“Awesome even went on an extended walk, and when I got stuck for longer than expected she had no problem staying longer. Thanks so much.”


2. Abbrielle S.
About: I have had dogs & cats my entire life—all shapes, sizes & colors. I am passionate about providing loving and attentive support to pets of all kinds. I have experience administering medications, watching puppies, caring for seniors, you name it! Most notably, I pay close attention to those special pets who may need specific care. I am dedicated to making each pet's experience enjoyable and stress-free. I believe every pet deserves the best, and I will always strive to provide that with the utmost compassion and professionalism. My schedule is pretty flexible since I’m a student. I only have class on Monday-Wednesday leaving my schedule open almost entirely. I also have time those days too. I understand that some pets need fed on a certain schedule or let out more often than others. My open availability allows me to provide that. I understand the trust needed to allow a "complete stranger" into your home. I promise to make sure as though you and your pet don't feel as if I am a stranger. That being said, I prefer always meeting you and your pet before providing care. I will also treat your pet, and your home, as my own. Giving them and it the utmost care and respect.

5. kimberly s.

“Kimberly did an outstanding job taking care of my dog Koko while I was away. Koko loved her company and I came home to find him happy and relaxed. She followed his routine walks and feedings, just as I had asked her. She communicated with me often and sent me pictures. I couldn't have found a better pet sitter.”


6. Erin S.

“Erin was fantastic with our 80 lb. ruffian rescue for a week. She took great care of him, played a lot and took him to a dog park for some running time. We would definitely have her take care of him again.”


7. Glenn C.

10. Megan G.
