“Dameng was incredible! From start to finish. He was thorough in reading Georgie’s past history, kind upon meeting him, asked the right questions, and offered to help around the home. He was also great in sending pics and refilling our little kitten’s bowel. Definitely will recommend and use his warm friendly services again!”

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including my own domestic shorthair cat. Because I work from home and live in the Meridiana neighborhood, my drop-in schedule is very flexible. As a cat owner, I understand how much pets depend on a calm, clean, and comfortable environment, especially when their family is away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent care, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m gentle, patient, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I also know that some cats need time and space to warm up, so I always respect each pet’s personality and comfort level. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for drop-in visits during most weekdays and weekends, and I can usually adjust my time to fit your pet’s normal routine. Because I live in the Meridiana neighborhood, I’m especially flexible for nearby visits. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving your pet some attention while you’re away. Please feel free to message me about your preferred visit time, and I’ll do my best to make it work.

“This is the second time I’ve booked with them, and once again it was a great experience. They are very nice, trustworthy, and clearly care a lot about my cats. The cats love them and get plenty of playtime and attention. Communication is always excellent, which makes it very easy to rely on them and feel at ease while I’m away. I’ll definitely keep booking with them in the future.”

About: I’ve always taken care of pets. Whether it’s family or friends, I’ve always loved to do it! Animals are definitely a specialty of mine. I’m a full time student with lots of extra time to take care of your pup! After classes, I’m free for the rest of the day! I have a fenced yard and all the toys your little pup could imagine! I have a large sized crate for your pup if needed as well, and a few dog gates.

“Shes super! Great to work with and trust worthy! My dogs loved her instantly and she gave a thorough update about how the visit went considering my short notice request. Took all of my worries away. Thank you so much Abbie! Keep up the great work!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. In 2020, I adopted an anxious and reactive 1 year old dog, and spent a lot of time learning dog behavior and how to bond with my dog using positive reinforcement techniques. Outside of personal experience, I have been pet sitting for close friends and family for the last 8 years. Fun fact: In the last year, I have also been raising my own chicken flock! I love constantly learning different things about different animals and their needs. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability to do drop-ins and playtime. With ample notice, house sitting can also be worked on with your schedule. I highly prefer a meet and greet so I can know your routine with your pets. I would like to be able replicate that routine to reduce as much stress and anxiety as possible for your pets. In the summer time, I am very vigilant about watching out for overheating and fatigue. I value open communication and will always update you when there is something that seems unusual with your pet or home care. For house sitting, I will only be in or use things in my designated areas and will double check house security at all times.

About: Hi, I’m Kyree, a dedicated dog lover with one year of experience caring for dogs. I’ve dog sat before, including a week-long stay, and I’ve personally raised my own dogs to be well-behaved and smart through daily care, patience, and consistency. 🐾 Caring for dogs fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy being outside and staying active. I plan to do this as a part-time job, and dog walking allows me to combine my love for dogs with exercise, fresh air, and positive interaction. When I care for dogs in a client’s home, I treat them like my own. On walks, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, fresh water, and lots of positive attention while following the owner’s routine.

“Work ended up going later than expected and they were available extremely last minute to check on the dogs. They are literally life savers ♥️”

(I make sure to walk early morning or later at night when it’s hot). I am available any day and time. I am a stay at home mom and I do school on my laptop. I am ready to care for your furry friends. I had a dog for8 years that just recently passed away. He was the sweetest dog you will ever meet. We have a fenced in yard and three children.

About: I’ve been around dogs and other animals for most of my life. My family has always had pets, and I’ve personally owned and cared for multiple dogs over the years. I got my first dog, Coco, when I was 8 years old, and caring for her taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I’m currently a Biology student pursuing a career as a veterinarian and am actively completing veterinary clinical hours at a veterinary clinic. Through this experience, I’m gaining hands-on knowledge of animal care, behavior, health monitoring, and handling techniques. In high school, I was involved in FFA, where I raised and cared for a pig, giving me additional experience with animal husbandry and daily animal care responsibilities. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or attentive care while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect that I would my own pets. I am currently completing veterinary clinical hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM as part of my preparation for veterinary school. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Caring for animals is an important part of my future career goals, and I enjoy spending time with pets while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a veterinary extern and future veterinarian, I have experience working around animals in a clinical setting and understand the importance of monitoring behavior, appetite, activity level, and overall well-being. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. I am comfortable cleaning up accidents, providing basic grooming and hygiene care, and giving pets the patience and attention they deserve. Every pet in my care will be treated with the same level of respect and compassion that I would give my own animals.
