Lauren was great with my two pups. She sent plenty of pictures while I was away and they looked happy in every one. My one dog was in need of medication which Lauren had no issue with administering to her. I highly recommend Lauren!

Amazing job watching our Winnie! Thank you so very much to Emily for all the care given to our girl. Great communication and feedback during her stay and lots of pics to keep us up to date on how Winnie was doing while we were gone. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using Emily again. ❤️🐾 Winnie and her family!

Abby provided loving, conscientious care for our two cats - one indoor and one indoor/outdoor. They both responded well to her :). She understood their individual needs, and genuinely loved them! She followed timelines and spent significant time with our cats. We look forward to rebooking Abby in the future!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily feeding routines, fresh water, walks and playtime, basic grooming, litter box and kennel cleaning, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets as well as seniors who need a calmer, more gentle approach. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure they receive consistent, reliable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, health, and well-being at all times. I work 7am–3pm most days, which gives me flexible afternoon and evening availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive attentive, unhurried care and consistent routines. When caring for pets in their own homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any house rules. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of affection and attention. I treat every home with respect and keep things clean and secure. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners confidence that their home and pet are in good hands.

About: I have cared for four dogs over the past 12 years (all rescues). I have a genuine passion for providing the best quality care, and I will treat your dog(s) like they are my own. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with high anxiety levels and/or behavioral issues, along with puppies and senior dogs. I am also highly detail-oriented, organized, and understand the importance of routine and structure in your dog's life. Your instructions, requests, and/or concerns are my top priority. I am currently working part-time, so I have extra time during the week and on weekends to provide pet and house-sitting services. I am available for drop-in visits, house-sitting, and any other requests. I will treat your home environment with the utmost respect. I will follow any instructions and requests you give me to a tee, and your pet(s) safety is my top priority.

Alex stayed at our home and watched our two puppies while we went on vacation for a week. I’ve always had my parents watch them since them so I was worried about finding someone, until I met Alex. She was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of my babies. I can tell they were spoiled with love while we were gone. We will be using her for all future trips!

Ciera was amazing! She showed up on time. Asked questions in regards to care, schedule and special instructions. I like the fact that she works at a dog day care. So she's experienced. She left my home tidy and even brought in my packages. I will use her again.

About: Growing up I haven't had the opportunity to stay in one place for too long, moved from house to house, I've gotten the opportunity to hang with some amazing animals throughout my life and I've gotten very lucky. I've taken care of multiple litters of cats and seen them go to some amazing homes. I've also had the opportunity to raise 2 dogs from the time they were just little puppies! I've also grown up around reptiles and birds! I can assure you I'm experienced and your pets will be my number one priority. Some info about me I am autistic and fairly bad at socializing so if I seem off I'm just anxious around new people and learning how to communicate properly please be patient with me, I'm trying my best to find employment this helps me out so much with bills so please consider booking with me I'm always greatful. I'm free 24/7 anytime for how long I'm needed I'm happy to work, I take my job seriously, my entire goal is to spend my time looking after the pets under my care. Pets deserve love and attention, playing with toys and regularly being allowed outside of cleaning a litter box for cats, we feed our dogs twice a day once in morning and once at night. Treats can be nice in moderation but not in large amounts... Cuddling is also an amazing activity if your pets enjoy that, they are like children and deserve plenty of love! I am an autistic individual who is incredibly social, I learn quickly and the money helps me with important bills I frequently am short on rent so please consider booking with me.

Darriell stayed at my house for 1 week to look after my 85lb pit mix, Judah. Judah needed to be given medication twice a day, have probiotics sprinkled on his food every morning, and is aggressive towards other dogs. Darriell handled EVERYTHING perfectly. She took Judah on 2 walks every day, and had no issue with his meds or probiotics. She kept me up to date every day and went adorable pictures of my fur baby. She was extremely communicative and responsible. If I wasn’t moving to another state, I would DEFINITELY hire Darriell every time I needed a dog sitter. Highly recommend.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was born, they are family and truly mean so much to me, I enjoy my time with all animals. Looking for a job that will allow me to have time to study for school as well. Also, will allow me to get my daily steps in with your fur babies. It would be very helpful if you let me know what your dog likes to play with, what times they eat, etc so we can make sure there having the best time.
