About: I love animals of all kinds and look forward to getting to know your unique pet! My first animal friends were cats, but my circle quickly grew to include snakes, then dogs, and more recently other invertebrates like spiders and scorpions! While I don't have personal experience caring for birds, I am an avid bird watcher and would love to learn how to take care of an indoor feathered friend. I have experience with young pets, old pets, and pets with chronic illness. I have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. Late morning, afternoon, and evenings preferred. I can accommodate single or multi-night pet/house-sitting. I understand all animals have unique needs and personalities and I look forward to learning how best to care for your pet in your home!!
About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.

About: I have had dogs since I can remember. I have trained puppies to caring for senior dogs. I have also had the same with cats. I have experience with caring for a dog after major surgery. Giving medicine and tending to wounds. We go for walks and take my daughter to the bus. She loves car rides and when working from home she sleeps under my chair. She is a good ball and loves to fetch. Love's water but also gets into everything. I have a fenced in yard but she has gotten bored and jumped the fence so we go for hikes and when we are in the yard I have a lead that she stay on. For her safety as she will chase the deer.
“I highly recommend Diana. She stayed in contact with me for the whole trip. Which really but my mind at ease. I have to say I was really worried when my pet sitter back out at the last minute. However Diana took great care of my pups and house. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

About: I have had many dogs in my lifetime, around 9 different breeds in the past 18 years. I have also been pet sitting for multiple clients over the course of a year. I have taken care of frail senior dogs all the way to puppies. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty if I must. I also have a lot of experience with other animals! I’ve owned birds, lizards, rats, crabs, bunnies, fish, you name it! I will also gladly take care of any pets like these with no extra charge :) I have a flexible job and am able to work around that as well as my college classes as most of them are spaced out throughout the day. I always make sure to let the pups out immediately and change the water in the water bowl, and feed them if it’s time to eat. I typically make sure to wipe the grime out of their eyes in the morning- it bothers me for some reason, I like when dogs have a clean face. I’ll usually stay for around 20 minutes or longer and hang out with the pups. If a dog needs to get his/her energy out, I’ll normally play with them before I leave to ensure they don’t wreck the house. I’ll give a treat twice a day at most.

“M was my downstairs neighbor for almost 2 years and whenever my regular walker was unavailable they jumped right in and walked my pup Abigail for me! They have such a deep love for creatures of all kinds and are so gentle with them. M quickly became one of Abigail’s favorite people in the whole world. They have a cat with special medical needs that they take such incredible care of and they will treat your pet with the same level of attention and patience. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone considering entrusting them with their best friend!”
