About: I studied to be come a vet assistant at high dessert medical college, where I also took an extern ship with task that included, helping take care of animals for boarding, injured animals, and animals before and after surgeries. I have skill with proper animal care and proper husbandry. I am currently working part time at the blvd so they won’t be alone for more then an 8hour shift and I only work one 8hr shift a week so ill be home most of the time when pets are in my care I will allow pets full access to my room and living room (I do have young siblings in my house so I would keep pets in my room if the kids are being to rough) while taking them on walks during the day and night or as needed I’ll feed them to owner preference along with 24/7 access to plenty of water I do understand I have a small apartment but I live close to a park with a dog area to take them for few hours twice a day while it is fresh outside unless otherwise specified by owner.
“Calie did an amazing job taking care of our kitties. Luna has a hard time socializing with people she doesn't know but she was immediately drawn to Calie! I received daily pictures of our cats being loved and doing great, which was so beautiful to see. I recommend Calie and will be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“Thank you so much for caring for my 3 cats while I was on vacation with my family! I will definitely keep you in mind for future needs and will recommend you to anyone else who needs a pet sitter! Thank you again so much for your care. God Bless.”
“Crystal pet-sat our cat in February and it was an amazing experience. She was extremely communicative and she sent so many amazing pictures and videos! Mikey is definitely a little high maintenance and I felt like she did an amazing job with him! I would have reviewed sooner, but I truly forgot until just now!”

We love to go to the dog park and get pup cups from starbucks I have been caring for dogs and cats for 13 years and look forward to meeting your furry friends! I work 7-3:30 4 days a week but on my days off I’m free the entire day. If I’m pet sitting multiple photos and updates will be sent every single day! All pets will be taking out on a leash for potty breaks and watched intensely to ensure safety at all times. I have a 4 year old Maltese who gets along with other animals but if needed I can always separate your pet as my place has 2 stories.

“Super friendly, I like that we did a meet and greet before hand that way our dogs get a sense and they loved you. Thank you so much for coming and taking care of our fur babies.”
“Jeanette is local to me and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. We have cameras so I was able to track her visits and watch her spend time with the dogs. Our agreement was to just feed my 2 dogs twice a day, but she went above and beyond. She brought my mail and packages into my garage and spent time playing with our German Shepherd and Beagle. She was "on Task" and on time every day. I would definitely use her again.”
“Zena was great with my herd (2 adult Ger Shep 2 puppies 10 weeks) crazy bunch 😜. Got a filled out report card, pics, and a text on the not so great behavior of one (big thanks for that). Booked her for Thanksgiving week, will review for that but I can tell it'll be great and we won't be missed LOL.”
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs in my life since I was born. I was practically raised by two lovely German Shepherds and have only fostered a deeper love of animals the older I've gotten. I have housesat for relatives and taken care of their dogs in their absence. I have experience with taking care of young pups/kittens and currently take care of my precious elderly chihuahua, Ellie. I also have some experience taking care of reptiles, such as turtles and bearded dragons. I'm free almost any given time so long as I'm given a day or so of communication. Happy to work with yours and your pets' schedules! I take great care to watch for an animals body language and react accordingly. I can crate most dogs so long as they're trained for it. I'm also available to message for updates 24/7 if you want updates on how your fur babies are doing.
“Adrienna was great checking in on our cats while we were out of town. Sent us pictures everytime she went. She even cleaned up the mess made when one of the cats must have pushed the freezer door open and everything melted while we were gone.”
