Christina did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. She clearly communicated with us to set expectations beforehand, followed our instructions carefully, and kept us updated every day.

Christine cared so well for my little girl and left my apartment very clean to come home to after a long trip. She was responsive, on time with her visits, and diligent with taking care of my cat. I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much for everything, Christine!

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have experience caring for many different types of pets, including dogs, rabbits, and birds. I also owned a German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, structure, and exercise. I previously worked as a vet tech, where I learned how to properly handle animals, recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and provide attentive care. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during walks and visits. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. I enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely love. I currently work during the weekdays, but I’m available most evenings as well as Thursdays and weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I like staying active, so dog walking fits naturally into my schedule, and I always make sure pets get attentive, reliable care and plenty of attention during visits. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs. I make sure they get exercise, fresh water, attention, and a calm environment. With my previous vet tech experience, I’m also attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and always prioritize safety. I treat every pet with patience and care as if they were my own.

About: I have a flexible schedule that would allow me to come and drop by along with pet sitting. I have grown up with pets and had learned to take care after them. Personally I have watched family and friends animals while away. I have two cats and a dog of my own. I love all animals big and small. Having me watch over your pet will relieve your anxiety as you are away, your pet will be in good hands and taken care of. We all like to know our pets are okay without being there to watch them. I love animals and to take care of them for you when in need would be a pleasure. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! I have the availability to come by after work during the week for pet care as well free weekends to visit or stay with pet(s) if necessary. I have two cats and a dog of my own that I care for daily and show lots of love to. With your pets I would show them the same care with respect to your home and rules if you have any for their care.

Wendy did a fabulous job watching our two fur babies! Being out of the country I'm always frightened the AC will stop working for some odd reason, but she assured me that the house remained cool the entire time. Located in the same town as me, she could come to the house quickly if needed. The house was clean and tidy just like we left it. We'll definitely use her on our next trip!

About: I’m a long-time cat and dog owner with experience caring for friends’ and families’ pets as well. I have lots of free time and flexible availability. I currently work part-time where I choose my own hours! I’m looking forward to using my free time to care for your pets and give them my full attention. I will care for your pets in whichever way best works for you. I’ll keep them safe and away from other animals and humans on walks, give them the right amount of exercise for their breed or size, and give them all the pets and attention they could ever ask for.

About: I have had a pet by my side since the day I was born. Pets are family and they deserve to be treated as such. Specifically, I have cared for other pets the last 7 years; feeding and cleaning fish tanks, overnight stays combined with daily dog walks and changing cat litter and cleaning their coats. To care for other's pets is a privilege that I do not take lightly, there is trust and commitment needed. I want to allow individuals to feel comfortable that their pet is cared for in times when they are unable to do so themselves. Above all else if a pet needs care, I want to provide them with a friendly face, playful affect and calm presence to ensure successful care treatment. I am currently working a full-time job that requires me to work 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. I occasionally work 1 day of the weekend and will provide full schedule is a service is requested. I will provide open and honest communication with client and maintain a flexible schedule outside of work hours. Currently I am unable to board pets in my home. It is something I hope can happen later in life at a different residence. In the client's home, I will care for their pet as they would like me to, ultimately wanting the pet to maintain their normal schedule as best as possible.

About: For the past ten years, I’ve dedicated myself to providing professional, high-quality pet care, specifically focusing on dog walking/sitting. Over the last decade, I haven’t just walked dogs—I’ve managed schedules, built deep trust with clients, and mastered the art of understanding animal behavior and safety. Whether navigating the logistics of running a busy daily schedule or ensuring that every dog in my care receives personalized attention and exercise, I treat the responsibility with the highest level of professionalism. Ten years in this industry has taught me incredible time management, adaptability, and how to deliver exceptional, reliable service that keeps clients coming back Im my own boss! I work my own hours and will schedule according to YOUR needs!! Early mornings, mid day or late nights… whatever works for you! Animals will be kept at close distance and leashed. I have my own transportation (if needed). When I am with the pet my attention is completely focused on them!

About: Sometimes I think that I just prefer animals to people. I mean I like people sometimes, but I like animals more. They're so naturally honest and genuine. I already go on frequent walks, so I may as well have some good company walking with me. I love to help our furry friends get some exercise too. I try to give a lot of attention. Some animals love to be cuddled and others love to play. I've played with animals off and on for years, though I personally prefer to snuggle with them. My friend's border collie loves to be held and have her belly rubbed.

About: Full-time aunt to Kobe, a silky terrier 6 year-old sassy, well trained boy, with a strong personality. Part-time aunt to all of my friend's animals, cats/dogs, of all shapes and sizes. Super observant of animal behavior in order to understand animals needs. Highly prioritize communicating with owners about their animals, to learn and adapt to animals/owners needs. I enjoy active days, especially with a cool dog to run around or play ball with. I'm also just as good at lounging around as your cat is, if it needs someone to fluff around with, I'm that person too. I can hold down my own, when it comes to extra large sized animals or even the fiercest of them all- the tiny animals. Besides creating a fun environment for your animals, I'm also creating a positive active environment for myself. Nothing makes me happier than cool animals, they are great company. I am a fan of walks as it is, so to have an animal join me in my outdoor adventures sounds like the perfect day to me. I am currently in a space where I am working from home, so it's been nice to have the company from all the animals as well as a reason to get up from my desk during the daily walks. I am quite clean when it comes to animals, so wiping of the paws after entering from the outdoors is on a list of to-do's for me. They do after all, sleep in our beds and walk on our couches. I also do not like ingredients like wheat and filler, so I always make sure to have any/all treats or foods with ingredients that will elongate the life rather than cut it short. I do not actually have the space to board at this time, but I am more than accommodating to keeping animals in their home space to make sure they are in their most comfortable mental state, while their parent/parents are away.
