13. Amy S.
About: I have over 10 years of experience with cats, dogs, and exotics through private sitting, rescue work, and pet parenthood. My time working with nonprofits and caring for my own special needs animals allows for stress-free trips away from your furry loved ones. Im trained and prepared whether you need a sitter or drop-ins to administer medications. I’m currently working from home and have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. I ask that you give me a week’s notice and a meet and greet so I’m fully prepared to care for each individual pet’s needs. I primarily engage in drop-ins. By keeping your family members in the home they’re familiar with, this minimizes the stress your animal experiences while they’re gone. I can do drop-ins, walks, and medical visits (insulin, Sub-Q fluids, etc). If your animal is in need of unique care, please let me know so we can match their needs.


14. Kendall S.
About: I’ve been around family dogs since the day I was born, with more responsibilities regarding their care once I was older. I adopted my own dog from a shelter in 2019 who required specialized training needs and a closer eye on health care, so I am versed in providing medication and military training methods. I have cared for many friends’ dogs and never met a dog that didn’t love me. I am currently very available for all pet needs, especially during the week days. My favorite things to do with your pets are walks and fresh air while you’re at work or unable to. I am open to learning how YOU take care of your dog and providing seamless care that does not deviate from what your dog is used to in order to make them the most comfortable and continuing their own routine.
