“I’m so glad I found Dina! She took great care of my timid and fearful dog Buddy. He usually doesn’t let people near him, but Dina was able to bond with him! It was so nice to see the update pics of him being so close to her! I was able to enjoy Christmas with family, knowing Buddy was in great hands! Dina is caring, trustworthy and kind! Buddy will definitely be seeing her again!”
“Trustable, dependable, friendly, competent, compassionate, knowledgeable. Zania is everything one would want in a pet sitter. My babies were loved and didn’t even notice that I was gone!”
“Samantha was absolutely great! I loved all the notes and pictures every day, it made me feel a lot better leaving them for an extended period being able to know how they’re doing. And I really appreciated that she took the time to play with them with their respective favorite toys! Would definitely book her again!”
“Katya is the best! She does a great job taking care of our shy finicky cat whenever we are away. She had taken care of Pepper on several occasions and has our highest recommendation!!”
“Erin is fabulous! She’s a natural with my kitties. They came right up to her and always wanted pets from her. She sent pictures and told us what was up. She even fed our outside animals and bearded dragon. I was able to vacation and not worry about my animals. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I am home most of the day and my children spend 50% of their time with me. I have a small fenced-in backyard and love short walks around the neighborhood. I take online classes, run a small cleaning business, and drive for Lyft, so my schedule is very flexible, and I am at home most of the day. Pets are free to roam the house and be anywhere except for my bed, unless it's a little dog : ) I have had a few dogs multiple times, as the owner knows their pet is well taken care of in my home.
About: I know what it feels like to try to find the right sitter to make sure your pet is safe and taken care of. As someone who has worked at PetSmart and has always had a passion for animals, I will make sure of comfortability within you and your pet! As someone who would love to work with animals full time, I have open availability. I do have my own fur babies so I am available after 10 am. I will do as told as long as I have it written for me. Communication is important for me so as long as it's communicated to me, it most certainly will be done.
About: For my senior year of high school I went to a trade school to get my vet assistant certification. I graduated and received my certificate. In the program I was taught basic grooming nails, ears, and even shaving. Everyday we would walk the classroom dogs and interact with them. After high school I worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months before I ended up without a car and wasn’t able to drive the distance to work anymore. Looking for something to do on the side as I work a full time job but never wanted to give up working with animals as it’s my passion. I have a almost year old Pitsky puppy (pitbull/husky) named Dior. He is my such a sweetheart and loves to be around other dogs as well. Over the years I have watched my coworkers dogs, my uncles dog when he got fixed and had to wear a cone during the day so my uncle wasn’t able to watch him since he had to work, etc. I can’t wait to meet and interact with your furry friends and give them a special place in my heart as well💕 I work full time during the week but I always have evenings available to drop ins or walks. Days I am fully available would be Sunday and occasional Mondays as I now babysit as well. Weekends vary but I’m willing to be flexible. I have a nice area that I walk my dog to, to go to the bathroom and there’s also a development I walk through on nicer days, I have an extra bedroom for a crate if your dog needs to bring theirs
“Anthony was excellent with our pets.our shy cats warmed up to him quickly. Milo our senior dog has medical issues and his needs where very well taken care off. Meds where given daily and also insulin shots. We will definitely ask Anthony to pet sit again.”
