7. Andrew M.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 and currently a turtle for the past 5 years. I have experience with from giving medicine to giving the best good boy/girl heard rubs around. I have a full time job, but have a flexible schedule. I can do mostly 30min visits or longer on weekends. But am willing to coordinate on as needed basis. I can do mainly drop in visits as I have 2 cats and a turtle currently at my place. So home stay will not work.

9. Leo S.
“I would highly recommend Leo! I’m very anxious when I have to leave my dogs. I have 2 Gordon setter puppies and a reactive german Pinscher My reactive dog is very protective of our home. I recently fell and broke my arm, lucky for me Leo was available. He flew to get here and stayed with me. Leo was respectful and carful with my reactive dog. By the end, that reactive dog was giving kisses to Leo and she does not let others touch her. He took care of them for 2 months. I’m so grateful to Leo and you would be lucky to have him take care of your fur babies. Just the biggest heart you will ever meet. 120% recommend!”

17. Raymend T.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of animal behavior and my ability to tailor care to the specific needs of each pet. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and patience. Additionally, I am skilled in administering medications, monitoring for signs of health issues, and creating enriching environments to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. My organizational skills ensure that feeding schedules, grooming, and litter maintenance are handled with precision. Above all, I approach pet care with empathy and dedication, treating every animal as if they were my own. This commitment to providing individualized and loving care is what makes me stand out. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize meeting the needs of the animals in my care by maintaining a consistent schedule. Each day, I ensure pets are fed on time, their living spaces are clean, and they have fresh water. I also set aside time for interactive play and affection, as I understand the importance of mental and physical stimulation for their well-being. Weekly, I focus on deeper cleaning tasks, such as thoroughly sanitizing litter boxes, grooming, and checking for any signs of health issues. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets, and I’m very organized when it comes to keeping track of their needs, such as feeding schedules or medication routines if required. This structured approach ensures that pet care is not just a task but a natural and fulfilling part of my life. Pets require consistent care to ensure their health and happiness. This includes providing fresh food and water daily, a comfortable and cozy place to sleep, and engaging toys to stimulate their minds. A window view can also enhance their environment, offering enrichment and enjoyment. Additionally, it’s essential to take precautions against parasites by using preventative treatments as recommended by a veterinarian. Regular veterinary visits are crucial for monitoring their health, addressing any issues promptly, and keeping vaccinations up to date. For safety, pets should always wear an ID tag or be microchipped to ensure they can be identified and returned if lost.
