About: I have taken care of old dogs, young dogs, and family dogs, multiple animals at one time. I have cared for cats and fish. I would like the opportunity to watch a chicken… I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to best care for your animals. I have a regularly consistent schedule- but this gig is something fun I enjoy on the side. I have a night front and back yard. I have a cat ready to keep your animal on their toes! My house is certainly animal friendly- we can speak more about the specifications your pet needs!

Kiley is the sweetest person I have ever met! She took care of our babies so well and they adore her. She also ensured that we were always in contact and stayed aware with what our animals were doing and she always sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates! I will absolutely use her over and over again and honestly you should too!

About: I’ve never lived a day without an animal. My family owns 2 Great Danes and a Pit Bull Terrier. 2 of which were trained by me! I love meeting new people and new animals and want to take care of your pets like they’re my own! I currently work Sundays - Tuesday from 3-11pm and accept clients who’s pets are comfortable with being left alone during an 8 hour work shift. I want your pets to be excited when I come to check on them! I always try to devote some time to play during potty breaks and become best friends with your pups. I also have experience bathing and medicating dogs old or young. Ready to make a dogsitting schedule that’ll make you happy :)

About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and newborn. While my little need a lot of one on one time, they sleep a lot allowing for plenty of time to spend with my fur baby as well as yours! My apartment complex offers a fenced in area for animal play which my pup loves taking advantage of. About once a day we go to said area to play and get all of our energy out, when we’re more on a time crunch we’ll take a lap around the building. We tend to go on walks every 3-4 hours or as Trixie let me know she’s needing to potty!

Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.

I moved here not knowing anyone and needed someone to come let my babies out 2 times a week. She came and met me and the pups; and we instantly loved her! She truly loves and cares so much for them just like her own! She is dependable and so sweet; and we will continue to rebook every week with her! Me and the pups are so thankful for her!
