Melissa was amazing! She came for a meet and greet and asked so many great questions, She sat down on the floor and gave our dogs some love too! We were immediately put at ease seeing how comfortable she was with them, we have a black lab and a corgi mix. She sent us picture and text updates and overall made our weekend at the beach so stress free knowing our dogs were in good hands!

About: I’ve watched multiple dogs at once all my life, making sure they get all the attention and love they need. I also love to just walk around so your babies will get the exercise they need. I’m free most hours Sunday through Thursday. Saturday and Friday get a little iffy but I’m sure I can work stuff out. I work part time so most of my day would be spent caring for your dogs. I will play with your dog walk them as long as they need. I’ll let them out and make sure they are as safe as they can be.

About: I've raised dogs my entire life! Over the last 5 years, I've started house sitting for family friends for upwards of 3-4 weeks at a time, adding cats, bunnies, and birds to the rotation. Currently until the end of June, I will be working about 4 days a week as a substitute teacher. I'm usually out of the house by 6:30a and home around 3:15p. If it's a day where I don't have a job scheduled, then I'm free :) I am very adaptable, reliable, clean and thoughtful when it comes to caring for clients animals, especially in their homes. I will be cognizant of whatever rules and guidelines you lay out for me to make sure your animal is getting the best care!

About: I have dog sat for other people before and I absolutely love animals. I have 5 of my own animals that I love with all of my heart. One of them is a puppy right now. I have experienced little dogs, medium dogs, bigger dogs and puppies. I’ve learned a lot through my own trial and error early on with my own dogs. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently working part time and I have time in my day to make sure your pet has all the love and attention it needs. Since I have 5 dogs it would preferably have to be in the clients home especially the first few times so I would be able to connect with the dog.

Cassie was wonderful and I know we’ll be calling her again soon! She house sat for 2 days. Stella is older and has some health issues. Cassie followed all of our feeding and walking directions, and let us know how she was doing throughout the day, so I didn’t worry. It was nice to be able to relax and enjoy our short vacation!

Keira was awesome with the "zoo" at my house. She was very conscientious and connected right away with all my pets. She kept me very well updated on how everyone was doing and was very flexible and easy to work with. I felt at peace knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. Would recommend her as an A++ pet sitter!

About: I am a full time trained veterinary technician at a local animal hospital. I have volunteered in the local shelter for 10 years. I help my mom run her own dog rescue. I am absolutely passionate about animals and helping them and have the medical aspect to help back me. I work 3 days a week and have 4 days completely off. I can come walk, stay the night, medicate and even just hang out with your pet on a schedule that best suits you and your animal. I will not be offering any in home boarding or training. I would be coming to you only. I have leashes and slip leads that work best for me and the safety of your animal.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. My babies are lifers. Your animal is my number one priority. I prefer animals over humans any day I quit my job to walk dogs full time. I’m always available if you need me. Your babies are my babies. I’d prefer dogs over humans I have a fenced in yard and no one can escape. I abide by what the client asks for in their and my own home. I walk, play with your dog if toys are presented

About: Hi! Woof! I have been loving dogs since I was born. When you couldn't find me as a child, it was probably because I was in the dog house, surrounded by 15 pit bull puppies. Living the dream! Now I have a dog of my very own and have been proud to call my son for 15 years. I also am the the proud Aunt to 5 other babies of all different sizes and breeds. I have wonderful dog friends who I get to visit and care for, and I just love it. I have had experience caring for 7 newborn puppies, expecting mothers, females in heat, etc. I love to cuddle but if that’s not your thing, that’s okay too! We can take as many walks as you need to get your exercise in. There's plenty of love and time offered because I want you to feel safe, secure, and loved while in my care, whether that's a walk down the street or at bedtime. Thank you for taking time to read my profile, if you feel I might be a good match for your baby, please feel free to reach out! ❤️🐾 I work a full time teaching position currently, so I am available after 3pm and don’t usually am awake until 11:30pm and don’t mind walking at night. My preferred leash, which I always have on hand, wraps and clips around my waist so your dog will be securely attached to my body no matter what. At this time, I cannot offer boarding or daycare unless at the clients house. With that said, I cleaned homes for many years and always respect another persons home. I’m there for your dog, and serve no other purpose.

Mae did a terrific job caring for our beagle and he enjoyed her company! She was punctual, enthusiastic and kept us well informed of how things were going while we were out. I heartily recommend her as a dog sitter, and we intend to use her help again in the future. Thank you, Mae!

About: Hi, I'm Meg, and I love dogs. I have been taking care of friend's and family's pets since I was a teenager. I was blessed with 11 beautiful years caring for my English Bulldog named Fred. Since he has crossed over the rainbow bridge, I have extra time and a void in my life that only dogs can fill. I cooked food for Fred and became his doctor and healer so I am well versed in the many individual needs dogs have these days. I am a part-time yoga teacher, so I bring a patient and calm nurturing energy to all animals I meet. I hope I get the chance to meet your best friend! I am currently working online and have a very flexible schedule. I have no attachments keeping me, so I am free to stay at your home for longer stays. I care for all pets as if they were my own. I treated my dog Fred like he was my first born child. He was a King and I would do the same for your pets. I bring patience and kindness to all interactions in my life and I am ready to make any personalized changes and accommodations for your best friend.
