Paige fed my cat while I was away, so nice! Sent me so many pictures playing with my cat, which I appreciated. I would definitely ask her to watch him again.

About: Although I’m young, I have been around dogs as long as I can remember. I’ve owned, fostered, and worked with shelters. I know all the ins and outs of dogs! I’m currently on summer break until late August and there is nothing else that would need my attention besides your pet at the current moment. I have a fenced in backyard, but it is on the smaller side. I have one male neutered dog who is very friendly with others and loves to play.

As a pet owner, you simply want someone you can trust to give your pet the best care and create safety while you're away and we found that in Claudia! We needed a sitter to drop in on our cat Nala while we were away and Claudia was amazing from start to finish. She was on time and kept us informed throughout her time with Nala. Nala was so comfortable and happy with Claudia and we appreciated having someone we can trust! I highly recommend Claudia for any of your pet needs, we will definitely re-book her in the future. Thanks for everything!

Neighbors, friends and family count on me to walk, feed, bathe and give their pets plenty of love and attention—keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free I'm currently working part-time from home , so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! ! I'm available for boarding anytime . I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable in a familiar space.

About: Need someone who can handle more than just a walk in the park? I was raised on a farm and have professional zoo experience. I have cared for many animals and can administer meds, handle large breeds and provide loving care. Currently a dog and turtle owner, I am a responsible professional looking to help you enjoy your travels worry-free. I am available anytime on weekends. During the week, I can provide care in the early mornings before 8:00 AM and in the evenings after 5:00 PM. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you are away. Drawing on my background in zoo and farm care, I am meticulous about following instruction whether that involves administering medication, adhering to strict feeding schedules, or managing specific turnout times. Because I work full-time, I structure my care around a schedule during the week: I provide quality care, exercise, and feeding before 8:00 AM and after 5:00 PM, while weekends are open for longer adventures and companionship. I treat your home with the same respect as your animals. I am experienced in maintaining a clean environment and can provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your own adventures knowing your home and pets are secure.

About: I have had 3 dogs growing up so use to handling multiple at one time. Also my shih tzu that passed had severe skin allergies so I have experience with medical baths and diets. I work from home 3 days a week so home all day MWF, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in the office but only a 10 min drive away and can walk them during lunch and be back home with your doggo before dinner! I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park, personally have a well sized yard and back deck for lots of outdoor fun! Currently I own 2 guniea pigs but they’re quiet and kept on an elevated surface no dog has been bothered by them before. Lots of toys and 2 beds here to play with but encourage to bring your pet’s favorites here as well.

About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.

We can’t recommend Garrison highly enough! He was incredibly conscientious and kind, taking the time to understand our bunnies’ routines and needs before we left. Each day, he spent an hour with them—snuggling, feeding them exactly to our specifications, and making sure they were safe and happy. He also treated our home with great care, responsibly using our security system and even cleaning up after the bunnies. Garrison was friendly, punctual, and kept us updated with adorable pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our bunnies were in such capable, caring hands. A truly wonderful sitter—highly recommend!
