Chrissy was very helpful in sitting my dog, Chloe, after my usual sitter cancelled on my last minute. I was immediately grateful for Chrissy’s response, especially during the interview stage when she asked me who Chloe is and if she has any immediate needs (i.e., allergies, food, medication, etc.). While I was away, Chrissy sent many, many pictures and videos, where she was being very playful with Chloe, and understand Chloe’s persistent need for attention.

About: I have taken care of animals since childhood. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fancy mice, african soft furred rats, small birds, aquatic turtles, fresh water fish, and ball pythons. I have known since childhood that I wanted to care for animals. During childhood I spent my free time volunteering at my local animal shelter. Helping clean animal pens and crates. During high school I volunteered at my local animal hospital as well as the local emergency animal hospital. As of recently I have been volunteering at a senior dog rescue. I love being able to help animals and I can’t wait to help care for your furbaby(ies). I currently am a stay at home pet parent and am looking to fill my free time with more animals. Plus I love to go hiking and always find it better to with a furry companion. My yard is unfenced but I enjoyed taking my dog on as many walks she wants. Sadly I can’t host pets at my house because my cats are wary about new dogs. But I love taking dogs on nice long walks so they can stretch their legs.

Ivi did such a great job watching our pups! She was with them for 2 weeks and sent lots of pictures that they looked very happy and well loved in. She was very responsive any time we reached out and also went above and beyond caring for our home. Thank you Ivi!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Since I was a kid, I could never walk past a hurt or stray animal without stopping to help. I’ve fed and looked after stray cats and dogs, reunited lost pets with their families, and even taken in animals until they were safe. One of my earliest memories is rescuing an injured bird from kids who were trying to hurt it and nursing it back to health. I’m currently a senior high school student that has lots of free time after school so doing pet care after my school business will be no such problem at all! Every since I was young I’ve always had love for animals and now that I can willingly take care of them for people I’m need of help I’m super excited to show the skills and care I offer to their pets!

However, I am able to follow your specific instructions, montior the pet's health, maintain the cleanliness of the pet's living area and your home, and exercising your pet to provide your pet with the best care they can get.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, both big and small. I’ve dog sitted for a couple of dogs around my neighborhood. We have trained my dog to walk off leash. Very active and would love to take your dog on a hike with me! Working part time throughout the summer. Free on weekends. Would love to stop by for early morning and evening walks/hikes! Overnight house sitting would fit right in with work. Before meeting the dog, I’ll make sure we acclimate to each others spaces. Allowing the dog to become accustomed to who I am and comfortable being walked or taken care of by me. Hopefully we’ll meet more than once and I’ll become recognizable and a friendly playmate!

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I am currently unemployed so taking care of your dog(s) is my top priority! So whether it’s staying at your house over night, or just coming in occasionally to check on your dog, I’m your guy! I work well with dogs in any environment, big yards, small yards, or even no yard at all. I am very good at commanding dogs & keeping them out of trouble while also letting them have fun at the same time.

Peg was fantastic to work with and we will be using her again for all future trips. She took the time to meet with us prior to the trip so that she could get to know us and our pets and also give us the opportunity to ask her questions. She was knowledgeable and detailed and really cared about what we were looking for in a dog sitting experience. She took pictures every day to let us know how everything was going and really helped us with peace of mind during our trip. The pups both loved her and she left the sweetest dog bone message for us when we returned!

About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained animals (including a dog that became a service animal), so I know patience, attention, and trust are key. Every pet in my care gets love, safety, and companionship, just like they’re part of my family.” My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to provide walks, playtime, or overnight care whenever your pet needs it. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. “I deeply care for every pet in my care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to their needs so they always feel nurtured and well-cared-for.”

Taylor was absolutely incredible! She was very attentive and kind to all of my animals. She let me know every time she was there and sent me tons of photos which eased my anxiety of being away from them. She went above and beyond for them and me 💕
