Ellie was awesome! My cats are usually very slow to warm up but seemed like they trusted and liked her so fast. Very responsive and on top of things!

About: Hi there. My name is Mercedes and I am looking forward to meeting you and your dog. If you’re looking for an experienced, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve always adored dogs--they understand you, they provide companionship, and they make your house a home. After 15 wonderful years, I recently lost my dog Lala She was an incredibly well behaved sheltie, and I miss her dearly. I don’t yet have another dog of my own, and I wanted to help others in my community by offering pet sitting services. I’m home full-time, and I have lots of space for furry guests. I pride myself on my customer service skills, and as a former pet parent, I know how hard it is for you to leave your family member behind. When your dog is in my care they will get tons of attention, love, and as much playtime as they need. I have a lot of energy, so your pet will be kept pretty busy! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can’t wait to hear from you.

About: Hello! I have been a dog owner since I was a little kid, and most recently was a pet parent to my spouse’s dog, Tucker! He was such a sweetie, but very reactive and high needs. He taught me so much about being responsible for a reactive dog, and with him I attended several training courses and also learned how to administer medications! I love dogs and all animals, and it is important to me to treat them with kindness and respect. I promise to treat your babies the same 😊 I am currently studying for an exam and not working, so pet care would get me out of the house! I am looking for a side hustle and there is the added bonus of spending time with animals 🥰 I have extensive experience caring for dogs, and will pay close attention to the details and instructions left by clients. I also love to take cute pictures of the fur babies and make sure they’re feeling cared for until parents come back for the day!

Andrea did a great job with our two chihuahua mixes! She understands their needs and they felt comfortable with her right away. She was also great at communicating and keeping us up to date.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs growing up. As I got older I was able to appreciate what being a pet carer means and taking more responsibility. It’s been a year helping take care of Rocky and I can confidently say I’ve learned what it means to put your pet first. I am a graduate student on summer break looking to take on more responsibility while classes are off. As someone who has walked, fed, and cared for my own dog before and after classes, work, meetings, and other events I am excited to do it with more free time. I have an open availability and ready to care for your pet at a moments notice! I want to make sure you and your pet feel safe! I make sure to give my own pet lots of love and attention when I’m with them and whatever that looks like for you, that’s what I aim to give.

Riley took excellent care of our 2 dogs, 1 cat, a hedgehog and a turtle! She is a saint with my Rottweiler too! Most people we have tried to have come over are hesitant and nervous and the dog can sense that and be aggressive. She had no issues with Riley. I loved reading her detailed notes about each visit. She spent plenty of time at the house and showed love and care to all our animals. It gave us such peace of mind while we were traveling. We will definitely be using her again!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life whether they’re mine or friends. I have a 80lb doberman/pitt mix making me very comfortable with large dogs, and a 10lb tabby cat making me comfortable with your tiny friends too! I work part time, and on days I do work I have a 2 hour lunch break. This allows me to be available for your furry friends whenever you need! I have experience walking dogs who are not fully leash trained and those that are reactive. I know the area well and am confident I can keep your furry friends safe and entertained!

About: I have been taking care of pets for almost 6 years professionally and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I worked in a boarding facility making sure every dog and cat received the proper food and medication. I can check in on pets any day of the week at anytime needed. For pets that have hourly or specific times needed for care, I can be there to help them out! I always want to put pet comfort first. I respect the pet's space and I can recognize body language to know when to back off and keep them comfortable.

Gabriella is just wonderful. She’s absolutely professional in every way, but is also very warm, flexible and funny. She took great care of my two cats while I was away and was able to add a visit when my travel plans changed. Thank you Gabriella. I hope you will be able to help me out again in the future with Buttercup and Bailey.

About: I always lead with patience and care. Animals are clear communicators and we just need to listen. I am medically trained (for humans primarily), but I know those skills and knowledge are highly transferable. I work primarily in a hospital. Even though my schedule is consistently changing, I have multiple days off during the week. This allows me to visit anytime throughout the days im off and leaves a lot of flexibility. Respect is key. Whether its for the pet or the home, I believe all things should be approached respectfully and mindfully. I am happy to follow whatever house rules or pet routines you may have.
