About: 💕🐾I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, but specifically seven years of experience with drop ins, walks, and dog sitting/house sitting. I am trained as a doggy day care attendant and worked at an open play facility where I learned pet first aid, safety training, grooming, and medication administration. I’m currently a college student and have lots of free time to help out with pups and house sitting! I previously was working part time at a doggy day care, so I’m used to dogs being apart of my daily life! I can easily crate your dog if needed and do some spa work if needed! I can administer medications to dogs if all ages and am used to cleaning up any messes! Rowdy dogs are no problem for me!

Sarah was beyond amazing! 10/10 I will always book her. She kept us updated about everything, sent videos, and was able to give one of my cats her daily medicine. Couldn’t have been a better experience.

Emma was so amazing with our babies- she was able to handle giving medications to 2 of our dogs, handled their somewhat complicated feeding schedule, and earned the trust of our nervous boy! We will definitely use her again!!

I can see why Sarina has great reviews and repeat clients. She is very responsive and respectful. My husband arrived home a day before I did and said everything looked great and the pups were happy. One of ours needs eye drops and oral medication and that was no problem. We will try to book Sarina again.

Alora did a great job with our senior dog! She kept him for an extended stay and was very communicative throughout. We felt assured our old buddy was in good hands. She took good care of our home and again, was very communicative and quick to respond throughout our trip.

About: I’ve been around all types of animals my whole life. I love to spend time with pets and be able to help out. I am active and can run around with your pets or sit and chill with them. I am a full time student in College at Samford University. Where I am on the track team and in sorority life. This would be a side hustle for me but that doesn’t mean I will put in any less effort. This is something I love to do. I have one loving dog of my own. I understand that pets need space sometimes and can recognize that. I love to give rubs and treats when deserved and play with them.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well. Even though every dog is different, I am able to provide adequate care and attention to every fur baby that I have the privilege of looking after. I am currently a student and have plenty of down time when I am not at school. This includes Fridays and Weekends and I can be pretty flexible with time! I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.

Regan was an absolute blessing. My dog loved being able to spend time with her, and was really excited that she brought her dog Finn as well so he could have a buddy. She kept me up to date during their stay together, provided me plenty of pictures and made sure my dog was well taken care of while I was out of town. He especially loved the walks she would take him on with Finn and the extra attention he got from both of them.

Jessica was amazing! She kept us informed and sent pics! she was so sweet and kind and I know our pupps loved her. The next day when she was gone they went straight to her “room” when they woke up. That made me so happy knowing they were very well loved on. She even made sure the floors and bedding were clean when we came home and left the sweetest pup report cards! I hope she will always take care of our babies🩵

About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.
