15. Julia M.
About: Currently, I have two cats. I've had a dog, but before that, I primarily had birds (parakeets), lizards (bearded dragons) and frogs (mostly bull frogs). I cat-sit on occassion for a friend and sibling. I also raise Monarch caterpillars in the summer and release the adults. I work full time outside the home but am home in the summer (teacher). I am available weekends and weekday evenings, with sufficient notice of weekday needs. I am usually available Friday evening through Sunday evening. I am looking to do drop-in pet care and dog boarding. I could board a small pet that resides in an enclosure in my home or a dog (or two dogs from the same household). Both my cats are comfortable with dogs but tend to keep to themselves. I have 2 children and 2 cats at home. It’s a one floor house. The yard is nice and big. I don’t have a fence but I do have a longer leash so the dogs can run a bit.
16. Jeanette M.
“Jeanette watched my pitbull Iris and was a very responsible and caring dog sitter!! I didn’t have to feel nervous or worried about Iris the whole time I was on vacation! She sent pictures and kept me updated the entire time which brought a real sense of peace to me :-) I was really nervous about being away from my baby but now I have someone I can trust to watch her take great care of her.”
17. Nicole C.
“Nicole is very responsible and reliable ! She took care of my animals for a long time with my work travels. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”
18. Grant W.
“Grant is an incredibly responsible and trustworthy young man. He has had dogs his entire life and they have been his very best friends. He is caring, gentle and loves any athletic activity -- he would be a great companion for any dog! You couldn't ask for anyone more reliable and good natured to care for your pet!”
19. Fiona D.
About: I have taken care of dogs over weekends for a nannying job and cared for dogs of my own since childhood. I also frequently help my neighbors take care of their dogs when they’re gone! I currently have extra time on my hands for a bit and love going for walks everyday, having a furry friend that can benefit is even more fun! I take my dog on a walk every morning and her care and safely is always a top priority. I also am very responsible and independent
