About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet-sat for people, walked numerous dogs from the shelters, and even fostered shelter cats in my home. I am comfortable with all ages of pets and all sizes. I would love to be available for your needs all weekdays past 4pm. I do work full-time, but would be willing to do whatever I can to help you. I can care for your pets in your home whether it's walking, playing, feeding, or caring for them. I am okay with bathing and brushing the pet. Also okay with taking in the car with me if we go to the dog park.

About: I got my first dog when I was 7 years old and also take care of my parents dog when needed. I also used to walk dogs for my friend’s doggy daycare business and go to others houses to let their dog out. I currently am a dog mom to a silly little 7 year old corgi as well. I have always loved dogs and believe they deserve to be treated with all the love and treats they deserve 💕 I currently work full time during the week, but I am still available to walk or let out your pup to go potty anytime after 5:00pm. I am also available anytime on Saturdays and Sundays for boarding, walking, or let outs! I love walks and can walk your dog anytime they need as I do not have a yard. I have a friendly corgi that is very relaxed and gets along with other dogs well.

Sarah is honest, trustworthy and will take good care of any animal that she is hired to watch. She is on time and will respect any instructions that you give her regarding the care of your “family member” because that’s how she views animals. She has always taken good care of ours!”

“Lora went above and beyond this past visit and deservingly earned 5 stars. She checked in on Snoopy one extra time because she wasn't sure I made it back home from vacation and she even bought her Snoopy a new toy. Way to go and I can't wait to have her back to care for my pets.”
18. Kamryn G.

20. Samantha H.
About: I have lived around animals all my life. I have two dogs of my own who I've helped raise and train. I have had kittens and cats in the past that I've loved. Growing up in the country, I've been around and raised chickens, ducks, and rabbits. Animals are a part of my identity and they will always be in my life. I am currently unemployed, so I have taken up pet sitting until then. I have mostly full availability to care and appreciate your amazing animals. I use kennels on my own dogs that they've marked as their safe spaces. I currently and in the past have used leashes and harnesses to walk dogs and cats.
