About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years, caring for pets like they’re my own. One of my regular clients is the woman who does my hair and lashes—she trusts me so much, I’m the only person she asks to watch her dogs. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking, feeding, and bathing pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m dependable, gentle, and always happy to follow special care instructions to keep pets happy and safe. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I only have one in-person class Tuesday–Thursday for a few hours, so I’m free most days and weekends to care for your pets. I’ll have plenty of time to walk, play, and keep them company throughout the week. I prefer to dog sit in the client’s home, as I live in an apartment with roommates. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress. I will ensure they are cared for in a safe, loving atmosphere, with plenty of attention and affection.
“Christina did an excellent job house sitting and keeping our four cats company. Before we left, she read instructions thoroughly and asked questions. She checked in almost every day of our trip with cute pictures and updates. Our cats really seemed to enjoy her company. The house was just as clean when we returned as when we left it. I felt like our cats were in great hands with her. Highly recommended from a helicopter cat mom!”
About: Hey I’m Brooklyn, I’m going to make this short and sweet but info packed! I have grown up with dogs, I currently have an Irish setter named Mac, while also having two French bulldogs at my parents whom I am constantly watching. I have been dog sitting since I was around 10, I am well versed in all types of dogs including breed, temperament, and signal's dogs use. I have taken care of senior and special need dogs, including a beautiful Mastif named Matilda. I am well versed in giving medications/shots to dogs as well as how to help them stand, get up, lay down, and use the restroom while not being able to do so fully by themselves. If I am unfamiliar with how to do something I will be upfront and honest with you and either have you show me how to do said task, or do research! If you are nervous about leaving your dog with someone you do not know let me help! I can meet up prior to you even booking and try to ease your mind. I know it can be scary leaving your dog and I want to help you and your pup feel comfortable! If you dog is aggressive I would be more than will to watch them! Aggressive dogs are not bad dogs, they are scared. I have owned an aggressive dog myself, as well as worked with quite a few. If you have tricks you have found worked for your dog I would love to hear them. If not I have done hours of research, reading, and experience with aggressive dogs. Training, if your dog is in the process of training or needs to learn simple sit and lay down type of commands I would be more than happy to work that in to ensure the best for you and your pup! I am also more than happy to do baths for your pets I’m so excited to get to know your babies! Feel free to reach out if you need more info on a specific topic. I am a college student, I have classes mostly in the morning but very spaced out. My schedule is flexible other than my classes. Sundays I do go to church but if need be I can find my way around that. Dogs are not just dogs, they are family. When in my care your dog will always come first not matter what the situation is. Your home will always be treated with respect and left better than I found it. The dogs needs are extremely important even if it is a ball stuck under the couch! I will listen to what your dog need from you and your dog, I will treat your animal with respect and the upmost care.
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve had Rottweiler, cane corso, and English Mastiff. I currently own a husky and pitbull. I’ve also had cats.

And my family has trusted me numerous of times to watch after and bathe their pets. Pet sitting fits in my schedule as I’m looking for work right now, I’ll be able to come by and take the time your pet needs to insure he or she is safe and went outside.
