5. Trina P.
“I wasn't sure how Pivo would handle being with other dogs, but was having a hard time finding a sitter who didn't have dogs who would be available for the dates I needed. I approached Trina even though she has her own dogs. She encouraged us to do a meet-and-greet in her home, and the dogs got along great right from the get-go! Trina and her family clearly love dogs, and made Pivo a member of the household. Trina learned the hard way what a bed hog Pivo is LOL! He came home totally relaxed and happy. Trina's a keeper, very easygoing, accommodating, and kind! Thank you, Trina!”

20. Sara A.
About: I grew up surrounded by four dogs of various ages and breeds, giving me firsthand experience in tailoring care to their unique needs. From energetic puppies to senior companions, I’ve learned how to provide the attention, exercise, and care they require. Currently, I share my home with a cat, which has deepened my understanding of feline care and affection. My experience with both dogs and cats ensures your pet will receive personalized, loving care while you're away! My schedule is flexible, and I’m always willing to work with the needs of my clients to ensure their pets receive the best care. I can check on your pets before and after work, and on my days off, I’m happy to provide 24/7 care or house-sitting as needed. While my work schedule is currently fluctuating, I’m more than happy to discuss and coordinate times that work best for you and your furry friends! When caring for a client’s pet, my approach is always tailored to the unique needs and personality of each animal. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method because every pet is different—some thrive on active play and social interaction, while others may need a quieter, more structured environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements they may have, ensuring their well-being and comfort are always prioritized. Whether it’s managing specific dietary needs, administering medications, or adjusting to their energy levels, I plan my care based on what works best for them. I’m naturally affectionate, so I ensure that pets feel loved and secure in my care. Housing arrangements would include plenty of attention, cuddles, and interactive play to make them feel at home. For dogs, consistent walks and outdoor activities are part of their routine to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. My goal is to provide not just care but companionship, treating every pet as if they were my own. Ultimately, I strive to create an environment where pets feel happy, safe, and cherished while meeting their specific needs.
