About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13. I’ve always had a cat growing up and when I was old enough to get my own pet I had a dog. I work part time at a dog boarding facility and when I’m not there I’m home. So I have plenty of free time to do walks, dog parks, naps on the couch, play time, and anything else needed for your fur baby. I care for pets like they are my own with unlimited pets & love. I also treat other homes like it’s my own clean, tighty, and in place.

10. Kirsten B.
About: I have a year experience working for a pet sitting company doing house visits and dog walking. During this time I gained a lot of great knowledge on how to properly care for cats and dogs. I have two pets of my own as well. During a house visit I would be sure to feed, water and take them out to potty. I would also make sure to give them plenty of attention if they like that. If you have a cat I can scoop or change litter if needed as well as keep the area clean where the litter box is stored. I am also available for 30 minute walks with your pet to make sure they get the exercise they need. I look forward to hearing from you! I am available 7 am to 1 pm & 4:30 pm to 9 pm Monday through Friday to walk or care for your pet as needed for walks or if they just need checked on. I am only available to care for your pet in your home, I will take great care of them and treat your home with respect.

18. Samantha C.
About: I was born and raised an animal lover! I’ve had animals my whole life and that developed into working with them on a professional level for a time. Whether it’s playing fetch with your energetic puppy, tiring your kitty out with all the toys, or giving your elderly furr babies the extra care they need I will do it with the upmost love and care! I am a part time server at a local restaurant. With only working a few hours a day that leaves me a lot of time to work with your furr babies! For clients home I will treat it with all the respect and only go and treat for the animals in the areas you feel comfortable with! I am a very vigilant person and will always make sure your animals are safe with me!
19. Michaela J.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies since I was a little girl. Now, I have two fur babies of my own that I absolutely love! If your doggo loves to go on walks, I’m your girl! I’ll be off work for September and half of October, so I’m able to walk your fur babies any time through the week and on most weekends. My boys love to go on several walks throughout the day. They have free reign of the house but I have a crate available if needed.
