I believe this is the 3rd time using Bonnie.... but as always my pets were taken care of. Apparently my cat is warming up to her very well because he gets the zoomies and was playing with her. Lol! She just does exactly what is needed and gives them a lot of attention.

Emily was great with my shy kitty! She was able to get him to come out of hiding and even give him some head and belly pets, which is rare for him. Great communication also. Highly recommend.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and family. They have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and care for their pets when they needed the help. I also have pets of my own and cared for senior pets and the youngins. I’m currently not reaching the hours I need at my job and have a flexible schedule. So I can easily fit side quests in and would love to use that spare time to care for some furbabies! I love to be active and get out, so I am able to walk dogs/puppies and play with them. I also have alot of patience for pets who are shy. I love cats so much and understand their boundaries and when they are scared. I am really good with getting pets out of their shells and socializing.

About: I got my first dog at 7 years old, and I grew up with him and raised him throughout my whole life. Taking care of him taught me responsibility at a young age and showed me what it truly means to love and care for an animal. Since then, dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have grown up around many different breeds of dogs and cats, which has made me comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. For the past 10 years, I have also helped my mom with Rover, giving me hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. Animals have always felt like family to me, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention. 🐾💛 Taking care of pets is a big part of my day! I make sure they get lots of love, walks, playtime, and cuddles so they feel happy and cared for. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routines, provide love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away.

Hannah did a great job- it's so nice we didn't have to worry about the pups while we were traveling! We loved getting pics of the boys and could rest easy knowing they were in their own environment. Clean litter boxes and kitties not desperate for attention when we returned was a huge bonus! Will definitely book again! Thanks!!!

Emily is the best! So happy I found her to spend time and live with Kona when I go out of town for work. Emily is very prompt with communication, on time every time, super flexible and accommodating to my schedule when something comes up last min. Emily sends lots of pictures and videos to make me feel at ease when I’m not around and missing my dog child. Kona absolutely loves Emily! Highly recommended for any of your pet sitting needs! Thanks Emily!

About: Growing up, animals weren’t just pets in our home — they were family. I’ve spent my whole life caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rats, snakes, lizards, pigs, and backyard birds like turkeys, chickens, ducks, and quail. My mom worked as a wildlife rehabilitator, so from a young age I helped nurse injured and orphaned wild animals back to health — including squirrels, rabbits, beavers, opossums, raccoons, and turtles. That experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive with animals of all temperaments and needs. Our family currently has two dogs and I have my own pet rats, so I’m an active, hands-on pet owner every single day. Sadly, I lost my own beloved dog last year, and that experience only deepened my understanding of just how much our pets mean to us. Whether your pup needs a fun, energetic walk or a calm, caring sitter while you’re away, I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. Your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands! 🐾 I’m currently a student so my schedule allows me to work on evenings, weekends and holidays. Once summer is here, I will be completely free! In Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any specific rules or preferences you have for your pet. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I make sure to give plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your fur baby is doing! Dog Walking Every dog is different, so I tailor each walk to your pup’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether they love a brisk adventure or prefer a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, we’ll have a great time! I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always keep safety a top priority. After the walk, you’ll receive an update so you know your pup had a wonderful time.
