About: Ive been taking care of pets since high-school, from great danes to kitties! Including but not limited to great-danes, pitbulls, hounds, labs and kitties! I am good with animals of all temperaments, from timid and not sure to excited to see anything! I love all animals and would love to help with all your pet and house needs. I am currently part time and can work around your schedule as well. I already get up to take care of my hound, pitbull and kitties. I would love to help you out as well! I love animals and have experience with the animals that also make a mess. I change litter boxes and I can even clean up after the ones who can't always hold it. I feed, and give fresh water. I walk dogs and also have experience with pulling. I can also just let them out if trained to do so and hangout with them as needed!

Elias took fantastic care of my tricky kitty, including administering meds in food and dealing with frozen wet food (Smalls) which is trickier than scooping dry food or opening a can. They were very responsive communication-wise and enthusiastic. I will definitely turn to them again for kitty care when I next leave town.

About: Huge dog lover...I’m definitely the type of person to pay more attention to the dog in the room than the humans haha :) I have very open availability and would love to help out by caring for your furry friend(s)! As a dog owner myself I understand the level of trust that comes with leaving your pets with others. I’m quite active and can assure that they will receive chances to exercise if needed, in addition of course to love & affection. As a house-sitter, I am also happy to help out with housekeeping and yard work. I am also very experienced with dogs who have experienced trauma and have issues such as anxiety. If you are having difficulties around these issues I may be able to provide a little insight, if anything try to help. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope to hear from you soon :)

Cyan was an amazing sitter. She came by our house before we scheduled her to meet our pup. Was very responsive and easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.

About: I have a long history caring for animals! I’ve worked with and cared for animals since I was six years old. I began training horses and dogs when I was eleven, and have continued to ever since. I have 2 dogs, a horse and a cat of my own. I’ve owned animals my whole life, never having the house without at least 3 dogs or cats at a time. I run and walk frequently and am happy to bring your pet along, but I’m also happy to stay in with a cat! I’ve cared for family and friend pets, and I’m able to provide all typical pet care and medication administration. I’m currently home from college, so I’m free almost any time! I’m happy to work with you and come up with a schedule that meets you and your pets needs. I’m incredibly mindful of your animals disposition, and any specifications you may have concerning the need of your pet! I’m able to drive to a clients home for sitting.

Sarah stop by the house a week before the booked day to get to know my dog and the routine. She is very pleasant. I booked her for two visits. Upon arriving home my 8 month puppy was very content. Everything went as planned. I will certainly use her again the next time I am away. I would recommend her services.

I was really worried about leaving my dog at home while I went on a business trip. Emily filled in last minute and served as a wonderful caretaker for my dog (which is a border collie). Emily made me feel so comfortable during this process. She was just wonderful with my dog. So reliable. So kind and caring. Highly recommended.

About: I have taken care of many animals, from aquatic to a variety furry friends. I am always willing to offer a hand in any kind of care or training that is needed to be kept up while their humans are away so that you can be sure the critters are getting the best care and love while you’re away. I am a paraeducator at a school that is less than a mile from my house. I come home everyday at lunch time and usually home by 3:15. Walks and playtime are a necessity for our fur babies and they love having friends to play with! I have 2 female dogs, both very friendly. We have an underground fence, though I would keep your fur baby on a leash when we go outside. We have a nice yard, about half an acre, live near a stream and love taking walks around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, and have been a go-to sitter for friends for years. Now with two rescue pups of my own, I understand and respect their nuances in a whole new way. I’m happy to work with reactive dogs (I have one of my own), and those that need a little extra attention. I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to take breaks to visit or walk your dog throughout the day. I spend most of my free time walking, hiking and running and would love to have another pup along for the fun! I treat each animal as an individual, and get to know their own unique wants and needs. I let them set the pace, and adjust my care to best suit their needs.

I am willing to accommodate to any special requests you may have as well! I have owned dogs for most of my life, including many very different breeds, and have worked with all age groups. I also have experience with other types of animals including many exotics! Animals are my passion and it would be amazing to be able to be around more all the time. I also have a smaller dog that gets along with others, which would be available for me to bring with me if you would like! I hope to hear from you and your fur baby soon! No animal is too big or too small for me to handle! I enjoy working with them all! Please send me a message for more information! I currently work full-time 4 days a week- which is a very easy schedule to work around. I am flexible when it comes to needing care for your babies! I live in a wonderful area that provides many different places to walk when the weather is nice and a small quiet backyard. I also have a small dog that is very comfortable with all types of animals as well.
