“Fawn is great with my 9 week old puppy. She recently raised a puppy of her own so knew what I was going though in terms of chewing etc. She was always quick to respond, on time and sent updates of what they were up to even though they she baby sat for a short period of time. Fawn brought her kids with as well (after asking of course) - which was wonderful because my puppy needs the socialization and they tired her out! Fawn is kind, gentle and very respective of your wishes and your home. She has been with my puppy every day this week so far and we are loving it!”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my own fur family, I've watched several other's fur babies for the past 10 years. I work from home, so I'm home the majority of the time. That means your animals always get the attention they need, plus always another animal for companionship. I don't have a fenced yard, but I ALWAYS tether or take them out on a leash when at my home. I do like to give treats like kongs for added stimulation as well. I do have crates or have room for crates for sleeping or if they need alone time.
About: I showed pitbulls semi professionally when I was a teenager. I have lived on a farm most my life so animals and I always get along. I'm currently working from home as a Game Developer. I am on a rugby team that practices Tuesday/Thursday 6-8pm and games on Saturdays, so there are a few select times I'm not available. I have a Husky who loves making new friends and 2 cats that are indifferent to others. I enjoy spending time with animals whether its cuddles, active play, or just sitting in the room so they aren't lonely.

I hope pet care can fill the gaps in my schedule. I don't board now because of the rules of my landlord, but I will stay in other homes and get dogs outside whenever I can. I love taking dogs to the park and getting them exercise.

I have always gotten along really well with animals and respect and love their company. i’m working on figuring out my career path in life. i have a cat that i would prefer to stay with, but she does perfectly fine alone for a night :) I would prefer to meet the pet with the owner beforehand, and to be given instructions on how you want me to care for your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters.

It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

“I have had Jaci watch my dogs many times. She is always great with them and they love her visits! She feeds them twice a day, and gives them plenty of love and treats and exercise. Whether we need a pet sitter for a weekend away or for a two week vacation, she has been our go-to dog sitter for several years.”

Stormy C.
“Stormy is my go-to dogsitter. I have a 3 year old coon-hound mix with very high energy. Stormy is very responsible and respectful. He treats my dog with the love and compassion he deserves. Stormy loves to be outside so my dog, high energy and all, gets plenty of walks and exercise. It's relaxing to know that while I'm at work, my dog is taken care of and has had the needed exercise by the time we get home. I would definitely recommend contacting Stormy for any of your dogsitting needs!”

Natalie T.
“Natalie has pet and house sat for us numerous times! There's not enough amazing things to say about her. She genuinely takes care of our fur babies as if they are her own. I know they will not just be taken care of, but spoiled, cuddled and loved while we are gone. She helped us with 3 large dogs and 4 cats, even our most timid cat was cuddling up on her lap in no time! I also know that I can fully trust her in our home while we are gone, she's truly the only person I would call to take care of our babies and home! You'd be lucky to have someone as wonderful as her to rely on while you're out!”

Shelly Q.
“I can not express how grateful we were to have Shelly watch our diabetic kitty. She was willing to give him shots even though she had never done them before, and she did awesome! She not only stopped to give him his food, shots, change his litter but she also played with him and sent us pictures!! It was so nice to know that our sweet kitty was being taken care of and we had nothing to worry about. Shelly is wonderful and I would highly recommend. We will definitely have her help us again! Our kitty doesn't get along with everyone but he sure did well with Shelly!!”
