3. Lena A.
About: I have been actively pet sitting for the past two years, and have sat for various friends' pets in the past. I understand that having the "parents" away can be a stressful or confusing time for a pet. While I can never replace anyone, I do my part to ensure that the pets are as comfortable as possible while under my care. I am an artist/freelance designer and side gig virtuoso (that's a fancy way of saying I make my own schedule). I keep things flexible to adapt to different environments. I've been said to have a gentle, nurturing energy. I believe that animals are healers and that we get back the care that we give to them. I am deeply grateful that I get to have the freedom that this and my other gig/freelance work allows me. I hope that is reflected in my care and respect of the clients' pets and home.

6. Kayla O.
“I'm delighted to share my experience with Kayla as an animal caregiver. From the moment I entrusted my beloved kitty Milo to her, I knew I had made the right choice. Kayla is an exceptional animal caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of her clients. Her deep love and passion for animals are evident in every interaction. What sets Kayla apart is her dedication to providing a safe and nurturing environment, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch. My cat meows with excitement every time he sees Kayla, a testament to the strong bond and trust they've built. Furthermore, Kaya is highly responsible and reliable. She consistently ensures that my Milo is well-fed, and stays active and engaged throughout the day. I have complete peace of mind knowing my cat is in her capable hands. Kayla also maintains excellent communication. She provides regular updates, photos, and videos, so I never feel far from my kitty, even when I'm away. It's a level of transparency and dedication that truly sets her apart. In summary, I couldn't be happier with the care and attention Kayla provides. She is a animal lover, and the professionalism and commitment to the well-being of pets is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Kayla to anyone seeking top-tier care for their furry family members.”

9. Molly A.
About: I have grown up watching and taking care of family and friends’ dogs when they would go out of town. As I got older, I can proudly say I have taken care of dogs, cats and even bunnies! I have always had a love for animals and when I found out about this app I was so excited to get started. I would be more than happy to keep your pet company when you are a little extra busy! I currently work part time and my shifts are usually at a time where I would be available early morning and any time after the late afternoon! I am able to crate your dog if needed and I would love to take them out and play fetch out in the yard! As well as walking and making sure they are well fed and watered!
10. Anna D.
“Anna has been caring for any and every animal around that needed care in our neighborhood since she was a little girl! She’s extremely reliable and is very intuitive about what an animal is feeling and cares for it accordingly. I’ve known her to sit outside in the rain with dogs who were scared of thunder to be a soothing companion for them. Her own pets are always well cared for and look happy and busy. Anna shows up on time and does exactly what she’s been asked to do. Her love for animals goes beyond dogs and cats: she’s cared for ducks, chickens, goats, nestling birds who fell from the tree and the occasional rabbit. Anna is trustworthy and she likes to do a really great job at any endeavor she’s asked to accomplish. I wholeheartedly recommend her for this job.”
