“Melissa is very reliable and responds quickly. Max and Ruby love their walks with Melissa, they always have the biggest smiles in all the picture updates. Would highly recommend Melissa, your fur babies will be well taken care of.”
2. Katarina G.
“Katarina (Rina) has loved animals since she was able to walk. There are currently 3 dogs, 8 cats and in the household that she helps care for. She has previously worked at Oakland Veterinary Hospital where she worked with dogs that were being treated, boarded, or up for adoption. This included feeding/walking the dogs and cleaning cages. She also did other tasks as assigned. Animals that are strangers are not afraid of her -- she has a natural affinity to gain their trust. She can set her own hours to meet your schedule as she does online schooling. She has previously kept several animals overnight for friends and relatives, and has appropriate size cages to accommodate them at night. There is also a large fenced backyard for animals to get fresh air, exercise, and bathroom needs. She will love and care for your pet as if it were hers.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and I have also been dog sitting on the side for friends and family for over 5 years. I will be able to care for your pups on a regular basis! Our own pups are always out and about, living the good life! I will make sure your cat/dog is well loved and all played out. Depending on location we can take long walks or just play in the backyard. 🙂

About: I’ve worked at the rescue in my hometown for a few years now, I’ve worked in 2 different grooming salons, and have also been involved with some vets. Working at a rescue and a grooming salon gives you so much experience to learn more about each breed and each dog. You get to learn everything about each sweetheart so we’ll over time that you also start to love them like they’re you’re own. I had to deal with almost every experience when it comes to pets as well. I love dogs so very much they have such a soft place in my heart and it’s always great to get to learn about their owners as well when they’re steady customers! I am a college student so I do have to leave for classes at times. January 6 starts spring semester so I will have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but will not be away for an extended amount of time. We live where there is a fenced in property, 2 large dogs who are very pet friendly. We take up lots of time with pets staying with us to make them feel as comfortable as possible and just because we absolutely love all fur babies!
7. Frances H.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was fourteen and have experience taking care of elderly, special needs, and young animals. I am a dog person at heart, but I love all animals and want you to feel assured while at work or out of town that I will take care of your pet. I work split shifts and have a flexible schedule where I can come home often on days that I work to let pets out and stretch their legs. I love playing with animals and make sure they have the attention they need while you are away. While at my home my dog Buddy loves other animals and will help them feel welcome.
8. Natasha J.
“Natasha is just great with my boxer, Cosmo just loves her so it is no problem going on a weekend getaway. Now half my office uses her as a walker and occasional sitter.”
9. Harley G.
“Harley is the best person you could have around your animals! No matter where we are, if she sees an animal she runs to them! They love her and trust her immediately. She is an awesome listener and friend! Definitely a first choice!”
10. Christi H.
“Christi was my go-to dog sitter! She was very flexible and responsible with my two dogs. She cared for my English bulldog, Theo, and my Jack Russell, Sam. My dogs were always well taken care of and she gave them extra play time! Christi would watch my two dogs overnight, for days at a time. She genuinely loves all kinds of dogs and it shows in her care! I extremely miss having Christi as my dog caregiver!”

12. Kydis D.
About: I was raised around many cats and hunting dogs which over time teaches you a certain amount of patience in order to make sure your pet is well taking care of . I am a part-time student and work a part time job but my schedule is open , weekends are also highly open for me considering I usually just do school work . I was brought up to treat someone else’s home as your own home , with that I not only want to make sure your pets are comfortable but as my clients I want to make sure your comfortable as well .
13. Anna S.
About: I have been raised around dogs since I was a kid and have always owned a few at a time. I love animals with all my heart, and am always so happy to meet new furry friends! I have 4 currently that include a Basset Hound, Bulldog, Pomeranian, and a rescue mix. When I take care of your dog, you can trust that I will treat them like they are my own - with love and kindness! I am free most any day of the week and at most hours. You just let me know when you need help and I'll work hard to be there! I will be offering services at the client's home so if there is a fenced in yard, I always double check it before letting the dogs out (I even do this at my home for my own pets), and also just being extra careful and keeping an eye on everyone. I treat animals like they're children and I know they need lots of supervision!

15. Jessica M.
About: I have always had a passion for working with animals! I have owned cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, fish and chickens! I have volunteered at multiple animal rescues. I also have some experience training dogs. I am available every day of the week. I understand that things come up on short notice and when that happens you need to find someone to care for your pets ASAP! I am here to fill that need. I am available to come to your home to care for your pets. I also have space available in my own home for a fur baby that is compatible with my own.
