Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.

Cassidy was awesome. Great communication, punctual, and super friendly. She loved on Rocco from the start of meeting him which he so enjoyed. She was respectful of our kitties and sent picture update during the session, much appreciated. We would definitely recommend her.

Vance was amazing! He was very commutative, and our pups LOVED spending time with him. Vance took care to attend to their needs and send us regular pupdates. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely be looking to have Vance watch our pups in the future and we know you will too! Thank you, Vance!

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my combination of vet tech experience and wildlife biology expertise. I can provide professional-level care, from administering medications to managing health concerns, ensuring your pet is in safe hands. My wildlife biology background also means I’m comfortable working with a wide range of animals, including exotic species and those with special care needs. Plus, I can help train puppies, using positive reinforcement to foster good behavior and obedience. With my specialized skills, I offer a higher standard of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I will make time for your furry baby as long as I have enough notice! I currently work full time in the Veterinary Medicine field as well. My three cats are indoor and have full roam of my house. I do not bring other pets to my house for the safety of my babies, but I am fully supportive of whatever way the client wants their furry baby managed in their home.

Kayla was awesome! She stayed 10 nights with our dogs and it was a relief they were able to stay in their home and have company! We came home to very happy dogs and the house as nice as we left it! She also cared for our poultry and did an excellent job! We loved the photo updates of all the animals. We will definitely use her again in the future!

About: I have grew up with dogs my entire life! I have a 1 year old Rott mix named Bailey that we rescued from the animal shelter I am currently getting my masters degree and would love to walk dogs for extra money and get my daily step goals in while walking your fur baby! I am unfortunately not offering any dogs to be in my home, due to the fact that my apartment doesn’t allow dogs without a fee. In a clients home I would treat it as my own!

About: I've lived on a farm my whole life. We've raised dogs, cats, poultry, rabbits, sheep, goats, cows, and horses. All of our animals were unique and different. I have experience with dogs from puppies to seniors. My family usually takes in rescue dogs with behavioral issues or medical needs. I am used to waking up early to feed and water animals and hanging out with them by training, walks and exercise, or cuddling throughout the day. My day ends with feeding and watering everyone again. I have experience with many different aspects of animal care and can feed, water, provide medication, work on training, go on walks, or anything else that you and your friend need.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of animals, from playful puppies and independent cats to curious rabbits. My approach is always tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring dedication and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every job. This extensive experience has taught me how to handle different temperaments and health requirements, making me a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for any furry friend. I am available on weekends, as well as all day Monday, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Willing to stay with you pets for the whole weekend or pop in on those days i’m free! There is a fenced yard at my parents' home with five dogs, and I often play ball with them outside. I also have a fenced yard at my place for my 2-year-old Mini Aussie, where we enjoy playing outdoors as well. He has two full toy baskets and bark boxes every month! He is very loved (spoiled) :)!

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I believe they are often misunderstood and approach their care from an empathetic strategy. I have no restrictions on age , breed or size. I also have experience with epilepsy and basic medical care. I work full-time and will be available after 4 pm most weekdays. I am able to work from home for part of the week so I am able to check in during the day and stay with your pet if arrangements are needed. I will give your pet the same care that I provide my own. I will provide check ins at the agreed upon interval. Respect any custom requests for visiting care that I can.
