Mali is so great with dogs! She grew up in a house where her mother ran a doggy daycare and as a result has experience with a wide variety of dogs. She has taken care of my chocolate lab, Jasper, on several occasions as well, and he is always so happy to see her! She will do a great job walking your dog or taking care of them!

We LOVE that Grace took the effort and time to visit Kiwi in our home a couple of days before walking her! Our puppy loved her immediately and Grace was awesome with her. She took some great photos of Kiwi and she looked so happy!

Lauren has a gift with animals. All animals. Since she was little they have migrated to her and her need to save them all. We have had dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, snakes, rats, turtles, and fish. She completed the Jr. Zoo Keeper program in middle school and has been riding horses since she was 3 years old. NO one will take better care of your pet.

Porfirio is a kind hearted patient person. While I may only have a cat and a plant he’s the person I call every time to feed and water both while I’m gone. I know he’ll go beyond and above to not only feed my cat but give her love while I’m not there to.

Angela is wonderful with pets and takes very good care of dogs and cats alike. One of the best things about her as a pet caretaker is her enthusiasm and positive attitude that the animals certainly pick up on. She is very attentive to their needs and respectful of their boundaries - she won't pet unless she's been given the okay by an owner and a good sniff from the pet! Once she's welcomed by the pet, she will give all of the love that is needed and more, following any instructions that have been given to her to the letter. Overall, I have no doubt that she is able to take care of any pet, big or small, and bring a lot of love to their life!

About: We had family dogs growing up that I was tasked with walking, feeding and cleaning up after regularly as well as other pets. I love being outdoors and playing with animals is a bonus to working on screen all day. I’m working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m generally available early afternoon through the evening for potty, play dates and longer walks around town. I have a closed in back porch that can hold the dogs in the back yard away from the street and safe from any cars.

About: Hey there 👋 the name is David. Long time owner and caregiver of animals. I’ve interacted with many dog and cat breeds of varying sizes and temperaments throughout the years. I currently work closely with rescue organizations to neuter/spay, socialize and eventually adopt out feral cats. I’ve also cared for injured and displaced wildlife such as owls and raccoons! I am currently a caretaker for a family member. I work alongside other people and I do not have any set hours so my schedule is very flexible. Aside from the occasional doctor appointment, I will almost always be available, including for short notice calls. When house sitting, I am open to stay the entire night and day while taking on smaller house duties like putting the trash out or watering plants. I can also do JUST overnighters or just morning to night stays. This would be wholly dependent on your own preferences and we can discuss this further to come to an agreement! For the time that I am with your loved ones, their wellbeing will always be my top priority. I have no particular bias towards any pet. If they are difficult to work with, I will approach them with caution and respect. I will never pretend to be special by expecting every single animal to show me love, but I will always love them as if they were my own. We will always be in touch—sending you updates whenever possible or when requested. Your ease of mind is just as important to me as their safety!
