“Arin is fantastic! We had such peace of mind knowing they were dropping in to check on our sick pup while we were both at work, and all of our dogs (even our shy hound) loved them during the meet and greet.

20. Kayla C.
About: I’ve cared for all types of dogs and cats since I was 14. I briefly worked as a veterinary assistant in high school and can administer multiple forms of medication. Let me know how I can make your pet feel at home when you’re not. ❤️ I work full-time remotely and I am usually available on weekends. I am available to stop in during the day as my schedule is flexible! I live in a house with a rescued 8 year old male cat named Gimlet. He’s very gentle and gets along with almost everyone. I have an unfenced yard, but it is private in a small neighborhood with little traffic.
