About: I've been around dogs since I can remember, so I know how they operate. I'm very comfortable around them regardless of size so you can trust me to be in good hands! I have school during during the day, so I'll be able to work later in the day. Anything you need me to do, I'll do it for you! When I walk my dog, it is important that there's a lot a space for them. I also keep in mind where the environmental limits are. I keep a schedule on when the dog eats and need a walk.

About: I’ve always taken care of my family member’s dogs. For the longest time I begged my parents to get a dog and they finally did 2 years ago. We now have a chihuahua terrier mix we rescued from the shelter. In addition to that we have 5 chickens, 2 bunnies, and a dove that we saved as well. We are a pretty big animal loving family! I currently work at an elementary school during school hours which is around 8am-1:30 the latest 2:30. So anytime after that I am completely open. Since it is currently summer school I am available after 12:30pm. I live in an apartment so I am not able to take pets home but I would love to sit for them at the pet caregivers home! I am pretty much available mid afternoon-evening weekdays and available all day on weekends!

Annabella makes every trip we go on so much easier knowing our kitties are under her watchful eye! Even our most nervous little orange feels comfortable with her.

About: I'm a patient person with an affinity for animals. I've been taking care of dogs since I can remember. Also, I have tons of experience in babysitting, house sitting and even some elder care. Point of story: I will treat your fur baby like it's my own! I work from home as a freelance writer! I have a big apartment that currently has one small dog in it. I thought it would be cool to have more dogs in it! Or to just meet other dogs at their house! I love dogs and that's pretty much it I live in a nice, sub-urby area, and I take my dog Laz on walks through the neighborhood and to the park. I would be happy for your dog to join on those walks! Or if your dog prefers the comfort of their own home, I'm happy to accommodate that as well 😊

About: I have had animals all my life even animals besides dogs and cats. I love animals and I love taking care of them. I am really good with animals and getting them to feel comfortable. I know how to feed them, walk them, etc. I currently just have classes but i’m available Monday-Thursday from 3pm+ and on weekends (including Fridays) i’m available at any time that I am needed! At your home, I will make sure to pay attention to the rules you have for me and your fur baby. I can walk them a certain way, crate them when needed, feed them when needed. Anything you want, I can provide! I just want to be able to give you a sense of security knowing your dog/cat is safe!

About: I'm a part time student with a deep love for animals. Especially doggo's. I have a small Yorkshire terrier that never seems to run out of energy when on walks. I take her on at least hour walks so if you'd like to have your pet walked longer than 30 mins i'm more than happy to. I also sometimes jog with my terrier so if your dog's looking to shave off a couple hairs for the beach i'll happily throw on my running shoes. Same thing goes for sitting. Even if you just want me to stay with your dog for a little bit longer for whatever reason, doesn't matter to me, as long as the dogs happy I will be more than happy to. I have multiple animals at home and worked as a sitter for the last 4 years. Taking care of pets is practically all I know. I take lots of notes while the client goes through the meet and greet, when I finally go to the home to preform the service, I make sure to double check the notes beforehand and make sure I follow everything on the list carefully. If anything happens during the visit I'll do everything I can to reach the clients.

I cannot say enough about Brittany! My pups are older 17 and 14 and they are my absolute loves. They trusted her right away and were completely comfortable in her care. I got plenty of updates and pictures. Brittany followed their schedules and it’s like they didn’t skip a beat even if I was gone for a couple of days. I can’t thank her enough for treating my pups like they were her own.

About: I have always grown up with 1-2 dogs and a cat in my household, so I have experience with walking them, feeding them, and otherwise taking care of them. Now that I am living on my own I just have my cat and I miss having dogs around! I’m currently a student at CSUN, but all of my classes are asynchronous and online, so my schedule is very flexible! I do go out of town occasionally, but can plan around certain things :) Right now I just have my cat in my apartment so I always make sure her litter box is clean and that she has enough enrichment time throughout her day to keep her happy and healthy. When I was home before with my 2 dogs I would take them on walks, play with them, and clean up after them.

About: I have had many pets since I was a kid such as cats, dogs, parrots, bunnies and even iguanas as well as taken care of pets from family members and friends. Moreover, I have taken care of my cat since he was a kitten 4 years ago and fallen further in love with cats ever since. Fun fact I trained him to use the toilet! I am very exited to become your cat(s) and dog(s) new friend, take care of them, play and most importantly show them affection and everything I’ve learned about animals. I am also open to other animals and learn in the process as new knowledge is greatly appreciated! I am working part time and available mornings until 1 p.m then 6:30 p.m to 10 p.m on Tu/Wed/Fr; and Mo/Th mornings until 1 p.m only. Saturday and Sunday varies but I’m willing to accommodate. I can care for your pet by following specific instructions and keep them within reach and sight, making sure they are supervised all the time and keeping an eye for anything they can chew/eat or swallow that can pose a potential threat; as well as following feeding schedules and potty breaks.
