Maria has watched and cared for our 5-year-old dog, Drax, on multiple occasions for both drop-in care and multi-day overnight care since he was 1. Maria is the definition of an animal lover: she sees every house pet as a new personal companion and treats them as her own. Drax cannot contain his excitement when he gets to spend time with Maria as she provides the utmost care and attention when she is with him. She manages feeding, walks, and playtime per our exact instructions. We know we always have someone trustworthy to rely on when we make out-of-town plans or even just need someone to drop in on long days away from home. Maria sends photo updates of our best bud when we're away (which are greatly appreciated), is always tidy when visiting, and doesn't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns if any arise. If you want to relax while away from your furry family members and trust that they are being well taken care of, don't hesitate to hire Maria.

Ashley is great with my dog Winnie. She had an issue tearing up things while left alone when i work and so far she hasn’t torn anything up this week! she looks so happy and excited in every photo i’m sent and she isn’t as anxious when i get home. I will continue to have Ashley walk my dog and give my cat cuddles when i’m away from home❤️

Dana was AMAZING with my Bella! Bella is a senior dog that has to wear diapers because she just doesn't care to go outside anymore. She loves to cuddle and sleep. Dana took her care of her last minute while we went out of town. I was sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend. She even changed her diapers! Bella was so loved and well taken care of! I will most definitely use Dana again and cannot recommend her enough!!!

Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.

Emma is my go-to pet sitter. She watches my 9 year old cat and 5 year old dog anytime I travel for work or for vacation. She's super reliable, has really great flexibility in terms of her availability, and is so good with my pets; sometimes I think they like her more than me. LOL. She's easy to work with and is a great communicator. She always sends plenty of pics and makes sure to spend plenty of time snuggling and playing with my boys so that I don't worry while I'm away. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve personally had dogs since I was in first grade. I’ve fed, bathed, took dogs for walks and just played with them. I enjoy their company and enjoy being around them. I’m hoping to gain more experience. I go based off their schedule and work around it. I’m pretty flexible schedule wise and I make time to provide their needs socially, emotionally and mentally. I supervise and attend to their needs the best I can. If you have instructions for me, I follow them. I provide a safe and caring environment for your pet. I encourage play time and try to give dogs potty breaks every couple of hours to avoid accidents.

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was born, ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds, turtles.. And since I was young I helped care for them! Once I hit my pre-teen years I began volunteering at animal shelters, helping with animals of all kinds! I once even held a fundraiser in middle school for a local shelter who needed help gathering supplies for their pets. I have experience with animals who need medications or have special needs! I personally have a small elderly chihuahua and assist my parents in caring for their young energetic german shepherd. I’m currently a college student focusing on my education, so I have plenty of time to assist you with all your pet care needs! I’ll be available to stay with your fur babies for as long as you need me to, with no disruptions! Since I have a pet of my own I’m unable to house-sit in my own house, but I’ll love your fur baby in their own home just how you want me to! I’ll respect any and all rules and make sure I follow instructions to a T! I won’t bring anything with me when I care for your pet that could pose as a risk to them and their health.

About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.
