13. Katie W.
About: I've pet sat for years. I love spoiling them and sending them back home. I have helped many pets that are typically apprehensive with other people come right out of their shell. I have a very loving and caring environment. With kids that also love pets as well. We have plenty of space in the back yard to run. We ourselves go on daily walks. I love animals. They are apart of our lives while they stay with us. Id say that they are way more spoiled while they are here. I provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. I treat them as if they were my own pet. I know that is easy to say but ask any of the pet parents.
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!”

I have fed animals, given medication, taken walks, and spent time giving them the attention they’re missing while their owners are gone.

My weekends are very flexible, and I’m very flexible in the summer months. As a pet sitter, trust and reliability are very important to me. I am a type A person who plans my schedule around animals I’m caring for. I am willing to walk, clean litter boxes/pick up BMs, give medication, vacuum/sweep around litter boxes, and give your animal(s) the love and care their missing when you aren’t there.
