“My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.”
About: I've been trusted to take care of pets for friends, family, and coworkers over the past 5+ years. My experience includes walking, feeding, boarding, grooming and giving medicine to medium to large sized dogs. I'm most familiar with Germand Shepards, Golden Retrievers, and Huskies. I'm confident your beloved pet, no matter the size or disposition, will be in safe hands for even the smallest task! I'm currently a full-time college student and working part-time a few days out of the week, but my schedule remains flexible to meet your pet care needs! I understand leaving your pet with a stranger is not always ideal and can be very hard on both you and your furry (or not furry) family member. Rest assured, I genuinely enjoy taking care of animals of all kinds and deeply respect each owners wishes for care. With this, I find it extremely important to communicate all your pets needs and your own personal preferences to ensure you both recieve the best possible experience.
About: I am a reliable and experienced dog walker/sitter who loves spending time with furry friends. I aim to ensure that each dog gets plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention during their walks. My goal is to always show patience, kindness, and attentiveness to the needs of each individual dog. You can trust that your beloved pups are in good hands with me as their dog walker and/or sitter. I have been watching pups for over 7 years and find so much joy in creating connections with fur babies of all kinds. I have two dogs of my own at home, who are my pride & joy, and promise to take care of yours just as I do mine. In addition to loving on fur babies, I work full time in an office Monday - Friday! I am available after 4:30pm every evening and available all weekends. I provide nutritious food, regular exercise, grooming, and affection. Create a safe and comfortable environment, train and socialize, and prioritize their health and well-being above all else.
About: I'm so pleased you stumbled across my page and I look forward to working with you! I've grown up with animals from big to small and love them all! I currently have 2 dogs, Hank and Peyton. We live on a farm but they definitely get a luxury experience like they are children because, well they are! Previously I have watched our family and friends dogs from Yorkie to great danes we love them all. We as well as our own dogs believe in homegrown honesty love and respect. Always willing to go the extra mile and as you might have already guessed always looking to add new friends to our family. We just want to say thank you for reading a little bit about us, and God Bless!

Vanessa M.
“Hello! I think Vanessa would be a great pet sitter. She has a strong love for animals and owns two cats herself which are well taken cared of. I’ve had her watch my two cats and dog while I was on vacation before and she did an excellent job at following my pet care instructions. My older cat Arti has medication he needs to take and she would give me updates per my request. I was very grateful having her around while I was away for my trip! I highly recommend her care.”
Tiffany S.
“Tiffany and her family were so welcoming to Josey! It totally shows that they love animals.”

“Rebecca W. is the perfect candidate to watch and care for your pets! Not only is she a dog mom of 3 pups but she volunteers her time at the local humane society. She is gentle and loving with every animal she comes in contact with and knows how to cater to their needs. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
