Ruth was simply amazing! From the contact with me, to all the amazing time she spent with my cats! I couldn't recommend her any higher than 5 stars, but she deserves 100! Even my shy cat came out to great her a few times! She gave me peace of mind that my cats were well cared for and safe!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) (I cannot stay overnight!) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know! I have a dog of my own that is very friendly! If you'd like to socialize your pet I can help! I don't mind buying things to ensure your pets needs are met. (within reason and budget of course)

For anyone looking for a reliable person to drop in and care for your animals, Amber is that person! We recently hired Amber while out of town for our 5 animals. She was thorough in understanding the needs of each individual pet and all of the details that entailed, with clear communication before, during and after the visit. Thanks Amber!

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

About: I have taken care of all ages and levels of need dogs and cats (as well as a broad range of other animals like goats, horses, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc). From puppies to senior dogs and cats as well as dogs with extensive medical needs. I can administer insulin/shots and have also given medication in pill and liquid form. Whatever level of care your beloved pet may need, I would love to help! I currently have open availability and can shift my routine to meet your schedule needs. I have a working car if needed for emergencies and I love going for walks. I’m happy to abide by any house rules you have for your space and any additional needs you may have. I send pictures/videos of your furry family member at least once a day and prefer to send them more often if you’re comfortable with that! Typically, I also do plant care as well if I am pet sitting in your home.

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once. I regularly cared for a household with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m also a pet owner myself (one dog and two cats), so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every animal like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, very responsive, and available for last-minute bookings when needed. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send updates/photos, and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. I work full time but I am remote, so taking time during the day is no problem in addition to availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, I’m committed to making your time away stress-free for both you and your pets. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy, and I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with small extras like bringing in mail or watering plants.

T.J was the perfect match for my high energy fur baby Isabella, she was given all his attention from playtime to potty time. He followed all her feeding routines for her and my baby kitten Levi very well. Sent me pics and messages throughout his time with them. Felt very comfortable especially knowing he gave me his time to meet her prior to booking which was wonderful. Highly recommend
