She gives him a lot of attention and knows his favorite toys and his favorite ways to play! Whenever he sees her, he does his happy dance.”

“We love Jennifer and so thankful for her love and quality care every time🥰”

“Rich is my boyfriend, so I’m biased, but I fell in love when he met my dogs because he’s so good with them. He takes care of them throughout the week and even when I’m home. They are my babies and I fully trust him with them. They are well taken care of and he treats them as I do. He will make a great pet sitter!”

“Wonderful with my dogs and with me! They were so happy!!”

About: I have had extensive pet care experience over the years. I have cared for both dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor pets, and I am comfortable with administering medication if needed. In my previous job, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets under my care. I also kept an eye on their health and reported any concerns to their owners. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for animals and I enjoy spending time with them. Well, pet care is an essential part of our daily and weekly routines, especially for pet owners like me. When it comes to taking care of our pets, we need to ensure that they are healthy, happy, and safe. This means providing them with proper nutrition, exercise, grooming, and veterinary care. As a pet owner, my daily pet care routine involves feeding my pet, giving them fresh water, and taking them for a walk or providing them with playtime. Additionally, I take some time to clean up after my pet, such as cleaning their litter box or picking up after them outside. Weekly pet care routines can involve much more, like giving my pet a bath, cleaning their bedding or cage, and checking for any potential health issues or concerns. I also make it a point to play with my pet and teach them new tricks during the week to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. Overall, pet care is a responsibility that pet owners like myself need to take seriously. By incorporating daily and weekly routines, we can ensure that our pets continue to thrive and live healthy, happy lives. Well, I think my approach to caring for my pets at home is pretty comprehensive. Firstly, I make sure to provide them with a clean environment, which means their area and kennel is cleaned as well as, beddings are changed regularly. I also make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water and nutritious food. In terms of exercise and playtime, I schedule a set amount of time each day for interactive play and exercise, in addition to walks outdoors. This keeps them happy, healthy and stimulated both physically and mentally. I also prioritize their medical needs by ensuring they receive regular checkups and vaccinations as needed. This proactive approach helps to prevent health problems down the line. Overall, I believe that providing a safe and nurturing environment, plenty of exercise and playtime, and proactive medical care are all key to caring for pets in a responsible and effective way.

“Kaitlyn did a great job! We have older cats with health needs, and she took great care of them. She also kept the place neat and tidy and sent lots of updates/pictures. Excellent experience.”

About: I’ve previously trained bird dogs under the professional dog training business H& H Gun Dogs. I have a Viszla, Great Dane, Bulldog, and painted turtle. I love all pets and have had them all my life. Very good at working with them. I work PRN as a caretaker so I do not work every day I either have mornings or evenings off if I am not away traveling. I am starting with dog walking as I do not feel comfortable being in a strangers home, if I get to know and trust you I can also let them out or move to dog watching occasionally.

“I swear Rachel is a dog whisperer! We have rescues that are scared of everyone. Loved her from the first time they met! Only person we use now. She’s reliable and excellent! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have raised 2 puppies and several cats and I'm the mom of a frenchie. We love going for walks and being outside. My dog plays well with others and would welcome a new friend for the day. I'm just working part time right now so I would have plenty of time for a drop-in visit and a walk. I'm available Mon 10am-12:30pm Tues 8am-12:30pm Wed 8am-2pm Thurs 8am-12:30pm Fri 8am-2pm. Mon-fri I would still be available for drop-in or walks after 5pm but I would have my kids with me. Please reach out even if your requested time doesn't match my availability. I still may be able to accommodate you. I do not have a fenced yard which is why I'm not offering for pets to stay in my home. My dog is trained to stay nearby so we haven't needed to get a fence yet. I am able to accommodate walking dogs of all sizes and all activity levels. I can work with dogs who pull or who are easily distracted. I'm a mother to 4 children and a dog so I definitely have patience! I'm currently working part-time so I have open afternoons, evenings and weekends. I work 7am-1pm Mon-Fri, but I can be flexible with my start and end times. I will care for your pet like they are my own and make sure to follow all routines and instructions. I make sure your pet has everything they need and I double and triple check gates and doors before I leave.

“Mikayla is an absolute animal lover! She's currently in college working toward becoming Vet Tech and she also works at a vet clinic part time. She loves getting to know all kinds of pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, and even snakes! She's open to learning about and caring for other types of pets as well. I strongly recommend her as a loving, responsible pet care giver!”

“Brock was amazing! My pets were comfortable, happy and well taken care of! Wonderful animal care is priceless! I have already rebooked for my next trip!”

“Bethany has grown up with and helped take care of a dog, cats, and a bird. She also took horse back riding lessons for a few years and placed well in several events. Bethany has always taken an interest in animals (even snakes) and does well with them. I believe she would be a conscientious sitter and caregiver.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have a special love for them!! I’ve been around puppies and older dogs, big and small!! I also love cats!! I currently work some hours at a different job but I would be available some evenings and possibly weekends to take care of your furry friends! :) I can easily feed, take the dogs out to go potty, or crate if needed!! I can even take them on small walks if needed!!

“Kaitlynn is a wonderful person who is very good with animals of all shapes and sizes. She is responsible, friendly, and willing to work with anyone and everyone to be sure that their animals are well taken care of.”

“Christine was great with our new puppy. She sent pictures and took the time to play with him when she came over. We look forward to having her back soon, as Apollo loved her!”

About: I used to take care of my gym owner’s dog for a while every time they went on vacation — letting the dog out, feeding, staying the night with the animals, etc. I also haven’t known a time when my family hasn’t owned a dog. I currently work full time as a manager at a retail store, but I am off every Tuesday and every other weekend. I am willing to use my days off to take care of your beloved pet! I am comfortable letting your dog out if it needs to use the bathroom, taking it on walks, feeding it, kenneling, and much more. I’m pretty comfortable with most things.

“Sierra was absolutely fantastic. Our family took a two-week vacation, Sierra stayed at our home and cared for our two (very spoiled) cats. Everything went great, she checked in with us every day, sending photos, videos, and sharing little stories about our babies. We came home to happy cats and a very clean and orderly house. I would 100% book her again.”
