“Liz is FANTASTIC. Scheduling and communication were very easy. My dog is shy and fearful around new people, but he warmed up to Liz immediately. She knew exactly how to approach him and pick up on his cues and make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend.”

“Murphy loves Kristie! I knew from the meet & greet that this would be a good fit. Since our needs are not regular we made a plan on how to handle keys which worked perfectly for us. Highly recommend Kristie!”

About: I grew up around pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Being with them from a young age taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to their different needs and personalities. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, and spending time with the animals to keep them calm and comfortable. Those experiences really strengthened my love for animals and showed me how important gentle, consistent care is. I take pride in treating every pet like family and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m a college student home for the Summer looking for a job. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available when needed!!! I will follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any special care guidelines. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I will do my best to keep their normal routine so they feel secure while their owner is away. I will also give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so clients can feel confident their pets are happy and in good hands.

“Tiara was great at checking in before her first walk with Rocky. She arrived and asked good questions about where to find all of his things, and how to handle running into other dogs on their walk. Rocky had lunch, a nice walk, and got to play with all of his puzzle toys with Tiara! We’ve already booked our next walks with her.”

About: I grew up in the countryside so i have always been around many animals since my childhood years. I've taken care of dogs and cats of many breeds , I grew up in DR so I had a dog whom gave birth 3 times within the same year and I delivered 9 pups each time. I took care and nurtured all of the pups prior to finding them a new home. I also always took care of two dogs my godfathers sisters had whenever she would travel to Florida they would stay with me. I do it because I love animals and rather make sure their in good care than looked at by someone who’s careless. I work at the wind creek , my free days are Sunday through Tuesday and I am available any time. Wednesday through Thursday from 7-5pm are my working hours. However on these days Between 6pm-10pm I can be available. If needed I can also stay the night , Feeding will be done at 5:45am with a quick potty break prior to me leaving at 6:30am. Furry friends can run free at home and outside , i like taking them on walks and playing with them where with my CoCo i give her treats as she does the things I ask of her like Sit , Stay Still , my dog loves these games. This is a safe space we also have a camera outside monitoring everything. At a clients home I always follow their instructions, usually most clients would leave a small instruction pamphlet for me which I always follow.
About: Hi! I’m 30 and I have been pet sitting on Rover for over three years for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. I may be petite but don’t be fooled! I am an aerialist in my spare time, and so I have a lot of upper body strength and can handle large, strong dogs as well as high energy dogs who need long, brisk walks for proper exercise. I have experience with older pets and am comfortable administering medications. Let me know if you would like me to water plants, turn on/off lights, or any other tasks while you are away. Whether you need an extra walk for a feisty pooch, care during your family vacation, or long-term assistance, feel free to contact me for a meet and greet. During COVID era, your comfort is of upmost importance. Please let me know if you would like me to wear a mask indoors, wipe down door handles, etc. to ensure your safety. I work full-time in the animal welfare field, so I am most available for weekend and long weekend pet sitting. I can do occasional weekday walks as well. Safety and mental wellbeing are my top priorities. I always make sure dogs are leashed before going out the door and avoid other dogs and people during walks, just to be safe.
About: I’ve lived with at least one pet my entire life, and have come to understand that a furry presence is one of the things that makes a house a home (or, at least, one I want to live in.) Most people would describe me as that person at the party who would most likely be hiding under the table making friends with the host’s terrified Siamese mix, if that gives you any idea. I have the most experience with cats, but I love meeting dogs, rabbits and especially birds! I am also happy to consider barn/stable work, not just for equines but for goats, sheep, llamas… whatever! I love the exercise. Hope to meet your faithful companions soon! I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Definitely not an early morning person though, so I won’t be available until 9am. I will treat your home with respect and care, and take meticulous care of your property as well as your pets. Neither my very senior dog nor my deaf, older cat are fond of furry visitors, so watching your pets in my home isn’t an option.

My girls were so thrilled to get to go on walks with Kristie! When I got home, they looked disappointed that it was me walking through the door. I was so pleased at how comfortable/happy they seemed with her and will definitely book her again. Luna and Violet say thank you!
