About: I've cared for a range of animals including cats and dog since I was in middle school. Provided detailed instructions I can snd have cared for disabled pets. I understand a pet is more than animal they're family. Pet care is my only form of employment while going through college. So I am available most often. Expect school hours which I will provide Without extra charge if pet sitting a whole 24 hrs or more I will do general cleaning and upkeep of the house such as dishes, floors, and trash. I always pick up after myself and your pet of course.

Courtney was very responsive and kept us updated as we were away from our pup. Lots of photos to make us smile. She went above and beyond and brought our packages in also.

Gabbi was great! I gave her a lot of information and she easily remembered it all and did a great job. At our meet and greet my cat Sue warmed up to her immediately and I knew it would be a good fit!

About: Growing up, I’ve always had many types of pets in my home; ranging from dogs and cats, to lizards and guinea pigs. Because of this I’ve been the go-to sitter for many friends and family. I’m no stranger to high maintenance pets and am willing to accommodate any special requests or embrace any quirks that will make you and your furry friend feel more comfortable. I work at a school, so I have the entire summer off beginning Memorial Day weekend, save for a couple vacations. Whether it be overnight or days of check ins and providing company, I will be able to devote a lot of time to your sweet friend! I’m very respectful of other’s property, spaces, and privacy, as well as your furry friends’! Willing to accommodate any special requests regarding this.

Jenny was such a wonderful sitter! The cats liked her immediately upon meeting her. Even our least friendly cat came out to play and enjoy her company. I look forward to booking with Jenny again.

Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!

About: I have watched dogs of all sizes from about 7 lbs to 120. My best friend has two Great Pyrenees who I watch and play with all the time. I had a Shih Tzu for about 12 years that I was responsible for feeding, walking and taking to the vet to keep vaccinations updated. I also have watched my aunts Yorkie multiple times. Being on summer break gives me lots of time for any responsibilities necessary. I am a teacher on summer break so right now I can give your dog/dogs lots of love and attention. I have plenty of time to go for walks. I have no dogs at this time as I just put my last dog down in September. I have lots of time for walks, love and will be able to feed them whenever needed. My goal is to keep them on their normal routines to ensure they are comfortable.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was around 12 or 13 years old. I would take care of neighbor's, and family member's animals. Such as walking them, feeding them, giving them the love and care that they receive everyday from their owners. I am in college so my schedule is very consistent! Two days out of the week I have 8:30am classes and then the other 3 days my classes start at noon. I am very flexible however, all of my classes end at or before 5pm. So I am available early morning, late morning, afternoon evening, depending on the day! Just reach out and I’m sure we can make it work!! I will respect your home, and follow said rules in your home to be able to give your animal the best care it deserves. ♡

Ali did an awesome job with our 4 fur babies, I think they love her more than us now. She was very attentive to their medications making sure they took the right amount, on time, and even had to add a day worth of medication because of issues our trip incurred. She was very diligent about making sure they had plenty of playtime (fetch) weather permitting. I'm thinking she might want to take up dog photography because she got quite of few fabulous pictures that we can never seem to get. The only reason I wouldn't recommend her is because I want her just for my fur babies, in all seriousness I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for taking care of fur babies (dogs) especially if they have to take oral medication.

Ros is great! She was on time and communicative and seemed very kind. My cats seemed comfortable with her right from the start. I had to go out of town while one of my cats was sick, and Ros was super easygoing about all the extra instructions and annoying follow-up questions. I would definitely book with her again.

About: I have had between 2-4 animals in my house since I was a kid. I have been pet sitting animals from kittens/puppies all the way up to 16 years old for the past 4 years consistently. I am good with helping animals take their meds and will interact with animals at their pace. I am currently working a part time job and starting full online classes so I can get my masters. This means that I will be free most of the time and will be able to make my schedule fit around my clients needs. In my clients home I will make sure to follow instructions given to me, ensuring I am familiar with all details to give the animals the best care. I will take any animals that enjoy walks for those in the area or to a park if they need to get energy out, play with them outside, or play with them inside. I follow a routine for feeding and for any meds they might have to take, while also checking to make sure they have full and clean water daily. If I am cat sitting I will make sure to check and scoop the litter daily as well if needed.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia. I’m a 25 year old Pharmacy Technician currently going to school for Psychology. I love pets of all kinds and I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and amphibians for my whole life! I love animals so much the only thing stopping me from becoming a Vet is having to put them down. I personally have two cats Mischief and Diva that get along very well with other cats. If my cats are a problem, they can easily be put away while your pets are at my home! I’m a very friendly, outgoing, and passionate person just looking for some pets to love, cuddle, and walk in my free time for some extra cash. They say if you love your job you’ll never work a day in your life! I work part-time at CVS Pharmacy located 10 minutes from my house. My hours of availability are: Monday: 5AM-7AM & 6PM-7PM Tuesday/Thursday: 5AM-7AM Wednesday/Friday: 5AM-8AM & 3PM-7PM Saturday/Sunday: All day For those requiring a boarding service, please note that I will not be available to tend to your pet **during the day outside of the specified hours above. I do have a Cat Cam for close monitoring while away. **Pets will continue to be tended to during the evening hours past 7pm. The environment contains a Cat Cam for close monitoring while away, 7ft cat tree, an automated litter box, free feeding kibble, filtered water fountain, many interactive toys, a window mounted bird feeder for some live CatTV, as well as some cat grass and lemonbalm plants to nibble on. I hope to make every experience the most enjoyable experience for both you and your furry friend(s)! My apartment features a sizable grassy courtyard for pets who like to spend some time outdoors, trips outside will always be closely monitored.
