About: I love animals, dogs especially! My dogs are part of our family and my home is theirs as much as it is mine, to include having them warm, cozy, and comfortable (furniture and beds). They get plenty of TLC and safe living conditions. I am completely comfortable with giving medications and treatments. I have a clean home and can provide them with toys and lots of activities including playtime with my dogs. We are always up for a car ride or neighborhood walk weather permitting. Always a lap to lay in, hands free to rub a belly or scratch an ear, or just a cheek ready to be slobbered on with a wet kiss. I LOVE furbabies! I only work part time so I am home alot, they aren’t left alone very often. I live in a great neighborhood for taking walks. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own with a large fenced in backyard. I also have a large crate to use if needed.

Angie was the best pet sitter we could have ever asked for! She gave several updates a day on our dog and three cats. She also sent many pictures to reassure us that our fur babies were in good hands. This was the first time we left our anxious dog with someone other than my father-in-law, but our pup seemed to warm up to Angie quickly and I knew she was getting the best care! We thought we might need her for an additional night on top of the 5 she already did, and Angie immediately said she would be happy to do it. She left our house clean. We 100% recommend Angie and will definitely be using her again in the future!

About: I have had dogs, cats and other pets for my entire life. I've also spent years volunteering and working with animal rescue societies and shelters. Most importantly I just love pets. I am a full time student, mostly from home. I am home focusing on pet care for the majority of every day. Making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need is my primary focus every day. I have a very walkable neighborhood and plenty of time for as many walks are needed throughout the day. My dog Clover and cat Penny are both very friendly with other animals and also both spayed.

About: I'm just honest. There's no bullshit here, just a guy who likes dogs and wants a job working with em. I've applied at HELP the Animals, as well. We'll see if they accept my application. I take my brother to school every morning before 8, any time after that, call me/text me and we can work out a time you need your dog taken out/played with/watched while you're not there. I do it all, except for taking them to my house, as it is not pet-friendly. I would like detailed instructions, including hour-by-hour time charts if possible. If you have your dog on a medicine, please notify me and we can set a dosing schedule that fits their needs. Baths and whatnot are fun, so don't be afraid to ask me to give them one. If there are any allergies, such as various types of insects or clothing your dog reacts negatively to, let me know as well and I can accommodate.

Ashley did a great job taking care of Lilli while we were out of town. We had no worries that Lilli was in good hands which allowed us to enjoy our mini vacation. She also kept the house picked up. Have already scheduled her for May!

Maura was a wonderful house/animal sitter. She gave us updates with pictures throughout our weeklong vacation & left our home in pristine condition. It’s always hard to leave your “babies” behind but having Maura there really gave us a sense of relief. We would highly recommend her and have already booked with her again!

About: I have had at least 4 dogs in my personal household since I was about 5 years old, so I love to be around and engage with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have also previously worked at a dog boarding institution for about 2 years before I left for college. At this previous job I was given the responsibility to make sure all dogs were fed, medicated (if needed), bathed, watered, and let outside an appropriate amount of times throughout the day. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. I love starting or ending my day with a walk or drop-in visit, and weekends are wide open for house sitting or longer stays. My schedule is steady and reliable, so you’ll always know exactly when your pet will get attention! I will be keeping an eye on your pups at all times to ensure their safety because all dogs will be treated just as I would treat my own.

About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!

Jarrod was a fantastic dog sitter for our 3 pups while we were gone for the weekend! He is very friendly and easy to work with. During his stay, the dogs got plenty of attention and walks; we got plenty of pictures and updates. One of our dogs can be untrusting of strangers, but he quickly warmed up to Jarrod. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for top quality services.

I give Ben an A++. I couldn’t have asked for a better new buddy and caregiver for my fur babies. Ben’s calm and welcoming presence is exactly what my dog needed while I was away. I feel so much better knowing they are just as cared for and loved as when I am home.

Evie loved our girls as if they were her own. She sent lots of pics and videos and we could tell our girls were so very happy in her care. One of our pups was a new rescue and is extremely timid, anxious, and afraid and Evie made her feel safe and we came home to her feeling safe which was such a blessing. Our home was in perfect shape when we returned Would highly recommend Evie to take care of your pets - she’s fantastic!
