About: Throughout my life I’ve lived and played with dogs of all sizes and ages. My parents had a small, old dog until we moved and brought in a golden retriever. Before I was 10, I was out in charge of raising a German Shepard puppy who grew to be 100 lbs! I currently have a small mixed breed and a black lab, we keep each other entertained and happy. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to meet and take care of your pets. I do travel occasionally and will keep my availability up to date. I live in a fenced-in half-acre where the dogs & chickens run freely. Indoor care and/or crating is no problem as long as the animals can feel safe. I’d prefer to come to you where your pet(s) might be more comfurtable and will be sure to leave your home is as-good-or-better cleanliness than I find it in.

Andrey is amazing! He showed up right on time to meet and greet my pups. He’s very sweet, kind and showed great attention to detail in regards to caring for my crew. My senior dogs need a lot of love and he took such great care of them. He was very communicative, sending me pictures and updates of how my dogs were doing each day. He even kept my home neat and tidy. Andrey was a fabulous choice and I will continue to have him watch my dogs again in the future.

About: I've loved all animals for as long as I could remember and am currently pursuing a veterinary profession in undergrad. I own 3 dogs of my own and am shadowing a veterinarian this summer, and my experience of handling all kinds of animals and behaviors with unfamiliar people expands every day. I love all animals and getting to spend time with them in any way I can. I currently am only shadowing on Tuesdays and Fridays at an animal hospital, but every other day I am dedicating to showering my own pups with love, and can easily fit in devoted attention to any animal that requires it. I prioritize communication, safety, and your pet's comfort are my highest priorities. I hope to make your time away from home as stress-free as possible and making sure your pet's needs and happiness is of number one importance. As a pre-veterinary student I have a diverse background and knowledge of how to accommodate for every animal's unique needs.

Kelcy was really nice and I can tell she really loves dogs. She was very communicative and has a positive attitude. I had to modify my booking twice and she took care of that right away. I’ve used her for drop in visit twice now and she did a great job both times. I will definitely use her again if I’m ever away.

Maria did drop-in visits for our 5 y.o. cat while we were away for a couple weeks, and she was wonderful! She tended to all of our precious girl’s needs (and she can be very needy), and kept her happy and active while we were out. I’d highly recommend Maria for cat-sitting needs.

Nicole took care of our two kitties for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we are so grateful! She sent updates with pictures every day. She did a great job making sure they had what they needed, including giving one of them his medicine every day and cleaning up when he peed on the floor. She gave them extra attention and was very responsive to my messages. We will definitely have her back next time we go out of town!

About: I've been house sitting/ pet sitting for about 15 years now. My friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to watch their furry, feathered,or scaled babies for long trips out of state/country or for last minute help. I personally have a few different types of animals from cats and dogs to bunnies and my snake and a few chickens. I've also had experience with live stock as well. I'm also looking going to school to be a vet tech as well! I love going on hikes and being outside so if your furry friends like long walks we will fit perfectly together! I hope to get to know and help you and your babies soon! I am available any day of the week and weekends the only time I'm unavailable is Thursday's from 8pm-12pm for karaoke hosting. Other then that I am free! My house/backyard is safe for dogs and I also have crates for dogs but I perfer to stay where they are comfortable and not anxious. The pets tend to have better experiences when I stay at the client's home.

Anna was such a pleasure to meet and have care for our dogs! She was very communicative during her visits and very reliable! She even had to deal with a parking issue when the city was paving our street, requiring her to park around the block and walk to the house. Thank you very much for your help and I will certainly book with her again!

About: I have a 2 year old maltipoo and took care of her when she was a 2 month old puppy going through parvovirus. I will play with and take care of your pet as if it was my own. I’m very careful when out walking and aware of cars and other dogs and I even carry my dog when in large intersections and test the temperature of the pavement to ensure my dog never burns her paws. I will provide daily updates of how your pup is doing along with multiple photos. I offer reliable, devoted and experienced care, with both weekends and weekdays available and I go on walks with my dog at least 3 times per day. At my home, I have a crate area if needed for your pet and I have a spacious inside living space and a fenced in backyard for your pup to play and run. I live in a safe gated community with multiple grassy areas for your pup to relieve themself.

About: I’m a reliable and active pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals and keeping them engaged. I’m consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. Whether your dog needs exercise or your pet just needs company and care, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in being responsible, communicative, and treating every pet like it’s my own. I have a flexible schedule and can consistently make time for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, including weekends. Being active, I enjoy spending time outside with dogs, but I also make sure all pets get the attention, routine, and care they need to stay comfortable and happy. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific care details. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment and never left unattended in unsafe situations. I pay attention to behavior and keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Carly was awesome! Came over a few days in advance to meet the cats and hear the set up for the five days we were gone. We had no worries while we were away with Carly checking in on them and keeping their litter boxes clean and waters stocked. She sent a picture of both of them each check in and was communicative and reliable. Thanks Carly! Would definitely book again 😸😸
