“Sarah is the best! I trust her completely with my sweet furry babies. She is caring, professional and has amazing attention to detail. I am always so happy to have her care for my puppy and kitty.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I used to assist my mom in breeding and have been pet sitting for family and friends for many years. I currently have a bulldog of my own and a leopard gecko. I work full time but I have my own dog so I can easily make sure our furry friends are well taken care of and looked after when your away! I can easily follow whatever your furry friends schedule is, whether it’s putting them in a crate to keep them safe and secure or making sure they are safe roaming through the house while your away!
“Dominique was AMAZING!! She took such great care of our cat Cookies! She made sure he was fed, fresh water and clean litter. And she took the time to snuggle and play with him on every visit. We loved the daily pictures and updates of him that Dominique shared with us! I highly recommend Dominique.”
“Jamie was incredibly professional, friendly, and kind. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat. Our cat got a little mischievous and she communicated immediately and clearly, and took care to make sure our cat stayed happy and cozy while we were gone!”
“Harper didn't warm up to her, but that's because of him not Ashton. He's only ever warned up to one other person. She was very respectful of his space and comfort level and sent pics from every visit. Highly recommend and will definitely use her services again.”
“Grace has been watching my cats for over 6 months now and does an absolutely stellar job each and every time! She takes amazing care of my kitties and also my home while I am away. She is very good about communicating how they are doing each day and you can tell she cares deeply about the fur babies she is caring for. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Camryn responded immediately and came out to meet my doggies beforehand. The dogs like her! She came out with her little one, but the dogs weren't quite sure about the baby carrier with the fan on it :). They were really curious though. Camryn took good care of my fur-babies, fed them and made sure they went potty before she left. I will contact her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 9 years old. Lots of experience with both long and short term house sitting, with multiple animals with different needs! Currently I work part time as a dance instructor, so I have plenty of time and energy to keep your pets entertained. I’m available most days for house sitting and pet care Your home, your rules! Your pets, your schedule! Routines are super important for both animals and humans. My goal as your sitter is to make the irregular feel regular, for you and your pet(s).
“Kierra was extremely accommodating, prompt to respond, detailed in the visit notes and went above and beyond to take care of 2 very rambunctious dogs. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tucker and Ruby! They each have very different personalities, and she handled them both with such care and confidence. I felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her hands — and it was clear they were well cared for and loved. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Nicole again!”
About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. I love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of the scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!
About: Has to be able to get along with other dogs if being brought to my home. It’s fine if dogs or cats need special care I am going to give them my all and make sure they enjoy there time so they come back, all animals are welcome and loved with me. I spend all of my time devoted to taking care of animals I am a stay at home mom so they will always have my attention and I am always avalible Willing to do whatever is needed to take care of the pet and make the pet happy in both your home and my home, anything they need
About: I have many years training young pets (even cats!) and accommodating for senior animals, especially larger breeds. Larger breeds of dogs are definitely my specialty aswell. I’m currently working part-time (sometimes!) and have an extremely open and flexible schedule, and having the opportunity to help people with their fur family members sounds very fulfilling I have years of dog training experience and used to train service dogs as a child, owning a very well trained and loved dog for over 10 years. During that time I’ve had experience caring for multiple cats with many accommodations due to our oldest being 16 and our youngest being a high maintenance sphinx (just over a year)
“Ashley is always there on time and follows directions. I feel like I can trust Ashley. My cats, who can be rather picky about who they choose to be around, come out of their hiding spots when shes over.”
“Camrynn made 2 visits to let Molly and Abby out while I was out of town for the day. She was on time and sent a photo of them snuggling on the sofa. The dogs loved her and were very relaxed when I returned. I would highly recommend Camrynn.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and they bring me so much joy. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and I’ve found that I enjoy them all. I’ve had experience with training, potty training and have helped family and friends with dog walking. I currently go to school online so I am home most of the day. I have an older dog of my own so I am used to a routine of being able to be home to let me dog outside and take him for walks at least once a day. I have a fenced in backyard so that your dog can be outside as much as they like. I also have a dog that absolutely loves other animals. My son is a big fan of helping out with animals and we both enjoy snuggling up with our dog at the end of the day. I do allow dogs on furniture and in all rooms of my house, however I will respect if this is something you do not wish your dog to do.
About: I am not doing this to build more experience or gain money, I’m simply doing this for my love of dogs! I’ve had many dogs in my life and I have gained a lot of experience with different breeds big and small. I have also have been to many dog training classes and have done my own training. I currently own a 1 and 5 month old German Shepherd who is very well mannered and trained. I currently bought a house with a large backyard. It is not fenced in but I do have a 100 yard dog trolley and many leashes! We also can provide a crate if your dog is crate trained. My wife will also be helping me, and works full time from home. So your dog will be very well taken care of and shown the love it needs! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me
