About: If you want to get away for that well deserved vacation or just a 3 day weekend and feel secure in knowing that your fur babies are being lovingly cared for, then I’m just who you’re looking for! I have loved dogs (and most animals) my whole life. I think of them as a family member, not as a pet. I will remain calm around your loved one as not to cause any anxiety. Even though I don’t have a dog at this time, I have had many dogs throughout my life. I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t have one. My best friend (a Boxer named CC) had quite a few medical problems from 2010 through 2015 and I had to give her an average of 17 pills a day. (Sometimes less). So I’m pretty experienced as far as that goes. My schedule is very flexible and I am very reliable. I am flexible about allowing your pet on furniture. If that’s not allowed I will follow your wishes 100%.

“Julianna has watched my 2 crazy dogs numerous times- they absolutely adore her. I never have to stress when we are out of town because I know my pups are in great hands! I have 2 large dogs and she’s always been capable of managing their crazy energy, as well as providing lots of love and snuggles that they always demand!”

15. Sydnie D.
About: I have cared for various types of animals since I was around 10 years old. You can trust me to take great care of your fur baby as I have the best interest of all animals at heart. I currently work 8-4:40 5 days a week. This schedule is ideal for pet siting as it leaves me plenty of time morning and evening to spend with your fur baby. I have a large yard and a very sweet male black lab to keep your dog company. However, I can keep them separate if necessary.
16. Cassie A.
“I have known Cassie for over 4 years now and if there is one thing you should know about her, it is that she loves animals with her whole heart. From the moment I met her she was passionate about animals and loves each and every one as if they were her own. Once, we witnessed a dog get hit by a car and Cassie did not hesitate to stop and get the dog and care for it through the night until we could take it to the vet the next day.”

About: I have always had a pup running around me my whole life and can guarantee my love for them. I can walk dogs, clean up after them, feed them, play with them all day long! I can also bathe them and administer some medications if needed! I have experience working as a kennel technician with both dogs and cats! I am currently working part time and available in the afternoon and evenings. I can get started with pet care after 5pm Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday and all day Friday-Saturday! I can take your fur babies on walks or let them out in a fenced in area in the home. I would bathe them and feed them as instructed and of course give them all the playtime and attention they need!

19. Nicole W.
About: I have a vast experience taking care of animals of all ages— from newborn to senior care. Growing up on a farm, I have experience caring for all types of animals. I’ve studied different dog breeds as well as dog training. Having 5 fur babies of my own now, I know how important it is to find the right care for them when you’re away. I provide updates each visit and tend to each animals personality and needs. I work from home full-time Monday-Thursday . My schedule is flexible and also allows me to work wherever i want. (In your home if preferred) I have a fully fenced in backyard, as well as a fenced in lanai (with a pool if your dog likes to swim.) We also have a ton of walking trails in the neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own who can keep yours company if desired. I have a large space fit for a kennel as well separate rooms for your pet to have its own space if needed.
20. Kerstyn S.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. What started as my own quickly transformed into me neighbors and families as well. I can cut toe nails, bathe, walk, etc! I currently work from home and go to school but I can definitely care and love on your pups and cats (and any other animal). I love all of them - big and small! I have a fenced yard with my own friendly dog that loves to make friends as well. I can also crate your (or my) dogs if needed with a crate you provide. I’m currently working part time so I have tons of time to look after your pets. I’m about to go on maternity leave as well and so my complete attention will be turned to working from home with odd jobs! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly pup to keep your dog company. I have a couch for dogs to lay on and a dog bed.
