Katrina was wonderful! She responded quickly and was so kind during our meet-and-greet. Bucky felt immediately comfortable with her and even went right up to her for pets. She asked great questions, paid attention to every detail, and followed all instructions perfectly. Highly recommend!

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had my own dog (inside dog, outside dog, sometimes both). I have entered and won obedience and showmanship shows with my dogs. I trained two of my dogs in 4-H for over 5 years. Growing up with pets has allowed me to develop a strong love for all kinds of animals. When caring for others’ animals, I always keep in mind how I would want my own animal to be treated. I am currently working on my teaching certificate which is completely online! This allows me to make my own schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings! I live in an apartment. I am open to cat/dog sitting depending on the breed. I live in a very walkable area where I can take the animals outside when needed.

I was out of town and just landed in a different time zone when I receive a text from the person I had lined up to watch my dog canceled for health reasons. I threw out some Hail Mary's and Jaime came thru for us! The next day he checked in and asked if Cí Du was good. I really appreciate that! He was very flexible. Especially when the app had issues with time zone differences (VPNs effect it as well). I made the executive decision to overbook him, just incase anything else came up. Better for The Du to have too much attention than none at all, emirate? Jaime was a life saver! Definitely a go-to in the future!

About: Hi I’m Kelsey! I’d love to help you with your pet(s)! I’ve been pet sitting for years and have client testimonials I’d be happy to provide you with. Your pet will be in good hands! I will go above and beyond to truly spend time entertaining your pet and brightening their day while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including reactive dogs. I absolutely love spending time with animals and will truly treat your pet like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a boxer who is the absolute light of my life. I love him so much and spoil him rotten. I’ll treat your pet the same! Something you should know about me…When I walk into a house or business with a pet present that’s the first thing I’m paying attention to regardless of why I’m there. I work from home and love going on walks every day. I’d love to take your dog(s) with me on my next walk! Or if you need someone to stop by mid-day because you’re stuck in the office and just want someone to spend some time with your pet I can do that too. I’ll bring my computer with me! Did you think I forgot about cats? Never! I’d love to check in on your cat for you while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to visit your pet soon! I work remotely full time. I’m available most of the day for drop in visits and walks! I can come over in the morning for early morning walks before it gets too hot. I can come over mid-day for a lunch break walk or drop in visit. I can come in the evenings if you have somewhere to be after work and need peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of. I will take extra care of your pets in your home. I’ll ensure they have everything they need and extra attention while you’re away. I love a good couch cuddle moment with your pet, walks of any distance or length, and am happy to interact with them using whatever toys or things they may have to use or play with. Mental stimulation is very important for pets, especially while you’re away to help their minds and bodies relax. I can use puzzle games, slow feeders, lick mats, or any other things you have for your pet to give them mental stimulation. I take great pride in leaving a place better than I found it and I’ll be respectful of you, your pet, and your home while I’m visiting.

Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!

About: I have been a loving pet owner my whole life. When I moved for college, I adopted a cat - Jessica - who is everything to me. My neighbors, friends, and family trust me to take care of their pets like they’re my own. I take online classes, so I have lots of time to care for your fur babies. I can be there early and stay late - whatever is best for you and your pet. I will take special care to ensure all doors are locked upon my exit, animals have water and other accommodations (as described by their owner), and they have used the restroom each visit.

About: I have had a pug for 11 years. She is awesome. I also have cared and walkrd a large Rhodesian Ridgback for 3 years. She was high energy so we often went on runs. I am an early riser and often go on walks or runs already. My pug is currently at home in florida while I am in college. I miss my dog and I really want to be around dogs and other animals. I have a fenced in yard and leash walk my little tot. We also have a lot of land behind us so I will run outside with the pug often.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I understand that every dog is different, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, drop-ins, play sessions, and quality care for your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may feel nervous in new environments or around new people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible during our time together. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I make sure pets are always supervised. I’m attentive to behavior and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of different breeds ranging from Great Danes to Yorkies. My family had Rottweilers when I was growing up so I have hands on experience training, owning, and most importantly loving dogs. I work from home most days and have flexible hours so my schedule revolves around your dog. After all, it’s a dog's world and we’re just living in it! I offer personalized care based on the unique needs and interests of your dog. When you leave your dog with me you’ll leave with peace of mind so you can enjoy your vacation as much as your pup will enjoy theirs!

About: Since I was a child I have taken care of 2-3 dogs in one home and multiple cats with my family. All different types of dogs, fostering and rescuing animals when we could. Love to maintain healthy and clean animals so that they can live their best lives and feel loved! I am currently a fire fighter and looking for a side job. I am off for few days out of the week and want to be active and be around animals. I am currently taking care of my cats indoor to protect them from this heat. Often getting fresh water and have family dogs that like to go outside but stay cool so I often have little dog pools set up! I am okay with taking them outside or keeping them inside for some safe fun!

About: I am an independent contractor and work flexible hours M-F. I’ve cared for dozens of pets and enjoy treating each fur baby like it’s my own. I’m fully comfortable with both dogs and cats of any age and size. I hope to meet you and your pet sometime soon! I work M-F and only till 12:30 pm on Fridays. My weekends are typically open/flexible. So I’ll have plenty of time to help care for your pet! The dogs I usually care for stay in a gated area until walk times, at which time I take them out to relieve themselves/play for 30 minutes or so a few times during the day. However, I'm happy to follow any special instructions regarding your pet.

Christian is the best! Our dogs are always happy to see her and we’re so happy knowing she’ll be there to walk them!! We appreciate Christian so much for being so great that we don’t have to worry at all! Radio can be very active with chasing lizards and dig/catch them if unattended or blinking too long. Christian is on it! Also, Freddie’s bladder is a special case and he’s not had any issue! I truly believe it’s because Christian listened to how his bladder needs micromanaged with only a small amount of water before being crated again. She’s a keeper!!

It only took a couple of minutes at the start of the pre-engagement meeting and for it to become clear to me that Zach is an excellent experienced dog handler. My own experience with dogs includes training Australian Shepherds for sheep herding competitions and I have qualified for national competition twice. My yardstick for rating a dog handler has a correspondingly higher bar. So along with my complement was that quick understanding that I didn’t need to know anything else and that my dog was is as safe hands as she could be in. People simply don’t reach Zach’s level of engaging with dogs without also demonstrating to the dog that the dog is in anything other than very safe hands and that doesn’t happen if it’s not actually true. So with my and the dog’s approval, Zach was hired and lived up to both mine and the dog’s expectations. No problem.
