Karen watched our 3 crazy pups for the long holiday weekend. We came home to 3 happy babies who spent the past few days cuddling and playing with their new best friend. She left our house immaculate and even weeded our whole walkway in the back of house. Our pups had plenty of play and potty breaks and a great weekend. She made them feel safe through the thunder storm and the fireworks as well. I would recommend Karen to anyone!

I highly recommend Jenni L. She and her partner Matt work together, and for this visit, Matt stayed with our beloved cat for several days. I cannot say enough about how reassuring it was to hear from him and see the pictures and videos that he sent of our cat and of the two of them together. Clearly, she loved him and felt very comfortable with him. We will definitely hire them again!

Sarah was great! It was my first time she sat overnight for my cat Katrina, but not the last! Sarah went above and beyond to take care of Katrina providing her with the special feeding instructions and giving her the affection she craved! Sarah also kept in touch morning and evening with photos and updates on anything I needed to know about what Katrina was doing and how Katrina was eating and what was going on with the house. I really appreciate having Sarah as an overnight petsitter for Katrina!

About: I'm currently training for a marathon so I love running in the park frequently. If your dog is super energetic, I would love to run with him/her to tire them out so that they will be calmer at home. Back when I had my dog Archie, I would run with him everyday so that he would sleep well at night. I've also had experience with training puppies such as potty training and simple commands. I'm patient when it comes to training. I'm currently a WFH software engineer so I have plenty of time to make sure your dog gets all the attention he/she needs! I am currently a WFH software engineer so I can take care of your dog basically anytime provided a day or two notice in advance. I have a big backyard which would allow your dog plenty of space to run around. I also do have a couple of younger cousins who love dogs too and they are willing to also help make sure your dog gets all the attention that he/she needs.

About: I have cared for both cats and dogs throughout my life, from cleaning litter boxes to administering medications there are many skills I have gained through my experiences. I wouldn't consider myself to be a "dog" or "cat" person because I love them all the same, I could not possibly choose! I currently work full-time in adult care, and am available Monday and Tuesday after 5 pm, Wednesday after 8:30 pm, Thursday and Friday after 5 pm, and Saturday and Sunday any time. I am able to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home and keep them in their normal routines or in any way needed.

Kathleen did a wonderful job taking care of our animals (3 dogs) and did some extra cleanup for us. She sent us pics and took some extra time to not only watch after the guinea pigs, hamster and mouse, but even cleaned out their stinky cages. It was obvious that the dogs were comfortable with her. Thanks Kathleen. We appreciate all you did for us.

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My job ends at 3:30pm, allowing me flexibility in afternoons and evenings, while being totally free on weekends to tend to any dog or cat. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.

About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.
