About: I've had animals all my life. From cats to dogs to hedgehogs. It's always been important to me to show animals how much they're loved and appreciated because they have feelings too. I am 19 but didn't really start actually feeding a walking my animals until I was older to do it with my family. When I go to my friend's house I always love taking the dogs on walks, drives, or even just cuddling. I've experienced all animal ages from puppies/ kittens to senior dogs. I am currently on summer break from college. I will be a sophomore in the fall. I have a cat and family dog. My cat tipsy is who I take back to college with me. I wake up, feed him, play and cuddles then he usually naps and does his own thing. I clean his box and then feed him at dinner time. Same goes with my dog Lucy if my parents need me to give her, her medicine if they aren't there. They're both lazy and keep each other entertained so I have so much time throughout the day. I am very good with instructions and directions. if animal needs medicine I am great with that; my dog also takes medicine morning and night. If needing crating when I leave that's great too. I'm good with what ever you need my help for.
“Five stars isn't enough. Angela was simply amazing. She is patient, gentle, and loving with our big pup who just adored her. Angela is an awesome communicator, sending pictures and texts to keep us up to date every day. She was a lovely guest in our home and went above and beyond with her care. I can't say enough wonderful things about her, and she absolutely will be asked to stay here again!”
“Claire was absolutely amazing with our babies! It gave us such peace of mind to know they were being well taken care of and loved. She gave us updates, but didn't have to be in constant communication. We will definitely be calling Claire again!! 🐾🐾”
“Randi stayed at our house for a week to housesit and petsit our 3 dogs and backyard birds. We don't often travel so it was an adjustment for us and for our pets but Randi was reliable, calm, and patient and had everything under control. She gave plenty of updates during the week so we weren't worried during our time away and we returned to a house that was clean and tidy, all of the plants were thriving and all pets were happy and healthy. If Randi is available to take care of our pets, we might try to travel again!”
“Sydney is awesome and exceeded expectations during her first-time pet sitting for my dog with separation anxiety, who was extremely comfortable with her from the moment she walked in. Sydney provided picture updates and kept great company with my dog in my absence. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. If you're on the hunt for a someone who genuinely cares, Sydney's your person. Can't wait to book her again!”
