Ansley and our dog get along so well. Our dog is very stubborn and doesn’t like to walk without us. Ansley was able to talk a full walk with her on day 2! Now our dog is so excited to see her!

Aunt LaGina is who you want to care for your pet! I highly recommend. We had gone away for a week and she watched over our two pets as if they were her own. We received so many pictures of our pets playing and having fun. She is very pro-active with the pets. Extremely responsible and dedicated ; if you’re lucky enough to book her - then your pet concerns are over. They will be well taken care of while you’re away. We hope she will be available for our next trip!

About: I am reliable and make sure to take care of any individual pet. I love hanging out with dogs, making sure they’re active, happy, and cared for. I have experience in watching dogs over night in their homes, as well check on dogs if their owner are away on vacation. Dogs can get lonely when their owners are away working or traveling, which is why I love to dogsit when needed! I am a full-time college, so weekends including Friday afternoons are my best times. If I have free time when not busy with academics, I can dog sit in the afternoon/evenings. I make sure dogs have food and water! I live in a house with a big yard that is front and back, very spacious for dogs to run around and sniff around!

About: Those beautiful innocent animals from dogs, to cats, birds etc, are all part of G-d's creation. They are so dear to my heart! I love to care for them. I can't wait to meet your pet, and fulfill his needs. I am very compassionate, and caring for your animal. They full my heart, with joy. I used to have parrots, and really love to preparing the food for them. I would clean their place, etc. I even felt some kind of a bond. Now I can't have them, according to my rent agreement. I enjoy every moment, when caring for dogs, and cats, by other people.

Being a post collegiate runner I have a lot of endurance and really enjoy working out! I love to walk, it is a part of my daily routine so I’m happy to include your dog! I currently work full time Monday - Friday. I am available to walk dogs in the early afternoon and Saturdays and Sundays all day. My weekend schedule is open and flexible.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was around 10 years old. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, play, walk, and love on their furry friends! I am currently working part time while in college for 2 hours (Tuesday and Thursday) so I have plenty of time to be present with you pet and making sure their needs are met! Unfortunately, I am not set up in the right environment to be able to watch your pet in my own home. Maybe in the future! :)

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was 8, including cats, dogs, hedgehogs, fish, etc so I love animals and am more than capable of taking care of them. I also work in animal care so I have experience in noticing odd behaviors. I am currently out of work so have a very flexible schedule. I am available any hours of the day but prefer to keep it to weekdays. With the right animal I’m willing to do weekends as well. I can easily let the pet outside for restrooms break and can interact with your pet as I love animals. I also am trained to notice odd and out of the ordinary behavior to notice any issues your pet may be having.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs and cats for over a decade now, as well as friends’ and families’ throughout the years. I’m very passionate about animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m have a very flexible schedule but tend to prefer mid/late morning — early evening. If you need something outside of these times, I’m willing to work with you to get you the care that you and your pets need! I love taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood or to a nearby dog park if that’s what you prefer! I also love stopping by for play dates or just checking in to care for them, and would love to check in on and play with your cats as well! All animals are good animals <3

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was around 9 years old, starting with my own pets and helping out with the pets of friends and family. While I haven’t done it professionally until now, I’ve always been the go-to person when someone needed a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or in-home visits, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, playfulness, and lots of love! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I recently graduated, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their familiar space. During visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, cuddles, a walk, or just some calm companionship. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite toys and potty breaks. I know how important it is to maintain your pet’s usual routine, so I do everything I can to make each visit feel safe, fun, and stress-free for both you and your furry friend!

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, my family always had pets in the house like dogs, cats, fish, and even my sweet guinea pig cupcake. Because of that, I’m very comfortable around animals and extremely patient and attentive when it comes to all different kinds of pets. All pets are different with unique personalities and should be cared to just like us. I’m currently a full time student but I am incredibly flexible and available to care for your snuggly furry (or bald) babies! I can work around your schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the clients home and follow the normal routine set in the household. I can guarantee feeding schedules, portion sizes, exercise routines, everything will be followed.
