About: I've had animals all my life. At the moment I have 3 cats. But I'm my past I've had dogs that lived to 12, 17, and 14. I look forward to meeting your pets. I work from home a lot and am often available to let your pets out, feed them, walk them. Please be clear and upfront about your animal if it shows any aggression or anxiety with strangers. I would like to meet you and your animal before the first visit. I'm a trustworthy person. I would feel most comfortable meeting you and your pet before my first visit without you home. I would like to think this would make you more comfortable as well.
“Michael came 3 times a day for over a week for an hour at a time. He took time to spend with each of our 3 older dogs individually and sent multiple photos each time we was at our home. He gave in real time updates on food, bathroom breaks and ensured he gave each dog their medication. He brought our trash cans up our driveway, and brought it our mail before we even reached out to ask, and even took a photo of bees getting into our home while we were away in which we were able to prepare for before we returned from our vacation. He was wonderful for us and from the looks of our blink camera taking some videos in real time, the dogs loved him as well!! We will be requesting Michael each time we take a trip as we feel incredibly comfortable with his care.”

I have a dog at home that’s very friendly and a big yard for them to play in. I live in a big neighborhood and often go on walks.
About: I started out caring for neighbor's pets as a young teen. I went on to work for a petsitting service in my late teens and 20s where I had the pleasure of looking after cats and dogs of all shaped and sizes. I am self-employed with a flexible schedule. I'm happy to come by for drop in visists, dog walks, or feedings. I'm available many weekends as well! My services will be primarily dog walking and drop in visits so I will be happy to let your dog roam the designated outdoor areas at your home or take them on your preferred dog walking routes.

Toriann H.
“Toriann has watched my two bunnies on countless occasions. I never have to worry about going out of town and leaving them. She sends me updates (with pictures) about how they’re doing, will interact with them, and make sure they have everything they need. She is not like other sitters that come and go super quickly - she will play with them to make sure that they are still being socialized when I am gone! 10000/10 experience!”
