About: I have grown up with dogs since before I was born and have a cat of my own as well. I started dog sitting at the age of 15 and soon moved onto cat sitting as well because I LOVED it!! I had two chihuahuas growing up (who sadly have already passed away) and have raised two large dogs and a cat now since they were all babies. I have experience with dogs and cats from the ages of 3 months to 17 years old and will always make sure to treat every animal with love, care, and kindness! I am a massage therapist so I will be working on my full days off to make sure to have a full day open to ample potty breaks and attention! I will follow the schedule that you have for feeding, walks, and/or medicine that you need for your furry friend. All you have to do is let me know!

“Jamie did a wonderful job with our cat! She sent detailed messages and pictures each day. We were very happy with her services and would definitely use her again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, pet sat around my neighborhood, throughout college I walked multiple dogs and stayed at people's homes with their dogs, and now own 2 of my own! I absolutely love dogs and expect the highest care if someone was watching my dogs, so that's what I promise to provide to other's dogs as well. I work from home so I am able to go over to walk them or spend time with them at any point in the day. My husband and I live together, so I am available for overnight stays at your house to keep your dogs in their own element while you are out of town as well. I care for other's pets like my own. I understand the love an owner has for their dogs, and I care for them as much as I would expect someone to care for my dogs. I know the stress of finding a reliable sitter while you may be out of town or working long hours, so I provide updates and photos when I get there and leave so there are no questions on your end.
About: I have raised dogs since I was 10 years old. I have had various breeds from poodles to pit bulls. I cared for family member dogs when they were away. This is how I earned my allowance as a young child and teenager. Currently I have a 1yr. old red moyen poodle. I am totally in love w/my Ruby girl.We have gone tru much training together. My last dog Gigi lived to 17 yrs. and had some Med. issues at the of life, so equiped to deal w/senior dogs as well.precious I am now retired so I have plenty of free time. Ruby has standing dates every Saturday @Dog Park, plus we go on walks and have play-time with her many toys.Your dogs will be welcome to join in as much, or as little as they like. Ruby knows all on leash commands and is also crate-trained, but does not stay in one while at home. It would be available should your dog need it. Dogs are allowed on the furn. and on the bed, as this is where we cuddle & get kisses. My home is dog friendly in all ways, Ruby has a special fenced-in backyard just for her & playmates.Your dogs will LOVE-IT HERE !!!
