“Shaelyn was awesome with Jasper and he seemed very comfortable around her. He is normally a shy dog around new people so I was very happy he didn't seem to have any issues.”

“Bradley was a true lifesaver, stepping in and walking my 84lb Goldendoodle 2x a day for 6 days. I broke my dominate arm and needless to say, quite helpless. Bradley is the consummate professional, always on time, documenting every walk with a photo and summary. Cookie always looked forward to his arrival and finally, at the age of 13, learned the meaning of a schedule! Dog owners couldn’t find anyone more trustworthy than Bradley.”

About: I have worked at two credible boarding/animal daycare facilities. I worked at both of these facilities for one year each. I worked with puppies, senior animals, kittens, large animals, and small animals. The first facility I worked at was connected to a vet clinic where I also gained experience. I worked with animals recovering from surgeries and animals with different emotional behaviors. I have been petsitting for 7 years. I am available to work around my class schedule to petsit and have a flexible schedule to watch your pets and care for them like they are my own! I have a six year old dog who I take for a walk 3-4 times a day when I am home from college. I love him so much and he is like my other half! He’s a jack russel with a lot of energy and a huge personality. When I am working with my clients pets, I hangout with them for the majority of the day and treat them like my own!
About: Providing care for dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, turtles, and birds since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends, and clients seek me out because I care for their pets like they're my own. I work remote so I have time and flexibility to provide your pets with attention and care. My weekends are normally pretty flexible too. Ready to give all the pets love and snuggles! I am able to follow a schedule and instructions if the client wishes or I can determine appropriate care. I have experience administering some medication.
“I was recovering from a surgery and needed help with my handicapped dog. I'm so glad I found Nick! My girl Charlie is paralyzed in her hind in and and needs to be put in her wheelchair when going outside or for walks. She is also incontinent so she needs her bladder expressed. I wasn't able to do any of this. After explaining all this to Nick he quickly learned how to take care of all of her needs. Charlie adapted to him as well. I was very impressed with Nick he was always on time and with his positive attitude, took Charlie in her wheelchairs, for a "GOOD QUALITY" walk. Nick is a nice and caring guy that I will highly recommend to anybody that needs help with dog walking or more. I will be suggesting him to all my friends and family. You never know when you'll need somebody to help out with your fur baby when you are unable🐾”

“This was Mariah's 2nd time taking care of Abel while I was out of town and I couldn't be more satisfied! She was right on time for every visit and they did very well together. He even let her take a picture of him, which he NEVER does!”

“Haley has been incredibly responsive from the very beginning, even meeting with us ahead of time before scheduling. She’s warm, friendly, and so understanding with our pup, Cosmo. He tends to be shy at first, but Haley’s gentle approach has really helped him start to come out of his shell. We truly appreciate her patience and the thoughtful updates she provides after each visit. We’re so glad to have her as part of Cosmo’s care going forward!”
