About: I've had many different pets my whole life! Anything from dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots etc! I'm a big animal lover and would love to extend my care and time to more animals! I’m currently working part time hours so I have a lot of availability and free time to spend with your pet. I’m rarely out for long hours and make sure to be home when a pet is scheduled for my care. I live on a non-busy street with a big wooded yard on two acres. It's not fenced in but I have a fenced in tennis court where animals can run free if they need exercise. I have a little shih tzu who couldn't be more gentle, loving, calm, and behaved. She roams free but I have big and small crates if you prefer your pet to be in a crate. Whatever specific requests you have I'll happily follow so your pet gets the best care that you can trust.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in high school, for my moms clients, my neighbors, family friends, and my own dogs through my life. I trained both my previous dog and my current dog. Baths, walks, special dinner requests, cleanup. I am currently working part time. I am looking and willing to dedicate the rest of the days off, weekends, and holidays to meeting some fur friends! By asking for specific instructions and carefully following them to ensure both the animals and myself have both a pleasant and safe experience with our time!
“Tawny was super responsive and took great care of my babies! They went above and beyond my expectations. Even when my kitties made a bit of a mess she cleaned it right up and informed me! My shyest cat loved her to bits too so if I ever need a sitter again I'm definitely choosing her!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have done dog walking for people around the neighborhood. I will board and care for dogs for family or friends whenever they go on trip. I love dogs and always make sure to cater to their needs while keeping an open line of communication so their parents know how they are doing. I work full time as a nanny from 8 - 5 so I mostly do dog walks during the week and I have my weekends fully open. I have a large, two bedroom apartment and 2 cats and 1 dog who are all very friendly. I can board dogs who can be left alone for a couple of hours since either I or my husband are usually home. I start with observing the pets. Each animal has their own wants/needs and their own way of communicating it. It is important that I understand their cues to give them exactly what they need and gain their trust. I believe in an open line of communication and so, do my best to update the parents on how their furry friends are doing.

“Daniella was the best person I have chosen to look after my dog when I was away for 7 days. I have a small dog ,he is scared with strangers but she knows how exactly to handle him. She built the trust and they became friends. She did a lot during the 7 days drop-in-visit, such as cleaning the dog’s pee pads, walking him, playing with him,giving treats, changing water and food. My dog loves her company and even make friends with her cute little chihuahua. Absolutely amazing!! Definitely will book again in the future .”

Highly recommend Johnny! He took excellent care of our dog Candy, feeding her and taking her out for a nice walk. He was incredibly communicative, followed all of our instructions to a T, and gave us total peace of mind. Candy was in great hands, and we will absolutely reach out to him again in the future!
Charlie was absolutely lovely. Very professional while still being friendly and not too formal. Communication was clear and prompt from the planning of the meeting to the actual visits caring for my dog. Definitely will be reaching out again when I next need a dog sitter
