“Bridget is great with our dogs, she takes such good care of them! She was able to help us out on very short notice, and did a wonderful job taking care of all 4 of our dogs, and followed our instructions to the tee. Very quick to respond, and good with communicating during the check ins as well, we got lots of photos so we could see the dogs were doing well. A+ sitter, will be booking again!”
About: I've had and trained dogs my entire life. I am 54 and no longer working and would be available to be here with your baby 24/7. I have a fully fenced in back yard for lots of playtime fun. I'm currently 54 and have retired early, so I'm available to care, love, play, walk, and look after your furry friend 24 hours a day. I have a fully fenced in yard that they have full access to run and play in. Your pet will be treated like family. I allow pets on my furniture so that we can relax and snuggle together.
About: Hi! I’m Lexie (Alexandria for long), and I’ve been assisting in animal rescue since I was born! I’m a recent college grad, and I can’t think of a better way to earn a couple extra bucks than to get to play with animals. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, reptiles and more, I'll love them all! My phone is glued to me, so I’m always easily contactable. Can’t wait to meet you! I'm gone for work 7:30AM-5:00PM Monday-Friday, and I'm off Saturday and Sunday. For weekday house sitting, as long as your pet is okay being left alone during those hours, I'm still happy to do it! While I don’t have any professional vet training, I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications when necessary. I always walk on-leash for your pet's safety.
“Rob has been consistent, communicative and fantastic with our pup, Poe. We have enjoyed working with him and look forward to more visits. We are also planning to utilize him for boarding during an upcoming beach trip.”
About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I can walk, play, feed, clean-up after, and administer medications to your animals. I have most experience with cats and dogs. I'm a full-time teacher, but I am mostly free in the summers. I do not do overnights because my own senior cat needs me. I am happy to do weekends during the school year :) I will take care of your animals as instructed by you. I will update you on the visits/walks and send pictures as proof of the visit.
About: My love for animals started as a child!!! I've taken care of friends cats, dogs, fish, bearded dragon, and turtles. I worked at a animal hospital for 3 years as a kennel assistant. Working as a kennel assistant gave me experience working with all different types of cats and dogs. I have had animals my whole life thus far. I have a senior dog at home. Im currently not working for the summer so I'll have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur babies with all the love. I will drop in to your home for your convenience!!! I'll play with your pet and give lots loving as if they were my own
“I needed someone to give my Boston Terrier an injection while we were away on vacation and feel so lucky to have found Victoria! Communication was great AND she even facetimed me during the visit so we could go over any last minute questions, dosage, etc. My dog sitter said "Victoria was very polite and professional, you should hire her again!" and we absolutely will. Very relieved to know my dog got her medication and that a trained vet assistant was able to handle the injection with ease. Cassie never knew anything even happened, hah.”
“We have enjoyed working with Samauria so far! She came by for a meet and greet first, which we feel is very important. Our pup Poe was loving on her from the start, appreciating the scratches and belly rubs given. They had their first visit today and all went well. Samauria was communicative and save for a tiny house alarm kink, she followed all our instructions. She even alerted me to Poe’s excitement outside that irritated her paws because of the ice. I greatly appreciate her efforts with that. We look forward to future visits and a weekend stay coming up.”

I am great at following directions and instructions for taking care of your pets. I will play with them either indoors or outdoors as appropriate
