Sasha is a very reliable pet sitter and we were in constant contact about my 3 guinea pigs throughout my two-week trip away. :) As a person who is anxious about leaving her guinea pigs alone, she was very sensitive to that and made sure that my worries were eased by providing updates and completing my day by day requests. She follows care instructions carefully and exactly. Daily guinea pig care can be a little messy, and I'm glad she was up for it! She took my last minute booking request, and we met prior to my departure to get through care instructions! Thank you so much, Sasha!

Sasha was great! We booked last minute and Sasha was quick to respond that she’d be able to let our dogs out. She came to meet our dogs before we left and learn where everything for them was. While we were gone Sasha updated us with pictures each time she came to visit and was very punctual with arrival times! Will be booking again! 🤍

Chrissy was AMAZING with my Lab and Rottweiler. I recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies watched. She was very communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would🤩

About: I love the energy of animals - particularly the playfulness, affection, and intelligence of dogs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens and have cared for bunnies, sheep, and fish. Chickens, like dogs, stand out because of their unique personalities and the funny hierarchy in a hen house. I’d be happy to offer care to a wide variety of animals as I’m comfortable around all I’ve encountered, but dogs hold a special home in my heart. I’m self-employed and have been running my own online business for nearly 12 years now and I’m very flexible and open to your schedule. I am well-versed in the importance of timely, thorough, and thoughtful responses and attention to detail. I’ll be sure to respond to requests and messages as quickly as possible, and to stay in communication with my customers for the duration of my stay with your pup! When I’m not enjoying the company of animals, you can usually find me writing or cooking. I also love nature walks and any change to watch the sunset. Because I do travel, I can’t have a dog of my own right now, but I’d love to “get my fix” by caring for your furry friend! I can’t wait to meet you! I love starting and ending the day with a walk, and a dog is the perfect companion! My schedule is flexible so I'm more than happy to take their lead and listen to their needs. At this time, I can't host dogs in my home, but I would be delighted to house sit and care for your home and animals while you are away!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my whole life. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for family and friends. I have stayed at homes with the animals, taken them on walks, and just the normal caring duties for animals. I currently work full-time at a middle school. If close enough to my job, I can take the animal on a potty break if needed. Otherwise I am at work for almost 8 hours on the weekdays. My weekends are free! I will not accept dogs into my own home, but when at the clients home I accommodate to the pets needs whether that involves walking them, tying them up, or keeping them in a fenced in yard

About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."

About: I've had animals since forever and I have worked with grooming and bathing as well as boarding dogs in the past. I love every kind and will care for them with extra love. During the summer, right now, I am available during both the week days and the weekends. I work another job from 8-1 pm so the afternoons work best for me. I will follow your rules or instructions on how you would like your animal(s) to be treated and when or how often you would like them let out if necessary and will treat them all with love.

Sam is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training. She was so good with my German shepherd and very reliable and trustworthy. So thankful to have had her, and sad we moved so we can’t use her anymore.

About: I had dog when I was only 5 years old and always been taking care of dogs since I was growing up and now have my own baby, Porky and everyone always relies on me to watch their dogs and caring fir them while they are gone. I really love animals and dogs big time. I always let them outside whenever they feel like it and play roam around in backyard with fence :) I would go on dog walking and they give me excuses to work out too lol. They are my world. I would treat ur dogs as if they were my own. I am working a full time student at college but very flexible with hours. I can do after work for dog walking and even babysitting them too. My husband, he will definitely help me out if I need to when I m at school etc. Can always talk about needs and when etc. I do have a big backyard with fenced around. I have two dogs they will love to play with others. I would like to introduce them to your first before start let them play. I can always separate them if need to so they can take turns. I can give them bath, feed, take them out for walk, and even stay overnight if need. I would let you bring ur own dog foods for ur pets so that way it Is separate. I will always give them treats if being good. All you have to do is let me know what not to do or to do for them so I can be prepared.

Lucia was willing to come do a meet and greet prior to dropping in to visit with my dogs. She is very friendly and provides great service. She played with my puppy and sent some pics. House was found just as we left it. Would definitely recommend Lucia and will happily book her again in the future.
