“What a godsend! Christina assisted us with our 5 dogs on short notice as we had to leave town for a family emergency. She's a kind and gentle person who clearly loves animals and is very knowledgeable on their care. Christina was professional and always responded quickly to messages and kept us updated.”
“Ali is an amazing, kind and compassionate animal advocate. Ali was more than willing to meet with me a few times before the visit to ensure that we both felt comfortable with her in care of our pets. She's thoughtful and very thorough when it comes to asking the right questions and assuring the pet owner's comfort. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Kinzley we can’t thank you enough for your help with all our fur babies on our wedding day. I was able enjoy the day knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely reach out for future visits if needed. You’re the best!!”
About: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.
“Miranda has been amazing in caring for our four kitties while we were gone for the week! We are so appreciative of her kindness and attentiveness to our fur babies. She did a wonderful job keeping us up to date on each visit she had with them. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: My pets are indoors AND outside because I have safe, pet friendly, separated or joined, sheltered, natural areas where we can all unwind on my seven acres. I'm a retiree who devotes all my time to my grandkids, animals and hobbies. Your pets' needs are provided for at all times whether they are here for a day, week or month as they are included in our family activities. Pets are kept separated or allowed to play together depending on their needs. I provide crates, mats, kennels and even my bed for peaceful sleeping.
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

I have always gotten along really well with animals and respect and love their company. i’m working on figuring out my career path in life. i have a cat that i would prefer to stay with, but she does perfectly fine alone for a night :) I would prefer to meet the pet with the owner beforehand, and to be given instructions on how you want me to care for your pet. I have had customers who prefer me to stay and live in the house with the pets, or others will just have me come check in on them a couple times a day, feed / let them out etc

I love animals of every kind & having many of my own, I understand how important it is to trust who is taking care of your pets. I am currently working full time but my schedule is very flexible so I am able to move things around to accommodate when it is needed. Having pets of my own, I understand different tasks are needed. My services are walks, feeding, watering, letting outside, cleaning up after pets, baths, and pretty much anything needed!

I will do my best to make your pet feel as though you never left by sticking close to their typical routine, and making them feel loved and secure.
About: I grew up in the country, helping my family care for our many cats, dogs, and horses, as well as the occasional snake or lizard and our neighbor's goats when they went on vacation.

I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feedings while keeping their space clean and familiar. Your pet’s happiness is always my top priority.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

Jennifer T.
“Hello, my name is Eufraisa Tecuapetla. My sister Jennifer has helped me over the last three years in taking care of my boy Chapo. Chapo is a Rottweiler mixed with Lab and he can be a handful. But Jennifer has done a great job in keeping me stress free by making sure he is well fed, well groomed, safe and loved. She is a very generous and life saver, there was a couple of times where I had to come him extremely late from work but she kept Chapo in her home safe until I could be with him. Another time would be when my dog had a terrible ear infection and she took the time to take him to the vet and made sure he could get better. I would highly recommend her with taking care of your little fur baby! Thanks!”
