“Diane took care of our 10 month old over active English Springer Spaniel for 5 nights while I recovered from knee surgery. Her home was a perfect location for our Ana. Huge yard and open field. Small quiet neighborhood by the river. Nice size pet friendly home. I know she had her hands full with our puppy with her cats. Puppy never had been around cats before. I totally appreciate her time and taking in our Ana. She’s a wonderful person who cares about the pet and owner needs. I recommend her highly.”

9. Aries W.
About: I have been watching animals for 5+ years! I have cats and dogs alike! Anywhere from pups/kittens-elderly dogs/elderly cats! I have watched my aunts dogs from the time they were pups to senior dogs, plus I have also had my own dogs as well to care for! I currently own a cat that is aggressive to other humans and animals, so I do have experience with overly aggressive and overstimulated animals, because of my cat I won't be providing services at my house, but can house sit, dog walk, clean litter boxes, change the food and water bowls, give medications any time while at a clients house. I am currently working on being a stay at home mom. While my partner is home I plan to provide services to people in need of an animal sitter. If your pets are kid friendly, I will bring my baby with me to services that are required outside of my normal hours. Due to my cat I won't be providing care in my own home, but with my clients homes I will provide all necessary tasks that are asked of me, I will change the food and water, provide play time, walks/litter box cleanings, treats, medications along with endless love and affection. I can do routine potty breaks and outdoor fun, especially if their animals are kid friendly! I can do overnights if I am allowed to have my baby there also and I will respect and care for the clients homes.

14. Kylee S.
“Kylee has grown up helping care for the family pets including dogs, cats and a guinea pig. She has always loved animals and I was pretty sure at one point she was going to become a vet, however she decided on nursing as her career choice. She didn’t know how she could handle euthanizing animals on a regular basis so decided on caring for others in some of their worsts times. She is extremely responsible and helps manage feeding and medication schedules for our family dog who suffers from seizures. She is very caring and even as a young adult spent countless hours this past summer with 4 new kittens that we added to our family making sure they were getting fed and getting enough attention when they were first away from their mother. She considers our pets as part of our family and includes them on outings as often as possible. She can’t wait to get her own place so she can start rescuing pets and loves to dog sit whenever she gets the chance!”

Give her a chance & she may even surprise you with a portrait of your pooch as she also is very talented & loves to draw & paint them!”
