Bailey is amazing!! She cared for our doggies and cat like we would and they love her. She also looked after our home which was an added bonus and so appreciated!

Kayla was an excellent companion for my two cats while I was away. She followed my instructions and went above a beyond by making sure to keep me posted with photos of their wellbeing. She made sure they accepted her as a friend and and didn’t just feed them and leave.

About: I grew up with cats, from kittens to seniors. My chores growing up involved feeding them, grooming, cleaning up after them. My aunt and uncle had dogs I would help with growing up, and they were always active and high maintenance. In middle school, I dog sat for my neighbors and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have experience in training and handling both cats and dogs, and love a challenge! I am a full time student, but my days are very flexible. I have near full availability Thursday-Sunday and I am willing to work with you to find time for your pets! I am very respectful and willing to work with your rules and times. I am very familiar with following rules and making sure I am following every instruction to a T!

Eve was amazing! I always stress about leaving my pups but I was completely at peace knowing they were with Eve. She gave great updates and pictures during our 5 days away! She definitely treated them like they were her own, can’t recommend her enough!

Jessica was amazing! She stayed in our house and dog sat and kitty sat for 5 days and 4 nights. My dogs loved her and I didn't worry about them at all. She is very trustworthy and left the house neat and clean. I will definitely be asking her to come back!

About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and I'm an animal lover in general. I have a Great Dane, bunny, turtle, and some fish currently. I have owned cats in the past though just not currently. I can handle big and little dogs even if they aren't the best trained then I'm the person for you. I have a lot of patience with animals. I can handle cats too I get they can have a variety of personalities. Whether they're friendly or not I'll care for them as you need. I will also take care of any other pet in your household if you need I'm not afraid of any animals. Due to college I'm not available during certain times Monday through Thursday but other than that I have a pretty flexible schedule. I don't have any kind of full time or part time job but I am looking currently. I just do dog walking/sitting right now. As of 01/10/2026, I have no current clients anymore since I just moved an hour from where I used to live. I can only dogsit in your home, I live in an apartment. At your home I'll be here the entire time I won't leave the house if you're pet is with me. I'll play with your cat or dog and give them the attention they need. I'll feed and water them at your scheduled times needed. I'll walk them and take them out when needed. Whatever the pet needs I'm here for.
