“Kathryn took excellent care of my Buddy. She was very responsive and sent many photos throughout the day. He’s not the easiest dog to care for, so I was impressed with how easily he took to her and how well she cared for him. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Haley and Ephraim were wonderful with our dog while we were gone for a full week. Great communication, lots of photo updates, and they left our house in perfect shape. Their references were glowing as well! Our dog is big (75lb) and moderately leash-reactive and they handled it really well. He was totally himself when we got home!”

“Patrick was great to work with! He took great care of our dog and cats while we were out of town. We set up some walks with my dog so she could get comfortable with him. He responded quickly to check-ins and any questions we had!! We’ll be using him again for sure!”

About: I’ve taken care of sunconures, cockatiels, dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles ever since I can remember. My dog is a senior at the end of her life so I have experience with that as well I do work in office from 9-5 Monday-Friday. So during that time not able to walk pets. Other than that I am able to care for them. in my home I have mutiple rooms/big enough house incase the pets need to be kept seperate. If I’m going to your home I’m trust worthy and will not tamper with anything.
“Natalie was great!! This was our first time booking with her and we would 100% want her to come back. So would our pup! She stayed in our home with him while we were away and our dog acted like they were best friends from the start. Natalie spent lots of time with him and took care of feeding, walking, and playing with him like a pro. Her communication was excellent and she even left behind adorable Polaroid pictures of our little guy for us to enjoy, along with a clean house just like we left it. We’d trust Natalie with our dog and home again any time and hope the experience was as good for her as it was for us!”

“Steven was wonderful with Henry! He took the time to make Henry feel safe and comfortable around someone new. Steven asked great questions and took things slow until Henry was ready. Steven clearly has a love and passion for all animals! We can’t wait to have Steven come back again.”

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

About: In the past I've owned cats for 16 years and a dog for 6. I have experience with elderly cats and dogs. I have also pet sit for family and friends I only work at night a couple days a week so I home a majority of the the and can provide your pet with constant care I have a house with a yard but there is no fence so dog would be on a leash outside. I currently have no pets in the house
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in Grammer school. At one point in my life I shared a home with four roommates with pets. All together we had 3 dogs and 4 cats at one time. I have had 3 cats in my lifetime as well. My family, wife and daughter, currently have no pets,(our family Doberman passed a few years ago)so it seems the perfect time to provide care for your pets in your time of need. I currently work part time in the music industry and real-estate. I have flexible days to offer for your pets. My wife and daughter are also very good with pets. In a way, you get 3 care givers for the price of one! I have a spacious backyard that has a secure 6 foot wooden fence all the way around the property. My family and I currently do not have pets besides our fish, Blueberry, so all our attention can be focused on your loved one.
About: Ever since I was little I have loved dogs. Although I have my own dogs that I love so dearly I also love meeting and spending time with new dogs. It is so fun to get to meet new dogs and their personalities! I’m currently working as a substitute teacher and a hostess so on some days I will be available whenever but other times might be more constricted. As long as I know a bit beforehand I can usually make something work! During the weekends I am basically open despite when I am working at the restaurant. While caring for pets in my clients home I will be sure to follow all the rules and schedules that have been given to me. I will make sure that all pets are made to feel cared for to ease the absence of their owners.
