About: I have had many animals! From reptiles, to chinchillas all the way to dogs & cats I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets. I am a big animal person! As a first time cat mom I fully understand how important it is to have a pet sitter who helps you feel secure in leaving your fur babies with them. Not only am I a trustworthy person, I’m very attentive to detail and reliable. I’m currently unemployed, doing odd jobs like dog sitting, house cleaning, and babysitting. Therefore, I would have PLENTY of time to play with your fur babies!! We have plenty of cat toys your cats can play with, including 2 cats! Our cats are very pet friendly and love having new friends to play with. We also have dogs who are very friendly and love to run and play! I can take your pets on walks, play with them, and more!

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats but have also had reptiles as well. Animals are something I throughly enjoy being around and caring for. You can be assured that your animals will recieve the care and affection they need and deserve if you decide to book me for your pet sitting needs! I work full time 3rd shift so am available mostly during the day. Most weeks I work 4 days Monday through Thursday. With enough notice I can be available anytime. I provide a fun and safe environment for all of the animals I care for. I’m not in this app to just come to your house and provide basic needs (unless of course that’s all they need) . You can insure that your animals will get lots of affection and care. This app is a hobby for me and I do it because I love animals and enjoy helping others.

This is our second stay with Allie and we always love having her! We had a long trip out of state this time and it was nice to be able to leave our pups and home to someone we can trust. She’s a great communicator, polite, considerate, and great with our dogs. We’ll keep having her back as long as she’ll have us!

But will always find a way 🙂 I love my pets and don’t restrict them that much, love to take them on walks and play with them we love cuddling on the couch. I would take care of any and everybody’s pet like my own.

About: I intern at an animal sanctuary where I provide full animal care to cats, dogs, foxes, birds, wolves, horses, a beaver, a bear, an elk, and much more. I have been there for over a year as well as taken care of many other animals for families over night and daily check ins. I am studying environmental science where I hope to work with animals so I have been gaining a lot of experience and knowledge with all kinds. I work another job currently as well as school so my check ins would be early morning and nights. My schedule varies from day to day so I’m willing to work it out as needed. I am available for over nights almost every night. I have watched animals with and without fences. I have gained a lot of experience in how to keep both me and the animals safe from my internship knowledge.

Ashley did a great job watching our pups. Communication was fantastic… pics and texts, as we’d discussed up front. She even checked on our chickens when the weather became unseasonably warm! Thanks Ashley!

About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.

Lucy did a great job with my dog, Benny! She sent pictures and videos while I was gone and Benny was in good spirits when I got back. She also left my house very tidy!

Katie is an incredible petsitter!!! She managed taking care of my 3 pets, including one who goes to daycare 3 times a week. My husband and I went on a week-long vacation and I didn’t have to worry about our pets or home a single time. Katie sent me daily updates, which was awesome, and took the time to meet with us beforehand. Seriously can’t recommend her enough!

About: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.

John did a great job taking care of my dogs and cat (and plants) while I was out of town. He sent pictures/videos each day and communicated promptly anytime he had to leave my house. Would definitely book again.

Margo is as good as it gets. Comes as advertised. Any potential fears of a stranger staying in your home while dog sitting your precious pooch immediately dissipates upon meeting Margo. She's responsive and has a natural knack with your pet. Highly recommend Margo.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life such as many different breeds of dogs and cats. I live an animal friendly home and absolutely love helping out animals. I have rescued and fostered cats as well! I would love to help those who need assistance and give your animals extra love! I am always taking care of my animals at home so I continue my skills and experience always. I am a college student at UC, but I am only 20 minutes from home! I love to take walks and spend time with animals as much as I can so fitting animal care in my routine is very easy. I am very responsible and loving when it comes to animal care. I have taken care of large dogs as well as small so I am very educated when it comes to animal care without different breeds. I am interested in house sitting, dog walking, and even staying over night if needed!
