“We were so glad Kolton was able to watch Wally after such a wonderful first experience. This time did not disappoint!!! Kolton was professional and caring, and very communicative the whole time we were away. We are so lucky to have a sitter who enjoys our Wally so much. Kolton's stay with Wally allowed us to truly enjoy our time away.”
“Another great stay! My girl does not like people but she loves Aaron-Joshua. No ever gets to pet her but she lets Aaron-Joshua pet her. My two babies are always well taken care of.”
About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.
“Gabby was great, very responsive! Loved that we always heard back quickly, and her responses were always positive and kind. We felt her pricing was fair and appreciated her flexibility when we asked to add overnight visits to our booking! My sister helped check on the dogs when Gabby wasn’t there and they were always happy and seemed great! Nice to have someone snuggling our babies while we were gone!”
About: I do have a cat of my own and a bunny and always dog sit my family dog Capone he’s about two and an half years old! And a pitbull mix, I do have references! I can start in August mostly around 3pm until whenever! I’m very flexible with time and dog sitting or cat sitting I can do Mondays-Fridays! I always take care of my cat and bunny in the mornings and always give them my time attention after work and make sure they have fresh water and entertainment and treats!
“It is such a comfort knowing that Amanda is watching my animals when I’m gone! She does an excellent job sending photos and communicating with me! I will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“So thankful for Ashley watching Remi during the holiday (and especially in this bitter cold)! We would not have been able to enjoy our Florida vacation without her! As much as I hate leaving him, I know he was in great hands with her! ?”
“Josh took such good care of our two golden retrievers during a 10-day trip. He’s very communicative, responsible, and sent us regular updates about our girls. Josh is a wonderful pet sitter and we will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗 I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I do pick ups and drop offs !! I work in VETMED at a local Veterinary clinic part time . So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I also do drop in during my work day as well. !!
