Jesus was punctual and polite. My very hyper but loving pitbull, warmed to him immediately. Jesus was not apprehensive about the breed. He took good care of my little pity.

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.

About: I love dogs and grew up having all types of breeds but I am any pet friendly. I have had snakes, tortoises, a bunny and now I have a cat! My dog knowledge comes mostly from personal experience that I have optained from my lifetime of being a pet owner. At the moment I don't have a doggy in my life but I need one. I would love to practice my trading, playing and dog walking until I can add a dog to my life but in the meantime I'll enjoy the company of any doggy that will let me. My schedule is very free and flexible. I work part time and do some volunteer work so even though I'm available 90 percent of the time knowing ahead of time what pet might need some attention would be very helpful. Now I have a fenced yard. It's small but there is a park just down the street. To keep the pet in my home, it would need to be crate trained since I have a cat indoors (at least I can know that both pets are safe. And if it's at a clients home then whatever works for the pet and owner. That may be preferable but it all depends

About: I have always offered to take care of my family and friend's babies for free because I am an animal lover to my core! When I found out I can do what I love as a job, I knew I had to throw my name out here! I hope me and your fur baby can connect! Bring me all the animals!!! <3 I have a flexible schedule and I am looking to add on a side hustle doing what I love the most, spending time with animals! Don't say anything, but I usually prefer paws over people! I would be comfortable keeping your little (or big) one in my home or in their environment so as to keep them at ease! You know your baby better than anyone so I am able to work with you and your furry friend!

About: Hello my name is Jenny, I've taken care of a few dogs through my high school years and cats. My family friends have relied on me to take care of their pets and their home. I have four dogs of my own who I love very much. I have experience with senior dogs who need more assistance than others. My dog walks with three legs, she is blind from one eye, and she cannot hear very well so she needs a lot of my attention especially because she is an older dog. I am able to bathe them, trim their nails (if they have clear nails), and I am very patient with puppies as well. I have a few loyal customers and they usually let me know ahead of time when they need me to pet sit so me schedule is mostly flexible. I am a college student and I have other priorities, but pet sitting will be my source of income so my schedule will be flexible through my daily and weekly routine. I have four dogs of my own, two male and two female dogs. Two of my dogs are very play full, they can get frustrate around other dogs because they are not used to new dogs around the house, but I could easily crate your pet. I do have access to a doggy door, so they come in and out as they please. I do not have a feeding schedule for my dogs because they have their bowl full throughout the day and night. My dogs are well behaved, but my two male dogs are not operated and most of my clients don't want their female dogs close to them which is understandable. One of my female dogs is old and can barely walk so she isn't around hypered dogs because I am afraid she will get hurt and she has been hurt in the past by pets I have cared for. Depending how your pet is around with other dogs it will be very rear for me to pet sit at my home.

About: I have had my own dogs since I was a new born. The first were big dogs. A golden retriever and a brittney spaniel. As of currently my family consists of 3 little doggies and a hognose snake. Rags is my wired haired Doxie, Archie is my Chihuahua terrier mix, and Tessa is relatively unknown but we think she’s a corgi mixed with a chihuahua. My hognose is named morty. I rescued that love bug from his very forgetful (previous) owner. I’m working part time and I also door dash, Uber, instacart. I strive for my ability to be independent. I usually work my butt off for three days and stay home with the animals for the rest of the week. I figure spending more time with my animals I’d be happier. I am happier. Animals are like a zen zone for me. They’re easier to talk to and be playful self with. I keep my dogs food and water replenished. For my neighbors dogs that I occasionally watch from time and time again dude to her surgeries, I make sure they go out every 3 hours and I don’t feed them till 8am and 6 pm every day.

About: I’ve always loved animals since childhood, growing up with my parents always rescuing strays. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in dog care, focusing on comfort and trust. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my ability to make pets feel at ease through a comforting touch, a unique scent I wear to ensure they recognize me, and creating a calming environment where they feel safe and cared for. I also always make sure to send pet owners picture updates of their pets to ensure they’re doing okay and to always ask questions if I am unsure about anything. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I’m always available because I’m passionate about making pet sitting my full-time career. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just hanging out with pets, I love spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my life! In both my home and my clients’ homes, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime, and I provide plenty of attention and affection. I always stay with them every step of the way, showering them with pets and ensuring they’re comfortable with me and their surroundings. I create a calm, stress-free environment, and if needed, I bring familiar items like toys or blankets to help them feel at home. My goal is to make sure they feel completely relaxed, loved and cared for!

I grew up around dogs, and currently have one cat, Selma. before my cat, We had an adopted dog (Shiba Inu) named Niko. I have experience working with dogs who are food-aggressive, excitable dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who are just plain happy to be there. Im also open to completing light house keeping and other tasks as assigned. I’m basically here to make your life easier and give your pet the same love you’ll give them as soon as you are reunited!

About: Hello I’m Ashley!! I am a huge animal lover and I have such a soft heart for every single one. I grew up in a small town and with not a lot money but I always somehow managed to find a stray cat to take home. I could never leave a cat or dog my heart will not let me and I’d always take them home till I found there forever home. I say kitty sanctuary because the amount of times I found cats or kittens and took them home! We didn’t have much growing up but I gave my all to my pets and even got my first job at 14 working at a snackbar for a baseball field and everything I made always went to getting food and extra food for the kitties I’d find. We had one dog growing up and sadly gave him away but I love dogs just as much!! The last two years I have dog sat for my neighbors who go on a few trips and I’ve been told I’m very attentive and friendly. I also watch my best friends cat for her every time she goes out of town. You can rely on me to keep things tidy, daily feeding, fresh water, picking up poop and I’ve had a sick cat before so I can do medications as well! I’m a very happy and big hearted person it’s just me naturally so you know your animals will be getting all my love and attention. I can assure you that your pets will be in very good hands and I will do all the basics and requirements you ask. Your home and pet will be given the same respect and care that I take with my own valuables. I have one part time job so I have a lot of availability to help out!! I’d be so happy to take the stress of leaving your pet and ensuring they are in great hands. I have one part time job so most of the week I’m free and I’m available every evening and night after 6pm! I usually only work mon- wed but I can always work around and figure it out. Id prefer your pets to stay home since they are typically more comfortable when they are in they’re own home and I want to make sure your pet feels happy an safe! If you needed for them to stay with me we can talk about it and I just have one little kitty with me who loves all animals just as much as me!
