About: Hello! My name is Geneviève(“G”)- cat and dog mom to Pita, Vinny, and Lucy! I've been in Los Angeles for a decade working as a musician and exploring. I recently moved to AL! I love hiking, working out, crocheting, and hanging with family. I have a special way with shy temperaments and have experience with all sorts of dogs, from teacup Poms, to Huskies and Great Danes. I look forward to hanging out with your fur babies! ¨̮ I work evenings wed-Sunday so mornings afternoons work well for me or if it's house sitting I will be there most the day and gone for 6-7 hrs I want to become best friends with every animal I meet. I want your pet to feel comfortable while you're not there with them, and also want you to know they will get the best care and you can enjoy your trip away without worrying. Every animal I meet is different and has different needs (affection/play/space) I make sure to give each one I spend time with what they need.

Amy is absolutely amazing, especially if you want peace of mind with your fur babies. She made our boy (male cat) feel comfortable and happy. She even got him to finish his wet food which he rarely does. We loved the pictures she sent us. We cannot wait to book her again!

Sara responded quickly to my messages and my same day request to check on my dog. She helped me with the mess my dog had made chewing up a floor mat. Sara messaged me to tell me what happened and I was able to get her help with everything that day. I’m so appreciative that she was able to help me out that day.

I cannot say enough good things about Krystal or adequately express how grateful I am for her. She is a professional but she also truly loves our fur babies and cares for them. I’m not sure I would travel if I could not book her to care for our cats while we’re gone!

Rebecca was so fantastic for our senior dog while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and maintained a consistent schedule of drop-ins. I highly recommend her she is truly an animal lover and enjoys what she does. Will definitely use her again.

Sarah is the best when it comes to pets. The communication is great and she arrives on time each visit. My puppy loves her. I will definitely be reaching out to her for any future needs and I highly recommend that she is your first choice

About: I’m 39 years old and there has been a pet in my life since I was 7. I’m an only child and my pets quickly became like siblings (we didn’t fight like them, promise). I became the primary caregiver for my mom’s two senior mini dachshunds a few years ago and was able to get them crate and pee-pad trained. One of them crossed the rainbow bridge sadly, but my other little old lady is doing well. I fall in love with every animal I see and I would love the chance to fall in love with yours. I’m currently working a full time second shift job (1pm-11pm) so I have the mornings completely open to check on your babies. I’m also a night owl and have no problem doing a nighttime check after work or begin an overnight stay. If you have a fenced yard, I will let them outside and let them do their business before tossing a ball or toy or running around with them to get the zoomies out. If no yard, then I will take them out on a leash for a walk then some playtime inside. Food and water will be checked and refilled; cuddles will be provided at will. :)

Absolutely great experience! Both our cats loved having her check on them and she spent time with them and gave them a little outside break each day. Will definitely use her again when needed.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. I have my own pup named Benji, he is a Springer Spaniel, and a cat named Maizy. I will go above and beyond to ensure your baby is well taken care of. I also love to take and send pictures!! I currently work part time and have availability for check ins Thursday-Sunday. Whether your dog or cat needs to be fed, a potty break, or a quick play date I am available. I also can stay for extended periods of time and am willing to stay for a couple hours in the home if necessary and if you are comfortable! In your home I will of course ensure your pet has their basic needs met, including food, water, and pottying. But I also would love to take your dog on a walk or play fetch outside! As for cats I would love to play with them with their toys and keep them entertained! I will never let a dog outside their home or yard without a leash and I will only work with dogs of a size I can safely manage.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for around 3 years now. 2 years being with family and friends relying on me to watch, feed, and walk their animals. I have worked in an animal hospital around a year now! I am currently working full time, so I will have open availability as of right now, and plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I have a big yard and a room in my house just for pups! In the room there is different size crates, bowls, and many toys! I can easily crate your dog in the room or outside.

About: I have owned and cared for several dogs over the years, including my current Maltipoo. I’m experienced with daily care routines like feeding, walking, potty training, and providing attentive, loving companionship. My weekly schedule varies, but it’s very flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet’s routine. I prioritize attentive, one-on-one care and can fully meet your pet’s needs without distractions I have a fenced-in yard that allows for safe, outdoor play time. I also live in a very walkable area so plenty of exercise can be achieved if needed. I have my own male maltipoo who loves to meet and play with other animals as well. Specific care routines will be attended to per request.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for years and have always had them in my home growing up. Unfortunately, in a small apartment, I can’t have my own right now but would love to walk and care for all the pups! I am a full time student with a relatively flexible schedule for walking/ check ins with pups during the week and weekends! I am generally more free in the afternoons, but can do some mornings! I promise to take care of the pets just like they are my own! I know how important and a part of the family our pets are and will care for them as such.
