1. Neil U.
“Neil would be an excellent caregiver for pets. He loves animals as if they were his own children. I have witnessed him care for his pets like they were his own kids and he would go to the end of the world for his pets and for others also. He is also an excellent trainer of pets. He has a nice park very close to his house that he takes his dog to daily for walks and training sessions. Neil would be very trustworthy and reliable with your pet. You can count on him.”

About: I have grown up around animals all my life living out in the country. I grew up on a chicken farm and then from there 20+ acres of land with many animals I had to learn to care for at a young age. Additionally, I have also pet sit for my family and friends when they are out of town. I just recently pet sitted for about two months and it was a blast. It’s safe to say, I truly do have a love for any and every animal. Full time and part time availability! Flexible schedules available as well. I will work with with you in whatever way I can schedule wise to meet your needs. I go to your home , and take your dog and/or cat for walks to parks, trail, or around the neighborhood. And of course if there is a little time left, we’ll play one more time before I leave!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I also have experience working with exotic animals such as kangaroos and camels. Anything a dog may need I’m happy to give. Dogs are like family, I consider mine my children. I currently work at a safari park and own a horse boarding facility. So I will be available to provide for the dogs almost all day. And when I’m not there they’ll have a large fenced backyard to enjoy. I have a well fenced in back yard with shelter from the elements. If the need arises they will be brought in to either my home or the barn for their safety.

About: Ive taken care of my neighbors cats and walked other friends dogs multiple times and I've always loved all kinds of animals I've also taken care of my brothers snake before as well I'm available to walk, drop in or even house sit all kinds of animals. I can do it mainly during the day but I can also do house sitting that requires over night stays I can't have other dogs to come over to my house due to having 2 other dogs and 3 cats in the house so I can't bring them here. But I have plenty of experience caring for them in other environments

12. Dominique M.
“I hired Dominique while I was working a 3 month contract in Perryville. Her pricing was very reasonable. She was very easy to work with and never missed a day. She treated my dogs well and they always seemed happy when I returned home. I would highly recommend her. She is very trustworthy. She had a key to my camper and there was never a concern of any sort with her being in my home unsupervised. I would definetly rehire her if I'm ever back in the area.”

“Cameron was great with our pup! She was kind and considerate and sent us updates while we were gone. I will definitely use her for sitting in the future!”


14. Sarah H.
About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life. Recently, I only have a kitten at home currently, but I've cared for all ages and sometimes even special needs animals. I have my kitten on a timed eating schedule with wet food to help her get all the nutrients she needs. She also has toys for stimulation, and I play with her daily to increase her stamina and decrease pet depression. For cats, I keep them indoors and make sure they have enough stimulation in their environment. For dogs, it would depend on the weather, the backyard setup, and the specific care that each different individual animal may need.
