“Loralei took good care of my two senior dogs for an extended weekend. She followed the detailed instructions I left and kept me updated after each visit. It was my first-time using a dogsitter who wasn’t a friend or family. So I really appreciated how friendly and patient Loralei was with both me and the dogs. I will definitely reach out to her if I need a dogsitter in the future.”

About: I am a Veterinary Technician of 11 years and currently at a specialty practice, so I am able to administer medications and provide post-op care. I have open availability as I am at home with my new human addition. I am very loving with all animals and livestock. I am very familiar with "hard to handle" pets as well, even the spicy kitties. I am also CPR certified for cats and dogs. I have open availability now that I am a stay at home mom. I am very flexible with time requests as well. I am available on some holidays. I have one pet in the home. Reesie Marie is a sweet girl and loves to play ball, but is also older so she just hangs out on her little doggy couch. She gets along with all pets. I also have room to separate pets in case they do not get along.

About: I have had dogs and helped take care of them since I was 8 years old. My dream is to become a veterinarian one day. I currently work for a dog training facility as a kennel technician. I walk, feed, and make sure every dog in our care is healthy and taken care of as well as administer medications when needed. I currently work at a dog training facility in which the schedule changes. This will be on days when I am off to make sure I give your pets the best possible care and my full undivided attention. I have a fenced-in backyard, and I help play with them and ensure they have everything they need. I also do vet runs when needed.

16. Hunter B.
About: I am currently a student at Southeastern University And looking for part-time work. Taking care of your pets would be ideal! I was raised with and still take care of my two childhood pets, Gumbeaux and Roux. Gumbeaux and Roux are now in their older years (11 and 10. They are boxers who for years were full of rambunctious energy and need a lot of attention. They have been a full-time job, but I also have experience, taking care of friend’s pets as well. “ I am attending college and will need to work around my school schedule in the spring, which can be very flexible. Currently, I do not have any work or school obligations, and I would like to spend some time taking care of your pets” I usually feed, play, and cuddle with my own dogs at home. I know every dog is different and unique with their own needs and wants.
17. Wendy B.
“Wendy is the only person that I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with. Since their first stay with her, I have not left them anywhere else. They absolutely love her and get so excited when they see her. She plays with them, loves on them, gives them treats, and follows everything that I ask her to do with them. I never have to worry about them being mistreated or left in a kennel like most boarding places do. She even sends me pictures and a quick message to let me know how they are doing while I am gone. This always gives me reassurance that they are well taken care of so I can relax and enjoy my trip without having any worries. If you want your babies to feel like they are on a mini pupcation, send them to Wendy. You will be so glad that you did!”
