12. Kaylah C.
About: I helped care for family dogs and cats since I was about five years old, feeding, giving water, walking and cleaning up after them until I was 18. I have boarded two dogs for a friend and provided drop-in visits for a former neighbor for about a year after that and worked at a pet hotel from '17-'19 in which time I got a dog training certification. I have some experience taking care of mice and hamsters and would like to learn how to care for rats and snakes. I'm currently looking for part-time work and would be more than happy to provide the love and care that your fur babies require in your absence. I'm also a newer driver and could really use the experience. Afternoons and evenings work best but please don't be shy about asking for morning services. Depending on the service and your pet's needs, I will spend as much time as they need whether it be a brief or long walk, cuddling on the couch, etc. I will be working part-time starting April 14, 2024. I will have a schedule ready sometime afterwards. Hopefully it will be in the next few weeks. I will keep your pet indoors for the most part, depending on the pet. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash when they go out for walks and to potty unless there is a fenced in yard.
13. Amanda G.
“Amanda’s great with dogs and it’s obvious that she loves working with them. On top of that she’s always very vigilant about their safety and makes sure they have everything they in order to make sure they’re taken care of. Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.”
14. Heather C.
“Heather took great care of our two dogs! I loved all of the photos and updates. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Heather again”
15. Chanelle C.
“Chanelle is a very trustworthy person, I have known her for 15+ years! She has watched my 2 small dogs a few times now for a week at a time plus. She was willing to learn their feeding & exercise schedule and like most people she shares the same respect of knowing pets are like children and shows nothing but love and care!”
16. Meagan C.
“We left Leo at our elderly in-laws. We hired Meagan to walk our boy, Leo. Our in-laws LOVED Meagan. Our dog, Leo loved her more. Thank u Meagan”
17. Colleen B.
About: I was a dog trainer for many years and I just opened up my own grooming shop. Have owned dogs since 2012. Also fostered a few and love to volunteer. Love running with my dogs and going to the dog park. Home most of the time, and when I'm not my husband is there. Love working with different dogs. I learn from all of them. What works for one, may not work for others. Love doing agility courses with my dogs. I love giving my dogs a job, so they aren't bored. They are my world and your dogs would be treated the same. For drop in visits and walks, it‘s best on days when I’m not working. But for overnight stays, I can schedule time from work to come home for breaks or take the dog with me to work, as long as they are ok with other dogs. I take dogs out on leashes. I have a double door to go outside, so they can’t easily get out of the house. I also have baby gates and crates.
18. Shai L.
“I have entrusted Shai many times with my most precious family members….my dogs! The dogs immediately recognize that she is a “dog” person and gravitate to her. I would not hesitate to let Shai watch my pets at any time. She’s responsible, caring and trustworthy.”
19. Rachel F.
“As long as I have known Rachel, she has always been around dogs and has been the best dog sister/mom. I love how she treats her current fur baby as the cutest travel companion. Rachel and her fiancé take Pickles kayaking, hiking, etc. That pupper isn’t left out of anything. She truly cares for all animals and is always willing to help us out with our dogs when needed.”
20. Sophie C.
“Sophie has always been good with animals. Sophie has had animals all of her life. One of which she found outside and nursed back to health. That kitten is now a full grown cat and has a loving home. Sophie also great with dogs. She sees to it that they have the utmost care and stays on top of their hygiene and health,”
