1. Abbey W.
“Abbey housesat for my two dogs while our family went on a cruise. I was nervous because this was the first time anyone has cared for our pets outside of family. Leo & Laney took to her right away. She made two visits to the home before staying for the week, I appreciated this, so she could get to know the dogs before hand. We touched base while we were away and she sent pictures and provided updates. She communicated well with whatever was going on. I feel very comfortable having Abbey sit with my dogs and would definitely have her stay again. Most importantly our dogs are like family and they were very happy while we were away.”

7. Zoe B.
“Zoe is great with my 2 dogs (Shih Tzu and Belgian Malinois). She makes sure my 2 yr old Malinois gets plenty of exercise, taking him for long walks and throwing the ball for what seems like hours. He is a very strong puppy and she is able to control him very well during walks. At the same she manages to give my very lazy Shih Tzu tons of love and attention.”

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was a kid and grew up aspiring to be a vet. I’ve had a lot of experience with hyper puppies, big dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and many more. I’ve done volunteer work at petting farms, raised rescues, and cared for animals ranging from pigs to Guinea pigs. I currently love and care for my own farm animals + my two cats. I regularly sit for neighbors and friends and am now looking for more opportunities with this app! I don’t have a full time job so i’m devoting all my time to this and can be very flexible if needed. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! My time is devoted to your pets and their needs. I am available for caregiving weekdays and weekends between 11am-10pm. Can be flexible if needed! Your pet will be cared for and watched attentively with every instruction followed with careful observance. If needed I can also easily crate and handle strong dogs.

13. Desirae B.
About: Ever since I’ve was little I’ve always was involved with animals in some kind of way and once I turned 14 I start training dogs and just being more involved with every animal. My plan is to be a veterinarian one day but until then I plan on taking care of and interacting with so many animals until then ( i do not currently own any pets) Well I work for my self so I’m home majority of the day anyways so taking a walk, or going to a sitting will never be a problem since my schedule is 100% free I have beds, toys and different types of food set up for any boarding that I might have and I also have a huge fenced in back yard for play time and even on rainy days I have a pet play area set up in my garage(it’s attached to my home and heated) to play in on rainy days I have a fenced in yard so that they can play outside as much as they want, I’m even setting/building my back yard more just to accommodate dogs with certain special needs that can’t do certain things. I also listen to pet parent needs and will help with Leash training/basic commands even going to potty throughout their stay

15. Abby L.
About: With over 10 years of experience in caring for animals, I have found a deep appreciation and love for caring for our most vulnerable. Throughout my childhood and adulthood, I have owned and cared for many different types of animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and reptiles. I would like to believe I have a deep understanding in animal behaviors and find that trust is the most important aspect of caring for them. I have worked with puppies and senior dogs and I am strict on maintaining a schedule for the animals that are under my care. I pride myself of my strong communication skills with pet owners which allows me to provide regular updates and address any concerns promptly. I prioritize the individual needs of each animal, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while their owners are away. I would love to provide safety and love to your best friend while you are away! I am currently a stay at home mom to a one-year-old little boy. I have no other obligations so if your animal is in my care, they will be under supervision at all times. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. Here’s how I approach pet care: Environment Preparation: I ensure the space is safe and pet-friendly by removing hazards, securing trash, and setting up a cozy area with their bed, toys, and essentials. Routine Establishment: I maintain the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and playtime, to provide stability and reduce anxiety. Personalized Attention: I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and preferences, offering tailored activities and companionship that suit their needs. Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on their health and behavior, noting any changes that may require attention. Regular check-ins with the pet's owner help ensure they are updated on their pet's condition. Exercise and Play: I engage pets in physical activities and playtime, utilizing toys and games to keep them active and mentally stimulated. Grooming and Hygiene: I manage grooming needs, such as brushing, bathing, and nail trimming, to keep pets clean and comfortable. Communication: I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates through texts or photos to reassure them about their pet’s well-being. Emergency Preparedness: I am familiar with local veterinarians and emergency clinics, ensuring I know what to do in case of any health issues. By combining these practices, I create a nurturing environment where pets feel secure and loved, whether in my home or theirs.
