Paul allows me great peace of mind when I need help with Pookie and Belvedere. I appreciate the attention and kindness he gives my puppers. I will definitely book again.

AMAZING!!! Tracy watched our fur babies while we were off getting married. INCREDIBLY professional. I gave her the number to my personal attendant; even though I got updates through the app Tracy updated the attendant so as so not bother us on our special day. I would recommend her to anyone & hope to use her again! 2 paws up

About: I grew up with animals and as an adult i have had cats and dogs my whole life. I have also enjoyed caring for friends and family pets when needed. I have volunteered at the ARL and received some training. I have an open schedule with lots of flexibility that allows for plenty of time to take care of or hang out with my furrbabies. I prefer to keep dogs leashed when a fence is not available. My cat stays indoors. I treat my pets as my children. For outdoor cats, it depends on the owner. I have seen GPS used to keep track of their location outside.

Roswell was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She took great care of our puppies while we were out which gave us peace of mind. We will absolutely trust her to care for our fur babies again.

Angie did a great job taking care of my two kitties they were both relaxed, healthy, and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her... she spent a good amount of time each visit not only feeding and cleaning up but also holding and petting them. I am booking her again for my next trip this coming February.

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I would look after friends, families, and neighbors pets while they are away. Everyone in my life knows I am a very trusted person. I am currently a student at Aveda Institute Tuesday-Friday, and I babysit on Mondays. Pet sitting is a perfect fit for me on the weekends. I am able to work with any pet and cater to their needs whether they are a very energetic dog or a senior citizen dog who needs some more love. I am more than willing to accommodate to everyone's needs.

We absolutely love Rachel! She kept us up to date on our fur babies, sending cute photos and kind notes with each rover card. Our dog and cat were well loved while we were out of town.

About: I've owned multiple senior dogs, and volunteered at the ARL dog shelter. I am more experienced with cats, but am willing to work with dogs as well, especially if they're easy going. I'm currently attending college, so for the summer my schedule is pretty much open! I can work anytime of day, and am able to work holidays. I have experience working with senior and sickly pets, as well as some experience with kittens. If you have a cat who is harness trained I would be happy to take them on walks.

Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!

About: Not Just a Pet Sitter — A True Animal Caregiver I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up caring for dogs and helping my parents raise chickens, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with farm animals including goats, pigs, cows, and sheep. I’ve helped with daily feeding, cleaning, health checks — and even assisted in delivering a baby lamb.Whether it’s your family dog or a small backyard flock, I provide dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your animals are safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I am currently open for any time of the day or night monday thru friday. And am available 12pm-5pm on sundays. I can somwtimes make an exception for Saturday's if I am given a notice a few days ahead of time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Animals feel safest in their own environment, so I follow your detailed instructions closely — including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs.

About: I do not have much experience, I have taken care of my mother and laws dogs since they were babies (they’re almost 3 now) and now I have a pup of my own who’s almost 10 months! My pup is a golden and has been so fun to train and care for. I’m not doing this for the money, if anything I’d like to find a friend for my dog to pay with too while helping someone else at the same time! We love going to the dog park and getting cleaned up at the dog shower after! Dog showers can be requested too at no extra cost! Im currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding any day of the week as long as you give me a two week notice ahead of time so I can coordinate my work schedule accordingly! I’m very flexible too and can make time for your pup just about whenever! I have one 8 month old golden who is crate trained and is also very good with other dogs! He has so much energy and would love to keep your dog company too! Let your pup be a frequent dog park go-er too!
