I booked Hannah after my neighbors recommended her services. She took just as much care and attention with my cats as she does with their dog. She took initiative to brush my heavily shedding orange tabby, and even vacuumed after. She also cleaned up some cat barf (sorry Hannah & thank you!). I highly recommend her services. She clearly loves animals and wants to ensure they’re happy and healthy.

About: Ive cared for all different kinds of furry friends, big, small, young and elderly. Each one needed a little different and unique kind of love, but figuring out what make they happy and exhausted is my favorite part. From high energy breeds to cuddly couch potatoes, I enjoy spending time getting to know every single pet the best I can. I primarily work weekends, so I have lots of free time during to week to check on and play with youre doggos. I have limited availability on weekends, but can sometimes work visits in. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe and loved in their own environments. Each pet has a different routine, whether it's feeding, walking, play time, or taking medication it's important to stay consistent in order to help them feel relaxed. Sometimes dogs can play all day, it's important to take into consideration their health and well being, so even if they still want to keep playing they might need to take a little break sometimes.

About: Let me take your dog on some great adventures, now that the sun is coming back out, that means long walks, dog parks and hikes! I'll feed and play with your pets per your instructions, cats included. I have four cats and a chihuahua, and I grew up with three large breed dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well. Expert animal attendant, great petting skills. Willing to assist with grooming needs, including cleaning litter boxes, if necessary. Reliable transportation, defensive driver. Will spoil with dog or cat treats, as well as cat nip. Pet bathing is also something I am willing to do, dogs or cats, I'm not afraid of being scratched. Animal related chores are also included in my skill set. I’ve had my cat, Arya, since 2017, and her care and needs are taken care of first, every day. I feed her, clear her dishes weekly, brush her and play with her favorite laser toy. I always connect with my client, and see if they have any specific requests for their pets, be that general care, walking needs, special feeding requirements. I want their pet to have as close to a regular day as possible. If it’s simply stop by and check, I’ll make sure to check all their dishes, clean as needed, and feed before I leave.

Shadae was very communicative and attentive to mine and Odessa’s needs. I could feel the love she has for her own pets carry over into her care for Odessa. She went the extra mile to ensure Odessa was comfortable. This was the longest I had been away from my pup and I could NOT have asked for a better person to watch over her. 1000/10

About: I am a dedicated dog lover and sitter. I provide personalized care for each dog, focusing on their unique needs. With a bit of experience and local knowledge, I ensure a safe and fun environment. I treat every dog like my own, providing regular updates and love while you’re away. I am currently working part time, and would love to fill the rest of the time with my other passion of pet sitting for the community. I make sure pets have their needs and time such as food, exercise, grooming, and training. My dogs and cats at home are very loving and I think the main reason is for the attention I spend with each one.

About: I’ve always grown up with some type of pet being included in the family. In the past I have Owned large & small dogs including some with separation anxiety so I would say I’m decently experienced in caring for animals. My love for animals is extremely large & I’d love the chance to utilize my free time caring for your animals while you temporarily are out of range. Animals are very important & sometimes life can get a little chaotic unexpectedly And you may need an extra hand.. that’s where I come in! I’m fun,loving,caring,patient& understanding. I’m full of energy & spontaneous so play time /walks will be no issue at all. I’m hoping to find a family that will love me and need me regularly to care for their pet(s) I have plenty of lint brushes so hair is no issue at all either! Hope to hear from you soon! I work through out the week but still have plenty of time to take care of & play with all the pets through out the week & weekend I have a big yard for your pups to play in & no animals of my own so the attention is endless for you babies
