“Hope was amazing with our senior cat! She took time to get to know him and played with him during her visits. She was also able to give him his medication without issue. She was excellent with her communication and gave wonderful updates with pictures! We will be asking Hope to pet sit again in the near future.”
“We had a great experience with Courtney! We had her check on our cats while we were away. She was a great communicator, was kind enough to bring a package in for us, and left our house in great shape. She arrived on time and was great to work with. We would be happy to work with her again!”
“Gail was wonderful with Doris! We had a few hiccups as this was our first time apart but we're ready for the next trip and will ask for Gail! She was patient while Doris & I missed one another. My rescue dog is very special to me and Gail & I worked together to get Doris through the experience and by the last day she was settling in to the new routine. Thank you Gail! Your my 1st choice FOREVER!”
About: I've been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life and have been in home pet sitting for over 20 years. I will give your pet the attention they deserve on a daily basis. I am happy to accommodate whatever requests you have in order to take care of your pet. I work from home and create my own schedule. So I am available to make in-home visits whenever you need them. I'm also able to accept last minute reservations for care. While I do own six cats, they are able to be separated from other animals that I am boarding in my home. I have a very large backyard, it is unfenced, so I would keep your pet on a leash or lead while outside. I prefer to watch animals in their own home, for their own peace and security. I am happy to do overnight stays if required. I'm very trustworthy and I am completely comfortable with you having cameras in your home while I am there.
About: I've taken care of several dogs, cats and rabbits of my own and for other family members of all ages and breeds. I also groom them and assist with kennel care as needed. I care for dogs, cats and rabbits on a daily basis. This includes feeding, grooming and exercising them. I have been doing this for the last 9 years of my life. I feed and water all of my animals daily as well as supervise them with outdoor activities. I also provide grooming as well as kennel care.
About: Hello! I am an avid animal lover. I got my first pet when I was 3 years old. It was a kitten named Nicky. He taught me a lot of responsibility and showed me a lot of love. A few years later my my mom added several dogs to the family - miniature Schnauzers, Standard Schnauzer, and a Beagle mix Having these animals in my life has given me great experience and also taught me unconditional love. My previous dog helped me get through the rough days when I lost my mom to cancer. I have learned to care for seniors, animals requiring medication (orally) and how to work with young animals especially puppies. In your employ my top priority will be your pets happiness. Working for you is my only employment and my focus will be on your dog or cat only. They will get my undivided attention and I hope to spoil them like crazy. Since I have dealt with several puppies I can even try to bring some training tips to your dog if needed. Personally, I do still have my pup Julius but he lives with family out in the country loving his best life in open fields He is 12 now, He is my furry angel in he was my little protector. It is so true that not all angels have wings. I would have kept him but I could not afford all of the vet bills when you take care of a pet properly, luckily I have a family member I love so much that was able to provide that. I love spoiling dogs of course with the doggy parental guidelines, this includes specific food regiments and pills. I hope that I will get to meet you and your fur babies soon! I have a very go with the flow attitude except when it comes to animals and people I care about. So they will be number one! In my home I create a safe environment. I'm very aware of other animals around to keep your dogs safety number one priority. Unfortunately in this world people at their dogs off leash and that can be a problem. I have no problem following any regimented food or medication delivered to the animals. Also if I'm in a client's home I would treat it with respect and basically make it look like nothing has changed except your dog has gotten top-notch care. If there's anything specific in the requiring overnight boarding I am more than happy to oblige with that.

About: I have had dogs all my life and recently left my job at a local dog shelter. My sister and I have been fostering and volunteering for the shelter for almost two years now. We have fostered everything from full grown pitbulls down to 6 week old boxer puppies. My passion is dogs. Whenever friends and family go out of town, I’m the designated dog sitter. No dog is too much to handle. I have two wonderful dogs of my own and they love to play and have guests. I try to go on walks everyday and I try my best to provide the care and attention each dog needs. I have a full time job that I work until 5 Monday through Friday, but I am home every day at lunch time for an hour and am able to take the dogs out to play and go potty. I have a very quiet and stress free home. I work full time so I am gone from 7am until between 430 and 5 Monday through Friday. I am home on the weekends other than running errands. My dogs and I like to spend a lot of time outside playing when we are home. I treat my pets and other’s like family. My pets sleep with me and when others are here they do as well as long as their owners are okay with it. I do have ways to separate dogs if that is necessary. If I am at someone else’s home, I will follow whatever parameters they have for their animals.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home since I was born and have always been a big animal lover! I’ve always had a dog bestfriend in my life and I love making new fur baby friends. I’m a mostly stay at home mom looking to bring in some more income, so hoping to make pet care a part of my routine pretty often! I wish I had the space to bring your fur baby into my own home but sadly I don’t. But, I will treat your fur baby and your home with the love and care as if they were my own!
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals from bunnies to horses. I grew up raising and showing pigs, goats, rabbits and longhorns. I have ample experience with house hold pets. The past two years I have worked with local animal rescues to find forever homes for dogs. I have taken care of all kinds from bottle babies to seniors needing a place to relax u til they cross the rainbow bridge. I am more than capable of accommodating to medications and special need patients. I personally have four dogs of my own and have fosters in and out of my house all of the time. Taking care of pets is all I do and is something that I excel at. I am a firm believer of consistency in animals and will take care of your pet however you see fit. I would except the same thing for my animals and will ensure that your pets get the best service.
About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, and it's a passion of mine to love and take care of animals. For extra money in high school, I would dog sit for family friends while they were on vacation, and I still dog/cat sit for my friends and family occasionally. Recently, both of my childhood dogs passed away. I can't have dogs in my apartment and I feel a longing to bond and spend time with dogs. This job is a wonderful way to utilize my animal experience and also fulfill my need to interact with dogs. I currently work as a real estate agent, so my schedule is very flexible. If you would like your dog walked or cared for routinely throughout the week, let me know and I will be happy to fit you into my schedule! I do not offer dog boarding for clients since I am not allowed dogs/cats in my apartment. I do however love to dog sit or just come by during the day to take them on a walk. I understand animals are a part of the family and it takes a lot of trust to allow someone else to take care of them. I always send you pictures of your pet when I’m caring for them. Not only does this assure you that your pet is in good hands, but who doesn’t love a random picture of their furry friend?!
About: All throughout my life I've lived with animals, I was always excited to walk the dogs, hang out with the cats. I've had my dog since she was born and she just turned 11 in March, she is my whole world. I want to be able to care for all the animals I can! All week-days, weekends depend. I can do daily/weekly care Mon-Fri 9am-9pm. Just shoot me a message on when you need me and I will be there! I have a nice big back yard, one dog and one cat to play with your pets or I could dog sit at your house, that is no problem to me either. I will do anything I can to make sure your babies needs are tended to.
About: I've been fond of dogs since I was a child and they have returned the same fondness. Dogs and I have always had a special energy and connection. I guess they can tell I love them, appreciate them and truly believe they are "Mans Best Friend." I enjoy dogs of all sizes and my family has always called me their version of the "Dog Whisperer". When not looking after others fur balls I enjoy three of my own. Cayenne is a black Schnauzer and Kashmir and Jag are Mi-Ki's and were brother and sister from the same litter. All three are 10 years old. I look forward to being of service to you and providing whatever care or attention you need. I live in an apartment so I don't have room to board. I do however enjoy looking and caring for pets in their own environment whether that be walking them, companion visits, helping get them to the vet, etc. Whatever you need I will do my best to deliver. I look forward to meeting you!
About: I have had a variety of animals in my home since I was born and I love each and every one. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs. I currently work part time, so I will always have time to take care of your animals! I usually work 11-4 or 4-7 depending on the day, so I will make sure to check in on your animals multiple times throughout the day. I would love to come check in and play with your animals while you are away! I also have a pup that I could bring along to play with yours if they need a friend!

Kristina D.
“Kristie watches my dogs for me all the time and they LOVE her. I have 3 dogs: a 12 year old pomeranian/poodle named Lucy, a 2 year old boxer mix named Freedom, and a 1 year old schnauzer/pit named Panda. My dogs are all very different and they all have different needs, but I always know that they are taken care of when I leave them with Kristie. Panda has ENDLESS amounts of energy and needs a lot of playtime and exercise to be happy, Freedom is happy to just hang out, but she needs at least 2-3 long walks a day so she can hunt all the squirrels and rabbits that she watches from the window, and Lucy wants nothing more to sit in your lap and occasionally be let out to potty and munch on some plants. Kristie knows all of their personalities and needs and takes care of them accordingly. I highly recommend her!!”

Since I’ve known her, she has worked with toddlers in a daycare, elderly people in a nursing home and families as a nanny. The next step is watching fur babies! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
