About: As someone who grew up in a "dog home" I'm very comfortable with a wide variety of dogs both big (Fred, German Shepard) and small (Abby, Cocker Spaniel). Over the last 4 years I've been personally training and raising my well-behaved resident couch-potato, Leo. I bring that same enthusiasm and kindness to every cat I meet as well (I've even fostered a few kittens!). I’m detail-oriented, timely, and mindful of existing routines such as walks, meals, medications, or any additional special instructions. I regularly send photos as updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I'm currently working from home part-time, so I'll have lot's of availability during the day. I can also do late-night pet checks! I'm detailed oriented when it comes to your pet(s) and their unique needs. I can accommodate to make sure each pet is shown the attention and care they need. I have a fenced in yard and a resident couch-potato. Meet-and-greets required for any overnight guests.

About: Dogs are a huge part of my life! I got my first dog when I was in 4th grade and then volunteered with dogs at a local humane society throughout high school. After college, I was a live-in nanny for 6 years, helping to care for 2 different family dogs. During my years as a nanny, I also did a lot of dog sitting for a bunch of families in the neighborhood, taking care of the dogs at either my house or theirs. After getting married, my husband and I adopted a puppy of our own and we spent the past 9 years devoted to raising her! I have experience with puppies, older dogs, and providing medication. I am currently a part-time dental hygienist, available to care for your dog 4 days of the week (Thursday through Sunday)! We recently lost our family dog quite unexpectedly, and we are really missing having a canine companion for cuddles and walks! I am available to watch your dog at your home for drop-in visits or walks and at my home for daycare or short-term boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small fenced yard, including some grass. There are no other animals living in the house, but I do have 2 daughters (ages 4 and 7). As such, your dog must be good with children, as well as my husband!

About: Over the last ten years I have had the opportunity to care for multiple furry friends, including seniors with health issues that require twice daily medication injections and frequent trips outside. I have always loved animals and am dedicated to giving them the best possible love and care they need. I recently moved to the area and would love to help take care of your babies while I'm between jobs! I recently moved to the area and am currently between jobs so I'm available 24/7 to provide pet care for any sweet lil babies who need it! I'm extremely diligent about making sure no animals get in or out of the house without me knowing! No assuming your cat is an outdoor pet or anything like that, I'll make sure to send frequent photo updates to let you know all is well at home.

About: Hi there. My name is Mercedes and I am looking forward to meeting you and your dog. If you’re looking for an experienced, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve always adored dogs--they understand you, they provide companionship, and they make your house a home. After 15 wonderful years, I recently lost my dog Lala She was an incredibly well behaved sheltie, and I miss her dearly. I don’t yet have another dog of my own, and I wanted to help others in my community by offering pet sitting services. I’m home full-time, and I have lots of space for furry guests. I pride myself on my customer service skills, and as a former pet parent, I know how hard it is for you to leave your family member behind. When your dog is in my care they will get tons of attention, love, and as much playtime as they need. I have a lot of energy, so your pet will be kept pretty busy! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can’t wait to hear from you.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life whether they’re mine or friends. I have a 80lb doberman/pitt mix making me very comfortable with large dogs, and a 10lb tabby cat making me comfortable with your tiny friends too! I work part time, and on days I do work I have a 2 hour lunch break. This allows me to be available for your furry friends whenever you need! I have experience walking dogs who are not fully leash trained and those that are reactive. I know the area well and am confident I can keep your furry friends safe and entertained!

Jiamin was very professional and cheerful. She had a varying schedule and never missed a day. When I needed to cancel a day she added another day to my schedule. She was able to give cats medication and feed them separately. She even gave treats to Milo when he was under the bed. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and happy.
