12. Skylar K.
About: Hi! I’m Skylar, I’m a high school graduate, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 and even for my own animals before then. I’ve volunteered at vets so I know basic animal health, and I am flexible with dates and timings to fit your needs(: I currently nanny Tuesday through Thursdays from 9-1 and I pickup other small jobs at a coffee shop on off days. But with that I am flexible to care for your pet whenever you need me, weather it’s staying in your home or dropping in for check ins. I offer to stay in your home or drop in for check ins when needed. When doing so I am sure to love on your animal and play with them as much as they’d like and I am respectful of your home and your belongings. I always make sure to clean up after myself and leave a home better than I found it so that pet owners can return home to a clean place and a happy pet.


13. Emilee C.

“Emilee was able to step in on very short notice and took care of Lissy like she was her own. Followed directions great, even with giving meds and gave some extra belly rubs. Communication was great and I would definitely use Emilee again. Thank you for going the extra mile!”

17. Caira B.
About: I have taken care of every kind of animal since I was 12. Goats, dogs, pigs, horses, you name it! I just can not get enough animals in my life. I was also a dog groomer in the past! I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to love on your pet and give them the quality time they deserve and need. I am always cautious and sure to keep your pet or pets safe by listening to instructions you have or using instinct I have gained from experience.


18. jennifer m.
About: Hi pet parents! I am a loving caregiver of all types of furbabies and have volunteered with rescues and no kill shelters since my teens. I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own and happy to answer any questions you may have. I currently work part time as a nanny in the afternoons, but have fully open morning, lunch, and weekend availability. I am energetic, active, and outgoing and happy to provide any references or background check needed I live on over an acre in a quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac. I have plenty of room to roam and play! I have 2 dogs of my own that are microchipped, spayed/neuteted/ fully vaccinated and one was a past therapy dog. Happy to welcome new friends in our home


19. Jaimi R.
“Jaimi is my mother and she is a very trustworthy caretaker. She was a stay at home mom with me and my 3 siblings (major amount of attention and supervision required) and she used to run her own babysitting service. She had had many pets with long lives over the years, and is now mother to two cavapoos who look at my mom as if she is their literal entire world. She has a very compassionate soul and treats animals like her children. Could not recommend my mama enough! I would trust her alone with an animal or child of mine in a heartbeat, and you should have no hesitation doing this same.”


20. Daniel M.
“Danny is amazing with pets of all types of personalities! His whole family is full of animal lovers (some working in the veterinary and animal care industries) and he has recently been working really hard to become a dog trainer. He has an eclectic but well trained bunch of pets at home and, whenever I bring my dog over, he always includes her in all the play time and training. My dog can be a bit fearful at times, but he's helped her a lot with her confidence!”
