About: I have had dogs almost my entire life, and I know I can take care of them, play with them, and bond with them. I usually have no problem with dogs, no matter how aggressive or aloof they are. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pet at home alone, and I hope I can help you feel assured they will be taken care of. I work remotely and on my own schedule, so I can take care of your pet just as easily as I take care of my own! Whenever or wherever you need me, I'm there! I will take good care of your pet by listening to your instructions and paying attention to the particular need of the dog or cat. Each animal is different, and has unique needs.

About: I’ve been the owner of a pit bull/lab mix for 6 years. My doggie was definitely a trouble maker growing up, so I’m able to handle a lot of stress. I’ve house sat and watched my friends doggies countless times, and they always ask me whenever they need a pet sitter! I love love love doggies so much, so it’ll be amazing if I can get paid while spending time with them! I work 6am-3pm and after that I’m available to walk, baby sit, play with your doggies! I especially love long walks, and playtime with dogs! I always make sure that there’s a trust between me and the doggie first. I don’t want to make the dog overwhelmed so I let them sniff me first, and see how they react around me. If they are a little nervous and scared, I’ll try to ease them in with some treats or some pets. I always want to make sure they feel safe and secure.

About: I believe in maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible, minimizing stress and making their time without you feel seamless. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a dedicated, compassionate companion who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were my own. As a teacher, my summers are completely free, making it the perfect time to dedicate myself to pet care. I live only a half block from a large park and am very close to the lake, which is ideal for long walks. I genuinely love walking, so integrating multiple walks throughout the day for your dog is a pleasure, not a chore. This prime location also offers easy access to plenty of green space for playtime and exercise. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box/cage cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of cuddles. I'll also bring in your mail and water plants, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.
