Our first visit & Lauren was phenomenal with my fur babies. She was patient and let my dog take the lead on their walk. She refilled water dishes, pre-treated a mess that was left by my family from earlier in the day. She is very respectful of my home and caring to my dogs. I have found my go to sitter/walker for my dogs.

About: I have a family dog, and I have loved growing up with her. They are wonderful companions. I have been pet sitting for a family for over 3 years now, and I would love to do more! I am working part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang out and help with pets! Most weekdays/weekends, I am free for your pet needs. I am good at working with both cats and dogs of any size. Just let me know if there is anything specific I need to do!

Alexis is the best and worked really hard to make Walter feel comfortable, I will definitely be using her again. Let me tell you a story. One morning, Alexis was checking on my dog. She accidentally locked herself out of my house. Bummer, right? I was really mad for a while. Not Alexis' fault, since I thought my roommate wasn't going to be home but he actually was and locked her out without realizing it. Anyway, instead of leaving my dog in the yard and leaving, she stayed with my dog until I came home from camping that afternoon, gave him water, walked him extra, and kept him from freaking out. She really treated my dog like her own.

Joanna did a great job checking in on my kitty Peaches. She reliably showed up as promised, communicated well, shared pictures and my cat loved her. She was good at telling with Peaches was in the mood to play or in the mood to cuddle and gave her all the love she craved. I will definitely have Joanna look in on Peaches again in the future. Highly recommend.

About: I’m an attentive and reliable walker who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I’m comfortable with leash handling and focused on keeping dogs safe, exercised, and happy on their walks. I have experience with a range of dog breeds (and cats) through friends, family, and roommates. I'm happy to adjust to each dog's needs, whether it's a relaxed walk or a faster pace. For dogs who enjoy it, I can also incorporate light jogging into walks. I'm also experienced with salt and freshwater fish, reef tanks, arachnids, aquatic invertebrates, specialized tank setups, and bird species ranging from parrots and doves to fowl. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care routines, and helping maintain stable environments during drop ins. I'm happy to provide updates and photos after a walk or drop-in visit. I'm currently a student who occasionally works on-campus a few times per month. On most weekdays, I'm readily available in the early mornings and afternoons/evenings to take care of your pet! On weekends, I'm even more flexible. On walks, I stay attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they don’t ingest anything harmful and to watch for signs of stress or discomfort. I position myself between the dog and the road, avoid high-traffic areas when possible, and choose safer, quieter routes. For birds, I monitor body language and ensure their enclosure is secure at all times. I can handle parrots if needed, but always prioritize their comfort and boundaries. For fish tanks and other small animals, I maintain strict hygiene by washing my hands before and after care. I follow detailed care instructions closely, including feeding, temperature checks, and maintaining stable environments. I ensure all enclosures are securely closed and handled carefully to prevent stress or escape.

Caleb, is absolutely awesome! I was initially nervous about boarding my 65 pound bully, Remi, as she’s a creature habit. So, I opt for in-home drop-in. We arranged four meet -n- greet to ensure Remi and Caleb became comfortable with each other. By the third meeting, Remi was practically trying to go home with Caleb. That’s when we knew we made them perfect choice.! Caleb kept us updated with pictures throughout vacation, which gave us such peace of mind. He truly is awesome and I’ll definitely continue to use his service. Thanks to the positive experience. I’m now even considering trying his daycare service and eventually boarding. Thanks Caleb for taking such wonderful care of my sweet girl Remi.
