“Charlotte watched our cat, Ms kitty, while we were on vacation. Charlotte was extremely nice and took great care of her while we were away. She sent us pictures and videos and let us know that everything was going well at home. We appreciate everything she did and we will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Shade did an overall good job with our doggie. She did almost everything she said she would do. I would prefer someone who showed up at the time we scheduled. Good service overall though.”
About: With me, your pet is guaranteed to receive personalized, loving care. Growing up in a large, close-knit family, I've been surrounded by dogs from an early age, and they've always been an integral part of my life. My experience in raising dogs all my life has made me highly attuned to their needs. I currently have a loving American Bulldog named Apollo, who you'll see under the orange cover in my profile gallery, along with other dogs I've cared for in the past. I've been dog sitting for years, and it’s more than just a job—it's a passion. I understand how important dogs are to a family, having experienced firsthand the comfort and joy they bring to our lives. When caring for your pet, I prioritize keeping you informed with regular pictures and updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I tailor my care to your pet’s specific needs and your preferences, so just let me know your pups fav trails and playtime activities and I’m happy to accommodate. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to offer dog walks, play dates, and dog sitting at your home, including overnight stays if needed. I always take the time to understand your pet’s routine and habits, ensuring they receive the best care possible while you're away. I work Mon-Fri. But have the flexibility to leave multiple times throughout the day. I am able to do overnight stays Sunday - Saturday as long as you are comfortable with a sitter that has a 9-5. Open to taking the kids to the park, on a nice walk or even a small trial hike! Whatever meets your needs as a parent. Unfortunately I am not open to overnight sitting services within my own home. I can however bring your pet for a play date with my own dog or bring them to my house for a temporary moment of time.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. It take a love of care and love to take care of them. I have one dog of my own that I have had since she is a puppy. I had no problem potty training her and teaching her basic commands. I work part time but I am a full time student. I manage both really well and have quite a bit of free time that I would love to spend take care of fur babies! I do have a fenced in yard that is perfect for fur babies to run around freely and play around. If your dog prefers to be outside they are able to do that and be safe.
About: Hey there, I offer dog walking, sitting, and drop in visits for dogs and cats! For a job, I work in a doggy daycare and care for anywhere from 10-20 dogs. From German Shepards who need exercise, to Yorkies who need extra care, or even just a mix, if you've got a dog that needs an affordable care taker, I'll be able to help. Also, I do photography and love taking pictures of the dogs I sit and walk so just let me know if you want some pictures of how the day is going! I enjoy hiking, walking, and playing frisbee in my backyard. I am located in the Cape/Jackson area and would love to take your pup on a hike through the many trails in this area. I am available on weekdays and nights and also on the weekends if you give me at least 2 days heads up. I can do as many drop in visits as you would like and that includes walking them. I am only available to stay overnight on Friday and Saturday.
