“Bryanna has been walking our dog a few days a week for 3 weeks now and it has been so helpful! We made a few changes and Bryanna was flexible and always super communicative. The daily report she gives is always detailed and appreciated! Thank you Bryanna!”
“Nicole was very responsive and sent me lots of pet photos while I was away! She even included pictures of my cat who she was not being paid to take care of. She was very patient with my dog who tends to be scared of new people. I highly recommend Nicole!”
“Marianna has been walking our Olive this week (and hopefully for many weeks to come!) and has been wonderful. Even though her first day she could barely get in our door due to a dysfunctional lock and key, she kept trying and because of that Olive got her walk and was much more at ease when we came home from work than she would've been if Marianna had not taken the time and effort to make sure she got in. Our dog has a few weird quirks and requirements, but Marianna had been extremely understanding and accommodating. We will definitely continue to use her as her schedule allows. Thanks Marianna!”
About: I have 18 years of experience taking care of pets including large and small dogs, puppy and senior dogs, birds, cats and fish. I currently take care of 2 dogs in my family, one large and one small, and the large one has special needs. I have experience administering oral medication and subcutaneous injections, and have had many years of reading domestic animal behavior . I have treated dogs and cats abroad at a shelter in Thailand so I have some experience with shy and nervous animals as well. During my visits, I like to focus on mental enrichment and some fun energetic play time! I’m available for In House Sitting (long term and short term), and available generally 9am-6pm each day, depending on your pups needs. I am always willing to be flexible and will try to find the best time that fits your needs! I make sure that your pet’s needs are met while giving them some love and attention while you are away! Walks are my favorite, but I also enjoy chilling on a couch snuggling and watching a show. I will also clean up if any messes are made (as a pet parent I know this all too well).
“Joan is very patient with my somewhat aggressive dog. She arrived on time everyday and was super sweet with Tiger. She really goes above and beyond to bond with Tiger. I am definitely booking with Joan in the future.”
“Tori was absolutely wonderful with my dog and my kitty! I was able to enjoy my vacation with peace of mind knowing that Tori was there with my babies. She sent tons of photos and let me know how they were doing every day. I will be booking with Tori from now on!! Thank you!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10, but been around dogs and cats since I was born. Neighbors, friends, and family have been able to rely on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets when they cannot. I also took many animal care classes in college while debating vet school and have volunteered at animal shelters on and off since I was a teenager. My current routine is flexible and mostly revolves around my kid's schedule. I've only recently left my job of 12 years for personal reasons so I have plenty of time to love on your pets! I adore animals and treat any that I'm caring for like they're my own pet. I want to make sure they're comfortable, treated well, and loved.
