About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 9 years old. Ever since my dog Daisy died when I was in High School I have been jumping at the opportunity to care of my friends and families pets. It is always the highlight of my day to visit the different pets and I would almost say I like to see my families pets more then my actual family. I work from home full time and always have time during breaks and right after work to fit in a walk or visit for food. On the weekends I have more time to do multiple visits and walks. I have usually gone to my friends houses but my apartment does allow pets so I could take care of them here too. My apartment easy access to safe walking and a place for the bathroom.

13. Genesys T.
About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. I am a work from home, travel, business owner, and therefore have a lot of flexibility on my hands to be able to work anywhere! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.
14. Emily A.
About: I’ve owned and volunteered with a variety of animals since a very young age, started volunteering for Down by the Creek Animal Rescue when I was around 11 years old which rehabilitated and housed animals of anything you can possibly imagine. I’m currently available full time and every single day of the week! I however would prefer to not have to do any over night stays anywhere. I have collars, leashes and harness because of the fact my yard is not fenced in. I also have baby gates to section off parts of the house so everyone can stay safe!
15. Katie J.
“Always on time, never late. Katie is very kind and makes sure my dogs are well taken care of. Will continue to book her for future!”
16. Amanda K.
“Amanda has been a pillar in my life, and in the life of my two tweens. I had an out-of-town weekend and Amanda stayed with my children, got them to school, fed them dinner, etc. But the best part was how she handled their tweenie attitudes. She was firm, honest, and gave them straightforward consequences for their actions and behavior: She actually empowered them to be better people. Oh, ops. Was this supposed to be a testimonial for pet sitting? She did that, too. Walked the dogs, fed the cats, honored the house rules about furniture, and I got super cute photos of them all in action. She took care of the pets for both day-at-a-time and when we were away for a few days at a time. She's great for both the pets and the pets!”
17. Sheila M.
“Sheila had dogs at home while growing up A Great Dane from birth to 4 years old. Later, a Golden Retriever from 8 years old to her college years. As an adult she's had a Pug for many years, and currently a Chow Chow She loves animals and also has cats, and chinchillas. Sheila has always been polite, reliable, and responsible.”
