I always feel that my dog is well taken care of when we have Mary in the house. I get the best pictures! Having Mary has opened my husband and I up for more travel. We are so happy we found her!

Dawn is punctual and our doggo Tommy took a liking to her. She is trustworthy and kept us updated on how our pup is doing. He warmed up to her even let her pet his belly. I will definitely be wanted her to take care of our pup when we need another sitter. Thank you so much Dawn for treating our doggo like one of your own and Tommy and Us look foward to you pet sitting again.

About: We have taken care of and loved dogs since we were children. We have rescued many dogs. One of my dogs had seizures which we cared for and loved for many years. If I had the ability I would rescue more. So the next best thing is to give your fur baby all the love I can during their stay. I work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your dogs. With the help of my son there will aways be someone to care for your fur baby. I have a 3 sided fenced yard and a tie out that runs the length of it. So there is plenty of room for exercise. I also have 2 very friendly pups to keep yours company. I am also able to crate your dog if so desired. I am currently working part time but between my work schedule and my son’s work schedule we will be available for your precious pups needs I have a partially fenced yard with a heavy strength run for dogs with more power and size We will walk smaller dogs in the yard on leash. At your home I follow your lead with what they ate already familiar with

Because of a family emergency that took us out state, Jeremiah stepped up and took care of our fur babies with very little notice. He stayed at our house overnight with our pets. He sent daily photos of both our pets and answered any questions we had. When we got home, our babies were happy and the house was clean. We would absolutely hire Jeremiah again!

About: I enjoy taking care of a variety of pets, and have helped care for many over the years. I have experience from everything as small as hamsters up to horses. I currently have dogs, cats, ferrets, and a horse. Many friends and family have relied on me for advice or to care for their pets. I’m available most days any time after 8am for pet sitting or dog walks! I can also do multiple drop in visits throughout the day! Normally at home I feed the dogs dinner, my mother does breakfast! I also take them out for walks around the yard. In your home I would do whatever is asked, and clean up any messes made.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

About: I have always loved pet sitting, especially throughout college. I can do the basics such as walking, taking out for potty breaks, and feeding. I think the best care I can give is when I can go above and beyond the basics. Being able to love and care for your pet while you are away is something I aim for! I’m an elementary school teacher on summer break so I have open availability to watch your furry friend. We’ll soak up the summer sun together! I do have a nice small yard (fenced) and a fur baby to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your pet if needed during the day or at night.

About: I have always loved all kinds of animals! I have been a dog groomer for 8 years and would love to watch your dogs in my home or yours! If you need your dog(s) groomed send me a message and I'll see what I can do! I have a pretty flexible schedule and my boy friend always comes home on his lunch break. I don't do much besides work and spend time with my own dogs so what's a few more friends! I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood where I can easily take the dogs for walks. I also live really close to the dog park as well.

Kimberly was so attentive to all of our dogs needs! She made sure they were safe, happy, & healthy. We have more high maintenance dogs and she was the perfect sitter for them. In addition to making sure our dogs were perfectly taken care of, she went above and beyond with house sitting too! My house is going to be sad I’m back because Kimberly took such great care of the house and garden! 🥰

About: I have experience caring for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I understand every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m currently working around 30 hours a week. I work right down town in Saint Joesph Michigan. My schedule is very flexible. I work between five and six hour shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I care for pets in their own home based on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of of dogs and cats since I could remember. Neighbors, parents friends, or even my friends would ask me to help watch or spend time with their loved animals, I always found meeting new dogs and cats exciting and getting to know their personalities and grow with them quite rewarding, I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat which I am very committed to taking care of and ensuring they live long, happy, and healthy lives. I will always treat any animal as it’s my own, with love, care, and affection. I currently am working 7-3 Wednesday-Sunday and have time after that to take care of any loving pets, as well as my own as I spend time with them and fit their needs, I am dedicated to being able to come right after work, or any event in order to ensure your pet is well taken care of I treat any pet as their are my own. I have trained my dogs to be able to go outside in a unfenced backyard and remain on our property, by rewarding self control, and urges to run off they are skilled well in being able to be outside on their own and when to alert me to be let outside to use the bathroom. Inside the home there are many toys and beds for them to live a comfy and playful life inside with a safe environment for my pets.

Took care of our two dogs (young hound and elderly rat terrier) for several days while my family and I were out of town. Kept constant updates which is important as our elderly dog does need sone extra care and attention. On top of caring for our dogs Gina took care of our weekly trash/recycling and daily mail. Sydney (her dog) also got along well with our younger dog and kept each other company by playing all day. I would definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.
