Felisha is an absolute GEM 💎 she took such great care of our baby boy Maverick while my Aunt was watching him for us! I believe Maverick even walked better for Felisha then he does for my husband and I 😂 My Aunt couldn’t say enough great things about Felisha and stated ANYONE in the area that needed some help with their pup 🐶 should use her! Thank you so much Felisha we will definitely use you again!

Mackenzie is so good with our elderly dog. She patiently walks him at his pace and let him sniff all his favorite spots. We are very happy to have found a compassionate caring person to care for our dog when we can’t be there. We have also had an excellent experience with her watching him for a week at our home and are repeat customers.

About: I have taken care of numerous dogs of varying breeds, ages, and energy levels throughout my life. I’ve only sat one cat before, but we had a great time and I would love to take care of another one! I guarantee to make sure that your pet is well cared for, played with, and given all the attention they require :) I’m going to be working part-time soon, but before I start that I’m available to care for your pet any day of the week from 8am to 10pm, I can do extended and overnight stays as well if needed! I have a fully fenced yard for my senior dog, and I make sure to keep the layout of my space consistent day to day so walking around won’t give him any extra trouble. I can work with whatever space you have to make sure that your pet doesn’t feel cramped or uneasy, and of course we can take walks that are within reasonable distance from the home. I’ll always keep water and doggy bags on me as the health of your pet depends not just on the care they receive, but the cleanliness of their environment.

Couldn’t have asked for a better walker. He fit Logan into his busy schedule which meant a lot to me. I have tendinitis so I can’t walk my dog right now so trying to find someone to walk him in such short notice wasn’t easy. Definitely a life saver!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience caring for my own dog and 12 years of dog-sitting for friends and neighbors. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing loving, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, special diets and subcutaneous fluids, and understand the extra patience and attention they may require. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule most days of the week. I'm available to walk the dog at least 4 times a day and take care of all additional needs throughout the day. I care for pets in a client's home exactly to the owner's specifications. I follow the same schedule/routine that the dog is used to, so they can easily adjust to my presence.

About: As a life-long lover of animals, I’ve taken care of my own cats, dogs, horses, birds and other small animals my whole life. I have recently begun pet sitting for others and find that I really enjoy the opportunity to meet and spend time with other people’s pets. I’m currently semi-retired, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets while you are away. I’d love to keep them company and make sure they don’t miss any meals while you are away. I will spend time with your pets in your home and send you daily photos so you can see how they are doing while you are away.

About: I am an animal lover! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am not here for the money but for your babies to have a great experience while you are away. Have had dogs and cats for most of my adulthood. After my last furbaby passed, I decided instead of getting another one, I would share my love with other people's fur babies. I would love to take care of your 4-legged family members and treat your babies as my own. My love and care are endless. I can stay and play with your beloved furbabies all day 7 days a week. Since I work from home, your cat/dog is guaranteed to have companionship around the clock, and I believe dogs and cats are happiest when humans accompany them and show them affection, and play with them. I do prefer your child/dog/cat to come with his/her own food because it's one less thing for them to adjust. I do however have treats and dog food if needed. I will adhere to your instructions to administer food and/or medicine. I work from home currently. So I should be around your fur babies 24/7 except for grocery or eating out when pets are boarding with me or house-sitting for you. I go to Church on Sunday mornings if the stay goes on Sunday. If you need me to drop in at your place or walk your dog, they can be arranged multiple times a day. I don't have pets or children so no worries about your fur friend fitting in. I will attend to your furball without distractions since I only take a single furbaby each time. I live next to a man-made lake, so I don't have a fenced-in yard, I always walk dogs around our neighboring park. So, no accidents should ever happen in this household indoors or outdoors. If I care for your babies at your place, I always respect your property and leave the house in great shape.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 as I had two in my home. I also started dog walking/sitting in high school. This was a way for me to connect with animals while also engaging in physical exercise. I love connecting with the animals and ensuring they are taken care of when their owner has limited time! I am currently in school full time, but am able to work 3 times a week, or however many days are needed. My schedule is pretty flexible! First and foremost, I respect the owners items. I don’t cross boundaries and I abide by the rules. If respect is shown it is reciprocated which is necessary when working with others. I ensure I clean up and leave the place as I found it or better!

Katie has been walking my two fur babies for a little while now. They can be a handful, but they love her and she is so great with them. No matter what is thrown at her, (one of our leashes broke during a walk) she takes care of it! She keeps me updated daily and sends great pictures! The dogs get their mid day exercise, and they are happy, which makes me happy!
