Kiersten was responsible, respectful and followed my requests to care for my dog Santos. I was happy to receive pictures daily of Santos smiling! Kiersten is easy to talk with and feel comfortable with her taking care of Santos. Will book her again 😊

Took great care of our Kitty and was very communicative during the process. We were gone for 10 days and it was the best mood our cat has been in after returning from a long trip

Dawn was so caring and attentive to my cat's needs. He has epilepsy and requires meds twice a day. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving him, but Dawn really took care of him and came twice a day to give him his meds and spend time with him. She also wrote whenever he used the litter box, drank water, and ate food. I definitely recommend her to anyone who has cats with medication needs.

About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all species and breeds. Most recently, I spent the summer interning at an animal sanctuary, where I tended to the over 300 animals that required care. Many of those animals were sick or injured, so I have a particular capability and fondness for caring for senior animals or pets with special needs. I also have dog-walking experience, including dogs with vision-impairment and chronic illnesses. I have grown up with pets my entire life, so I have lots of experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I love long walks, and am more than happy to accommodate your furry friend's desired activity level. I am incredibly punctual, reliable, and enthusiastic; you can count on me to go above and beyond to provide the safety, comfort, mental and physical stimulation, and love that your pet deserves. Generally, my weekly availability is: From 6:00 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Before 8 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday-Friday. Depending on what you ask me to do, I'm happy to take your pet on walks of your preferred length/level of intensity, drop by to provide food, water, games, cuddles, and company, and administer medication. I'm really happy to do whatever tasks are needed of me, just let me know!

Brian is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Brian was able to help calm him and walk him or just hang out at the house with him when he needed a nap. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Brian was flexible and understanding. You are a life safer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.

About: My family has rescued animals my whole life, and I have worked with all kinds of animals professionally since my very first job at a dog groomer. Since then, I've spent most of my time working at emergency animal vets, with foster dogs, and at doggie daycare! I love working with all species of animals and will treat yours just like my own! I'm here to make sure your pets feel happy, loved, and safe while you're away. I currently have a pretty open schedule and am looking to care for pets full time. I can easily do late nights and early mornings! When I stay in your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they're fed on time, exercised, and getting lots of attention (and cuddles if they want them!) I pay close attention to each pet's needs and act accordingly. I pride myself on being dependable and having strong communication skills. I will always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have always loved taking care of all types of Animals since I was a little kid. From taking them out to go potty during, talking them on walks, or just simply hanging out with them in the home so they are not to lonely when the owners are away. I also have experience working in a vets office. I work in the school district, because of this I have lots of time during the summer months to help take care of your fur babies. Although I am unable to watch pets in my home I would be happy to come to you. If you have a safe yard to play in we could hang out there and throw the ball around or just bask in the sun with lots of pets and belly rubs. I love nature as much as I do animals so I would also love to take them on different adventures around the neighborhood as well

Cristina was absolutely wonderful with my dog during her visits! She truly went out of her way to take care of him, making sure he felt comfortable, loved, and entertained the entire time. She played with him, gave him lots of attention, and treated him like her own. I could tell he had an amazing time. It honestly felt like he was on vacation while I was away! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Cristina again for future visits. Highly recommend!
