We had Michele watch our cat again while we were out of town. As always, she sent lots of pictures and detailed reports. Kitty has gotten to know Michele and looks forward to seeing her. It is so comforting knowing that she is in such good hands.

Ashley is absolutely wonderful! She watched our birds while we were away and made sure they were safe, happy, and well cared for. Ashley was calm, attentive, and genuinely kind. She sent thoughtful updates/photos and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I’d trust her again in a heartbeat!

We are so glad Sean is around to help. As dog parents, it was starting to feel like we would never find the right fit for our little one. Once Sean became available everything changed! Our biggest worry was making sure we could find someone who is kind, and not just doing this job for money. After booking with Sean you can see he is a true animal lover! You can tell he actually enjoys spending time with whoever he is caretaker of for the day. Another huge bonus is that he actually has enough energy to keep up with our little one. That made all the difference! Thank you for all the help Sean, we will definitely be back!

About: I have taken care of service pets throughout my life from family/friends ranging from cats, dogs, turtles, and birds. I live spending time and playing with all pets and will treat them with the love and care that I would treat my own pets with. My work schedule matches pet care well as I am available throughout the day as I typically work night shifts making me widely available to most schedules I match to whatever needs my clients/pets may have, I personally have had sick pets in the past and understand that each have their own specific needs.

Chris has been amazing to work with. He is very attentive to our cat Cooney and leaves a very detailed summary after each visit. I had to make a few last minute changes to the original schedule days and he accommodated with no issues. Took lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated, and was very responsive.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for 5 years and counting. From their routine feeds, litter box cleaning, and play time, I’ve assisted several cats with their daily care. I’ve walked and fed dogs for almost 2 years from sizes small to medium ! i have a flexible and easy schedule to work with as I’m a current college student with many open availabilities. My schedule is fairly open and flexible ! I am a college student with just one class twice a week, so generally any time or day is perfectly acceptable for me <3 Besides Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-11 AM, my schedule is open and flexible! Contact me for further info. I tend to the pet’s every need provided by the owner’s instructions! I make sure to feed, clean after, and to definitely interact and play with your furry friend (as long as it’s fine with you and your pet). I don’t leave any pet unattended nor unstimulated, they still need love even when you’re gone!

Yiting is a very reliable and loving pet caregiver. I've known her since our grad school times and she has always been a very responsible friend. Yiting has a very sweet Golden retriever, and she takes very good care of her. We have a husky, who is very energetic and requires a lot of effort. And we always trust Yiting to take care of our dog whenever we have to get out of town. Yiting keeps her entertained by taking her out for long walks, playing toys with her. And she helps give medication in a timely manner. Moreover, our dog also enjoys playing with Yiting's dog as her golden is very well behaved and well mannered, and they've become very good friends. I would highly recommend Yiting as a pet caregiver for your dog.

About: About our home: We live in a one story home with a big, double large fenced yard. We located near numerous parks and am a little drive from two parks. We have a doggy door so dogs are free to roam in and out of the house. Our babies: We have two rescue dogs, Max and Miley, at home that are very friendly and enjoy other dogs' company. Max is on the more active side and Miley is definitely shy and skitish. Max like to be chased and toys. Miley tends to hide when there are new dogs around and it takes her a small amount of time to come out and say hello. Once she's comfortable, she likes to play chase and with her toys. Neither are food or toy possessive. They are taught to not bother other dogs when they are around their food bowl. My fiance Greg and I work reverse schedule. Greg also works hybrid job, so he's home half the week. During your furbabie's stay, there should not be more than 2 hours where they are alone. We both love dogs and are very active. We enjoy our morning/evening jogs/walks. Dogs that are active/runners are a plus in our books! We have a family 13 year old Husky that occasionally stays with us. Please note that depending on drop off/pick up time, it may be either my Fiance and/or I present. We make the best effort to be present at the meet and greet or the drop off to ensure familiarity between pet and owners. Environment: I have a stone wall (~ 7 feet high?) and the side gate is double gated. We have a large yard full of towering trees for shade. We also have a gazebo and an umbrella patio set that allows pets to pay under the shade too. Dogs have in and our privileges through the doggy door. We have a sunroom that has a bench with memory foam cushions that some dogs like to sunbathe on. Dogs can also come inside and hang around the main house. We have three different spots for our water bowl around the yard/house. We also have security cameras. Puppers: Miley is 8 years old and is timid but will play when she warms up. Miley loves toys and likes to chase and play wrestle. She is a cuddler and highly food driven. She likes walks and will not run for her life. Max is turning 10 this year and loves to relax in the sun but likes to be chased. *My sister lives down the street with her two dogs (They are young &playful) and will sometimes pop in for a visit. Please let me know in advance if you prefer your dog to not meet any other dogs* *We live in a dog friendly neighborhood, so our dogs do sometimes greet neighboring pets during our walks. Please let us know if you would not want your pet to say hello to our pet neighbors.

Devon is a wonderful young lady who is very conscientious and hard working...AND she LOVES dogs. She is very caring and responsible concerning what the dog needs on walks and what they need as she cares for them. For me, she has been an excellent dog walker that I completely trust. I highly recommend Devon as a dog walker that you will feel very good about and trust her to do a great job.
