We had a great experience with Fernando. It was our first experience with Rover and the first time leaving Oscar with a sitter, so we were nervous. Fernando put us at ease from the initial meet and greet. He was super responsive, punctual, and took the time to really learn about Oscar’s habits. He sent numerous updates and photos each day, so we never wondered how things were going. Oscar also takes multiple medications, and Fernando handled that seamlessly.

Tammy is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her at the meet and greet, I knew I had found a great dog sitter. She is the kindest, most reliable, caring and experienced dog sitter I've ever met. I trust her 1000% with my fur baby. She sends updates with photos and videos. She made the separation for the day worry free. She is the best!

Michael and Durell are lovely. Durell watched our dogs (one elderly dog and one very active puppy) at our home and they were very happy! Thank you!

Beth was amazing and cared for my pets (who are basically my children) like they were her own. She followed their routine and administered medication to my cat exactly the way she was suppose to. She even bought them treats :) she stayed in communication and sent pictures of my pets throughout her stay and she even went above what was expected and did my dishes and vacuumed! Will definitely recommend her to others and if I could she would get 100 stars. Thank you so much for everything- will be using you every time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed pets. I have experience with different breeds and size dogs, even with puppies. And I've gotten use to cleans messes and teaching from time to time. I'm not an expert but what I learned has help my friends and family with the dogs and puppies. Also if bathing the dog is a problem I have no issues handling it if the need arrives. I'm free anytime from Monday thru Friday but not Thursday evenings and I can do weekends if necessary but not Sunday mornings unfortunately do to religious reasons unless I'm pet sitting. I do have different size crates if needed one small, medium, and xtra large and I do have a gated section in my home for the dogs.

About: I've always loved being around animals. For the past 2-3 years give or take, I would help out and take care of my family and friends pets whenever they would be was away. Dogs, Cats, even Guinea pigs. It's something that I love doing, and I love to hang out with them and care for them :) It's what made me realize I wanted to do this more. I feel I can resonate with their energy, and get along with them very well. I also grew up having a dog, and though hes no longer with me I always love being around animals regardless. I aim to be available whenever I can! I am not in school, nor do I have any full time work. I'm open for pretty much all days including weekends. Regardless of the environment, or animal, cat or dog, I will always aim to make sure they are comfortable, fed and given affection. I'd walk and clean up after them if and when needed to. My house is always clean, and should I be at a client's house, I will make sure it looks exactly the same as it did when I arrived (better if possible)

About: I’ve had pets all my life , from bunnies to dogs and cats, gerbils, even fish. Animals are such a big part of my day to day life, constantly providing happiness. Back in high school i’d feed the cats at lunch time and spend time with them. I currently have two dogs i rescued, as well as a cat who recently found her way into my heart. I’m available 24/7 for your pet care needs - around the clock, 365 days a year. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pet and ensure they’re entertained. I have a fenced yard so your pup can play around, and 2 beautiful doggie fur babies to keep your pet company (if your pet is not friendly i live in a home with an upstairs and down stairs so they can be kept separate and happy!!!) I have a cat tree as well as plenty of cat and dog toys on hand.

About: ’ve been around pets my entire life — from my own cats and dogs to caring for family members’ and neighbors’ pets. I genuinely connect with animals and take their comfort, safety, and well-being seriously. I’ve always had a natural respect for their personalities, boundaries, and needs. My full-time career as a firefighter means I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and physically capable of handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I stay in strong physical shape, which helps when caring for larger or more energetic breeds — including my cousin’s Cane Corso, Kane, who’s a big, gentle, and powerful dog. I aim to be the kind of sitter pet owners feel confident trusting — responsible, attentive, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to give pets a safe, calm, and positive experience while giving owners real peace of mind. My full time job is a firefighter. I am able to float my schedule around to accommodate any client’s needs. Essentially, I can work any possible day for a client, given reasonable notice in advance. I can care for your pet exactly how you would like. I don’t mind frequent walk, playing outdoors, or just giving constant attention if needed. You let me know whatever works best for you and your pet!

About: I have been working with dogs for a lot of my life. I've owned two German Shepherds, Two Huskies and a Beagle Dachshund mix so I have dealt with a variety of different dogs. I worked for the Shelby Humane Society for almost 2 years helping animals get adopted. I put my all into caring for animals because it's something I love to do and i love dogs and cats or pretty much any animal for that matter so much so that I treat them like my own children. Your dogs are in good hands with me and no matter what after you receive my services you will be coming back for more. Have a great day everyone and I can't wait to meet your Furry Friends. I'm currently working with a gig agency so I work on my own schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your Furry Friends. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around and exercise. I also have two energetic children who love animals just as much as I do and they will give your furry friend just as much love as I will give them while they are inside my home because any animal that comes into my house is treated like my own child and like a member of my family. I'm also a certified license Advanced EMT so I have medical training under my belt for both animals and humans alike and that is another way that I will make sure your fur babies are completely safe while inside my home and in my neighborhood.

About: Hi! I have been dog sitting and walking for the past two years now. I have walked breeds like large poodles to mini golden doodles! I have dog sat for clients a week at a time giving multiple daily updates and photos throughout my stay. I love to train my dogs on walks by rewarding good behavior and listening to commands with treats. I have grown up with dogs my whole life raising my first puppy when I was 9 years old. Dogs are such a huge part of me and my family’s life, it’s always a privilege to be given the responsibility of taking care of such sweet pets. I hope to meet your pup soon! I currently work part time at the apple store and choose my hours which is a great privilege. It allows me to make time for walks or drops in at almost any time. Weekdays or weekends from early morning to late night. I treat my dog at home like any other family member with great respect and love. I always check on them multiple times a day and make sure they are eating correctly, taken out for a walk, and getting lots of play time. The same treatment always goes for my clients pups without fail.

This is second vacation Leslie has house set for us. She is amazing! We have two rescue dogs that we wanted to leave in their home while we were away. She fed them, played and walked them and gave them their meds. Peace of mind knowing your fur babies are well cared for makes being away more relaxing. We had daily texts with photos which helped with our missing them too.
