12. Emily S.
About: Aside from spending the summers of my childhood at my grandparents' farm, I have grown up with animals my whole life! Although I have spent most of my childhood/teens years surrounded by pups, I also have quiet the experience with cats as well. Throughout my teenage years, I would often housesit/catsit for my lovely neighbors for weeks/months at a time while they would often travel the world. Through this I learned how to properly care for both cats and dogs. Although I have always had animals in my family's household, I currently have a pup of my own. Her name is Maya and she is a Husky mix. I adopted her last February and she recently just turned one in December. My sweet girl has taught me so much in such a short amount of time, and after extensive research I was able to give her the proper training and attention needed. I was gifted an amazing animal and she to this day is one of the most well behaved pups I have ever met! Because of her, I am positive that I am capable of helping out with animals of all age ranges. Can't wait to meet your little friends!! I am currently a part-time student and am available most days of the week, including weekends! I typically only work Thursday and Friday of the week but am available in the mornings of both days. Other than that, I am available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday. I have a fenced yard and heated/air conditioned sunroom for pups to play if my home is ever needed! I also have a crate for medium sized animals as well, if pup parent would prefer any type of crate training!
13. Fanny H.
“A caring and excellent sitter. She was very accommodating to our dog's needs, and our dog looked very happy during the time spent there. Would highly recommend.”
14. Barbara B.
About: I have been dog-sitting for family and neighbors locally for the past 7 years. I have dogs of my own who are spoiled and treat other’s pets as my own. My current pet-sitting schedule and availability is open. I work part-time and have flexibility on the weekdays and I am also open on the weekends. I provide care for your pets off the directions and specifications provided. All pets are completely unique and have different needs and levels of care. I enjoy providing extra attention and play to dogs who have anxiety. This can get overlooked when families are busy in their routines, or the dog is a rescue, and this is so important for pet wellness.
15. Cameron T.
“Cameron was fantastic. She kept me up to date with texts and pictures. Finny loved having a new companion to take him for a walk and play in the unexpected snow. Thank you for your help Cameron!”
16. Carly A.
“Carly is soooo amazing!! I will definitely use her again. She helped me with my little guy while he was sick and I was away at military training with no way to care for him myself. Will definitely use her again!!”
17. Jacob F.
“Jacob is super amenable when it comes to being entrusted with tasks, especially the ones regarding our sweet furry friends. He is a tender and kindhearted person, so animals take to him super well! Having grown up with a big dog, he is able to handle small to large animals. I have no doubt that leaving your furry friend in his safekeeping will only lead them to be extremely loved on and well taken care of!!”
18. Leila V.
About: I’ve always loved animals ever since I’ve been introduced to them. It’s fed into my dream of wanting to become a vet because I want to make the world better for them since they don’t have their own voices to speak their opinions. Im looking for a job at the moment and want to get into the animal field so I’ll be doing this and working a part time job. I can do 3-11 pm on weekdays but on weekends I'm free anytime honestly. I won’t be taking care of anyone’s pets in my home because my cat Loki doesn’t like other cats and dogs so I want to respect that.
19. Alan & April M.
“Very reliable and great communication. Alan and April were very accommodating if I had last minute schedule changes. Always sent lots of great pictures.”
20. Gaby V.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Gabriela to pet sit for my furry friend, and I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention she provided. Gabriela is an incredibly skilled and attentive pet sitter who clearly has a deep love and respect for animals. During her time caring for my pet, Gabriela went above and beyond to ensure that my pet felt safe, comfortable, and happy. She took the time to get to know my pet's likes, dislikes, and routines, and was always willing to go the extra mile to provide personalized care and attention. In addition to her exceptional pet-sitting skills, Gabriela is also a pleasure to work with. She is punctual, reliable, and communicates clearly and consistently throughout the pet-sitting process. Overall, I would highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled pet sitter. Her dedication to her work and her genuine love for animals truly sets her apart, and I feel lucky to have found such a wonderful caregiver for my furry friend.”
