About: I had my first dog when I was 8 and ever since then I have always loved dogs and have never been without a dog until this year. All dogs make me extremely happy and I love to play with them. I’m very energetic and love to go for runs or do different activities with dogs. I also don’t have a problem with any other animals but I am just used to dealing with dogs. I have had a miniature schnauzer, pit bull, and a lab. My hours are pretty flexible but I do prefer the morning because I am a early bird. The only times I won’t be available are after 8 Expect for Wednesdays unless I’m house sitting depending on how long that will be. If you would like any more information please message me

I was confident that our boy was in good hands with Steph! Loved seeing all the photos from each day, especially the ones of him getting some nice play time in. He was his happy normal self when we returned, and anything that was out of the ordinary was communicated to me prior to us returning. Thanks Steph!

Lenny is absolutely amazing! We just moved from overseas and I was worried my dogchild (he’s a senior) was going to have a problem bonding with a new sitter because he adored his last sitter. It’s safe to say he adores Lenny already and that’s such a relief. Lenny is such a great communicator and I love all the pictures taken daily. I couldn’t have picked a better person.

About: I am in experienced Trainer and groomer. All of our pets are rescue pets, except for my sons service dog, I often welcome Guest pets into my home to help local service members who are deploying. I look forward to welcoming your Pet into our home. We’re working family. A military family at that. My Husband is deployed. However, our house has a doggie door and I work close to home so that I can come home frequently to check on our guests and ensure that they are thriving We treat the pets in our home, like their Our pets. If one hand goes out to our dog, the other hand goes out to the guest dog to Pet them. When we go outside to play, everybody goes outside to play. We enjoy taking our guest pets outside for a romp in the yard. Sometimes we walk dogs together as a family. Sometimes I take them on my own. It’s a family affair.

About: Animals should be cared with respect and patience. Due to my background in helping out with animals and having a cat of my own, I know it is important to trust someone with your animal. My goal is always to create a calm, safe space where pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and very much at home. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I study online in the afternoons, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to accommodate walks, feedings, and check-ins as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very mindful of maintaining their routine and respecting the space. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable in an environment they already know. Additionally, for dog walking I plan on having clear communication with dog owner regrading the walking process. I would love to send owner in photos or videos of their pet while I care for them!

Carly has been so wonderful and reliable for our dog, Phoebe! She has provided weekly drop ins for a couple of months and one long overnight stay so far, which she extended a night on short notice for us. She provides us with consistent updates and communication and Phoebe is always a happy girl after each of her visits. We highly recommend Carly, she’s been one of our best Petsitters to date.

Miranda was able to accommodate me last minute before a short out of town trip for a few days and was available for a virtual meeting and she followed instructions I sent her through a Google Docs very well. She was so attentive, loving and patient with both my fur babies Suki and Lilith and I could tell from the Rover card pictures that my kitties felt so comfortable with her! She went above and beyond to give them treats and playtime and she was overall amazing. She was very communicative and flexible. I would book with her again and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to drop in on their cats while they’re away! Thank you tons, Miranda 🥰🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Claudia did a fantastic job for taking care of my cat Bobbie during my five weeks away from home. She showed up on time and fed and cared for the cat as scheduled. She took the cuttest pictures and filed a report every day. I have never been away from my cat for so long and was apprehensive about the change of routines but Bobbie was well-fed and cared for as if nothing has happened when I returned. Claudia is a sweetest person and very responsive and accommodating. I am sure her training as vet assistant is instrumental in helping Bobbie making the adjustment. I cannot thank her enough and will definitely ask for her next time I am away.

Katie is amazing! Super friendly and great with animals. She took care of my cat and bunny we couldn't be happier. My furry little dears loved when she came round and especially enjoyed the extra pets and play time she would have with them! When I need someone to watch my pets again I will definitely go with Katie.
