About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have owned and cared for many dogs and cats, and currently have 3 sweet pups and 2 silly cats. I love active animals and more docile animals alike. Playing with toys with animals and taking them outside if needed is something I love doing. I care about the well-being of all animals and consider it very important that their lives are enjoyable and they are happy. I currently substitute teach, so my schedule is usually pretty open. I want to help pets out as much as possible, so I will make myself available as often as I can. I am a very attentive caregiver. I will follow your rules and allow plenty of fun and space for your pet. I always make sure there is enough food and water and ensure everyone and everything is as safe as possible.
“Alexis Was very dependable, loving, and very committed to ensuring Gizzy was taken care of. She communicated everytime she was at the house seeing Gizzy. She made sure Gizzy was fed and offered to go above and beyond. Definitely recommend and will use this service and Alexis again.”
“Issabella did a great job stopping in to care for our cat while we were out of town. She even brought a toy with her and the videos of our cat Doug seemed so happy. Grateful for Issabella!”
About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I can take care of pets anytime of the week when needed, though I do have an online college class Monday through Thursday that's from 1-3:50pm. I can take it anywhere since I have a laptop and tablet to work with. I will have that schedule until June 26th. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.
“Very kind and friendly young lady. Did a fantastic job keeping an eye on my cats. Sent wonderful reports after each visit and lots of pictures. We’ll definitely use again and would recommend highly.”
“Sophia was very good with the cats; I could tell by the pictures that she sent. They were friendly to her when they met her. Usually they are more aloof with new people they meet. Sophia took care of all the things we asked of her. I got a really good vibe from her and felt that my babies would be well cared for. I would recommend her, and we would hire her again.”
