Taylor was so great being flexible with the rain today. She was super prompt with my requests and obviously loves dogs. She took girls out for a walk and even wiped paws when they came back before coming inside. Girls were happy and looking forward to next time with Taylor!

Lexi and I work together at an animal hospital. As the Lead Tech at our clinic, I never have doubts about Lexi and her technician skills. Lexi improves daily with her technician skills and shows great passion for every single animal that comes through the door. She is a bright light and truly a very lovely person. I would not hesitate to let Lexi pet sit for my fur babies!

Leena is the best pet sitter. She is not only an exceptional pet sitter but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and devoted. She is available to work around my schedule on short notice. She demonstrates enormous love and compassion for all animals. We are really happy with Leena’s cat and birds sitting for years but more importantly, our cat Mau and two parakeets love her. They thrived in her care and we came home to a happy, contented cat and two chirpy birds. We appreciated the regular updates and the pictures and that we could absolutely trust her with our animals and our home.

About: Currently in vet school, watched dogs and worked in vet clinics for 6+ years now, looking for an easy part time job during fall and spring semesters Currently in school, when I do dog sit I usually go mornings and evenings but my school schedule does allow for a lunch break so I can also squeeze in time then. I am very comfortable around all kinds of animals and I am confident in my care ability based on my vast amount of experience within clinics and dogsitting for various coworkers or neighbors

About: I have my own dog that I had to leave at home since moving to college, I miss being around dogs and interacting with them! My friend and I go on daily walks and need a buddy! I work part-time in retail currently and would love to spend time with some pups! I don’t have a set schedule unfortunately it is a bit all of the place. I am a very respectful and careful person that prides myself in treating other people and animals with kindness at all times! I have always been a diligent dog owner when I had my dog before moving away from home, keeping a schedule with her with feeding times and play times as well.

About: I've enjoyed watching others pets for work since college. I also have an older dog who is 10 this year. I offer drop in services throughout the week, and walking services I work in mornings and am generally free in the afternoons for drop ins. My most common free time for drop ins are between 12-2pm for mid day services. If there are any safety concerns (anxious dogs, escape artists, etc) I like to review this with the owners beforehand. An overview of any "off limits" zones for dogs and if they have any current temperament issues with other dogs, I prefer to walk their dog in opposite areas to avoid other dog encounters. I also prefer all walking to be done solo and away from other people since dogs can be reactive and its better to be cautious

She’s great with my 2 girls. One of them (Pepper) is very shy around new people. Kylie was patient and understanding in building her relationship and trust with her. Now she gets super excited whenever Kylie comes to pick her up for a walk! I highly recommend!

Katie pet sat and walked our dog for four years and did an exceptional job. She loves all pets and treats them as part of her family. We trusted her to stay in our home when we were away and always knew our pet would be well taken care of / fed, brushed, walked and hugged. I have seen her with other’s pets, always treating them with love and kindness. I would without reservation recommend Katie as a pet caregiver.

About: Hi! I’m Kerri :) I’ve had dogs and cats for pets since I was in preschool. I currently have a 5 year old Teddy Bear dog named Teddy and a 1 year old cat named Merle. They are definitely important parts of my family! Having adopted a puppy in the last few years, I feel like my skills dealing with younger dogs is fresh in my mind. They definitely require patience, love, and understanding - as any child would! The joy of seeing a dog learn and grow has been a wonderful experience. I would love the opportunity to help you out with your pets needs - whether that is dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know I work from home and have a flexible schedule - which is great because I’m able to care for pets whenever required. I understand routine is important and I’m happy to work with pets and their owners to accommodate their needs. I’m happy to provide pet setting services in your home, but I’m unable to care for your pet from my house due to animal limits. Both of my pets are indoor animals. I understand that pets thrive on routine and may have different needs on acclimating to new people in their space. I’m happy to work with pet parents on whatever their pets needs are.

About: I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember, and have helped care for them my whole life. I have trained them all. I have experience with behavior challenged dogs, as well as older dogs with medical issues. I am a pre-veterinary student and I have been a trusted pet and house sitter for friends and family for years. Your fur babies will be safe and cared for, and I take about a million pictures of every pet I come across, so expect to be sent tons! (; I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of pets, ensuring they get quality care and the attention that they deserve! I make sure that I know exactly what the pets will need and where everything to take care of them is. If walking, I always make sure I have the correct equipment for each specific dog. I treat each animal based on their personality and needs, no pet is the same! I ensure that I have a plan in case of an emergency.
