How much do you value feeling at ease when you’re away from home and your pets? Chelsea offers that value and more. She brought a warm and friendly energy to what can be a stressful prospect, and she gave an exceptional level of care to our dogs and our home. We came back to a pair of dogs whose faces said, “Oh hi! Don’t get us wrong, we’re happy to see you, but when do we see Chelsea again?”

Anna was fantastic with my cat! She did drop in visits as well as house sitting. I got daily updates and photos and felt like she took such good care of him. I’m typically very anxious when I leave my cat, but I felt so relaxed when Anna was there. Would highly recommend Anna to take care of your pets!

About: Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres were a had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my 2 lovely current mutts. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade. I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a healthy dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly jogs and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about. A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. All training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.

Kay did a fabulous job of keeping Wally company while we were out for 3 days! I so appreciated her willingness to stay at our house and have a couple meet-and-greet visits before we were out. Her years of dog-sitting experience and the emergency situations she's navigated with other dogs gave me peace of mind that she could handle any situation that came up with Wally. Overall a great experience for our first time away from our puppy!

About: I grew up with three dogs and volunteering weekly at the animal shelter. I’ve had big dogs and love them! I have also been the designated dog sitter in college among my friends as well as done some fostering. I used to train a lot of dogs as well at the shelter and have taken some courses in dog training. I’m very comfortable with all breeds and sizes! I’m currently taking a summer course and preparing for medical school! I have free afternoons and mostly free weekends. I’d love to hang out with your pets in my free time! I have a spacey apartment but can easily travel and spend time with your pets in your homes! I’m happy to sit there in their company while doing work and give them lots of love or bring them for lengthy walks nearby! I love being active with pets if needed!

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life as I grew up with them, and habitually house sat and walked dogs since graduating from Duke 5 years ago! I'm currently in graduate school so I have a flexible schedule for caring for your pets as needed, whether it be walks or feeding or just spending good quality time! As a medical student and former teacher, personal responsibility is something I am very familiar with. I am reliable and promise to send plenty of pictures of your pets while they are in my care!

Alessandria is an amazing pet parent and has plenty of experience with pet care and does a fantastic job. We have worked together both as pet sitters and in a kennel environment. She is always fun and happy to see the animals and makes it a great time for them. She is punctual, a hard worker and great at self delegating. I would entrust her to care for my own pets any time and have relied on her to do so on many occasions. When caring for my own pets she has been wonderful at treating them as her own and making sure to keep me update while I am away. I have no doubt she would be a vital addition to your team if given the chance.

Lucie took such an amazing care of Miso. I was really skeptical of leaving my dog with anyone I don’t know, but she showed that she really does care for the dog. Miso absolutely adored her and I got photo updates a couple of times a day everyday! Definitely recommend her. She won’t disappoint. Also, your dog might end up wanting to stay with her longer to play.
