About: I work at an animal hospital full time. I enjoy working with puppies and senior dogs. From training them to giving medications is something I am good at. I enjoy spending time with animals. I work full time at an animal hospital. I am available Sunday- Saturday. I can let your animals out on my lunch. I am available before and after work to let your animals out or take them on a walk!!

8. Rose N.
“Rose is a kind, professional and polite dog sitter. She is prompt and took excellent care of my dog’s needs. I was impressed that she could handle my large energetic Saint Bernard so well right away! Anyone who loves their dog like their child will have peace of mind with their canine in Rose’s hands.”
9. Tyler C.
“Tyler is great! He was very professional and took Brewer on a long walk that drained all his energy. My puppy was much calmer that night as he got plenty of playtime in the afternoon. Due to work it can be difficult for me to spend a proper lunch break with my dog, so Tyler really helped in that regard. You can tell he loves animals and can connect with them on their level. I’d recommend others to book Tyler as well.”

11. Lauren S.

18. Brandi W.
“Brandi’s communication was amazing, she scheduled a video chat prior to the drop in and was extremely flexible with my schedule. Due to my own stupid scheduling SNAFU she didn’t have a chance to drop in on the dogs but I would happily schedule with her again. I really appreciated her communication and would definitely book with her next time I’m in the area.”
19. Holly W.
About: I have taken care of dogs for about 3 years but I have had my own animals sense I was a kid. I just love being around animals and taking care of them. I want like 6 when I’m in my own house. I am currently working 2 part time jobs but I will always make time for the pets that I am sitting especially if the are needing a bit of extra care. I will sit and play with them and make sure they are fed and have taken a walk. I like to stay for a bit just so they have a bit of interaction so they don’t miss there people to much.
