About: I have a year of hands-on experience working at an animals shelter, during my time there I gained valuable insight into animal behavior, especially through fear-free handling techniques. I completed several courses focused on animal behavior and stress-free care, which has helped me build strong bonds with pets and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Additionally I have experience with fosters puppies, ensuring they receive the proper care and attention during their transition. My background has given me a deep understanding of animals needs and how to cater to them. I am currently working part time, and would love to fill remaining time during the week with more pet care jobs! I’d love to care for your fur babies to the best of my ability! I have a fully fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that could keep your fur baby entertained! I also have the capacity to separate my fur babies from yours if they need their own space!
“Kristina was wonderful! She took great care of Bowie, and he was happy and relaxed when we came home. Kristina was communicative and responsible, and left the house clean and tidy. We'd definitely book with her again.”

“Jennifer was great! She took excellent care of my kitties! They both loved her, even the shy one who usually is nervous around strangers. She was super communicative the whole time, she sent detailed updates for each visit, and she was quick to reply anytime I had a question or sent a message. She was super friendly and clearly knows cats & all animals well! I will certainly hire Jennifer to pet sit again and would highly recommend her to others!”
“Jaclyn is great! Super reliable, responds to texts right away, and sends fun updates. I'm completely confident that my kitties are in good hands. She's also been great with my last-minute scheduling habits! :-p Will definitely be continuing to hire her.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience taking care of all sorts of animals. I spend my day taking care of my dog and would love to have more pups come along for adventures I’m open 24/7 for sitting opportunities. I usually am around for holidays as well. Feel free to message me for additional details or accommodations, thanks! I live in the heart of auburn, in a safe neighborhood. I ensure that your dog(s) will have a safe, relaxing environment while also exercising accordingly.
“Haley took excellent care of my cats while I was out of town. Knowing they were taken care of really allowed me to relax and enjoy time away. I’d 100% book again, and would recommend to others who need reliable care. Haley also sends really great photos during check-ins - what a bonus! :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, I've been involved in taking care of and training them. I have also worked at a doggie daycare and done house sitting/dog watching for friends and relatives. I love all animals, especially dogs and I will treat anyone of them like they were my own. I work only part time and have a pretty open schedule. My hours are flexible so in this season I have an abundance of availability for your pets. I will play with and walk you're pets and anything else they might need. I will give them their food and medicine as you instruct and make sure they always have access to water. I will also help them feel as happy and comfortable as they can be while they wait for you to come back!
