“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”
“Zayda did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies and home while we were gone for more than a week! She was very responsive and was able to accommodate us last minute. Knowing that our pup could play with her pup while we were gone was a bonus.”
“Abi is wonderful! We have a small dog who tends to be on the shy side so we're always a little nervous about leaving her with new people. Abi eliminated all my worries. Her friendly, intuitive and calm easy manner put Tinker (and myself) right at ease. Right after I left Tinker was giving Abi her paw and enjoying walks. We received lots of pictures and updates and she was flexible with pick up and drop off times. Abi is a professional and a gem, very happy to have her as our sitter!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job coming to our home and watching our older chocolate lab, Coco and our 2 year old miniature dachshund, Max. She treated are furbabies as they were her own. A+! ?❤”
“Alec and Buddha were awesome! The communication, videos, and pictures while we were gone provided a great level of comfort. Alec also did some work with training our puppy during his stay AND we know she had a fun time while we were away - they definitely worked hard and played harder! And as an added bonus, the house was perfectly clean when we returned! Looking forward to booking Alec again in the near future.”
About: I have a small hobby farm where I take care of animals off all ages and sizes. I work remotely from home (although I’ve got the ability to travel) so I have time to frequently check on everyone and administer food and meds on a regular basis. Although I only have a partially fenced yard, I have plenty of leader lines and leashes available for potty breaks and exercise. I currently have two dogs and a cat that live in the house with me and are very friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of room for crates if your dog prefers to sleep in a crate, and room for doggy beds if they are particular about where they sleep. I’m also willing to pet sit/farm sit locally if your furry friends would prefer to stay home. I work remotely Monday-Friday. I usually work at home, but I have the ability to work anywhere there is an internet connection if you would prefer an in-home sitter. Working remote gives me the chance to be home all day where I can do potty breaks for my dogs and check on my farm animals. It also allows me to be available if there’s any special requests such as medication and specific feeding times. My cat is a “one cat” kind of guy (we’ll work on that), so for now, I would only feel comfortable hosting dogs ay my house. However, I am available to pet sit in-home for cats or dogs that might feel more comfortable at home. I’m very comfortable giving meds and sticking to a strict feeding schedule if your animal has medical/dietary needs. I’ve seen (almost) everything, so don’t feel like you’re asking too much!
About: Have a family of 3 dogs and 2 cats and my family and I love our messy and hyper fur kids, no matter the situation we do research to avoid getting our fur kids sick and keep them feeling loved and relaxed :) I graduated from college this past summer and am working part time jobs so I have time to take care of friendly pets of any kinds and more than happy to house sit as well for any vacations! We have a fenced yard and we have a crate to put them in when they are doing naughty behaviors like digging through the trash or grabbing things (like food on the table) when they aren’t supposed to. I take them on walks and give them toys to play with as they love tug of war and enrichment toys to keep them busy while we are otherwise we cuddle and watch tv on the couch in my free time.
About: I can care for any type of animal you can think of. Let me know the animal and I will help you out! I have taken care of exotic pets to farm pets. I work a part time job so I have a lot of free time to hang out and take care of the animals I am sitting. Your animal will not be left alone for more then 2 hours at a time. I will care for your animal as close as I can as you do yourself. Your animal will feel at home and loved and cared for.
About: I currently have four of my own dogs ranging from 15 weeks-13 years old! I have watched family friends dogs in the past to feed, take them outside, and one dog was a diabetic dog that I needed to give him medicine for. I am off work during the summer! There are a few weekends I am out of town, but if I am around I would be more than happy to help! I currently have four dogs at my house! My little puppy loves to play and will play with anyone! I do have a few older dogs that will keep to themselves.
