Paul is the person you want to care for your home and your pets while you are away! His communication was excellent, he sent frequent photos of our cat, and he took great care of everything household, even completing an unexpected household maintenance task. We returned to a pristinely clean home with everything organized so nicely for our home. I had confidence he would care lovingly for our cat from when they first met. Paul gave the immediate impression that he loves animals and has an innate sense for their needs. Thank you, Paul, for giving us a worry-free time away from home.

Angie is the best! She has done drop in visits for my two cats numerous times - most recently for 14 days while I was gone in a trip. When I got home my cats were calm and relaxed as if I hadn't been gone at all. Angie is very kind and well qualified to watch pets, she also brings in my mail and feeds the birds for me... I highly recommend her!!

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.

Jayme was great! She was extremely responsive and really cared about the well-being of my cats. I will definitely use her next time I travel because I know my cats will be in safe hands. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Rachael did drop in visits for my two cats over about a week and a half. I appreciated the punctuality and extra effort to give them wet food (they're on an auto feeder and my little piggy Zakky definitely appreciated it 😂). No complaints and would book Rachael again. 🙂

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was around 8 or 9. I’ve fed, walked, and cleaned up after my family’s pets and worked at a doggie daycare and boarder for a few years. I’m a college student home for the summer and am working part time as an intern. I am free most weekends and evenings to take care of your furry friends! I would care for your pet in your home the way you want me to. If you have a safe crate you want them to stay in, I will put them in there while I am away.

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.

She did a wonderful job caring for my sick and yet very energetic husky. Super nice woman and a very good caretaker. My husky threw a temper tantrum when she saw me walk through the front door instead of Farra 😂

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and reptiles since I was a child and have volunteered in animal shelters. My passion is animals and my dog is the love of my life, and I cannot wait to share that love with your pets! My boy was VERY reactive when I first brought him home and we have been through multiple obedience classes together so I have experience with dogs of all temperaments and have special love for the ones who tend to be misunderstood. I am currently working full time but would love to take on caring for your pets on Friday evenings and on the weekends. My weekend availability is completely open! I live near a few parks that provide wonderful opportunities for walks with lots of spots to sniff and explore! I have experience medicating dogs if needed, kenneling them, and whatever other special needs they may have.
