About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, lizards, and hamsters! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly adore pets of all kinds. Whether they’re energetic, shy, scaly, fluffy, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own best friend. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible morning schedule and the ability to create my own hours. I love spending as much time as possible with the animals, making sure they feel loved, stay active and engaged through play, and are always safe and well cared for. I live in an apartment complex, so I generally take my dog out every few hours so he can get his exercise, use the bathroom, and enjoy the outdoors. I do the same with those I’m sitting for!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and farm animals since I was 4. I have take care of feeding and walking family and neighbors dogs/cats. I have trained my own dog in obedience and agility training. I have handled high temperament dogs with grooming and bathing. I am a 20 year old currently home from college and my full time job doesn’t start until July! Looking to check in on, play with, feed, stay with or anything in between with your pets! Im available almost anytime weekday or weekend! When in a new home I make sure to learn all of the safety precautions needed to keep your dog safe and well looked after!
“Rachel was very kind and attentive to my dog & I felt very comfortable having her check-in on him from the first day they met. She was always been very prompt and reliable.”
“Jessica cares for Buddy so well! He gets lots of play time. We suspect he might actually look forward to his play dates with her which makes leaving to go camping feel less stressful knowing he's having some fun too!”
“Shanna was prompt and professional! But most of all our dog seemed to love her! She even left our dog a birthday treat. She's really very caring and thoughtful. Wouldn't hesitate to rebook”
“Our cat, Chumley, took to Madison right away. She has a wonderful kind and loving energy. We felt very comfortable having Madison come into our home while we were away. Madison sent us the cutest picture of Chumley while visiting with him. We are very pleased with her service and highly recommend her! Thank you Madison!!!”
“Fantastic service! Felicia was so good and patient with my wild and anxious puppies and even eventually got the anxious one to give her a kiss. Great reports and better pictures than I’ve been able to get. Highly recommend her!”
“Nikki was an awesome sitter! Not only was she reliable and responsible, but she was also able to coax my shy cats out and make friends with them. I felt very confident and comfortable leaving my pet family in her care. I will definitely be asking her to sit again😊”
About: Hello! I’m Claudia Giallella and I’ve always loved caring for animals. In recent years, I have played and cared for chickens, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I love to send pictures and videos of your pets to show they are having fun and are happy while you are away! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and I love to meet new families that are in need for short or long term care for their pets! I am currently working part time at a hair salon, but am mainly focused on pet care. In my daily schedule I have plenty of time to do multiple stops a day to care and play with your pet(s)! I follow the instructions given and make sure I know exactly how you want your pet cared for. In addition to caring for your pet, I make sure the environment is tidy and clean prior to leaving each time.
“Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!”
“Karen is a very kind dog sitter. She met every one of my expectations and more. I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew the pups were being well cared for at home. Thank you Karen!”
About: Hi! My (preferred) name is Daisy & I've been taking care of dogs ever since we adopted my very first canine best friend in 2011! Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and I've been handling & working with dogs almost every day for almost two years as a doggy daycare attendant, kennel staff, special pup advisor, and group coordinator. I love taking them on walks and practicing sits, stays, downs, give paws, etc... I absolutely love all animals and promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own! I currently work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to check in on & spend with your pets! I'm available Saturdays before 12pm, Sundays all day, & most holidays before 3pm. Weekday hours vary and I will always be super transparent about my availability! Your pets' safety is important to me so please feel free to leave detailed instructions and I will follow them to a T. I will also keep consistent contact with you, providing (p)updates with photos! I can crate your dog(s) if needed as well. I'm also Red Cross animal first aid certified. I've handled several scuffles and am able to remain calm in any situation that may arise. Your pet will always be safe with me!
About: I have loved animals, especially dogs for as long as I can remember. My family has owned dogs since I was in middle school and since then I have learned so much and have had tons of experience taking care of them. Two years ago when I moved out on my own, my dream came true of adopting my own dog! Since then I have learned even more about behavior, training, and how to care for a dog the best that I can. I also fostered dogs for about a year, which allowed me to experience dogs from different backgrounds and different behaviors. I know how much I love my own fur baby and how important she is to me, so I will care for your pet as if they were my own. During the week my availability is usually anytime after 5pm and weekends are typically pretty flexible. Please don’t hesitate to ask about any time or day of the week! I am familiar with some basic training and safety is always my top priority, whether we are out and about or in your home. While on walks I will be constantly monitoring the environment and keeping an eye out for anything we may need to steer clear of. Your pet will always be supervised, no matter where we are.
