About: I've been surrounded by the pets of friends and family for my whole life, as a college student, I love petsitting over summer break! I've worked with a diverse range of animals, providing care such as baths, walks, feeding, and most importantly, cuddling! I have experience with dogs with anxiety who need medication as well. I have tons of free time over summer break, and I'd love to help out with your furry friends. Currently on summer break, so pet care would fit seamlessly into my schedule. I'm used to dedicating my summers to animal care, so driving to multiple locations for feedings/walks multiple times a day, or overnight stays, is no problem. I live in an apartment with no front or back yard but am located right across the street from a large park. It may be a little small, but there is more than enough room for animals to roam around. As for pet care outside of the home, I take these duties very seriously and am more than happy to visit multiple times a day, or as necessary. I also frequently take pictures/videos to send updates, and am happy to do so at your immediate request.

Oh goodness, I don't know where to begin! Miguel is wonderful! He kept in touch with me and if he had questions on Zona's care he reached out to me for clarity. Photos were sent to me daily with days activities! My home was secure and Zona cared for with Miguel. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Miguel!!

Liz did great !! Pups were happy & well cared for!! I wouldn’t say my dogs are hard, but I also wouldn’t say they’re the easiest. I have a five year old pup that has a lot of energy and anxiety and a 13-year-old who has G.I. issues & bone cancer. Liz did a wonderful job with both of them & I came home to wiggle butts & a clean house !! Communication was great & I’d definitely hire again!

I liked Hanna from the get-go. She paid close attention when I showed her around, giving me confidence she’d know what to do. She sent photos and updates and clearly the cats were comfortable with her. She even managed to put them in their outdoor enclosure, which is one of their favorite things. Hanna left my house tidy and clean. No complaints!

Jamie was perfect. She went above and beyond with Bernie. And somehow our place looked better when we got back than when we left. Between this and all of the sticks Bernie got on his walks I'm wondering if witchcraft was afoot! Or maybe that's just the time of year talking and Jamie is simply a great person to hire!?

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve just really cherished being around animals, even the ones who aren’t super cuddly. I have a lot of patience and respect for each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I work full time during the week and try to stay busy on the weekend, but I will absolutely work my weekend schedule around you/your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced backyard and plenty of space inside for house-trained pets to relax, whether that’s on the couch, a comfy chair, or the floor. I share my home with one dog, a terrier mix named Minnie. She’s playful and friendly, but if your dog prefers to keep to themselves, I can easily keep them separated. Older dogs sometimes find her a bit too energetic, while younger pups usually have a great time playing with her.

Camille is the best! She’s dog sat for our senior dog Rex a few times and it’s always good to know he’s well taken care of. She made him homemade treats, sends daily updates and photos and goes out of her way to be accommodating about drop off/pick up times. Would definitely recommend Camille if you’re looking for a caring , easygoing person to care for your dog!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our senior dog was fed, played with, and snuggled, and she took wonderful care of our home while we were away for Thanksgiving. When our travel plans were derailed due to weather, she even stayed an extra day without hesitation to help us out. She kept us updated with multiple photos each day and was incredibly sweet and caring throughout. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! My name is Jai (rhymes with pie) and I love animals of all kinds! I've had pets my entire life and one of my favorite things is taking them (yes, even my cats) on walks to explore the outdoors and get their exercise in. I'm a teacher looking for a fun summer side gig and I would love to not only feed and walk your pets, but play with them and show them love and affection. I am currently a teacher on summer vacation with some part-time nannying and babysitting work. My schedule is very free and clear this summer to be able to take care of you pets whenever you may need. I'm a quick learner and once I know where all the pet stuff is I will be able to provide the best quality care for them. I have experience with administering medication, as well as potty training/taking dogs out on a consistent schedule.

Jo went well above and beyond while house sitting with our pup. Our senior dog had become a bit anxious with summer thunderstorms (and was probably sad to be separated from his little brother for our trip), but Jo picked up some extra supplies from her home. She distracted him with enrichment games, like a snuffle mat and licking pad. And of course gave him lots of good love along the way. Like many other reviews noted, she took good care of our home leaving it cleaner than she found it.

Naylah is absolutely fantastic with our two Australian shepherds, one with senior needs and the younger one with high energy. She went above and beyond to take one on lengthy walks, and the other, more leisurely. Naylah is also a great communicator and took great care of our home. When we came home, our Aussies looked great, were calm and happy. Highly recommend Naylah.

She was so thoughtful every step of the way and we were very grateful to have someone we really trusted to take care of our pups and our home! We’re already booking her for more trips! Highly recommend. 🩵
