6. Casey C.
About: My family and I always owned/cared for pets while I was growing up. I personally raised my 10 year old half whippet/half pitbull from a puppy. I’ve always been happy to help out friends, family members, neighbors and roommates with pet care. I have professional experience at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I’ve always had a passion for animals and stand firmly on animal rights. I want to provide a safe/trustworthy place for your pet. SKILLS: familiar dogs who have separation anxiety, oral medication, picky eaters, potty training, knowledge of dog behaviors & familiar with different breeds of dogs I enjoy caring for furry friends during my time off from my weekend restaurant job. I have a very flexible schedule. The only time I'm busy is Saturday and Sunday from 11am-4pm. Currently I have an indoor cat named Henry. As of now I am offering dog walking, home check ins and pet sitting/over night in the pet owners home. I consider myself very respectful and trust worthy as I have lots of experience with nannying in guests homes.

She's attentive, responsible, and always goes the extra mile to make sure our pup feels loved and safe. Whether it's a quick walk or an overnight stay, we always feel at ease knowing our dog is in such caring hands. Tiffani sends regular updates with photos, which is such a comfort when we're away.

“Elisa was great! She is an amazing communicator, and in advance of the visit asked all the right questions which made us feel comfortable that our dog Driggs was in good hands.

We have already booked Elisa for a longer house sitting stay given our great experience so far. Highly recommend!”


17. Brandy G.
“Brandy has been a trusted friend for the past 10 years, and I can't recommend her highly enough when it comes to caring for pets. Her genuine love for animals shines through in the attentive and compassionate care she provides. She has often looked after my two dachshunds while I’m away on business, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. I always have peace of mind knowing they’re in Brandy’s capable hands. Her dedication, patience, and natural connection with dogs make her an exceptional caregiver.”


18. Monica C.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am our friend and neighborhood walker/sitter. I am used to big dogs and small dogs alike. I love to take them on long walks and let them lay in the sunshine in my fenced in yard. I work from home and make my own schedule so there is plenty of time for walks, attention and anything special that they may need. I have a fenced in outdoor space (2 of them), furniture are treated for animals/kids so they are welcome to enjoy themselves anywhere they would like. (Unless the owner does not allow them to be on furniture, in which I will also abide)
