Debra always takes great care of our 2 Maltese senior dogs. They love her and we feel they are in good hands with her. Beau needs medication and gives it on time to him. As well as baths to both. She stays at our house and it is clean and neat when she leaves. Would recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 11 I’ve had my own personal dogs for 5 years now and then I used to work at a dog grooming shop as a groomer and still am on the side! But I’ve recently became a stay at home mom for a sweet 4 month old boy! I’ve also worked at dog daycare center as well. I also am a cat mom to and almost 15 year old kitty! She is my soul kitty and I love her dearly! I recently became a stay at home mom and I’m wanting to make a little extra money to help my husband out! My schedule is pretty flexible and taking care of animals comes easy to me! I personally leave my dogs out day and night. They typically sleep with my husband and I in bed and are the worst bed hogs😂. We take them on evening walks a few times a week and also like to take them on car rides to my parents house! But I’m open to care for my clients animals any type of way they prefer!

About: I have always had large dogs around me all my life. As soon as I turned 18 I found my first shelter dog - a Husky! I fell in love with the breed and homed and loved 5 huskies since. I watch my neighbors Australian Shepherds' and Samoyed for years when they go out of town at my home with my own dogs. My pet care experience comes with just a true love dogs and having them around all my life. I work for the school system so my hours are fair to help with your needs. I'm also available for weekends and most holidays. I will also have more time in the summer to play with your fur babies. I can accommodate much of your needs for you dog(s). Whether at my home with a large fenced in yard plus my 10 year old husky looking for playmates or in the comfort of your fur babies own home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, including senior dogs and puppies. I provide personalized attention to every dog, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I ensure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and care through scheduled walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits to accommodate each pet’s needs. I prioritize safety by following pet parents’ instructions, maintaining a secure environment, and ensuring dogs are always supervised. Whether in my home or theirs, I provide a clean, stress-free, and loving space where pets feel comfortable and cared for.

Christine was absolutely amazing with our two miniature dachshunds while she stayed at our home. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our 10-year-old girl Lychee had an allergy flare-up, and Christine followed all of our instructions carefully with both her medication and topical treatment to help keep her comfortable. We truly appreciated how attentive and responsible she was with her care. We came back to a clean home and two very happy pups. Everything was handled perfectly from start to finish. We honestly can’t recommend Christine enough — we are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!

About: I have taken care of animals, big & small since I was a little girl. I have always been the first contact for friends and family that need someone to care for their animals while they’re away! I am available anytime - I am an early riser and late time caregiver. I understand schedules can be rough & I want to give peace of mind! My rescue dog is animal aggressive, so my baby cannot be around others. I would have to come to your home…Dog walking, playing in the yard, feeding, all the attention & snuggles are included!

Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.

We had such a wonderful experience with Anabel ! She took amazing care of Abbie and treated her like one of her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Abbie was in loving, capable hands while we were away.She kept us updated with such great photos of our sweet Abbie, made sure Abbie was happy and comfortable, and went above and beyond to make the whole experience stress-free. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she provided. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Abbie! Looking forward to using in the future!

Both of my mini Australian Shepherd's adored Colin! He was very attentive and played with them a lot! They both slept like babies after he was here for the night! We will definitely use his services again ! Our dogs went to the front door to watch him, leave and looked sad! He was well loved and very respectful at our home!

I was so anxious about having someone I had only met once watch my dogs at my house for almost 2 weeks. I have an epileptic toy poodle who takes daily meds to prevent seizures and an elderly mostly blind and deaf chihuahua. So they are definitely high maintenance. Joseph was absolutely perfect for the job. He answers texts quickly and had no issues giving meds. I would absolutely use him again.

Jennifer was great with Birdie and we had no worries about her separation anxiety. Jennifer sent a picture and a video in the short window we were away and I was reassured that everything was going well. We appreciated that she was available for 3 hours on Christmas day so we could enjoy our family time. We will definitely be booking with Jennifer the next time we have to leave Birdie. Birdie and Jennifer became best friends on Christmas day!

Brittany arrived on time, and provided photographs and feedback on our Great Dane's activities. She left the house in the same condition as when she arrived. She gave us updates on our girl's eating (she sometimes doesn't eat well when we are out of town), and let her sleep with her a bit! Overall, good experience! Thanks, Brittany!
