10. Juliette C.
About: I have had a lot of experience caring for all kinds of pets. My family used to have a variety of smaller animals including fish, hamsters, rats, chinchillas, and rabbits. But I've always helped take care of my grandparents and some of my neighbors' dogs and cats. And now my family has a very rowdy 70-pound Coonhound. If I can handle him, I'm sure I can handle anything your pet tries to throw at me! I'm currently self-employed so I have a very adaptable schedule. I can pretty much be available whenever or wherever I'm needed. I am available during the workday, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and even can do night visits if needed. I can provide any kind of care you need for your pet. Walks, feedings, baths, playtime, etc. If you hire me, my only goal is to help keep your pet happy and healthy.
11. Abbigail C.
“Couldn’t suggest Abbi enough to pet sit or walk your fur babies! Abbi has helped immensely with making sure my dogs are walked, fed, and my senior pooch gets her insulin shots in a timely manner. She loves my dogs as though they were her own and does everything she can to make them happy, healthy, and comfortable when I’m away or working long hours. Wish I could take her with us when we move.”
12. Kaylie L.
About: I am a college student who is free during the day and weekends! I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality, preferences, and needs. My experience includes training puppies, providing senior pet care, and administering medications when necessary. I prioritize safety and comfort, ensuring a stress-free environment. Additionally, I offer regular updates to owners, so they always know how their pet is doing. I am a college student with online classes and free every weekend! I have a dog of my own so no need to worry about you dog not getting enough love and cuddles around here! I do live in an apartment but we have a fenced dog area and I take my dog on walks every day and/or the dog park to get those “zoomies” out and have plenty interactions and exercise in!
13. Cindy H.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to find loving, quality care for your little one! I also understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your guy or gal in the care of someone else. I’ll work with you to customize care, companionship, and communication to make sure both you and your furry friend feel completely at ease! I am experienced with older and younger animals, medication administration and special needs animals. For all services - drop ins, house sitting and dog walking services - you can look forward to regular updates, and pictures while your little one looks forward to playtime, massages, and snuggles! I’ll take care of your little one as if they are my own. Unfortunately, I no longer offer boarding services. One of my guys is getting older, is easily injured and a bit impatient! :) I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. Unfortunately, I no longer offer boarding services due to the needs of my older dog Giggs. He gets stressed easily and has knee and back issues from time to time.
