About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

I had a last minute trip and called Nina last minute and of course she could assist me since she is retired. She did a great job watching Jack and kept me informed. I am so happy I have found Nina she is a life saver and all my dogs love her!

We really liked Katie and our dog, Skyy, seemed to like her too. During our first meeting, she was friendly, engaged and asked the right questions. Before and while house/dog sitting for us, she was communicative which gives owners confidence. And during her stay, she sent us pictures of Skyy. She is a bright young lady and we felt the house and dog were in good hands!

Alora did a great job with Penny. She stayed at our place and it was clean and our pup seemed very happy and relaxed. Alora sweetly took our garbage out for us, as well. Will use her again! Thanks Alora!

About: What sets me aside from my competitors is that Im reliable, affordable and kind ! I have passion for animals and love meeting new paw friends, I have 3 trained dogs at home that I cherish with every bone in me. I absolutely love working with animals and having the extra company. Growing up I’ve always loved not just dogs but all sorts of animals, I have so much love to give and cannot wait to meet your paw babies! I’m currently a full time student and I work a part time job. I usually work mid day but varies every week. I enjoy working with all types of different fur babies and I am so excited to give my extra time and energy to them! Feel free to message me to figure out a time that works for the both of us! Always making sure that your pet is in my sight and never unattended is key to making sure that your pet is always safe. Whether that is interacting or observing them . In my home I make sure my smallest inside dog has a clean water bowl each morning and take her outside to do her business, we enjoy taking morning rides and running errands together. My all time favorite part of being a dog mom is getting to take naps together and cuddle while watching movies !

About: Growing up on the farm, there was no shortage of canines in my life starting very early. Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all! I’m an artist with a very flexible schedule looking to fill a need in my community! I can accommodate nearly every shape and size of situation—especially holidays and last minute bookings! As someone with very high standards, I only wish to provide the services that I absolutely expect for my pets! You can always count on me to follow your instructions thoroughly and to the letter; your pet’s healthy and safety and your satisfaction as an owner is of the utmost importance to me!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I've handled different kinds of breeds. All dogs have different personalities and I've been able to adapt to all. I'm good at paying close attention to detail if I notice something if off when it comes to my clients pets. I treat all their pets as if they were my own! I am currently working towards school and I am unemployed at the moment. I have an open availability, unless I have another client during that time. I have an open backyard with a fence for my dogs to run around. One of my dogs is playful and the other is on the reserved side. I make sure they get all their energy out! In my clients home, I make sure there are frequent potty breaks and playtime. I also make sure your house stays cleaned as far as toys & such.

Daisy was an absolute delight! Organized, great communication, very conscientious, and left the house exactly as she found it. My labradors loved her and they received plenty of attention. She played fetch, swam with them, and even snuggled once they were tired from their play date! I would definitely use her again.

Lesley C as pet sitter… She is very responsible and truthful. She sent me a lot pics from my babies. Updated twice a day about meals and they routine. Lesley C slept in the same bed with my seniors and anxious babies, just for calm they down.🩷 Lesley C is kind with dogs with a special needs. She spoiled them- in the good way🩷 On my return, I found the house exactly as I left- she washed the dogs blankets and beds.🩷 My dogs were happy and very well care. I really appreciated everything what she have done to us. Had Lesley C as pet sitter for two weeks- 15 days- was amazing experience. Thank you so much Lesley C for help me to had a relax vacation 🙏🩷 I super recommend Lesley C Thank you once again 🙏

Makayla so obviously loves animals! Our 11 month old Lab “puppy” is crazy about her and could care less when my husband and I leave. I don’t need to worry at all while we’re away, plus we get photos and updates too. She’s intelligent, caring and personable. We will most definitely call on her again. Jan &Tex Billings

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was raised around animals and treat them all like they are my own. I have experience with puppies, dog walking, and managing multiple dogs at one time. I currently work full time at a school but I like to take care of animals when I am free. I have a lot of time off and my weekend is open for any fur baby that needs me. I think trust is important when it comes to animals. Animals need to smell you first to get to know you. I always let an animal smell my hand and then I’ll ease into petting them once I can tell from body language if they want me to.

About: I got both of my dogs when they were 3 months old, so I know how to potty train, leash train, and teach basic commands. I am able to give medications if needed and I know how to deal with even the stubborn dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I'll have plenty of time to play with and check on your furry friends during the day/week! I always let the pet make the first move to build trust and recognition. I am a very attentive person and will be sure to make certain the pet has plenty of food, water, comfort, and engagement at all times.

Was able to help us when our last sitter without notice. Sent lots of pics and communicated throughout the two nights and days he was there. Brought my dogs pup cups and treats. Cleaned up after them. Handled my high energy puppy. I wish I would have had time to give you more instructions for the dogs to help make the experience easier on him. But he was a trooper and we really appreciated him! Would book again!
