Wow! What a great experience. Kyle took awesome care of our 2 cats and we couldn’t have been happier! We appreciated how punctual he was and let us know how our fur babies were doing. I don’t trust my pets to just anyone, but I would definitely recommend and will use Kyle again. Thanks!!

About: I will make sure that I treat your dog as well as my own. I love to walk my own dogs, rain or shine, and I enjoy giving dogs the attention they need in order to be as happy as possible. I have done home visits and boarded dogs in the past for family and friends. I make sure to visit and care for them every chance I get. I do work a little outside my home but the dogs will be exercised before I leave them. I am also a runner so if you need someone to run with your dog I would love to. I am up around 4 am for feedings and to let dogs out. My morning walks are usually around 10 am. I will walk the dogs again around 8 pm before bedtime. I do have a fully fenced in yard. I have kennels I can provide if the dog needs kenneled unless it’s a large breed dog.

Austin is one of the few people I trust watching my dog. When he watches my dog he has sent me fun photos and videos. He is so caring and companionate! I am never worried about leaving my dog with him because I know he is safe. Austin also has two cats of his own that are super spoiled and he plans on getting a dog in the future.

About: The kind of care your pets deserve. I’ve worked with every size & breed of dog since age 9, always had a four legged friend living with me, I can bathe, walk, even cook for your dog! Most importantly make them feel as important as you do! I'm a vet tech, therefore I WILL know what to do in case of emergencies, I'm first aid/CPR animal certified. College classes currently are online, I have everyday, all day available for your pet! Always home, if I have to run an errand I will most likely end up taking your pup with me for the company ☺️ I have a fenced backyard, and 3 fur babies to keep your pup company, your pet will get treated like royalty, my neighborhood has bike trails everywhere your dog and mine can explore on! I also provide car rides to Starbucks to get your pup, a puppachino!! 🐾 Absolutely NO smoking is allowed in my home, your pet will not be around that. Your pet will have the right to roam freely in my home as they do at yours, If you suggest a carrier or kennel I have some or can set one up if you request it! This is a female only home, if your pet is scared of males. I also do accept reactive/aggressive dogs, if your pet does not get along with others I can accommodate to separate my pets and yours during your stay with me. I'm currently doing online college classes, and have full home time availability, if for any reason I have an appointment or an errand I have to run, where your fur baby cannot come with me, I've got a sister just as obsessed with pets as I am. Although your fur baby will not be left alone anything more than 2 hours max. 2 story home with a fenced back yard, absolutely NO smoking in my home, female only household, and daily mental and physical stimulation! Wether I'm teaching new tricks or going on miles worth of a walk, your pet will be occupied. If the stay is in YOUR home, expect a thousand updates with pictures, videos, we can even video call. I will be at your house 24/7, and if any errand needs ran I will make sure your pet gets let out before or fed before, and as well as when I come back.

Nicole and her family have taken care of our Goldendoodle, Ivy, many times over the three years Ivy has been with us. They do a fantastic job with her. She gets so excited when she realizes we are headed to their house. Ivy loves the whole family. We couldn't imagine anyone giving Ivy better care than this loving family!

About: I have always watched my family's pet while they were gone . I have had them at my house or stayed at their house. Which ever the owner preferred and what was best for their pets. I have never had a paying pet sitting job as i would never charge family, but i have watch 4 different families pet. I understand how important pet care is, and how refreshing it is to have someone you trust watching your pet while you are at work or on a trip. Having 3 dogs of my own i always want the best care for them. I'm currently a stay at home mom. I have 4 kids 3 of my 4 kids are at school and i have a 2 year old that stays with me. My husband work at home so he can watch my 2 year old if needed. I can stay for how every long you need me too. On the weekends my 8 year old does have basketball, but other than my weekends are pretty flexible as well. i have a huge fenced in back yard that my 3 dogs enjoy. My Shepard mix loves the trampoline. When i walk to pick my kids up from school i alternate walks with my dogs. 2 of my dog are crate trained. my 13 year old was crate trained but with him being older we leave him out so he can stretch his legs when need to through the night.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I have had many cats in my home and I love getting to cuddle them. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and giving medication. I love cats and dogs and wouldn't mind taking care of either one or both. I am available to help you and your pets anytime. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to take care of your animals. I can provide a nice, friendly environment and I am a very timely person so if I need to come over or your animal needs fed at a exact time I can provide that. I also follow what you are wanting and am understanding of your wishes. I take TONS of photos for you and provide exercise. As well as providing a calm/quiet environment when your animal may be anxious or scared. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule which allows me to come to your home to help with your pet anytime of day. I currently have a senior dog and a cat in my home. I give them lots of attention and cuddles. They are a bit spoiled by me! I love playing with them and keeping both of them active. I will treat your pets the same way I treat my own!

Sabrina grew up with cats and dogs. When she was still very young she would take an afternoon nap, she’d curl up on the floor by the fireplace using our chocolate lab as a pillow. And he would protect her. Since then she’s always been around dogs and cats. She has a way with pets and seems to easily make friends with them.

I have known Erin for a little over a year. I have observed her strong love of pets, both cats and dogs. She does not tolerate any abuse of a pet. She enjoys playing with her pets and caring for them. Regardless of size of the pet, she works with them well. From the care of her large dog, a Pitbull and her small dog, a Chihuahua she is good with them both. She gives them a lot of personal attention, playing with them and exercising them, in addition to providing food and water. She is extremely reliable and will attend to the pet as scheduled without exception. I would strongly recommend her to sit anyone’s pet.
