1. Shelby Ann P.

“Shelby has taken care of my dog Rumpy when I go away for vacation. She has done a wonderful job with him and has gone above and beyond in his care. It clearly showed that she cared for the well-being and happiness of him when I was away. He hates it when I leave and will actually sulk if I am not home. But from the videos she sent me he was having a lot of fun with her which I was so happy about. She made sure to keep me updated on his well-being even when I didn’t ask. I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for my pup.”

17. Kelly K.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I currently have a chocolate lab who I took through two rounds of AKC good citizen training. I love working with animals & bringing out the best in them. I currently work remotely so I am available throughout the week if your house has a strong wi-fi connection that will allow me to work from your place while petsitting. Otherwise I am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day. I have a dog that lives in my house & sleeps in my bed. We have a fenced in yard but she gets 3 walks & some fetch training every day. Additionally, we often go to Pandapas to hike the trails.


18. Jacqueline C.

I ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given bathroom breaks daily. I administer medications and provide grooming as needed. Weekly, I walk dogs, conduct training sessions when requested, and provide overnight or extended care. Communication with pet owners is a priority, and I remain flexible to accommodate special requests or changes. Pet care is not just a job, but a passion and lifestyle dedicated to the well-being and happiness of pets. I provide care for pets both in my own home and in my clients' homes. In my own home, I ensure that pets have a comfortable and safe environment. This includes providing them with their own space, such as a designated area or room, where they can rest and relax. I also make sure they have access to food, water, and toys to keep them entertained. Regular exercise and playtime are important to keep pets happy and healthy, so I make sure to engage them in activities they enjoy. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions and routines to maintain familiarity and minimize stress for the pets. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, administering any necessary medications, and providing them with companionship and attention. I make sure to keep their living spaces clean and tidy, including regularly cleaning litter boxes, cages, or any other designated areas. In both settings, I prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets. This involves monitoring their behavior and health, and promptly addressing any issues or concerns. I also maintain open and regular communication with the pet owners, providing updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any special requirements or requests they may have. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and comfortable environment for pets, whether it is in my own home or in the homes of my clients.
