She was super sweet and really cared for our dogs! Would have her watch them again in a heart beat. Our girl generally doesn’t warm up to strangers fast but she loves Christina. Always sent photos and updates of them.

Tea did an amazing job taking care of my babies. I had never been away from them before since they where born and I was able to spent my weekend away without worry. I would 100% recommend booking her if you need your pets taken care of.

About: I’ve had all types animals my entire life, I’m very experienced with mainly cats,dogs, and reptiles. I love animals with everything in me and would do anything to protect them. I’m always free I currently don’t have any other job. I really wanted to find a job that I know I would love and I found this app! I have a fenced front and back yard and lot’s of toys, a few crates ( if needed) and other animal necessities. I have pets of my own that are friendly if they need company.

Hannah was amazing! Great communication, very sweet, and treated Malana like her own. Malana loved her time with Hannah and that’s all a dog mom could ever ask for. 10/10 would book with her again.

Alyssa did a great job. My pets can be a little timid of new people but she respected their space and they warmed up to her quickly. She is also very responsive to communication.

Jordan did an amazing job with Milly. She normally has bad social anxiety and it is hard for her to socialize her. However, she is instantly bonded with Jordan. With his laid-back approach and obvious animal experiences, it's no wonder she likes him. I booked him for her session yesterday and she looked for him again today. Definitely will be hiring him again.

If we could give Ciara a ten star rating we would- she was responsive and responsible, our dog loved her, and the house looked great when we got home. Would absolutely rebook.

Jenna is an amazing pet sitter. I have had her pet sit my animals about 10 times and every time she does great. She actually trained one of my puppies. When I came home he was potty trained! I recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.

About: As a dedicated stay-at-home dog mom, I take immense pride in ensuring the well-being of my own fur baby. I prioritize exercise, nutrition, and mental and emotional support, ensuring he is always at his best. I extend this same level of care and dedication to your pets while they are in my care. Having grown up with dogs and with a mother who is an ethical breeder of Huskies and German Shepherds, I possess extensive experience with high-energy breeds. Currently, as a stay-at-home dog mom, I am available to drop in at any time, day or night, to check on your pet. I am also open to providing overnight care. I strictly adhere to your house rules and appreciate any general information about your pet, including health or behavioral issues, to tailor my care accordingly. The more information you provide, the better I can care for your pet and your household. For pet parents who like to stay updated, I am happy to send pictures of your pet during my visits. In case of an emergency, please provide me with your vet's contact information and an alternative emergency contact if you are unavailable. Additionally, I am willing to assist with light housekeeping tasks if needed. I am excited about the opportunity to get to know you and your beloved pets. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your specific needs. Have a wonderful day. Pet care is constantly in my daily routine to ensure the safety and well-being of the pets. Rather that’s nutrition, cleaning, or exercise! Pet care is very important to me and I always do my best! At this time I will not be caring for pets in my home. While I am in the clients home I will adhere to their rules for their pets along making sure that their pet is safe from any hazardous situations.

About: Everything short of cutting claws and milking glands. We'll go out a lot together if that's what you’re after or stay in and play “hide the treats in blankets.” Skittish and vivacious canines welcome. I squeeze about thirty hours of my day job into odd slots around caring for my human and high needs dog. While taking two dogs on leashes to Vesuvius is probably a tall order, Central Bark or the Flatwoods dog park are no problem at all. There are so many rugs in this house that I don't care about that if your dog has an accident it is absolutely nothing to me. There is a 1/6 acre of about ten oak and maple trees directly next door for frolicking and my neighbor with her spayed female cat and fixed three year old Shepherd girl to walk over to. If your dog needs a little cooling off, most dogs like cooler conditions, and the five dollar coin op dog wash in Flatwoods

About: I have cared for my own animals since my childhood, now that I’m grown I have 1 dog and 4 cats. I’ve been professionally pet sitting for several years. I’m a dog and cat lover and will treat yours like my own! I work from home, so I’ll be available to love on your pets as needed! My schedule is flexible. I am available most times throughout the week and weekend. I have a fenced in yard for my dog with plenty of space to play outback. I have lots of play space indoors for my cats including many toys and cat towers that allow them to people and bird watch!
