We were very happy with Ronny, he took great care of our dog Daisy who is a bit hyper at times. She usually doesn't do well with strangers but took to him almost immediately. In addition to that he communicated with us frequently and sent pictures from all his visits with her.

About: Experienced husky owner, so lots of fur and energy is not a problem for me. Have had a variety of breeds over the years and love pets of all shapes and sizes. Love caring for and playing with fur babies. One of my huskies was a rescue with severe anxiety around humans, but is wonderful around other animals, so I am good at working with different types of personalities. Our dogs get let out every 2 to 3 hours to potty and run around the yard. We typically feed our dogs in the morning after they have been let out. Then we let them roam the house and play until the end of the day, when they are put into their kennels at night. During the week, our dogs are in the kennel while I am away. Dogs are free to roam my home; ours are kenneled when away for their safety, as they tend to get into things. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs for your dog to play with. I am a rescue mom. I had one fur baby that has very high anxiety around humans and took a lot of patience and support to get him to open up, so I have experience with skittish dogs as well. My schedule allows for plenty of time to visit and enjoy time with your animals.

Kathleen was great with my cats! She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures of them everyday. I was worried my one cat would not make an appearance while she was there, but he came up to her every visit. He even let her hold him. I would hire her again in an instant.

We loved having Ronni as our dog sitter. She took lots of pictures and gave us detailed updates on the dogs. She was thorough with the visits and we appreciated the walks and treats she gave them. I would definitely book her again.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I got my first dog at 3 and cared for her till she was 13 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of breeds from corgis to bernese mountain dogs. I am there to help walk bathe or spend time with your best friend when you are at work or away. I am home right now during the week and have been looking to fill my time and what better way then with your furry friends I am watchful if you have a fenced backyard I’d still spend time with you pet and play fetch or run with them to exercise them. While out walking just out of safety if I see another dog on or off leash or even a person I turn around or switch sides of the street. I always check about allergies or triggers for pets. Their safety and comfort are my main concern.

Kiah took wonderful care of our fur-babies. Our cats are high maintenance and extremely spoiled. She spent time getting to know them and earning their trust. We were able to relax because we knew they were in good hands. We’ll definitely use Kiah in the future and highly recommend her.

About: I’m Alex and I currently have one pitbull so I am A 24/7 dog mom! I love hiking and being out in nature. I have a high energy personality that is perfect for wearing any pup out. Growing up my parents owned dogs of all sizes and personalities (Dalmatian, Akitas, border collie, and jack russel) I love the Lower Allen dog park and would gladly take any dogs there with permission! My previous rescue pit had an abusive past which sadly caused some behavioral issues. Due to that I am more than comfortable watching any dogs that may be a little rough around the edges. I have no problem giving any daily medication needed. I’m just a fun loving dog owner who would love to give your dog wonderful care and attention! I am a stay at home mom so my days are pretty open. I also have access to flexible free child care through grandparents so I don’t have to have my child with me during any dog visits or stays. This allows me to be able to work with your needs! I’m available for caring overnight in your home where your pup is most comfortable! Lots of attention and if they’re allowed in the bed or on the couch they’ll be right there next to me. I am not currently available to be hosting animals at my own home.

About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.

About: I've had a household full of pets for 12 years, and I can't go without! I bring my experience as a pet owner of dogs, cats, small mammals, and reptiles, as well as hundreds of hours of volunteer experience at a local shelter. I know how to provide many different kinds of enrichment to suit your pet personally, I have basic training experience, and I'm able to provide walks to all sizes of dogs in any weather on any terrain. I can also administer medication, and provide select grooming services to most pets. I'm currently available at any time Monday through Thursday, and available at 6PM or later on Friday and Saturday! I am not available on Sundays (exceptions can be made at my discretion). I can stop by at these times for any duties you require. I am happy to care for your pets however you desire in your home. If I'm stopping by for a check-in and some feeding, I'll make sure that I spend time with your pet to make sure they're alright. If you have an enclosed backyard you would like me to make use of, I'm happy to take any dogs out for a play session! Whatever you are set up for at your home and are comfortable entrusting me with, I will strive to meet those requests the best I can.

About: I was a professional dog trainer for 8+ years. I also worked at a professional boarding kennel during that time. Now I compete in a variety of dog shows, sport competitions, and have done national commercial work with my dogs. I have worked with and taken care of dogs from newborn to geriatric. Currently I am not taking on any training clients. You can trust your pets stay will be safe and secure with someone who knows how to read even the most subtle body language cues. All dogs must be currently on a flea and tick preventative for in house care. My availability does become more limited in the spring and summer due to competitions. My availability may be more than what’s listed here, please message me to discuss your dates! I work from home 3 days a week which allows me to keep dogs out of crates and play inside or outside in the fenced yard, as well as a 25 minute walk for lunch. I have a fully fenced yard and my own dogs to keep pet sits busy playing! I always have frozen filled kongs or other puzzles for dogs to do for “quiet time” each dog is crated individually for any longer lasting treat.

About: I have experience in both senior dog/cat care, aswell as raising and training puppies ! I have had 4 dogs throughout my life. My dog Marty, who passed recently, was 18 years old. I was able to care, watch, and love him throughout his senior years , which built strength within helping care for senior dogs. Also, every one of my dogs was adopted as a puppy, which helped me gain experience in training, and taking care of puppies, as well as dogs of any age! I have pet sat for neighbors and family members countless of times, including cats, dogs, bunnies, and even lizards! With my schedule, I am available anytime after 11 am for drop ins and walks! I absolutely love working and caring for any type of animal and would love to help care for yours :) I work at a school so for right now I have tons of free time because of the summer months ! I’m free any time or day :) I do not accept dogs at my house just yet, but will be soon ! As for now, with pet care at a clients house, if allowing, I am more than willing to help clean any messes from the animals, and casual cleaning around the areas of the house I am in during my stay/visit! All I ask is for a set of guidelines on your dogs routine and assure that your pet and environment will be well cared for :)

About: Having grown up around dogs and cats, I'm comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves to play or prefers a calmer environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you're away. I work part time during the week, so I have a lot of time to care for pets, do check in’s, feed, and give extra cuddles! I live in a walkable neighborhood and a backyard with lots of space for your pet to roam around. I also live in a clean, spacious house.
