“Mallory is wonderful with the cats. Showers them with pets and love. They miss her. She also is very meticulous abt updates and pix to me and very OCD abt the cleanliness of the home.”

About: I've taken care of pets for over 50 years and have had the pleasure of raising 5 Golden Retrievers. My oldest girl, Savannah lived an amazing life for 16 years. I've also raised 2 pekingese. I'm the one my friends call when they need a sitter. That will be decided during our original meeting depending on what you feel is best for your animals. I'm open to what you feel is best. I will take care of and love on your fur babies while you are gone. I will also be more than glad to send you photos.
About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own.

“Bruny is AMAZING. I am so attached to my cat also knowing that he has cancer and Bruny gave me peace knowing Rory is ok when I went travelling for Spring Break. I didn't have to worry whether if he was OK because Bruny would always send me updates and pictures of how Rory was doing. When we had our meet-up, she showed her knowledge in taking care of Rory and making sure that everything is set and ready to go. SHE IS AMAZINGGGGG! I highly recommend you booking her. Her personality is the best and she genuinely cares about taking care of your pet. My boyfriend and I just also recently rescued a cat (staying at my BF place) and she donated bowls and food for her and it was the most sweetest thing ever. Seriously, you can't go wrong with booking Bruny! I would definitely book her again.”
“Chandrika did an amazing job with our 2 cats! She was super responsive and attentive and followed our directions perfectly! They were super comfortable with her as well, and super relaxed when we got home!”


About: I have had everything from a 12 pound Pug to a 150 pound Bull Mastiff. I have had a mutt, Ewok, a boxer, Rosie, a pug, Truffles, and a Bull Mastiff, Wilbur. Wilbur was abandoned by my sister at my mothers house while i was off at college, so I trained him when I was home for a break, so that my mother could find him a good home. Truffles was my special old lady. I have helped my neighbor take care of his 100 pound Pit bull. I have experience in training and can handle any dog. I have the attitude that there is no such thing as a bad dog, there are just some misunderstood dogs. Each dog is unique. I currently have a cat, a rabbit, two bearded dragons, a crested gecko and fish, so I definitely have a lot of patience . I just recently had a change in career, so I definitely have an open schedule. I would love to meet your fur or scale covered friend and keep them happy. I never let a dog out off leash unless I know without a doubt that the fence is secure and that they can't jump over the fence. I will also make sure that your baby isn't playing with anything that could be a potential choking hazard.
About: I treat dogs with kindness and only want the best for them. In my world, a dog is the most important thing and I have a huge spot in my heart for them. I will try my very best to make sure any dog is the happiest dog on the planet. I currently work part time only in the mornings and have my classes online. Having an opportunity to hang with your dog would help me more than you know. I love a dog’s presence even to just do homework or read with and I know they’d appreciate the company just as much as I would. I can do whatever is comfortable for you. I love to be that pal for a dog if his parents are busy at work, so my mode of care would mainly be quality time to make them feel loved.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbor’s and friend’s pets for 5+ years! Including house sitting, dog walking, and daily visits to houses. I love big, medium, and small furry friends! I am currently available to work any hours needed. Whether you need someone to stay with your dog overnight, or just do frequent visits my hours are flexible! I am unavailable to keep any pets at my house as we already have 4 cats with us, but will be available for any other service!
