About: Just starting out on this app but I’ve worked with local shelters and pet owners in the area! Happy to provide references :) My entire family has farms so I've been around all kinds of animals my whole life. I occasionally foster with my local shelter, and have always been the crazy lady who feeds the street cats. Very excited to meet your fur kids! College student with a flexible schedule, so I can easily manage weekend drop offs and pick ups, as well as spare plenty of time for your well-loved pet(s) I have a spare bedroom that can be all theirs if they require it, but other than that the space is free for them to roam. I'm also located near many parks so they'll definitely get their exercise!

Raj was an amazing dog sitter! He took great care of Saint, providing plenty of walks, playtime, and updates with pictures. It was clear that he truly cares for animals and treats them like his own. Communication was easy, and I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Raj again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs. I love animals and take excellent care of them. My mom was a wildlife rehabilitator too so we also had squirrels, rabbits, and even a raccoon at one point! I'm currently looking for full-time work so I'm available and will try to be flexible for the time being. If I confirm a booking, I will be there! I am incredibly respectful of other people's things and try to leave things as if I was never there (except for your happy and relaxed pet, of course!).

About: I’ve taken care of all sized dogs big to small and all ages. Giving them love, attention, medicine and long walks and lots of play. Hi, I’m Samara! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to big gentle giants, and of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. Whether it’s providing love and attention, administering medication, going on long walks, or enjoying lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I also have a dog of my own—Jetta, a Canaan mix who’s 2 year old and on the bigger side. She’s a sweet girl but can be shy and cautious around new dogs until she gets to know them. She’s still learning to be confident in the world, so I completely understand how to work with nervous or timid pups at their own pace.

About: I love pets very much, I love everyone as my own and I will do it with pleasure and joy. I've had cats all my life. but when the war started - I took the puppy who was two months old because they were going to throw him out into the street. I took my baby when he was two months old, I taught him some commands, taught him to be clean, loving and polite to other people or animals❤️😌 My dog ​​has always been with me everywhere. I left him for a maximum of 4 hours a day, but gave a lot of games with food in return ;) I always watch them, see what they are doing, where they are going to go. on the street I control that they do not pick up anything in their mouths and do not flirt with other dogs (this is not always safe)

Chris has stayed with my cats several times and always takes really good care of them. They're happy and healthy when I get home, and I don't have to worry at all while traveling. He is a big dog lover, too, taking care of a friend's dog, and always sending me pictures of a happy dog doing happy things in the park!

Samara is a great dog sitter for me, My dog as trust issues and is extremely wary of people that do not live with her and have her trust, but she comes up to Samara, lets Samara Pet her, pick her up, and even lets Samara pick up her food bowl (shes very protective over her food). Samara will be a perfect pet caregiver, she will protect and comfort the dogs as if they were her own pet.
