Will definitely use him again in the future.”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a little girl. In 2007 I started working in doggy daycare and then started pet sitting and dog walking. In 2019 I became a dog trainer. I work as a vet teach I am flexible with my schedule. I do house sitting on weekends. I can do some weekdays we just have to work it out. I can open to dog walks and drop ins 24/7. When I come to your place I would make sure your fur baby in comfortable and have as much fun as you would with them.
“Our dog thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Craig! Our dog cannot wait for another play date and it was great for us knowing he was in such great hands. Would highly recommend!”

About: We are a 2 person team of Jaleah and Drew. We both grew up having dogs of many different sizes and can handle almost anything if communicated! We’d love to give your pet exercise, cuddles, or whatever they need! Drew wakes up around 5 am and will be able to take your pet out and when Jaleah wakes up around 7, they’ll go out again. Drew gets off work at 1 and will take them on a long walk. When Jaleah gets off work around 5, we usually go for another evening walk. We live in an apartment but are near many trails and even have access to a mini dog park. We are very responsible with pets. We will make sure they’re cared for and will follow any directions given to us. We have a variety of skills with dogs so there’s a good chance I can do whatever you need! We will treat your pets as if they were our own!
About: I volunteered at the Animal Rescue League for several years. I have worked with dogs and cats and other small animals. I grew up with dogs and cats and birds. I have pet sat for years, and I’d love to help with your furry friends too. I will love your furry family members like they’re my own. I will take the time to introduce myself and let them come to me. I will never force an interaction. But I will play with them as much as they want. I would love to take pictures and videos of your pet to send you while you are away so you can know that your animals are still happy and healthy and well cared for. Just let me know what you would like. Please let me know how I can help make your time away easier. I work but my job is flexible so let me know your schedule and we’ll see if it will work. I’m usually available whenever you like on weekends. I will sit for cats, small dogs and houses as needed. I live in a condo now, but it’s a great neighborhood with great walking trails and green spaces. It’s a great place for walks. Lots of dogs nearby too so lots of interesting smell options on the walks.
“Jodie and her girls were great with our dog Luna. We never had any concerns that she wasn’t in good hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and did a craft with her. Luna had a great time, and I would recommend Jodie to watch anyone’s dog, we will use her again for sure.”

“I can tell Tiffany loved my dogs like they were her own. She even got my picky dog to eat her food! Will definitely ask Tiffany to watch the dogs the next time I need a sitter.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 for my neighbors during the summer. Later on, during high school, my family adopted a dog as we planned to train her to be a service dog for my sister. I helped care for Lexi and even taught her some tricks like shake in exchange for belly rubs. I could also help with Pet Transportation and Pet Walking. I'm currently enrolled in college but am free every weekend. I am also available Monday and Friday nights. However, I do not currently own a pet, but I have had to care of my sibling's pets since they were younger and often forgot to do it. I have cared for my sister's dog Lexi and my brother's hermit crabs, and will sometimes take care of my aunt's dogs. I am often good with pets after meeting them. I normally list down important information related to the pets. I also often ask for more detail on how I can accommodate the client's pet.
“Great experience and good opportunity to have our dog play with other dogs while we are away. Very fun dogs. Brenda & Michael very attentive to dog's needs. Will definitely book again!”

About: I grew up as a farm girl and worked hard! I've always been around farm animals and our dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I took care of family and neighbor pets and did so also in my adult life. right Right now I'm working a couple of part time jobs. I would be available over most weekends. Once and a while over a 5 day period. I can do drop in check ups and potty breaks in middle of day and after 6 evenings. ok I would mainly be doing the sitting in the clients home as well as just stopping in for just potty breaks and well check-ups. Once in awhile I could do care in my townhome for small pets over the weekend.
