About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.

Having Steff check on Peanut while I was away made me feel so much more comfortable. She was kind and would send me daily pictures of my baby.

About: I am a 28 year old animal lover! I spoil every dog I encounter and believe dogs are better than some people. I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I treat my three current dogs. I have over 6 years of experience of working with animals, mostly in an animal shelter and grooming spa setting. As of now, I am available 6 days a week until about 12:30pm to walk your pups and/or stop by your home to make sure they are good for when you get home! I would be happy to help your day a little less stressful knowing your pup(s) are in good hands! I love all types of dogs big and small and would love to care for your pets.

I could not be happier with how Marianna took care of my cat. Kunkcles was well taken care of while I was away. Marianna did everything I asked. I will definitely return to her in the future if she is available.

Jamey visited my newly adopted senior cat three times a day for three days. She fed her, gave her medications, cleaned her litter box and kept her company. It’s so comforting to know that I can enjoy my little vacations while my cat is well cared for back at home.

I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and backyard chickens, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, and i genuinely enjoy spending time walking, visiting, feeding, and caring for animals of all kinds. I care for pets in your home by following their normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and attentive care while owners are working or away.

Samatha really helped us in a last minute need! She was communicative, prompt, and thorough. Unfortunately our Bonnie had an accident in her excitement to meet her new friend and she was kind enough to clean it up while we were out too. Will definitely use Samantha to help out with Bonnie anytime we need!

About: I have a passion for working with dogs (and cats), especially in training with them. I have 10+ years experience of working, riding, and training horses! No matter the age or size, I’ll be there to care for them when you need. Even if they have special needs or quirks, I’ll always accommodate I’m currently in-between jobs, but looking for something full time in the early morning, so I can prioritize my passion for a career with dogs! Weekends are available, depending on the time, but I will always try and work something out! No matter the size or age of your pet, I will always try my very best to accommodate! The two cats I have at home are harness trained so I can still provide them outside time. I am very willing to help at home with keeping within the animals needs.
