About: I have had animals my entire life. I currently have 2 cats of my own; Binx and Luci. I have 10+ years of dog and cat sitting experience. I am an animal lover and want to take care of your pets so you won’t have to worry! My own cat has medical issues so I am comfortable giving oral medications to pets. I can also do house sitting things like watering plants, getting the mail, etc… I would love to care for your pets! **I am a teacher and have open availability in June and July but my schedule will change come August so I cannot do mid day drops in long term!** I am a teacher and have my summers and breaks off and would love to spend them taking care of your pets! I can also intermittently dog walk or pet sit during the school year. I am incredibly responsible and respectful. I am also a huge animal lover and know how to care for animals. I have a high standard for who takes care of my pets and I promise to deliver the same level of care I would expect for my own pets!
About: From fish to birds, cats to dogs - animals have long been a part of my life. I’ve cared for many types of animals, all at various stages of their life. For me, caring for animals is understanding their personalities and tailoring their care to them. I currently work remotely/at home, making me potentially available during the week for visits, walks, or a watchful eye. Weekends may also be available, on a situational basis. My home has open areas for play or lounging, a fenced in back court area, and walk-able areas around town for fresh air. Within the clients home, I’m open to specific care rules and want to provide a consistent level of care the pet is used to.
“Chloe was great! She was able to come by just two days prior to when I needed her to walk my dog for a meet and greet. I could tell that she had great experience with dogs and felt very confident having her give my dog a potty break when I was going to be out for the day. Her Communication while I was gone was great and I would definitely use her again!”
About: I have 10 years of experience pet-sitting for dogs of different breeds and personalities! I am passionate about providing pups with care, love, enrichment, and respect while their parents are away! Please consider me to take care of your baby while you are away! I primarily work from home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am able to keep your baby company during the day while working and in the evenings. I am serious about keep your pet safe while you are away! Ensuring that their environment remains safe and calm for them to feel as comfortable as possible. I am willing to take your pet out as much as needed.
“She’s so great with our picky pup!”
