“This was our first time using Alejandra and I can confidently say this will not be our last. She is prompt to respond to requests and provided great communication throughout her visit with your pet. She provides many photos and videos and gives a detailed report. My puppy Luna was a little nervous upon first meeting Alejandra, but during the visit she did great! Thank you for caring for our puppy!”

About: I've been in the animal field for 25 years and in the veterinary specific field for almost 20. I have a special interest in senior or special needs kitties and can easily administer medications and subcutaneous fluids. I'm patient and flexible and work well with owners to provide specific care needs for your critter companions and family members. I work full time currently at a veterinary clinic but am available early mornings, evenings, and afternoons when not scheduled. Available most weekends and holidays as well. I am patient and understanding of all varieties of animals, but have a special bond with feline companions. I work well with even the spiciest or scared kitties to make them comfortable and safe while in my care.
“Victoria was so attentive to my puppy and provided a BUNCH of pictures and updates. I was very nervous leaving my puppy with someone new for the first time, but Victoria was understanding and made it as smooth as possible. Jasper was in a great mood and slept really well that night after we got home. Will definitely be rebooking with her for regular walks.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!
About: Thank you for visiting my page! 🤍 my name is Kinzie! I have tons of animal experience within the past 5 years. I used to previously host my own in home dog sitting using rover.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I am new to the area and would love to have some canine warmth in my life. Currently missing my dogs who live with my parents. One is a pure bred border terrier, Sadie, and the other is a mutt from the pound, Charlie. I moved to the area for graduate school. I have classes throughout the week and would be able to care for pets before and after classes. I have another part-time gig as a soccer trainer, which doesn't take up more than 2-3 hours a day. I live in an apartment with a dog park. There are also trails around my complex. I do not have anything like crates or cages in my unit for dogs.
“Paige is FANTASTIC. My GR puppy Samson is very high energy and needs walked during the day. Paige has been very receptive to his changing health needs this past week too and was more than willing to help administer medication if he needed it during the day. You will NOT regret booking with Paige. She has been my life saver with my busy job. I know Sam loves her too, he’s always tuckered after their walks!”

About: *Please read everything first* Hi y'all !! Thanks for checking me out! So first off love animals lol All of them. So I'm reliable enough to stay at your house if needed so I can provide the best care for your Fur babies. I'm comfortable with all ages of dogs and cats. Guinea pigs, Hamsters, bunnies. If your dog is timid or maybe fear bites I'm patient. I'll do whatever I have to to keep your pets environment as it is when you guys are home. I adapt to the dogs vibe and I follow special directions well for those special ones on special diets. I know how to do things like bathe, brush teeth, clean ears, give medications , etc. I love all animals and I would looove to help take care of your fur babies. Animals are something that I take very serious. I've had pups and kitties of my own almost my whole life and I've had bunnies and guinea pigs. I've also dog sat before. Animals mean a very great deal to me and you really wouldn't go wrong with hiring me. Let's meet so you can learn more about me and get a more clear schedule set up. You can't let just anyone watch your babies!! *PLEASE READ* For dog owners* I am probably best for you on the weekends. I work all hours of the day during the week and can't make any guarantees I'll be off at certain time to let dogs out. All of my care would have to be in the afternoon/nights/early mornings. I'm free all weekends. For cat owners- since cats don't need to be let out multiple times a day, I am good for you. I will be there too feed twice a day and clean litter boxes. At this current moment I do not have my own place therefore I will not be boarding any animals with me. All care will have to be in home stay or check ins.
About: I love pet! and I have been spending my life with them since I was young. I have dogs as my pet now and I used to pet cats before, so I don't mind taking care of cats :) I've been with puppies, aging dogs, and disabled dogs. I like teaching some tricks for them! My dogs know how to roll, wait, speak, lay down, and give a hand :D I love to see them well-groomed! so If you want me to make them smell good, I would love to take a bath for them. If your dogs are energetic, I don't mind taking them to do activities, such as running. If your dogs stay overnight with me, I would use them as my bear lol
About: I have many years of animal care experience. I have worked at animal boarding facilities as well as humane shelters. I also volunteer at the local zoo and animal shelter. I am going to school to be a veterinarian. I currently work a veterinary hospital. I would love to spend time with your pets! I am working part time and will be in school. so I will make plenty of time for your pets needs and am willing to be flexible I have two cats and a rabbit while I am away at school. When I go home for visits I also have two dogs that I help care for. I am comfortable with a wide variety of pets you may have!

About: I know first hand how important a pet is. They are not just a pet they are part of the family. I will make sure that the love, attention and affection lasts even when you are away. I have a huge love for animals and knowing I’m helping give your fur baby the love they deserve while keeping them out of the a stressful boarding environment makes me very happy! I have a very flexible schedule on my days off work. I work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and every other Saturday. My fiancé is amazing and more than willing to help me care for your pet if needed. He is as much an animal lover as me. I have had dogs all of my life so I am very familiar with what it takes to care for them. I am signing up for my dog training certification as well to help further my knowledge on dog behavior. My dream is to work with animals and this is the perfect opportunity. I work full time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and every other Saturday. I am flexible on my days off. However, If your home is close enough to my work I can always do a drop in during my lunch break to check on your pet and let them out to potty and play. I always try to stick to the closest routine your pet is used to as possible to help reduce any stress and anxiety that your pet may experience while you are away.
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs so I have a special place in heart for them. I have grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them my whole life. I have cared for many types of dogs in a professional setting for the last 4 years so I know the struggles and also the joys of caring for pets. Friends, family and clients have trusted me to feed, water, play, walk, medicate, and take full care of their pets whatever their needs my be. But, more than that, they have trusted me to take care of their homes by bringing in the mail and packages, staying at night, and cleaning their homes and up after the pets. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a part time student which allows me to have much flexibility in my schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets! I care for pets in my clients home by doing any and all care my client enlists me to do. I take joy in every dog sitting job that I do and just absolutely love every minute of it. I take precautions by meeting the family and pets before agreeing to dogsit to ensure it would be a good fit the both of us. I always make sure I have up to date contact information for the client and their vet. Every dog sitting job is different but I would say an average day would look like letting the dogs out first thing in the morning and refilling water and the food bowl if necessary. Then, I'll take them for a walk and play with them, let them outside midday, play with them some more, give them a few treats to see what kind of tricks they can do, probably lots of belly rubs in between, and then feed them dinner and water. Lastly, I would take them outside right before we go to bed.
“As always, James provided Ava with great care and an excellent experience. He is a great communicator and his advice has helped me tremendously! He is absolutely reliable, trustworthy, and a pro at what he does. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

About: Have experience with caring for multiple pets at once, including puppies, elderly cats & dogs, & diabetic pets. Would love to help take care of your family members! I WFH and set my own schedule, so I'm very flexible in regards to my house sitting availability! As for walking, mostly available during the week but can negotiate for weekends in certain cases. I do not pet sit in my own home because I have cats of my own, but have a lot of experience house/pet sitting in clients homes and can provide references.
About: Hi! My name is Bridgette, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years. In addition to working for a boarding facility in the area I am the go to pet sitter for friends and family. I have extensive hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and other small animals, including senior pets and those with special needs. Through years of caring for animals I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and wellness. I know how to recognize signs of stress or illness, introduce pets safely to new environments, and create a calm, comfortable atmosphere for even the most anxious pets. I understand that every animal is unique, and I’m committed to providing personalized, compassionate care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own! I am currently very open in my schedule. I am available days, nights, weekends, and holidays. Whether it is drops ins for a walk or doing a combined dog and house sitting I am available. When I am caring for a pet I devote 100% of my energy to them, whether that be playing fetch in the yard, going for walks, or even just hanging out with them and letting them chill out. I do whatever your furry friend prefers. I do not have any animals at home right now so having an animal who doesn't like fellow pets is no problem.
