“Our travel plans ended up changing multiple times because of the snow, and Ryan was super flexible and understanding and watched our pup for an extra two days without complaint! He’s the best!”
About: I’ve owned a dog for about 6 years, but I’ve been around dogs and cats for my whole life. I have experience with food aggression, and things of that nature. Above all, I’m extremely patient and willing to take the best care of your pet! I work 3 days a week, and am usually available 4 days a week, as well as early or later on the days that I do work. My dog is a high energy Australian shepherd. We go for 2+ mile walks daily as well as other forms of mental stimulation! I have no problem taking your dog on a long walk or playing typical pet games!
“Kathy is awesome! We needed someone to watch our three cats over the Thanksgiving holiday and she made us feel so comfortable to travel away from our boys! Great communication, lovely pictures! Thank you!!”
“Samantha is AMAZING! She was so good with our high maintenance kitty and followed all of our directions. She even searched all of her hiding spots so she could check on her and send us a pic. Would recommend!!”
“Jessica did a great job looking after my fur babies while I was out of town. She made sure to reach out if she had questions and gave my kittens lots of treats and play time!”
“Ashlyn was great with my cat. She sent me as many pictures as I wanted and was very nice. I felt much better traveling knowing I can trust someone else to take care of him the way I do. You can tell she cares about your pet(s); will most definitely be using her services again! Highly recommend!!”
About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog
About: I love dogs so much. My girl is part of the family. I do have a yard leash I use to ensure your pet is safe. I'd be more than glad to meet up in advanced or do a trial day. Please understand my dog is very important to me and my lifeline, so I understand how important your loved one is to you. I am a new mother and want to find a way to stay home with my little one. Thats why im looking for regular customers to care for. I do work during the day but I am able to run home if need be. My boyfriend is home during the day to be with the baby. That is why I want someone who can play with Ellie and keep her company durring those times. I enjoy running so ai can take the dogs with me. I let them have the run of most of the house. I close the bedroom doors when I'm gone but otherwise their free to tear up, chew, and run to their hearts content.

About: I have had animals of my own my whole life. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. One of my dogs takes thyroid medicine so I am familiar with administering medicine. I have cared for family and neighbor pets: both cats and dogs. I love playing and spending time with animals, so your pet will for sure get lots of loving!! I work most days during the week but am available for evenings if needed! Weekends are where I can really help you out if needed. I am available Fridays after 1pm through Sunday. I care for the pets in my clients home by taking them out to go potty, making sure they have food and water and making sure they get all the loving before I leave. If the client requests something specific then I will accomodate for their request the best I possibly can!
“My boyfriend and I went on vacation for a week and booked Heather to take care of our two cats. She was absolutely lovely, sent tons of pictures, communicated promptly, and was very accommodating. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, I strongly recommend booking with Heather!!”

Genesys was great! If I need someone to check on my little guy while traveling again, I know who to rebook. Genesys was reliable and communicative, and also diligent when attending to unexpected snags in the beginning - such as my cat's bumpy first day without me there, and figuring out schedule / communication with a 6 hour time difference. We hit a good flow, my cat warmed up to Genesys quickly, and I came home after 2 weeks to a happy little fellow!
