8. Hadleigh F.
“Hadleigh is amazing with our pets, we have known Hadleigh for the past 6 years. We have 1 dog and 2 cats, Hadleigh stayed at our home while we were on vacation multiple times. She sent us photos and videos numerous times during the week of our furry friends. Our pets took to Hadleigh like she was one of the family members. Our dog Sadie even cried when she left and is always so excited to see her. We have also had her come by and let our dog out while we were working. She is great with following their schedules and getting our girl out for a walk in the park. Hadleigh won’t disappoint as a pet sitter!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals! I can keep them if needed or come to your place of residence to walk and care for or to just play with, I have 5 pets of my own if I could have more I would haha, I’ve always had an animal for as long as I can remember, Iv taken care of quite a bit of animals most were rescued, I nursed them back to health and found new homes for them. At one point in time I took care of 7 new born kittens after they were thrown out and abandoned from their mother, I used to live on a farm and took care of farm animals from sun up till sun down, and now I have so much free time I don’t know what to do with it haha
10. Sierra M.
About: I have been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school. I have many years experience with home and pet sitting. I can also administer medications including vaccines. I am currently looking to do pet sitting full time and have a very open schedule, so I am very flexible in what days I can sit. I will no longer be accepting clients if it is within a week of booking, as that does not give me time to properly look into who I accept as a client. I am also requiring a meet and greet at least a week in advance to see if your dogs are properly trained and will listen to basic commands, and to make sure the house is clean and liveable for the time I will be there. I plan on utilizing what is available at your house, but I also plan on taking your pet for car rides or to parks to enjoy the outdoors, if that is something they are allowed. I can’t stay at a house or get dogs out of a house with cats. I am highly allergic to them, so it has to be a dog only household. I am currently only able to stay at your home as an option, as my household has dog unfriendly dogs.
11. Valentina F.
“Val did great with our kittens! We very much appreciated getting daily updates and pictures and they were happy and healthy when we got home. Excellent service and we highly recommend.”
12. Ashlee S.
“As a loving dog mom herself, Ashlee knows the ins and outs of pet care from top to bottom. Her own puppies, Chloe and Einstein, are a living testament to the love, care and affection she has for dogs. She cares about animals with so much of her heart, and goes above and beyond to care for them whenever they need her. She’s provided her own puppies with the kind of life that all dogs deserve, and there’s no one I would trust more than her to care for my pets.”
13. Rebekah P.
“Bekah has taken care of my dog beau multiple times! She is very interactive and playful with him! She gets all of his energy out and gives him so much love! I can’t recommend her enough!”
14. Faith N.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was in middle school and I am well versed in bathing, feeding, walking, and administering eye drops and medication to animals. Senior care is one of my strong suits as I have taken care of not only my own senior dog but family members senior pets as well. I am currently a part time student at Rhodes State College and I work at UPS part time as a package handler. I am off every Wednesday and weekends. I will make sure that your pet is taken care of as instructed whether it be feeding times, portions, needing medicine at a certain time, or enrichment time.
15. Lilie B.
“I was one of Lilie’s first housesitting jobs. I have 5 big dogs and had a raccoon outside at the time that she took care of. She did an amazing job cleaning up after all of them and made me feel better leaving them alone during the week of July 4th.”
16. Juliana M.
“Juliana is someone who is dedicated and willing to help whenever it is needed. She has demonstrated excellent responsibility and able to follow instructions on what a pet may need and their schedule. She is flexible when helping watch other pets and is always early to pick or drop them off!! She has pet sat my service dog in training and demonstrated the love for him, tending to his potty/feeding schedule, worked with him on commands, etc.. Please consider Juliana to watch/walk/love on your animal!!”

18. Jaekob S.
“My husband and I have used Jaekob for several year to care for our rambunctious Yellow Lab in our home. Jaekob has been a great fit for us! Ollie loves him and jumps right into his lap to get cuddles. Jaekob is respectful of our home and is flexible with scheduling if our leaving/returning times have to be adjusted. We highly recommend him but hope he'll always be available for Ollie when we need him!”

20. Chelsea G.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family and neighbors for over 4 years! I watched a variety of animals including cats, dogs, bunnies and horses. I love being able to spend time with animals, getting to walk and play with them and seeing them happy. Seeing them happy makes me happy. For payment I accept Venmo or cash! During the summer I’m very flexible and am available everyday. Once school starts up again I’ll have availability around lunch time and be free around 6. Some days I’ll have more availability. All pet sitting will be done at the clients home. Once school starts I’ll be living on campus and will not be allowed to have pets.
