About: Hi! My name is Camryn and I'm 24 years old. I'm a responsible, calm, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and creating a peaceful home environment. I recently graduated and am coming back for summer break after playing professional volleyball in Europe. I’m disciplined, reliable, and used to maintaining routines — which I know is especially important when it comes to pets feeling safe and comfortable. I'm also very respectful of other people's homes. I keep spaces clean, organized, and well cared for, and I approach house sitting with the mindset that I'm looking after something important to someone else, because I know how much trust that takes. l'd love the opportunity to care for your home and pets and make sure everything runs smoothly while you're gone. I love house and pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My schedule is super flexible and I also enjoy having a routine and spending time in new places in a more local, relaxed way, it's a great fit for my personality. I care for pets by creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care instructions (like medication or special diets).

About: Since I was little I have always had pets. Started with two dogs, then bunny rabbits, cats, and more dogs! Around 2012 is when we were down to 1 dog and 1 rabbit and decided we were going to work with a local shelter and be foster parents to make sure these pups found a great home and were trained and nourished before the went. We have fostered from puppies to a few years old of all different kinds of dogs. With having pets all my life and my sister being a vet to give me advice, I feel that I am capable of being a reliable caregiver to your pets as well! I currently just moved to Florida to complete my degree in physician assistant studies. This is will be the most difficult thing I have ever done and will not have time for a full time job. Being able to provide times that I am available is extremely convenient for my grueling schedule of graduate school. I am available all week days just about until school starts and I get a routine down. I think its a great idea to take dogs on as many walks as much as possible to socialize when they can. Taking them for walks or even to a park/fenced in field is a great way I like to take care of my pup. All I ask is that you let me know if they are good with other animals.

About: Hello! My name is Bernadette. I am a 23 year old college student. Growing up, (even though my parents didn't appreciate it) I was the girl who would always bring home strays. I would either some how persuade my parents to keep the dog I found or would help place the dog into a nice loving home. Ever since I could remember, my family would have several dogs at a time... So now caring for them is second nature. When I first started attending college I would always find myself puppysitting/dogsitting for several of my friends whenever they went out of town for few days. Then, when I heard about this app, I thought what better way to utilize and expand on my care for animals! To me dogs aren't just pets, they are family. I am a fellow dog lover and would love to take care of your fur babies. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to inquire further. Thank you and I look forward to taking care of your best friend!

About: I’ve owned multiple dogs throughout my life. I have also dog and house sat for many friends and family. Currently I have one dog and two cats. I have past experience working with a police canine officer and his canine. I wish to one day own a dog sanctuary and try end kill shelters. I am currently a part-time online college student so I am able to make my schedule fit your dog’s schedule, whenever they need me I’ll be there! Trust is the biggest factor when building a relationship with any dog. I try to create the most calm and relaxed environment making it easier for them to warm up to me. I take cues from the dogs to ensure we have a strong bond. By doing this I have never met a dog who I can’t bond with.

About: I have had dogs the entirety of my life, so I grew up knowing how to care for animals. I have had experiences with a variety of animals and breeds. I am currently a part time college student with a relatively flexible schedule. I am often available in the middle of the day and evenings. I prioritize building trust, so my time with pets and respect there personal space. I enjoy running around and playing with higher energy pets but I get along with any energetic level. I know how to maintain obedience without being harsh, and I make sure to carefully follow what the owners say.

About: My hubby and I are home and pet sitters for folks on LBK and surrounding areas. We LOVE some pups to play/spend time with when sitting pet-friendly condos and are also able to come stay with your pet in your home. We will play inside and outside, go for walks, use their family/familiar commands, snacks, food, and naps. Will follow any needed structure requested; example: if you do not allow your dog on furniture, I will follow suit. I offer overnight stays as well as daytime care, a la cart services as needed. I am currently at home each day so have plenty of time to play with and care for pups. I would enjoy the companionship myself as well! We are home and pet sitters and travel often. Although we tend to travel to the same places (clients) each year, our boarding availability depends on the condo we are sitting at the time and it's pet rules. If I cannot board your pup in at my place, I can usually come to you or provide daily drop-ins.

Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!

About: I've always had a strong interest and appreciation for animals, particularly dogs. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. Additionally, I'm a pet photographer with a BFA in photography. My own dog is very old and requires a lot of medical treatments, which also sets me apart in terms of my experience dealing with medications for pets. Lastly, I am not afraid of otherwise difficult breeds to play with, such as pit bulls, if I have met the dog and understand its temperament. I am a photographer and often work from home. Rarely does a job take me away from the house for more than several hours. The rest of the time, I do computer work while taking care of my own dog. I live in a gated condo community that offers ample spaces for pets. Additionally, I am fortunate to live near the water, allowing me to frequently take my own pet for walks at the beach.
