4. Julia D.
“I have known Julia for a while from a professional standpoint where she has always been respectful and caring of other. The same treatment is also brought over to the pet caring world. She has shared her fun experiences with the dogs she cares for and it appears that the pooches are having lots of fun as she takes them for long walks and provides plenty of loving attention to them. Some dogs have made a mess of themselves a few times while out in the fields, but she cleans them up to ensure they are in tip top shape.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, both big and small, occasionally over the last few years, mainly overnight and weeklong. I also aided in potty training my boyfriend’s puppy in the winter. I’m currently unemployed but looking for a part time job. I am a full time student but my classes are completely online. I currently have plenty of free time and my schooling makes it very easy if you are looking for an overnight sitter. Unfortunately I cannot have anymore pets at my home but I would love to care for your pet at your home. Depending on your preferences and needs, I can do just about anything, including going on walks, giving medications, and other general care.

13. Myranda G.
About: I have taken care of dogs and children since I was 10 years old. I’ve babysat, dog walked, and bathed dogs of all sizes, and have always owned my own dogs since I was 4 years old. The dogs I owned and cared for ranged from as small as a Tea cup Yorkie all the way to greyhounds and Rottweilers. I am currently working full time, but I work from home. Working from home allows me plenty of time to care and look after your fur babies, and be able to keep an eye on them during the day and send you updates. I am free to sit any day of the week. My house is a great home away from home for your pup. I have a half acre of fenced off yard with plenty of room for your dog to get great exercise and lots of room to do their business. I also have two labs of my own that are great with other dogs big or small and will make great companions while you are away. My mom also works from home permanently and will be assisting in caring for the dogs and showing them extra love and attention. We have plenty of space in the house if you have your dogs crate trained, but if not they can make themselves at home wherever they are comfortable.

18. Lindsay N.
About: I have cared for all types of domesticated pets professionally since July 2018. I love what I do and never work a day in my life. The best part is assisting the owner by giving them peace of mind that their pet is well cared for and safe while having fun while they're away. My life revolves around the pets: pets I care for and my own four fur loves. I occasionally step out for an event or appointment, or to check on another pet. I never leave the pets alone for more than the allotted and appropriate time. I rotate the person by family pets, unless I have regulars who I absolutely know get along. Your pet will have a few hours out to roam the house and yard. Then I will put them in a decent sized room to rest, drink water, play with their toys, eat, etc. I then rotate the pets all day within the time I am awake. I feed and potty them on the same schedule as at home. They will get tons of attention and human interaction. I don't kennel unless owner would like.
19. Maria F.
“If you wanted someone that you can be UNDOUBTABLY sure you can leave your pets to, it’s Maria. I’ve known her for years and I’ve seen her first hand with not just her own pets, but the pets of others. She treats them like they were hers, and is always present for the animals. Look no further than her.”
