About: I've fostered all kinds of dogs since high school - from senior couch potatoes, to high-drive working breeds, to shy puppies. I raised my German shorthair Togo since he was nine weeks old, and I also help take care of my partner's 10-year-old dog who takes daily medication. I love getting to know a dog's unique needs and personality. I work from home part-time as a translator and writer, so I have a lot of flexibility to tailor my schedule to your dog's needs. My daily schedule involves doing enrichment and exercise activities with my own dog throughout the day (sniffaris, training sessions, running, games, etc.), and I'd plan on doing the same with your dog too. I have a fenced-in yard and a very playful (but kind and respectful) host dog who would love to give your dog company. I might go out for up to two hours at a time to run errands or work from a coffee shop, but otherwise I'll be around.

Rob was amazing, very punctual and very good with my cats. He did great with administering a pill to my kitty, twice a day. Highly recommend, and would want him to take care of my fur babies if I had to be out of town again.

About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life, from kittens to seniors, and since I was 12 I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs as well. I’ve given both cats and dogs medication as well as bottle fed them if they were too young for solid food. I have an incredibly flexible hybrid work schedule! Whatever you or your pets needs, I will be able to meet them without any work conflicts. You know your pet better than anyone. Whatever instructions you give me to keep them safe, happy, and healthy, I promise to follow exactly. I love animals and my schedule is very flexible, so whenever your needs are, I will do my absolute best to meet them!

Daniel was great with my dog Pepper. He did a meet and greet with her prior to my trip to ensure they started out as fast friends. Pepper enjoyed her time with Daniel as easily scene in the many photos he provided. I had no concerns with him dropping in on Pepper my home and I appreciated his short-notice availability and flexibility. I hope to use Daniel again very soon.

About: I'm that friend who tells you "don't scold him, teach him with love and rewards what you want from him" how do I know it works? Because from my adolescence I began to be interested in my furry friends, I have done some research that has contributed a lot to me to relate to them in a better way. I hope to generate an extraordinary relationship with your furry friends. I am currently available from Friday (8:30am approx) to Sunday (11:30pm Max). If you have something to do on a weekend and you don't know who to entrust your furry to, ¡I'm here! There is a patio near the house, where we can play and live with other furry friends. Likewise, I will look for patches near your house to play.

Andy has watched our cats a few times - they're always happy when we get home, and we can tell they are happy to see Andy when she comes to take care of them. We have some very specific health and food needs and she does a great job managing this while we are away, which means a ton to us. Thank you Andy!

Jackson is a lifesaver with our dogs! We have a 10 mo. aus-shepherd mix with aggression and fear issues (wont allow strangers to come near us, or into the house or backyard). After a few visits with Jackson our dog is now so happy to see him each time! Jackson is one of the very few people our dog allows into our home, as well as to hang out and play with him and leash him for walks (if anyone has dealt with an aggressive dog they know the struggles, so to find someone we can count on for our pup is priceless). I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackson!

Trinity was a caring & attentive pet sitter to my two cute but somewhat high maintenance kitties. I especially appreciated her frequent communication & attention to all the pet care details as well as the various rules/ & regulations in my apt. building. I am definitely hiring her again for pet care & recommend that you do too!!
