“Stacey is so incredible!!! She is communicative, flexible, and so kind. She took amazing care of my girl and went above and beyond to be helpful. A bear knocked over our recycling bin and she picked it all up, she brought a package in, and most importantly she made our dog so so happy!! We will call Stacey any time we need a little help with Blue going forward!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life! I’ve been in the animal care industry for about 7 years now ! Working in Kennels, Vet Clinics, volunteering at the animal shelter when I was younger and now I’m a dog groomer (3years). I have lots of experience with many breeds and sizes! No dogs too big or too small! I can trim nails if needed or even offer you my services as a dog groomer :) I’m currently working full time but I am a dog groomer so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Thursday and Sundays I’m available any time ! Monday-Wednesday I would be available after 2pm. Friday and Saturday availability is after 1pm. I am big on affection! I love to cuddle up with my cat (Sauce) and yours! If you’ll give me a chance ! I love to hike and be outdoors! I have a dog named Daisy Mae and she’s always been a fan of taking trips to the creek or just taking hours long walks just sniffing everything she sees! I make sure she’s tick free when we finish especially! I am a very outgoing person and very patient when it comes to really everything! I will make sure to treat your doggie just like mine with lots of love and extra attention! I tend to get along with bigger dogs a lot because they are high energy and love to get out and move !

“My German Shepherd puppy Bianca and Angela got along very well. They spent the six days together, one hour per day, walking and playing in the dog park. I felt confident in Angela after our initial meeting at my house. We spent about 20 minutes getting to know each other. Afterwards, my puppy Bianca and Angela spent some time outside, and that's when I knew this was a wonderful match. I trust Angela with my dog, and I'd recommend her to any dog owner who wants outstanding services.”

“Steve was fantastic with my three dogs! His calm, easygoing energy made a noticeable difference right away. One of my dogs, Dolly, typically needs some time to warm up to new people but almost immediately she was walking happy and relaxed. This honestly blew me away. It's clear Steve has a natural way with dogs. I'd highly recommend him, especially if you have a pup that can be a little hesitant with strangers. We'll definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve cared for many different animals throughout my life, including mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife. I’ve cared for pets of friends and family. I have experience with overnight sitting in the pet’s home. I also have experience caring for senior and special needs animals. I spent 6 months as a volunteer at a vet clinic assisting with exams and surgical procedures, and I am currently exploring career paths in animal sciences and wildlife rehabilitation. I have lots of availability to care for your fur babies! I work part-time as a waitress while exploring different careers in the field of animal behavior and sciences. I have the flexibility to accommodate to your schedule and needs. I can be available on most weekends and holidays. I also accept same-day bookings. I prefer to care for animals in their own home where they feel most comfortable. As well as walking in areas they are familiar with. I always make sure to maintain pet safety in the home such as keeping doors/windows/gates shut and keeping hazardous items and toxic plants out of reach or locked away.

About: I've helped family members with their dogs since I was 7, spent months working 11 hours a day at dog training school, and recently, my home has become a second house for a little Scottish terrier named 'Zoe.' and for a few years, we've been taking care of her, and her owner has been happy to send her back again and again. I am very flexible, I can work any day as I love taking care of pets and knowing they are as happy and safe as they can possibly be. I am not able to host dogs in my home, however, when taking care of a dog in your home, I would be willing to feed, walk, bathe or play with them in exactly the preferred way.

About: I have had pets since I was a baby. I had two rabbits who I took care of during my childhood, such as feeding and brushing. When I was around 10 years old we adopted my current dog, who I walk and play with frequently. My family often petsits other animals as well, mostly dogs. I have helped with catering to these dogs needs since I was 9 and have always loved getting the opportunity to take care of them! These experiences have taught me the responsibility necessary to actually take care of animals. I am available to pet sit the entire week except on Mondays. I am a very flexible person and do not mind cancellations or late notices. I have a large yard my dog loves to play in, along with The Canal Trail as a 2 minute walk away from my house. I often take toys from our large toy box to go out into the yard and play with him.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
