Giselle is are now go to sitter! She is extremely good at following my crazy helicopter dog mom instructions😂 she is very professional and did everything we needed of her perfect and went above our expectations!! Our German shepherd is a little shy and also a ball of energy once warmed up and he loves her and we are so thankful for that because he can have a hard to warming up to people. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

It was our very first time using this service and we were a bit nervous. Jeff was available even on the short notice. From the first time we met Jeff we felt good. He is an experienced sitter. Cats felt comfortable around him. Jeff was very responsible. He ensured we received photos from each visit. Cats looked good and relaxed. Definitely will be calling him again in the future.

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an important part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese poodle, and helped take care of her as she grew into her senior years. Most of my family members have dogs, and we consider them as family, not just pets. Within the last year, my husband and I got a new puppy, and I'm adoring being a dog mom! With this in mind, don't be afraid to ask if I'm willing to watch your young puppy. Age is not a problem for me, and I am happy to come alongside your training process if you wish. I guarantee that your fluffy friend will be in the best of hands as you come to me for your pet-sitting needs. I will be sure to offer frequent photo updates and check-ins, and my puppy would love to come with me as I care for your pet, providing them with a new fluffy friend! I would love to make quality pet care my part-time job this summer, so I am happy to work with your schedule. I am available any day of the week except for Sundays. My routine with my own pup includes lots of exercise (to get that puppy energy out) and snuggle time too. However, I am happy to cater to your dog's age and stage of life. While walking your furry friend, I will be extra mindful and only take them on routes I know are trustworthy and safe. In your home, you can trust me with all of their needs and to be respectful of your family's space. I will send frequent updates and photos of your pet, and will do my very best to blend in with your pet's pre-established schedule, so their needs will be more than met.

Taylor was a God- send this past week with the terrible weather, especially cold,we had. Taylor was there twice a day - she even offered to shovel the driveway but I didn’t want her going through that! Ollie loves her and she is the only person who comes in the house that he doesn’t run from. That speaks volumes about her. We’re fortunate enough to have her for two more occasions this year.

Emma is once again amazing. Great care of our cats but even more impressive was that she found and handled an unexpected bat!! I imagine many individuals would simply pretend they didn’t see it and walk away. She notified immediately and we found a solution. My dad and husband (along with myself) were impressed by her poise and calm under pressure. We are so thankful!

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

About: I’ve had animals since I could remember! I went to college for Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I also have two dogs that loves to play with other dogs! I’m going to nursing school so I am almost always home! I’m sure your pet will have so much fun at my house with Sophie and Olive. You won’t have to worry about your animal getting into anything. I would prefer a cage be brought for when my boyfriend and I are not home, I do not want them getting into something they shouldn’t, but if not I also have a camera in the main room of the house to spy on them hehe! Late pick up fee: if 2-8hr late I charge 50% of daily rate, more than 8hr late will be charged the daily rate. After 8pm pickup will be charged $20, unless stated at time of original booking. Also if your dog jumps fences this is not the place to book! I have a 3.5ft and 4ft fencing on majority of the yard. My backyard has some 6ft fencing as well. Currently staying at home while in school so I have plenty of time to take care of animals! They can get water and potty breaks whenever needed. I have a fully fenced yard, front and back, as well as two very friendly and energetic pups to play with. Your pup will definitely be worn out!

About: Tyson was my first dog I got when I turned 17. We traveled everywhere together & he showed me how loving an animal can truly be. I am the first one my friends call to watch their animals. I absolutely love taking them on walks & I will love your fur baby like my own. I am currently working part time. I usually work around four to five days a week. And Im usually off Saturdays thru Mondays. Give or take I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

About: I have loved and tried to make friends with animals since I knew they existed. I have taken care of family members and friends animals for many years and being an animal owner myself I am well educated on their needs and body language. I currently work a part time job from 3 to 8 on week days and every other weekend so I do have a pretty tight schedule so the day I can work would be the some weekends, holidays and days I don’t have work. I don’t typically like to board animals in my own home but when I care for animals in client homes I spend a lot of time earning the animals trust and just spending time with them in general.

Trinity was a life saver. Our house-sitter left early and locked one of our cats in the room and trinity was able to come over for a drop in last minute. She cared for our cats, sent lots of pictures and gave them all the love that we weren't able to while away. We weren't able to meet and greet before hand but during the conversation she just made us feel like she had our home and cats in our best interest! Definitely booking her for regular drop ins.

About: Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of three years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine since I work part-time and take all my university classes online. This gives me the flexibility to schedule walks, playtime, and check-ins without conflicts. I can easily adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I have had animals my entire life. I also have some training in the Veterinary field if there is ever a problem! I have a Shih Tzu named Oscar, and a big fluffy mix named Jaydee Mae. I also have 4 cats, Felix, Joey, Ellie and Ruby! I also have a few years of dog training under my belt, so I can even train your puppies in basic obedience and potty training! I am currently working full time, however if I have a clientele, the goal is to do this work full time, work for myself, and be able to work any day, anywhere! My dogs are let out about 5 times a day on a schedule, or whenever they ask me to go out. My dogs also get fed one cup twice daily. My cats are a bit different. If the food bowl is empty, I will refill it. It's usually just a cup. I also love to take my dogs to the dog park, or I will take them on walks. My Boxer and Shih Tzu own my bed, but Brutus sleeps in his crate most nights. Otherwise, they have total freedom. I will care for your pets in however way you need them taken care of. However, there will be some amount of spoiling! I love to play with other people's dogs and take them on walks. I love bathing, feeding, cuddling, and well, you name it!

About: I've had experience taking care of animals (& dogs) of all sizes. I had a Great Dane for almost 8 years and I've also had small dogs so I know what to expect from any sized dogs. I love playing with dogs since they're so fun and high energy which is something I can relate to. Animals in general have always seemed to really like me for some reason. I've had pets throughout my entire life so I'm very used to being around animals of all sorts. I've had dogs, cats, fish, rats, a rabbit, a hedgehog, and a tarantula. I have a B.S. in biology with a focus on animals in my studies. I love all animals, but have always found myself to be a cat person at heart! I'm available after 3pm and all day on weekends. My work schedule is subject to changes, but I'm also rather flexible when it comes to times, just reach out to me. I have a fenced in yard, but I feel more comfortable with pets in a place where they're also most comfortable with me, so I've found not coming to my home better.

Philip took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were away on a week long vacation. He spent lots of quality time with all the animals and made sure they were all fed and well cared for. He sent us daily pictures of the pets. He administered our cat’s medication twice a day. He also watched the house, took out the trash and watered all our plants, I 100% recommend Philip and plan on using him every time we go out of town.

About: Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of three years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine since I work part-time and take all my university classes online. This gives me the flexibility to schedule walks, playtime, and check-ins without conflicts. I can easily adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

Tessa did a great job taking care of my three kitties and our bearded dragon! The litter was taken care of, and my kitties got their soft food every day while I was away.

Kaylynn has been a lover of animals from the time she was old enough to walk! She takes excellent care of her pets and considers them part of her family. Kaylynn has taken care of our pets (cat & dog) on a number of occasions and has done an outstanding job! Our furbabies love her and know she is there to love on them for a time. Our dog is 14 years old and takes medication every morning, Kaylynn had no qualms about giving the medication and did so with care and compassion. I highly recommend Kaylynn to be a "furbaby sitter" as she puts our pets first and treats them with kindness!

Connor has always been raised in a home with animals ranging from dogs, cats, and fish! He has had multiple breeds of dogs ranging from small and large, so he knows his way around caring for pets. He’s always been an animal person and I’m our 15+ years of friendship he’s been exposed to my families pets as well, in which we always had multiple cats and dogs. Anytime I need someone to watch my cats when I leave town Connor is the person I trust the most with them, they love him and he doesn’t just stop by to feed them and leave. He stays to socialize and play with them as well! Connor is not only familiar with animals but also friendly.

About: I've had experience taking care of animals (& dogs) of all sizes. I had a Great Dane for almost 8 years and I've also had small dogs so I know what to expect from any sized dogs. I love playing with dogs since they're so fun and high energy which is something I can relate to. Animals in general have always seemed to really like me for some reason. I've had pets throughout my entire life so I'm very used to being around animals of all sorts. I've had dogs, cats, fish, rats, a rabbit, a hedgehog, and a tarantula. I have a B.S. in biology with a focus on animals in my studies. I love all animals, but have always found myself to be a cat person at heart! I'm available after 3pm and all day on weekends. My work schedule is subject to changes, but I'm also rather flexible when it comes to times, just reach out to me. I have a fenced in yard, but I feel more comfortable with pets in a place where they're also most comfortable with me, so I've found not coming to my home better.
