This was our second time booking with Jennifer and we will definitely book with her again in the future! It’s so nice to know that Rosie is in good hands and that we have someone we can trust to take great care of her.

Emily was fantastic! She was wonderfully communicative throughout the entire process from when we first contacted her for a meet and greet, all the way til the last visit ended. She not only read all our lengthy instructions and brutally honest descriptions of all 3 of our pups, but retained all the info on them, as well. Our pups loved her sweet demeanor, and the attention she gave each of them. She was super punctual and trustworthy. Will definitely be using her again while she's available and not at school!

About: Ever since I was little I have been taking care of many animals. I grew up with a cat, and my family adopted a dog five years ago that I helped train! Aside from that, I’ve had chickens, goats, and ducks! I’m a recent college graduate working retail shifts typically at night. I have a flexible schedule and if needed can change things around in order to take care of your pet. Understanding that my presence is different in the pets home, I prioritize making sure they are comfortable with me there and not scared. I aim to make sure they are taken care of and not stressed out in their own home.

Nicoletta is truly amazing and trusting when it came to watching my pup for a week long! My pup is very young and could be a bit hard to handle as he is very big but there was no problem whatsoever and he was very happy with nicoletta as a caretaker! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter as Nicoletta is great and loving with dogs. I received updates and reviews of how the visits went and I could not be happier with how great everything went. I cannot thank her enough for being there and so kind to my Jay!

Madelyn provided outstanding care for my 2 year-old pup. She took her on walks, made sure her water & food bowls were cleaned and refilled, and gave her a lot of love and attention in my absence. She is responsible and trustworthy and I highly recommend her.

Daisy did a great job caring for my cat when I was away. He’s a big scaredy cat, but warmed up to her fairly quickly. I would hire her again!

About: I was a veterinary technician for years and I just love and adore animals. I can administer medication if needed, and give a lot of love to your pets. I currently work part time at a restaurant in the evenings so I am free all day. I can also come by after work if needed. I currently cannot care for pets in my own home because I have a dog who is not accepting of other animals in her home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, not only my own but friends and family as well, through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. My long-term goal is to become a veterinarian, and I’m currently training to become a veterinary assistant/tech while continuing my education in animal medicine. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, not just a side job. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy pets, and multi-pet households. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I work at a veterinary clinic around 4-5 days a week, with most days being pretty flexible hours. I’m available for walks, drop in’s and house sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I’m very reliable, responsive, and understand how important consistency and routine are for pets. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With my veterinary assistant training and future career goals in veterinary medicine, I pay close attention to animal behavior, health, routines, and stress levels. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and handling pets calmly and patiently. I will always treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care.

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

About: Experienced pet sitter reactivating my profile due to new flexible schedule! I’ve cared for all sorts of pets, ranging from senior dogs to active puppies. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats in total (including one blind + deaf senior dog). With one indoor cat currently, I really miss having dogs around! I’d love to care for your pet while you’re away, or show them some love with a walk. It would make me just as happy as it makes them. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I am available and ready to care for your beloved pet, whether it’s a cat or dog! For pet sitting, I will ensure your pets belly is full, is given a walk and plenty of water, will be let out to go potty, and will get plenty of attention while you’re away!

Melissa was excellent with my Theo. My buddy can be a little nervous around new people but he took to her right away and I was happy knowing he was being cared for, loved, and played with while I was away.
