About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!

About: I would do anything for an animal. Im fact, I have broken bones on two different times so they wouldn’t get hurt. I love them. I am looking for a job now and the market is horrible. I thought, what could be better than filling my days with animals to love on. I take care of my cat better than myself. I make sure he’s eating well, I grt the good bowls, toys galore and his own heating pad which he adores.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

I will be using Maddie again.”
“Victoria is awesome. Our dog and cat love hanging out with her. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit for our fur babies again!”
