She was absolutely fantastic! Had to book her last minute due to another sitter not responding. She came over that night since we were leaving in the morning. Followed all directions and sent lots of pictures. Could tell she gave my pup lots of love. Will definitely book again! Thank you Isabella!

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting and walking, and I love taking care of them and loving on them. Animals have a way of speaking to my heart and I love to play with them and spoil them with love. They’re great cuddle buddies and are always there for you Even on your worst days. This is my passion and I’m here to help you out with your fur babies! RULES FOR DOG SITTING: I am stating this because of my personal experience on the app. All dogs must be bathed before sitting. I am going to be taking care of your fur baby, so I expect them to be sanitary while they are in my home just as you expect me to keep your fur baby safe and healthy. All supplies required for your dog during their stay must be brought to the home upon sitting. I am unable to spend money for dog supplies. Thank you in advance! I currently work nights 4 days a week. I will be home to watch and care for your fur babies during the day while they are awake and have 3 days off to spend with them! I can watch max two of your fur babies at a time as long as they get along with other dogs. I am not accepting cats to watch right now In my home.

My cat loves attention and she gave it to him. I was worried that he would be too lonely, so Savanna was the perfect alternative to a lonely cat. She played and cuddled with him and sent picture updates -- and she was very polite. I will be a repeat customer.

Bradley was fantastic with my dog Beso. Beso can get very anxious when we leave and its important for me to know that I am leaving my dog in good hands. Every visit, we got updates and he was able to make us feel more relaxed while we were away. Thank you for all of your help!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, including family pets and those of friends, for the last 10 years. I now have two pups of my own! :) Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, administer medication to, and otherwise care for their dogs for many years. I love spending time with all the fluffy friends! I work from home and am generally flexible with my schedule! Just let me know, and we can find something that works for all of us. I have a fenced yard and my friendly own dogs can keep your fur babies company. We can also separate them completely if you prefer. We have two sides of the house with separate entrances to the backyard.

Yesenia & Michael did a great job caring for our dog and out horse when we went on vacation! They even helped out by giving our cat her medication when she came up with a last minute sickness. They kept us updated with reports and pictures so that we could relax and have have a worry free vacation knowing our babies were taken care of. We will definitely use them again!

Bethany and Will did a wonderful job with our 2 cats. One is diabetic and needs insulin injections and Bethany did great! We don’t travel much because it’s difficult to find someone to take on that responsibility but I can say she handled it perfectly. I would definitely trust them to watch our babies again!

About: I have 3 dogs and cat of my own..2 goldens and mini bernedoodle. Dogs really are better than people. I have also had two litters of goldens so I am comfortable taking care of puppies. I have always had pets for my adult life and am happy to give your pets a break when you cannot! I work from home so I have some flexibility in my schedule . There are times when I do have to go to my office and have learned the value of a good and dependable dog walker so I figured why not help out others. My pets are my kids and their well being is top of mind always. I will take care of yours the same as mine. But I would like to meet you and them before dropping in.

About: Growing up I cared for many pets and always wanted to be a veterinarian. Now that my children are older I can finally care for more pets again. This is another way I can do that and help some families out as well! I would love to be there person your family can rely on to help care for your fur babies while you’re away! I live right next to a park and would love to go for walks, play in my large fenced in back yard, or play in the park. I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours 🥰 Currently a stay a home mom I feel like this would be perfect for me and my kids. I would love to use these times as an opportunity to also show them how to care for and be responsible for when it comes to having their own pets. My yard is completely fenced in, and there is plenty of space for your fur baby to run free, outside and inside, and still be safe and secure!
