Highly recommend Christa. She had to give an unexpected medication and also adjusted the feeding based on how our cats were eating during the week we booked her. She went out of her way to make sure they were safe and happy and we are looking forward to booking her again.

About: I've taken care of bunnies, parrots, chickens, dogs, cats, and turtles. I will always make sure that your pet is well cared for and loved. I’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of free time to watch your pets, play with them, walk them, and feed them. They will be well cared for. I have a small part of my yard fenced but there’s plenty of space for your pets to run around. I have a 4 chickens that roam around but I will lock them up if needed and I have a small senior dog.

Also anytime on the weekend :) l have 4 dogs of my own that l watch often, families dogs, friends dogs when they go out of town. l have lots of experience with different age and sizes of dogs. l definitely am an animal lover. l love how energetic puppies are and how lazy older dogs can be. l love to watch dogs play together, that’s probably my favorite thing about my dogs. l also love when my dogs cuddle and sleep with me, it’s so comforting to have that.

I take safety and trust with pups seriously, I want them to feel as safe & comfortable as possible while you are away or I am just walking them - it’s their world and I’m here to do whatever I can to make it better!

About: I have been taking care of pets most of my life. I’m experienced with all ages of dogs and I am comfortable with any type of medication or special routines your pets may have and can keep their walking, feeding, playing schedules as close to what they are accustomed to as possible. I particularly enjoy spending time with animals as they are a gift to be cherished. I am a retired school teacher. My schedule is open. I can usually visit anytime you need someone to care for your pets. I am flexible with routines and willing to make changes anytime during your trip if you request adjustments. I am excellent with schedules and details for instructions you have while caring for pets in your home. I am very careful about safety for your pets and about respecting the boundaries you establish for services.

About: Hi! I began dog sitting in college as a way to make extra money on the side, but now it’s really become a lifestyle. I really do e joy being around our furry friends and giving the the utmost respect and treatment. I understand that having a pet is another member of the family, and they must be treated that way.. I can’t wait to meet my next friend! As a student pilot my days consist of training and studies, can provide care at all hours of the day. Can work weekends, and around job times. Very flexible. Like I mentioned above, I love animals. Animals should be treated respectfully, carefully, and with love. They are really special creatures so I plan to treat them that way.

Well guess what, I can guarantee that your pet will be left in safe, loving arms.

About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.

Sofie did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs. Theo our one year-old Chihuahua and Sophie our 12-year-old Pomeranian. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries that she was giving them love and attention. She communicated daily and kept us up-to-date on her visits. We would highly recommend sofie and plan on asking her to watch our dogs again in June.
