About: I’ve grown up around all types of animals, with dogs and cats having a special place in my heart. In my care, your pet will be treated like family! My extended experience includes caring for senior dogs & cats and dogs & cats with special/ medical needs. My Husky, Prince, is now 11-years-old and has been on prescribed seizure medication (potassium bromide liquid suspension) that I administer to him daily for nearly 5 years now. I can certainly administer all forms of oral medications, such as capsules, pills, and liquids, if your pet is on any prescribed meds or vitamins that must be taken under my scheduled care and supervision! IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Most weekdays, typically Mon., Wed., Thur., & Fri., my two-year-old daughter will be accompanying me on the walks and drop-ins. She absolutely adores animals and is extremely friendly and gentle with every animal she comes in contact with. Please know that every precaution will certainly be taken to ensure everyone’s safe and happy! Please let me know upfront if this is a concern for you. Thank you for considering me to take on the rewarding (and fun) responsibility to hangout with your adorable furry family members!! :) I work from home 100%, as the company I work for is based solely online and pretty flexible! IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Most weekdays, typically Mon., Wed., Thur., & Fri., my two-year-old daughter will be accompanying me on the walks and drop-ins. She absolutely adores animals and is extremely friendly and gentle with every animal she comes in contact with. Please know that every precaution will certainly be taken to ensure everyone’s safe and happy! Please let me know upfront if this is a concern for you. Before my beloved Husky, Prince, passed away in 2024, we walked several times a day. Especially as he became older, he needed to go out more often. I grew up with animals all my life - pets were always in my home whether they were my families, pets of extended family member’s, or of friends. I have cared for pretty much all of the animals in my family! When someone goes on vacation or needs someone to watch their cat or dog for a day or so, I’m always their first call and I love it (and they know it lol) :D With me, you can trust that your home will be carefully looked after, and your furry family members will always be given lots of love and snuggles, if they let me hehe :) I will follow your house rules and pet care instructions to the T, with no step left out! Aside from any specific or special instructions for caring for your pet, I will always make sure your litter box(es) and any possible pee or poop accidents are cleaned!!

Taylor was great with our cats and left detailed notes that helped put us at ease while we were gone. It was clear they took a liking to her and she took the time to play with them. I would not hesitate to book her again!

She is a lovely person and loves taking care of my dog. She would play fetch with him, walk him and take him to the park. I always get photos and videos of my dog running around the park and sleeping peacefully in her home

Victoria is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to pet sitting! She has watched my two dogs multiple times, both for overnight stays and drop-in walks, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She took the time to understand my dogs' personalities, routines, and special needs, ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Not only does she provide plenty of love and attention, but she also keeps me updated with pictures and messages, which gives me peace of mind when I’m away. Whether it’s a long overnight stay or just a quick drop-in walk, she is always reliable, professional, and attentive. My dogs absolutely adore her, and it’s clear she treats them like her own. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She goes above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!

About: Have had multiple dogs in my family throughout the years and have owned a dog myself for 3 years as well on my own. Loving and caring for them was absolutely the highlight of my day and I will make sure to treat your furry friend with the exact same I showed mine while you’re away! I do work a full time job in the elevator industry but, will be available on weekdays after 4:30 PM and will be available on weekends literally anytime you may need me. Just give me a shout and something can certainly be worked out! At the moment, I do not have the capability of bringing your pets home with me but can sit in your home! I can follow whatever the schedule is that you will need and can follow it to a tee while you’re away! I promise to keep your friend/s safe, happy and very content!

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Odris took amazing care of my dogs while I was away. She followed all my instructions, provided updates with pictures, and went above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy and comfortable. It was clear she genuinely love animals and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to relaxed, well-cared-for pets. I highly recommend Odris to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter!”

Renier has a natural gift with dogs that is just simply wonderful to see. His empathy and understanding create a bond of trust and happiness with every dog he meets. He knows just how to make them feel safe and loved, and his genuine joy in their company is infectious. Dogs just seem to know they’re in great hands with Renier around. My Heidi loves when Renier comes for a visit!

About: Hey there! Let me tell you a bit about myself. I absolutely love anything outdoors and fitness is a huge part of my life. But you know what else I'm passionate about? Animals! I've had the pleasure of owning and taking care of a variety of pets throughout my life, from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles. With my experience in pet care, I understand the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for your furry friends. I'm confident in my ability to keep them happy, healthy, and well-attended to while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or even giving them a bath, I'm dedicated to meeting all of their needs. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I'm really excited about the opportunity to meet your beloved pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I make sure to prioritize pet care in my daily routine. I set aside time each day to feed, walk, and play with my own pets, and I make sure to schedule pet sitting visits around my other commitments. I offer walks, medication administration, bathing and grooming, also pet training for all types of pets. I'm attentive and ensure they get plenty of outdoor fun, along with teaching them good manners and skills.
