About: I’ve watched friends animals before, but really I just used to take care of my own dog before she passed! But I really want to help out those who need help with their animals!! I have now graduated from college with my bachelors! I am working full-time at another job, but I am very flexible, and my job is very flexible with me so I can make most things work! I can take care of your dog or cat however you need, I love going on walks, playing, and spending time with animals! Just let me know what you want and I can provide!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals. I worked at the Beresford Vet Clinic as a kennel tech. I would take out dogs and play with them twice daily. I made sure they had clean water and were feed. I also gave many dogs meds correctly and on time. I would clean up after all accidents and learned to read different dog's behavior. I currently work part time and have lots of time during the day. Before and after I work and on days that I have time off. I feel confident reading your animal's behavior and taking care of their specific needs. I have worked at two vet clinics and have learned how to promptly handle animals and I'm not worried about cleaning up any messes.
About: I have always been an animal lover and good with animals. I didn’t start watching pets for a side business until I was about 14. I have never had a problem with an animal and I would love to keep your companion company!! As of right now I’m basically always free I am unemployed. I always have time to come and stop in for a potty break or even for a couple hours of play time. I always make sure I get details on the animal like personality, what they can have for snacks, any routines they have. I want to make sure me and the pet are as safe as possible.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 13 for friends, and family, and I love it! I love any type of dog(s) and love to interact with them! I also have 3 dogs of my own at home, and they are the best. I am available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays anytime after 1 pm, as I have classes, and I am free at anytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays! At home I have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs of my own. They are super friendly and love to play with other dogs.

“Josephine was wonderful with our dog! She is the sweetest soul and provided care above and beyond what we hoped for. We will definitely use her again.”
Brooke D.
“Brooke has watched my dog and four cats before and has provided great care. She makes sure feeding times are done at the right time, making sure not to over feed or under feed my animals. She also took my dog Gunner out for walks and kept him quite happy over the few days she watched him. The kitties loved having her as she got them all four playing as well. She communicates well and you can tell she really cares for animals!”

Peyton B.
“I have a very large mixed dog. He’s my love, but he doesn’t usually love everybody. In fact most people are not loved by him. Peyton has done a wonderful job with him and she has stayed with him for as long as a week at a time. It would be hard for me to trust anyone other than Peyton.”
Samantha H.
“Samantha was wonderful. She sent pictures and took very good care of our dogs. We will definitely be requesting her again.”
