Per usual, **Amazing**. She is always my go to when we’re traveling or need someone. Keeps me updated on the pups so I don’t miss them too much and they adore her too.

Lindsy was amazing and we felt so comfortable leaving our cat in her care while we were out of town. Lindsy visited as scheduled and was very communicative, with lots of photos, video, and comments about our cat’s activities. We would definitely trust Lindsy again!

Jennye is AMAZING! She was so patient and sweet with our not so little fur baby. She took great care of our St. Bernard. Arrow loved her and had the best time. Was super flexible and we can’t recommend her enough!

Wonderful. We have not been in a position before where we needed a Rover. Being the first time, Elizabeth was great with communicating with us, sending us pictures of our happy pups and making us feel at ease. Would definitely contact her again if needed.

About: I would love to be considered to watch your fur baby!! I love them like my own, and make sure to take care of them like my own :) I currently do photography for income, so I’m pretty much available whenever I do like to keep weekends open as much as possible, but during the day and maybe a few times during the week evenings, I am available!! I make sure to keep an eye out on your dog 24/7 to make sure they don’t get into something they’re not supposed to and to make sure that they are happy and active or taking a nap!

About: I have a true love of every furry friend out there. I love large breeds as much as small, so I’m comfortable with any breed. I also love to walk and hike, so if your dog is high energy, I can match that! I currently work part time at an animal rescue with a flexible schedule, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pet. I have experience with dogs, cats, and many animals. If dog sitting, I am happy to come twice per day to feed, walk and love your pet. I understand how hard it is to leave them behind. I will happily text you photos and updates, as often as you would like!

Blakely is amazing. She came to meet my girls before hand so they wouldn’t be scared when she came to look after them. The little report card that came after her visit was so informative and let me know my girls felt very comfortable with her.

About: I’ve owned and cared for my personal dogs since I was a little girl and been able to care for friends dogs (and cats) as well! I love dogs because of their various personalities and their impact on mental well-being! Being able to walk dogs for a profit is like a dream job for me! I currently run my own small business during the hours of 10-4, so early morning or late afternoon/evening bookings are perfect for me! I live in a rental, so no pets are allowed in my house, but I would be willing to care for your fur baby in yours! Just leave me a list of responsibilities and instructions and I will follow them!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog & cat, treating them like my own. I don’t just walk or watch them. I build trust, learn their personality, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every single time. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on giving both you and your pet peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m already used to being consistent, patient, and attentive in my daily life as a first grade teacher. During the school year, I’m available in the afternoons and evenings, which works perfectly for after-work walks, check-ins, or dinner-time care. I’m reliable with scheduling and communication, so you’ll always know your pet is in good hands. In the summer, my schedule opens up much more, allowing me to offer flexible morning, afternoon, and evening care. This gives me even more time to dedicate to longer walks, playtime, and making sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they need. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home, keeping things clean, secure, and just as you left them. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is well cared for. My goal is to give both you and your pet a stress-free, positive experience every time.

About: I am Shaylei, I am 25years old, and I love working with animals. I have had many different types of animals like dogs and cats to take care of while I was growing up. I also work at the Noble Dog Lodge so I do have professional dog care experience as well. I like the cuddlers, playful, and lazy doggies. I can also teach your dog a few tricks if you’d like as well. I know how to teach sit, stay, shake, and a couple more! I’ve dealt with harder to work with dogs, and very laid back dogs. I’ve dealt with Chihuahuas and Dobermans so any size works for me. I've also worked with the hyper puppies and the senior dogs that just need patience. Your pet will be in good hands if you decide to choose me as your main provider for your pet care needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I do work fulltime at a dog boarding and daycare facility. On my days off, I don't mind continuing to provide excellent care for animals that need some extra love while their parents are away. Weather I stay the whole day or do a drop in visit, I always make sure to give each pet the same care and attention. I know your babies miss you and you miss them while you're away. I want them to feel good about me caring for them. So, weather we play fetch, cuddle, or go on a walk I will always treat your babies with the respect and happiness they deserve.

About: My name is jharasen or jp for short. I have been working with dogs and other pet for many years now at doggy daycares, pet sitting, vet clinics and at the shelter. I am available most days and time to care for your pet and try to make them feel as comfortable and excepted while they are with me. I am also working on getting my training business started here in Forset city and am currently an intern with a trainer in Mills river helping out with an agility class on Wednesday nights. having the knowledge and backing of the trainer I have been able to find creative ways to help with dogs who seemed stressed or needing more outlets when with me. I am super excited to start my journey out here in Forset city and cant wait to meet and help the community here. I hope to hear from you and your pup soon, and thank you for considering me to take care of your family pet. I have a fenced-in yard that the dogs can play in when I am home. They are also able to come in and hang out inside as well. I do keep all dogs separated when I am not home and/or able to watch them and at meal time just for safety reasons. Ibam a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open, besides for any appointments i might have to go. The only days i am consistently away from the house are Wednesdays from 10 to 3 and Thursdays from 11 to 6 when im at class. I have a fenced-in yard part of it is what i call my rainy day yard which is truf grass with a 3 ft fence around it ... I also have a 6ft fence around the while back yard for the dry days that make the play space much bigger ... but who wants to play in the rain anyways lol. I do slow introduction with ever new pup that comes in and go at their pace to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while they are staying with me.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was younger. I’ve always been especially fond of dog’s, I’m a dog mom myself and would love to care for yours!! Honestly I would love to do this full time which explains why my rates are a bit pricey given the economy we’re in I hope y’all understand. As a dog owner I understand what it’s like to not trust just anybody with your furry friend believe me. I also know what it’s like to leave your pup behind in a crate having to run errands and trying to race back to let them go potty it breaks my heart anytime having to leave mine. I would however love to be there for your pets if allowed and take pictures of each visit to put your mind at ease.

About: My family started fostering animals when I was young. I now have pets of my own that I’ve been caring for about 10 years now! My specialties are long walks, park playtime, brushing, washing, nail clipping, administering meds, refreshing homes of household pet odors. Let me pamper your pets like my own family! I work part time & make my own schedule so I have lots of flexibility on weekdays. I’m a great choice for folks who work long hours during the week and have pets that need extra potty breaks or playtime throughout the day. I have two friendly dogs of my own & a cat. I live very close to a walking trail in town as well as a dog park. I stay stocked on treats and toys. I’m happy to accommodate you and your pets needs!
