About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Had a cat and 4 dogs in the past. Had 3 dogs and a cat in the past. Can talk to different animals spiritually and now also can talk to them through AI technology.

12. Ciara P.
“Ciara stayed at my house and took care of my dog Doug while I was on a 5-day trip. She did an outstanding job. She was mature, responsible, and a great communicator-- I got regular updates and pictures by text. She took him on walks, made sure he was fed on time, and gave him play time. I felt very at ease being away, because she clearly had everything handled. I would definitely hire her again.”
