About: My family rescued our American Bulldog when I was in kindergarten, and he was my absolute best friend. I loved taking him on walks, playing with him in the yard, and just spending time sitting next to him. I absolutely love all animals, so I am so excited to take care of your pet! I work remotely Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and am available these days to work from your home to housesit/pet sit if needed! I also am available after 4pm during the week, and all day on the weekends to take care of your pet. I unfortunately am not allowed to have pets in my house. However, while at a client’s house, I love to spend time playing with the dogs outside for some exercise! For dogs that are less active, I enjoy spending time inside hanging out and playing with them and their toys.
“Moe has been so great for my pups. She stops in to let them out and play with them while I’m at work. She’s very communicative about her schedule and I get picture every time!”
“Esmeralda was FANTASTIC. My husband and I were out of the country for 5 days and we were in need of care for our English bulldog and senior French bulldog. Esmeralda did an outstanding job of communicating, providing gentle care, timely visits multiple times a day, doling out medications, keeping the house clean, sending follow up photos and more. I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs professional and compassionate care for their pets.”
“Naomi is a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of my shy cat, Rio, and I was (literally) shocked to see photos/videos of her out and about and getting pets from Naomi! I felt at ease while traveling, knowing she was there for Rio and taking good care of her. I will absolutely be booking with Naomi again!”
“Kira was excellent. Very complaint. Her dedication to her work definitely is very important to her. Thanks for helping out especially during the holidays.”
“Britney was great. She took the job with short notice and even came out for a meet and greet. She is reliable and really took the time to get to know are cat.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Furry ones are my favorite, but I’m also an aquarium enthusiast and love collecting interesting fish and sea life. I enjoy caring for animals from giving extra treats and snuggles to taking short treks and making sure everyone’s happy while you’re away. I work part-time in the evenings, so I am available throughout the day and regularly throughout the week. My husband is available where I am not. We are happy to help anytime we can! Pets need lots of attention and love, especially while you’re away. Visits include feeding, exercise and a little distraction from your absence. I’m happy to clean any messes, bring in mail or boxes and make sure everything is just how you left it.
“Beth and Mark were amazing! They went above and beyond making my dog feel comfortable, happy and safe-especially during a bad thunderstorm. They sent tons of pictures and updates which I loved. I would highly recommend!”
“Claire was amazing, she went above and beyond for my bunny! My flight ended up getting canceled she was quick to respond and extremely reliable! I will definitely be using Claire in the future!”
