10. Shemoy S.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My siblings and I used to feed and care for stray cats in our neighborhood. And after getting my own pet Spike at 10 I started dog/cat sitting for my family members. As an adult I’ve long since moved away from my childhood home and unfortunately had to leave spike behind as my parents have grown very fond of him. However I’ve adopted and cared for senior cats as a way to make them comfortable as they near the end of their journey. I now have 2 cats of my own that I took in as strays and I would do anything for those girls. I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available weekdays and weekends as well as overnight. I typically respond within an our more often less depending on if I’m with pets or not as I like to give my undivided attention when I’m with furbabies I don’t know very well as some can be a bit cheeky. I will always ask for feeding schedules, likes and dislikes or overall personality traits. I never scratch or touch at first without the pet’s showing that they are ok with being touched. I like to give my pets all my attention and try to provide them with plenty of play and enrichment.


11. Jade V.

“Great communication and very helpful with taking care of my dog when he was sick.”


12. Madison H.
About: Pets are the best, and are often more fun to get along with than humans. I will take care of your pet the same way I would take care of my child. This is a husband and wife duo, so if I am struggling to make myself available then he is willing to jump in. I hate to say it, but he might actually love animals more than me. I work in a public school, which allows me to be available before and after school hours. After a long day inside, I enjoy walking dogs outside. My husband works from home most days, so he has a lot of flexibility to help out. I am capable of following safety instructions as they are provided by the owner. I will be mindful of pet etiquette when around others, and make sure to clean up after them.


13. Alexandrae L.
About: I have extensive experience with separation anxiety and elderly dogs who have medical needs. I take care of pets the way I would want my pets cared for. I own a cleaning company and have a very flexible schedule. I have a large yard and lots of space for the fur babies to romp and play! I treat them as if they’re members of my family🥰 lots of love, play, attention, and treats! Rest easy knowing your pets are safe and happy in my home!


14. Briannon L.
About: I have had just about every type of pet you can think of and am comfortable caring for all. Your pets will always be taken care of and loved like one of my own. I have a very flexible schedule that will suit your needs. I have experience administering oral medications with my own pets and can learn to do others if needed to. If you have anymore specific questions I can address, please reach out to me! Hope you're having a great day. :) :) I have very flexible availability to help you with your pet care needs. Please message me if my calendar does not fit your dates and we can try to make it happen! I will treat your pets and home like it was mine, with love and respect. I will tidy up any pet related needs during my visits.

About: I have 2 Labrador Retrievers of my own. I worked at a kennel, which includes boarding and rescue dogs for 6 years. I also worked at an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant / Veterinary Technician Student for about 5 years. I am also in school to become a veterinary technician. Caring for animals makes me so happy, they mean the world to me! I am willing to take care of your pets while you are away. They will be well taken care of, and pictures can also be provided! I can do weekends for sure. During the week, I would need to touch base with you but should be no problem at all! 😊 I have a fenced in yard. Our dogs would need to meet prior to stay! My 2 labs are friendly as long as the other pet staying at my house is friendly too!
