About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.

7. Adrienna C.
“Hello, adrianna sat my 4 cats for about 2 weeks while I was on a business trip. She went once a day to feed them and clean their little boxes. She did play with them. My cats are very anti-social and weird around new people. In her videos she sent me, they seemed to love her. 2 out of 4 of my cats actually let adrianna pet them (which is very odd for my cats). That made me happy. She doesn't charge too much and has a great personality. I will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I’ve loved being around dogs ever since i was a little kid. I love taking them out for walks and just being around them in general. I have been raising English Bulldogs for the last 12yrs before that i was really into Pitbulls but when my last companion past way I decided to move on to a smaller yet still playfull breed. I walk my kids daily my dogs are my kids. And i hope i can bring some stress relief by walking your kids. I’m mainly looking to do some dog walking maybe also some visits so ur pet gets some relief maybe a little running time outside while your at work. My house is completely fenced in so i let my kids run freely while I’m gone, they are super friendly so i keep it locked so no one gets tempted to take them. Depending if i do at my house day care i do have a separate backyard that’s fenced in and I can accommodate that way keeeping the pets separate if needed. But I'm here manly to do dog walks.

“Joshua is great with our sweet shep girl. He is enthusiastic when he greets her and always gives us a report about how the walk went. Our pup looks forward to his visits!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my loving ,caring, compassionate, kindness towards animals. As I have two lovely bunnies that took lots of bonding and trusting I feel confident with my love for animals. My skills are to always make sure pets feel loved and cared for and given the needs they need from feeding to playing to walking to cuddling and make sure they feel super happy as there owner is absent but also being able to clean there needs such as litter boxes to poopie . This is why I believe I would be a wonderful animal babysitter since I have taken care of many animals such as newborns to puppies to big doggies or any type of animal:) Pet care fits in to my schedule perfectly as I’m in college from 10:30 to 12:35 from MTWT I have the rest of the day and mornings before class to pet care and weeks full ability I care very deeply for my animals at home as in my home I have lovely doggies they aren’t mine but my sisters or parents I will still care for them whenever they can’t, like babysitting. From feeding to playing to cuddles to anything I make sure they have fun. From my own pets I am a lovely mom to two bunnies who get so much attention and love and playtime and bonding time to trust as bunnies take lots of patients and love so I would be willing to baby animal sit :)
11. Edith L.
“Edith is the best pet caregiver I've met. She is an ER Vet Tech, so I have always felt super comfortable leaving my dog with her as she is very knowledgeable and has dedicated her life to animals. She is incredibly responsible, responsive, and experienced. My dog takes various medicines and Edith has always done a wonderful job administering them. I have complete confidence in her ability to take care of my dog!”
12. Jazmin G.
About: I've been looking after pets since I was 12, from neighbor to family pets. My responsibilities have extended from walking the pets to sleeping next to them so they'll feel at ease. Puppies and cats have been trusted upon me and I can confidently say that I'm a puppy expert. I've worked with many different dogs and I've loved every single one. Anything that your pup or kitty requires will be my top priority. I am currently a stay at home wife, so for pups that need to be under constant watch there is no problem, I'll be available. This also goes for senior dogs who may have to be let outside more often. I'm fully available to the needs of your pets! My way of caring for a pet will always be based off of what you as an owner tells me needs to be done. My goal is to try to keep your pert as comfortable as possible while their mom and dad are gone. I'm a stickler for rules and every pet owner has a certain way of doing things with their pet and I will abide by that routine to keep your pet stress free.
13. Brittney M.
“Brittney is great with animals! We have a pure breed husky, half husky, half german shepherd, and a cat. She was so good with them. She feed them all the right portions, gave our dogs nice long walks, and played with them. When our purebred husky injured himself she helped me keep his legged wrapped up so he would not make it worst.”

“In the last couple of years that Jasmin has walked my dog, a small and very energetic Chihuahua mix, she has never disappointed me. She always shows up on time to give him his walks and my dog loves her very much and is always very happy to see her! Jasmin is always a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver! She is very friendly, thoughtful, reliable, responsible and enthusiastic :)”
17. Jade R.
“Jade was able to help us out immediately when our scheduled dog sitter couldn't show up. She took great care of our babies, was very sweet to them and responsible. They were happy as could be when we got home. We look forward to using her again! Thanks so much, Jade! 🤩”
18. Kate M.
“My family calls Kate the dog whisperer. She's a dog mom and has worked with dogs for a few years now. She's an advocate for healthy foods and safety and knowledgeable about different breeds of dogs. Kate comes highly recommended!”
