1. Berta S.
“Berta took exceptional care of our two dogs. We appreciated the daily pictures and updates while we were gone. She stayed at our home while we were out of town, and we returned to find everything neat and clean.”
2. Rebecca S.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals/pets; from growing up with goats and horses, to dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my neighbors as a pre-teen and into my 20s. I always enjoy bonding and providing quality care for humans’ best friends! I currently work full time (8-3:30pm) M-F, but I live close to my work, so I can be home midday for my lunch break. I have a lot of free time in the afternoon/evening to play and bond with the animals. I also have full availability on the weekends. I do not have any other pets currently at my home, I live in a neighborhood that is close to the park, so we can walk there easily and safely get some exercise!
3. Cassandra K.
“Cassandra is just the sweetest! Our dogs get over the moon excited when she walks through the door! She’s incredibly patient and kind and her black lab is probably the best trained dog I’ve ever seen.”
4. Aidan P.
“Aidan is a great caretaker!! He was super attentive with my two cats, Simba and Scarlet, and got along with them perfectly. I was nervous how Scarlet would be around him since she isn’t the best with new people, but she warmed up to Aidan like she was his cat. He groomed them, kept their food and water full at all times, and made sure their litter box was always clean. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a loving and caring animal caretaker.”
5. Jonathan T.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats more since I was little. I’ve bonded with family and friends pets very well and helped out in care. Currently I’m working on my new job for the Alaska marine highway and in the process of getting a part time job. Free any day. I have three dogs currently, very well loved. They spend a lot of time being free around the house. Trained very well. They love playing.
