About: I’ve had animals my entire life. From cats, dogs, hamsters and all the way to horses! I’d love to take care of your dog in my home where they will have lots of fun. Receive lots of treats and be loved as if they were my own. I have a Corgi named mocha who might as be my child who is super friendly and loves to play. The dogs will be taken care of and walked 3-4 times during the day and twice in the morning and twice at night. You will have nothing to worry about. Everyone loves a good schedule! I do live in an apartment but during the dog your dog will be baby gated into the bathroom with plenty of room to run around and enjoy themselves while I am at work. We also have a dog park that we will frequent and love to go on plenty of walks. As long as I am home your dog will not be put up in a crate or kennel because my dog won’t be
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 12 from dogs to cats and farm animals! I grew up with my own dogs, cats and horses along with chickens. Family and friends always relied on me to pet sit for them whenever it was needed because they knew they would be cared for just like my own! I treat them with as much love and care as if they were my own. I have lots of patience and skill with all ages of animals. I can walk, bathe, feed and play with your animals however they may need it. I currently work full time but get off around 4-5 pm daily and have most weekends off. I don’t mind stopping in to walk them in the afternoons or stay over night with them. I have 5 acres all fenced in and allow my dogs plenty of outdoor time but also willing to keep yours separated from mine if need be! My dogs are super friendly and love meeting a fellow friend.
“Taylor took amazing care of our sweet Meadow while we went on vacation! She even brought her out of her shell and had her playing in her playroom. 5 stars isn’t enough for Taylor. She is sweet, trustworthy to leave your home & pet(s) with, and so caring. Thank you Taylor!”

About: I was raised around cats and dogs and have been taking care of them all my life, but professionally for 2 years. I treat them and their homes as my own. I try to keep my schedule open as possible for potential clients. I know that much time and attention is needed to care effectively for your loved ones. I don’t take the trust required to let someone in your home and care for your pets lightly. It’s my ultimate goal to make them feel comfortable and attended to. Leaving detailed instructions is helpful but not required if it’s pretty straightforward.
“I booked Elicia for house sitting, she was very nice and as far as I can tell did a great job taking care of my animals and house while we were gone! My only critique is that I wish I would’ve received some pictures over the weekend, but I know she did fine with the pups and my cat☺️”

About: I’ve always loved helping take care of animals! I have dogs of my own and I help my family and friends with their animals as well! I have mostly helped with dogs but I have helped take care of a few cats as well for my friends! Anywhere from staying with them, walking them, or just spending time with them! I will be sure to love your fur babies like I do my own! So I currently work full time at the hospital on night shift! My schedule is always different so it will make it harder to stay nights! But I can easily fit in walking, letting them out, feeding them, and loving on them! If your dogs were to stay with me I do have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs to keep them company and play with! I could crate them if needed as I do crate my own dogs when I am not home! Me and my cousin so let our dogs sleep in the beds with us and we do let them on the furniture! We also have multiple toys that they can play with as well!
About: I'm super flexible and can tailor my approach to fit exactly what your pet needs! Plus, I'm all about making sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and has a blast while you're away. I make pet care a priority by structuring my day around their needs. Walks, playtime, and feeding times are all carefully planned to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. It's like having a furry, fun-sized boss who dictates my schedule! Safety first! Whether it's my place or yours, I make sure the environment is free of hazards. Trust is built through consistent, loving care, and I always respect your home and rules. Basically, I treat every pet like they're my own and every home like it's my grandma's – with lots of love and respect!

“TRUST ME, look no further!!!!!!!!! Sonja looked after my very clingy, high maintenance Beagle named Gabby, for a few days when I had to go out of town for work VERY last minute. She was able to accommodate my situation very efficiently and was MORE than happy to do so. I frantically woke up on a Saturday morning early needing to go out of town for a work trip. I oversee an entire state prison as active Warden and had an emergency situation on the other side of the state. I inquired about booking asap, Sonja responded back within 30 minutes, coordinated a quick meet and greet around lunch time at Freedom Park THAT SAME DAY, and then she was taking care of my baby and entire property by dinner time!! I could not have asked for a better situation/outcome of this very unexpected event. When I met her, I could tell she really was a a true dog lover. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Gabby was in such loving hands. Sonja sent more than enough pictures and videos and kept in communication more than I could have hoped. Any dog parents know you can never have too many dog pics/videos!! When I arrived home, Gabby was relaxed, happy, and clearly well looked after. The house and property were exactly like I left it, if not better. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Gabby! She will definitely be my go to sitter in the future AND she responded quickly which is important for me with my crazy work schedule. Pet parents like myself know how unsettling and nerve racking it can be to leave your baby with a complete stranger for the first time. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need someone last minute, great communication, and very dependable and so so trustworthy - LOOK!! NO!! FURTHER!!”

“I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.”

“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”

“Dave responded quickly and was flexible in helping us with a last minute request. I had already booked him for a visit 2 weeks from now and feel very comfortable leaving my pups and home in his hands.”

About: I have owned and been around animals of all kinds since I was 5 years old. I spent almost all my time with them and did a lot of training with them. I fostered dogs for animal control as well, in order to get them ready for adoption. I am currently working at home so I can be with your baby all day! On Saturday I take a quick trip to the store for about 1 hour at the most. I have a yard and there are plenty of places to go walking as well. I do not have a fence but am fine with walking them a little more each day if needed. There is a lake of they want a swim and kids if they want some extra love.
