What a wonderful family! Luiz & Patricia are incredibly professional and kind (as are their daughters & pup!) and made my girl feel right at home. She came home exhausted after having spent much of the day running around outside and playing with their dog & daughters. I always LOVE to get updates during a stay, and I received so many fun pictures and videos. I could not recommend them more!!!

About: I have had indoor cats for the past 24 years. I have pet sat for dogs and cats personally. I have house sat twice for a dachshund and doberman. These were contacts from my mom’s pet sitting job years ago. I had a beta fish for about 3 years. I can walk and play with the dogs and cats, feed them, etc. I will provide what is going on and what is being done, sharing pictures and videos as much is wanted. I currently work full time Monday through Friday. I can work from anywhere. I am available evenings during the week and available on the weekend. This is a side hustle and to offer some help for anyone that need it. We have a dog and a cat. We aren’t sure how our dog and cat would be to other pets in our home. I am happy to come to yours. Whatever is needed.

About: I love animals and have been around them as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats, from birth to their last breath. I believe in positive reinforcement training. I am very loving and treat all animals with respect but can be strict when required for safety. With me your babies will feel like they are at home away from home. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost always and your fur babies will have lots of love and company. I have a large grassy yard, and I live near a pond and multiple trails. I also have a Chihuahua mix girl, who is very friendly and loves making new friends.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always been a very empathetic person and just love to wave and say hi to dogs going by. I've had dogs of all sizes. My most recent is experience with Chihuahuas. I just love them! I've raised 2 dogs from 8 weeks old. I love all stages of a dogs life, from puppy to senior. I also have experience with senior dogs who need special care and medication. I'm currently working for myself, so I have plenty of time to spend playing, caring, loving and walking with your pets. I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.

This week I was extremely impressed with the kindness of Michael as he offered to watch Charolette in New Year’s Day. I have an early schedule so drop off was 6:30 am so this was exceptional commitment to customer service I’m my regards. I also have a scheduled that fluctuates and last week was put on call one of the days that I pre paid canceling a day I’d need service last minute. Michael offered to watch Charolette overnight no charge New Year’s Day as I was scheduled to work two 12 hr shifts back to back as a convenience to me. I am so appreciative and happy with the care I’m receiving using Michael’s business for the care of my dog whom I consider family. Thank you Michael for all you do!

Giannina came through at the last minute to watch my dog for the day. I prefer when sitters send photos and videos because it helps me feel reassured that he is content. She is busy with her children so I didn’t receive any. Anyway, I’m happy he was taken care of.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.

We were so lucky to find Jacquie! She was very flexible squeezing in a meet & greet with our dog who can be anxious around new people. She has a great, calm energy that immediately put our dog at ease. He loves playing with her 2 dogs and snuggling with her! She is responsive, professional and kind. Thank you Jacquie!

We just used his services for the first time today. We will definitely go back. Our very clingy little girl, who usually cries most of the time we are gone was fine being left and seemed to enjoy the other animals.

About: Hi all! I have lots of experience walking and caring for dogs/pups and cats. My very first pup was a chihuahua at around age 5. Since then my love for animals grew. I've had several Siamese cats, aquatic fish and dogs growing up. I've walked and cared for many different pups around town (just about all breeds) and I can assure your furry friend is in good hands. In our house I have a 13 year old son, a 2 year old daughter, three turtles, bearded dragon and several fish. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I can provide you with several references, past employer and client related. I can also pick up/drop off to make things easier. Thank you!

We’re so grateful for the excellent care that Shankar and family took of our cockapoo Mochi! They were great communicators- sending frequent photo and video updates of Mochi enjoying the beautiful, grassy, fenced-in yard, sniffing chickens (on the other side of the fence), playing with their dog, and snoozing on the couch. It was clear Mochi had a great day and that they are true dog lovers. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area and highly recommend them to all!
