Max is amazing! And Jackson adores him! Max recently came by for a drop in visit. He arrived on time and was able to take Jackson on a much-appreciated walk. Then he spent time playing with Jackson and giving him one of his favorite biscuits!! Max kept me updated on how things were going so I didn’t worry. Great communication. I knew Jackson was in good hands. Max is very dependable and I am so grateful that I found him. He will definitely be coming back to watch Jackson!

Jada was amazing with my sweet kitties. Her caring nature and compassion made me feel at ease while Away on vacation. Her prompt attention to any requests were quickly made with ease. I knew she was a cat whisperer when she sent sweet pictures of my shy kitty on her very first visit to my home. Even during a holiday weekend, Jada was prompt and attentive. I will definitely be booking with Jada for my next vacation. ❤️

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer. I am 33 years old . I majored in business. I am a fun, responsible, caring, loving person. I love animals more than anything! I will take care your fur baby, as if they were my own! I have been taking care of pets since 2016. I own two rescue pups! Best decision that my family and I ever made. ❤️ I have self trained my own dogs. I have also saved more than a dozen pets who roam the streets and have nowhere to go. Even the aggressive ones. Medically- I know animal CPR. I know how to give a pet medication. I have taken care of very elderly dogs, handicapped dogs. Deaf or blind. there are pets who are both deaf & blind and I am extra on top of them. I am used to very energetic dogs! So, that is not an issue. I have dealt with very shy & scares dogs as well. Who leaves my home with a brand new personality! I have a big & fenced backyard. It is locked on top and boarded on the bottom. No way in, no way out! If you currently crate training your pet, I can easily continue to crate train here. Lastly, if your pet is under my care they will be as safe as they can be! You will receive updates and photos throughout the day. I will follow the same schedule that they have at home, with me! :) I work from home 24/7. I am available all day to tend to your pet. I am available any time unless I am booked. :) I will always be with your pet at all times. They will never leave my side. Safety takes a HUGE ROLE in my services. My backyard is fully fenced in. Boarded from the bottom, locked on top. No way in, no way out. My backyard/home is a very safe environment for any pet that comes & goes.

About: I've spent a lot of my adult years with dogs around and have been trusted many times by family. I've had my husky, Togo, spend the week with me multiple times while my dad has been on vacation or just because I wanted to spend time with him while I was up at school in my DPT program or in undergrad. I also have some experience working in an animal hospital! I'm currently not working, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your beautiful pets! I would be available weekdays and weekends. I can easily adapt to schedules and needs of your pets to make it the best experience possible for them! I like to set expectations prior so there isn't any miscommunication and always having an open line of communication throughout. I will always send pictures and updates of your pets too.

Heeyoung was awesome. We had a wedding to go to and realized last minute that we needed someone to watch Ollie, our 4 month old Basenji. We contacted Heeyoung the day before, she responded so quickly and was able to come to our house, meet Ollie, go over all the instructions and we were all set. She came on the night of the wedding, texted us when she got to our house, she also texted us all the details of her visit, and then again when she left. Such a terrific experience and Heeyoung was so gentle and caring with Ollie. Will definitely will be using Heeyoung for future dog sitting and will be meeting with her over the summer to discuss boarding Ollie when we go on vacation. Thank you Heeyoung!!

Mary was wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect pet sitter. Upon meeting her, I knew immediately that my dogs would be well taken care of, and the pictures she sent me while I was away assured me that my dogs were very happy while in her care.

About: I have over 10 years of experience working with animals, including time in a professional animal hospital where I provided hands-on care in a fast-paced environment. Although I’ve stepped away from the hospital setting, my love for animals has never changed—I continue to bring calm energy, patience, and attentive care to every pet I look after.” I work full time; I will be able to do early mornings and evening hours. Mornings would consist of walking and feeding as does evening hours with any other specific needs for your pet. I would treat them as my own pets and any special instructions will follow accordingly for the pet's best experience and owners as well. ,

Communication with Lisa was very easy. She arrived within the time window and took care of all of the details My very shy cat actually showed his face when she was around, which is good. When I arrived home, everything was neat and clean I will repeat

About: I have been pet sitting for seven years, and have experience with dogs of all breeds and ages. I am also a certified dog groomer and work in a vets office PT..! I have experience with special needs animals as well as administering meds/fluids/injections. I believe in treating all animals I care for as if they are my own! I have also owned cats, dogs, and even small animals in my life as well. When the weather is nice your pet will go on many outdoor adventures to new places such as the beach, play dates and even restaurants that are dog friendly! Please note overnights start at 3 pm and end at 10 am next day. There is an additional charge for any additional care needed that is not within this time frame. Holidays and holiday weekends also carry an additional fee. I can not accept dog aggressive dogs for daycare/boarding but can watch them in your home. My schedule is very flexible and I do my best to accommodate each pets specific needs! My care is not one size fits all like many others I always do my best to follow instructions as closely as possible and keep your pet on the same schedule, which provides for an easier adjustment for them.

About: Animals have always made me so happy, I have watched many family pets through my life, spending many hours on the floor playing with them, and taking them for long walks. For the last 3 years, I have provided support to several families in need of home sitting, daily walks and entertainment for their pets. Of course I would be happy to provide references upon request. I work everyday from 8-4! so I can be very flexible and head on over after work. I mainly would be able care for your pet on the weekends, but during the week is fine for me if it’s fine for you :) Caring for a pet to me would mean a clean safe environment. Making sure if it’s a puppy there are no choking hazards around that it’s not gonna harm the animal. Also, tiding the area keeping toys to one location, any accidents the animal may have, I would clean that up. Making sure there’s always fresh clean water for the puppy to drink, and plenty of play time and exercise. Some animals may have long hair and that may require some grooming with a brush.

Khrys was truly the perfect cat sitter! I booked her to give my cat oral medications - not only was she able to start a booking on very short notice, but she was extremely competent, friendly, and a great communicator. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

As always, Yulia was fantastic. Our cats are normally shy with strangers, but Yulia was so patient with them. She would play with them and brush them and she took amazing care of our girls. She will always be our go to cat sitter.

Stephanie once again cared for my four cats -- this time for 10 days. She is so great to work with. Responsive and responsible. She sent pictures daily, spent time giving my curmudgeonly kitties love and play time, and ultimately allowed me to enjoy my vacation without a single worry. She is just a wonderful.

Vivian had the perfect mix of care and professionalism to deal with our elderly cat, who was reluctant to take her medications. Vivian has my strongest recommendation.
