3. Bri B.
“Bri is amazing with our pets! We come home to calm and happy pets (has not always been true - they are clingy or anxious). Bri is especially talented with our German shepherd who likes to do her own thing if you let her. But every time we come home, she is self disciplined and listens to instructions. It’s a testament to the time and effort Bri puts into her enrichment and brain games. Bri is great with our exotics, and ensures the tortoises get enrichment throughout the week as well!”

8. Mayah K.
“I was very happy to find Mayah for the Whiteville area to help with my pets. She did daily drop-ins for my cats to visit them and provide them with fresh food and water. She even got my shy cat to come out while she visited them. She provided photos while I was gone too- always a nice way to see they're doing well! I look forward to working with Mayah in the future. Her rates are very reasonable and my pets were well cared for. Very happy clients!”
9. Zada M.
“Zaida is very thorough and detail oriented. She was great with my crew of 6 pets in Houston Texas. She has great management skills and is very pet savvy. She will do an excellent job walking dogs she understands about dog behavior. She will ask all the correct questions about is your dog reactive to other dogs? Any issues that the dog may have needing medications or issues on the walk. I trust her completely with my pets and my home. Karen”

My name is Kaitlyn I’m 20 years old ive graduated with a high school diploma and currently working part time! I’ve been in love with animals since I was little but no jobs near me are hiring for it so I’m hoping you will come across this!

15. Cameron S.
About: I’ve taken care of most of my family animals when members go on vacation, I’m normally the first person that comes to mind when someone needs a sitter! I’m normally pretty flexible and have a very open availability! Could do early mornings or late nights! Anytime I can help, I am more than willing I would only be able to travel to the animal, as there is another Dog at my house. Fenced in yards and free to play however much
16. Cassie T.
“Cassie did a great job of keeping us updated on our pets while we were away! She provided a thorough update on their moods, health, and appetites, and took the best pictures! She even took the time to meet them beforehand and ensured we felt comfortable with her. If something looked off in the house, she advised us of that as well. We could tell that our pets were well taken care of and had gotten plenty of play time and attention. Would recommend Cassie as she obviously loves animals and cared for our pets so well!”
17. Molly C.
“Molly is an absolute gem! She recently stayed at our home to watch our two dogs—a big, energetic pup and a little one who needs gentle care. Molly’s energy is incredible; she’s both calming and warm, which put our pets at ease immediately. She was wonderfully attentive to both of our dogs, giving our big one plenty of active playtime and being extra gentle with our small dog, just as we asked. I was so impressed with the thoughtful little things she did, like wiping their paws every time they came inside. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and at home while we were away made all the difference. I would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. She’s truly an amazing person who gives pets all the love and care they need!”

About: Hey fellow animal lovers!! I am a kind, fun, active, and energetic person who can match any animal energy level and excited to meet new furry friends🐶🐱 I have grown up with dogs and cats since I was a kid and have also had a few in my adult life. I have dealt with elderly dogs and I have learned to have love and patience. I also have friends who are dog trainers that I am able to utilize as a resource. I am a part time bookkeeper and sometimes help my boyfriend with his merchandising business, so I have a lot of flexibility and I am able to stay at my house as long as needed. I have a fenced backyard and a doggy door and animals are able to play, run and sun bathe if they would like. I also have a doggy door, so they are able to come in and out as they please. I will also be there to help them with any needs.
19. Danielle M.
About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have taken care of each and every pet I’ve had. I have always had either a dog or cat in my house. And each of my family members have had pets that I have been around as well. I also use to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I cared for injured animals. I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have three loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day. We go on walks all the time! We can have a pet play date if your pet likes other dogs. If you need your pet needs to crated, I can do that. If they need soothing music put on, I can do that too!
