Mackenzie was great! She took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our booking so she could meet the boys, see the house, and make sure it was a good fit. We learned about her dog and were super comfortable leaving the boys (and our home) in her care. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. The boys loved her. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others.

Barb exceeded every expectation. She was polite, professional, and communicative. I had no concerns that our pet was well taken care of in our absence. I recommend her without hesitation.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve fostered dogs for a canine rescue, allowed pets to stay in my home while their owner was waiting for a new home as well as numerous pet sitting opportunities at their owner’s houses. I teach until 3pm and get home around 3.30. Depending on the day, I may have to coach or work my second job during the week. Weekends are usually more flexible but I can make almost anything work! I follow the exact instructions that the owner leaves or communicates with me, especially if it comes to meds or feedings. I enjoy caring for people’s pets as if they were my own and allows me to get my animal fix whenever possible 😊

At clients’ homes, I will carefully and respectfully follow directions on where you are most comfortable with me walking and with which equipment you feel works best for your pet.

This is who you want to care for your dogs! Fantastic experience leaving our dogs for the first time with someone not family. Zero issues. Home and dogs were well cared for and taken care of by someone who knows dogs and has experience.

Emily was awesome to work with. I have a very large, energetic German Shepherd. She was able to stay at our house with him while we were away. He does not do well at a kennel and this allowed him to stay in his own home. I immediately noticed he was calmer upon my return. Emily played with him throughout the day and kept me updated on how he was doing. Since we are in a pandemic, Emily also was kind enough to disinfect surfaces before we got home. I will absolutely work with Emily again.

About: I've interacted with all types of pets since I was a child. My experience includes 2 dog daycares (7 years total), a pet store, an animal shelter, and, most recently, running my own pet services business for 2 years. I believe in force-free training and rewarding animals for desired behavior. I have experience with cats, plus exotics like guinea pigs and reptiles. At home I have 3 cats: Hazel, Harlow, and Littles, and a guinea pig named Swirl. I'm passionate about ensuring the animals I interact with are happy and healthy. I am available to do walks, overnights, and check-ins. The more notice you can give ahead of time, the better. Thanks, and I hope to be spoiling your furbabies soon! :) I'm looking to provide personalized pet care full-time throughout the week in my general area. Please give as advanced notice as possible for ease of scheduling! I know how loved your furbabies are, so safety is of utmost importance! Knowing your pet's needs and general routine is significant to ensure they have a great experience. I strive to make the time as enjoyable as possible for your pets, so I watch them in your home where they're most comfortable.

About: Hi there! I’m passionate about caring for pets and have a background in animal healing. With professional training and experience, I can provide your pet with personalized care and attention. I enjoy helping pets socialize and can set up playdates to keep them engaged and happy. As an avid hiker, I love spending time outdoors, and I’ll ensure your furry friend gets plenty of exercise and adventure in nature. Rest assured, your pet will be in loving hands with me. Let’s connect and make sure your companion has a great time while you’re away! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, seamlessly fitting into my varied schedule. I usually start my mornings early, allowing plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m rarely gone for long periods, so your furry friends will always have my attention. I give him full attention the whole time I give them rubbed downs and play with them and check and see how they're doing And make sure they're comfortable.

About: Taken care of all pets since a very young age. I've had multiple cats my whole life and a recently passed dog aswell as fish, rats, guinea pigs, and insects. Family and friends have asked for me to pet-sit and for a year I took care of 2 adorable puppies while their parents worked late to start their business. Currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule and have absolutely no problem calling off once or twice a week(I hate my job I wish I could care for animals full time) I spoil all of my pets and have no issue with treating your babies the same way! I maintain a clean environment with advanced nutrition and probably excessive play with my tabby cat!

About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.

About: Have trained and raised 3 beautiful dogs and have family within the foster and veterinary fields. Having a few pit bulls, have basic obedience and leash walking training..we live super close to the water as well as dog parks and playgrounds and would love to help other pups have a good and safe life:) Or a cozy environment if your fur baby prefers a calm safe space. One of us works from home, mainly nights, so there is always someone around to take care of the precious pup..and our weekends consist of hikes, water adventures, less reactive trails, and movie parties! We have a closed in 3 floor apartment as well as multiple courtyards and doggy parks right around the corner from where we live. We live directly next to a school so a fenced in playground (without other dogs) is also available. We have a large and small sized crate with lots of enrichment treat, toys, galore !

Sanibel had an amazing time with Stephanie. She hung out with her 2 nights in a row during our wedding weekend. The 2nd night as soon as she saw her she was prancing her way excited to spend the night with her. Stephanie was super flexible and accommodating and we knew right away Sanibel wa in great hands. We hope she can spend some time with her again!
