As we all know, our pets are our babies. My dog, Leia, is very skittish, and can be tricky to walk. She needs whoever walks her to pay close attention to her because one loud sound can scare her and cause her to bolt. Leia is also a bit of a couch potato and will refuse to walk at times. Jaymee makes sure to give her the attention and patience she requires. She LOVES to play with her and makes sure shes very active, which I highly appreciate! You can tell that Jaymee truly loves animals and respects their owner.

Showed my puppy love, sent pictures without asking! I'm so happy my puppy was taken care of when we were away. Amazing that you helped with climate control for our puppy during this changing season as well. So much appreciated that he's home and safe.

I have known Emily for over 20 years now and I can confirm that she is instinctually loving to animals. It comes naturally for her. She never turns down the opportunity to help someone out with tasks, caring after other people’s pets as if they’re her own. I wouldn’t trust just anyone with my pets, but I would trust Emily.

Kushtrim would dog sit for us when we would go on a vacations. We have 4 terriers so they are a handful. We never had a single problem while we were gone. Kushtrim is great with dogs!

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.

About: I’ve had pets all my life not only limited to cats and dogs, but also skunks, raccoons, owls, etc! I was raised to love animals and at this time only have 2 cats in home. I’d love to host some pups too! I work full time at Mary Morgan so have time on the weekends, days off, after school hours (3:30 pm) or during winter, spring, summer breaks. We live in a two floor condo with room for a crate if needed. Next door is an open lot with a field, perfect for playing and walking.

About: I've had/taken care of dogs since I was 10. I have one of my own currently (a pitty named blu 🩵) and she's spoiled with love. I work from home on a flexible schedule so I am able to work with you on the times you need. There are some days I won't be able to do nights, depending on my son's schedule, but those are rare. Unfortunately I am not looking to bring dogs into my home, but I can travel to yours! I've used dog sitters and babysitters myself, so I understand the necessity of respecting someone's home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats as well as many other animals from rodents to horses my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for your house pets, and whatever pet large or small, will be cared for like my own. I have training and rehabilitation experience as well as many years of house and pet sitting experience. I work self employed jobs and I’m able to accommodate my schedule to work around you and your pets needs when the time comes. So I’m able to give them plenty of care and multiple visits throughout the day usually. I care for them as closely to their routine and schedule as I can to help them comfortably adjust while you’re away! I will do my best to keep things as close to how they are so your pets can feel comfortable with someone new coming in and shaking up their routine or schedule.

Jessica was amazing! My cats behaved and warmed up to her quickly, and I got great pictures from each visit. Communication was easy and responsive, and the only issue I had was on my side in terms of adding a code to the door for her. 5 stars, will definitely be my first choice next time! :)

About: I have two pugs now. I had a German Shepherd but recently she passed away. I have had hamsters, ferrets, guinea pigs, frogs, and rabbits growing up. I went to school to become a Veterinary Technician, I know what signs to look for if something does go wrong with your pet while your away. I have worked in a veterinary hospital and a boarding pet place. Your pet will be in safe hands, I will treat your pet like they are my own. Would love to watch your pet while your away just for the day or on vacation, take your pet for a walk or just let your pet out for potty breaks and play with them. I’m very flexible on my schedule day or night. I have plenty of time during the day and night to take care of your pets while your away. I’m free all during the day and can go at night to let them out. I have two pugs. The one pug, I have had since he was a puppy and now he is 16. He is blind and can’t hear, we have to carry him out to go potty and carry him back in. He likes to sleep on the couch so we have to lift him up to put him up there. My other pug is 2 years old. They both sleep with us in bed at night.

Bella would be an amazing sitter for your pets because she worked in the pet industry multiple times different places and for a couple years. She loves all dogs and cats, she treats them as if they were human too. She will always give her 100 percent while working and will give them the attention they want and need as well. Bella is one of the most responsible most respected people I know so she’ll do a great job !
