16. Veronica P.
About: For as long as I can remember there has been a dog or cat in my home. I have had the privilege of being a pet owner and caring for animals that have brought me nothing but joy. There is nothing quite comparable to the love you have for your fur baby and I can ensure that I will take care of your babies as I would my own. I have experience with both small and large dog breeds as well as a lot of experience caring for cats. Currently, I am a Park Naturalist and work five days a week from 7:30AM to 4PM. I am available after 5PM on weekdays and am available for full days and overnights on weekends. I do work the occasional weekend, but that will always be reflected in my availability calendar. The animals in my home are of the utmost priority to me and it would be the same in your home. I know how hard it can be to leave your animal for the weekend or even just the day, but to know they are with someone who would care for them the way you would makes all the difference and I can ensure that I can be that person for you.


17. Ginelle C.
“Ginelle has a great love for animals and it shows in her work. She’s also great at communicating with clients. I would recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”


18. Jake T.
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals (lived on a farm). I love Pitbull and all kinds of cats. I volunteer with Paws For Cause, we help raise money to shelters, donate our time working to clean and care for all the animals. Buring high school I walked dogs for a little extra cash and would be happy to get back into it. I'm currently a full-time student, I also am a full-time over night stocker at walmart. I have a few hours in between my classes at OCC and would love to stop in and look after your pet or even walk a dog for an hour or so. As I've said before I'm an over night worker. I can watch you pet during the day at your house and leave at night for working and come back during my hour lunch if that's something you are looking for. I can try and work my schedule around yours and what you need. I'm great with animals and would keep your furry friend busy. I love walks and would enjoy getting to know your four legged friend. We would probably become selfie buddy's and of course I can keep you informed of all that happens during our time together with photo and text messages. Your house would look just the way you left it. Taking care of your furry friend also means keeping them clean and happy and I'd be happy to help.


19. Brittney M.
“I have 2 English bulldogs, one is a senior, 7 years old and one is a puppy 8 weeks old. Brittney has provided drop-in care for both of them. They both warmed up to her right away as she showed them love! She even tidied up and took out our trash! Highly recommended for your fur needs!”
