“Erin has been great with our kitties Zoey and Tango. She always shows up when she's supposed to and keeps us updated. The kitties really like her too! I would highly recommend her 😊”
About: I have given dogs medicine and have experience with taking extra care of old dogs and puppies whose energy is off the roof. I have one huge dog so I’m also not afraid of pit bulls or mastiff’s and am able to fulfill any requests you have. I have just started summer and go to unm as a art student so I am constantly having free time especially during the summer as my only plans are on Tuesday for counseling and Sunday’s for church. So I have a completely free week Everytime I go to a house I make sure to clean up after myself and to clean up extra just so when you come back it’s even cleaner than you lef!
“Crystal was able to accommodate us for two back to back drop in visit requests in less than 24 hours notice. She communicated clearly & efficiently & the pups took to her quickly. We would highly recommend her services & would book again given the opportunity!”
About: My flexibility, dedication and reasonable pricing. I am very reliable in the workplace, And I am confident that could translate to doing this kind of work. For 14 years, I had a very high maintenance cat, she had several medical conditions including an allergy to fish, pancreatitis and bladder/kidney stones. At one point, she became ill and required tube feeding for a couple of weeks while she recovered, including administering medications, liquid and pill form. If need be, I could go in the morning before work, at lunch time, or in the evening after work. I would be available anytime on the weekends. I'm pretty open to what is needed. Contact me if you have any questions. I no longer have a pet at home, and that is part of what makes this special, as it would give me time to spend with animals again.
“Brandy was great. She was able to come on short notice and even brought her kids to play with my 10-week-old puppy who was stuck in a crate all day. Really appreciate the effort. Will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. Since I was 12, it’s been my responsibility to take care of our English Setter. This began with me helping to train him. My role was to reinforce the lessons taught at the PetSmart classes. I’ve regularly walked, bathed, and taken to the vet our dog as well. I love animals of all kinds and care a lot about giving them the loving attention they deserve. I currently work part time 6 days a week, with Sundays off. I work from home, and regularly have mornings and early afternoons completely available. I have more than enough time for several appointments just about every day of the week. At the moment I do not own any pets, as my landlord does not allow it. I am unable to provide any services that would require my home. But I’ve lived with and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, with great regularly since I was 12. I know what I’m doing when it comes to our furry companions. I’d love to provide walks, visits, and any other services I can.
“Madison was a life saver in taking care of our 3 dogs at the last minute when our travel plans changed. She provided thorough updates and pictures after each of her visits. Thank you!”
About: I have a soft spot for all animals and treat all pets as if they were my own. As someone who grew up around many types of animals since I was a kid, I know how much they mean to us. I make sure they are taken care of and loved! I’m available Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! If other weekdays are needed, i’m available but only for check ins, as I work those days. I do not take pets in my home as I have other animals in the house. I am happy to provide care at the clients home. I do walks, play time, dog parks, etc!
“We are repeat bookers for Jocelynn's dog care services and, once again, she did not disappoint. She was 1000% reliable and showed up every day to care for our dog and she even went above and beyond in taking to account the hot summer weather. We appreciate her immensely and are thankful she was available.”
“Natalie was great with our medically complex cat! She took great care of all of our cats but made sure our epileptic cat got all his meds as needed. She always made sure to check on our hidey cat too. Will be rebooking her!”
“"Kat" B. provided an incredible experience when she took care of my two cats and the house. The cats loved spending time with her, and she followed all the instructions and did extra tasks without being asked. The "Kat" has the special animal magic due to her knowledge and experiences with a diverse population of animals!. I would not hesitate to contact her to take care of your pets. You will be happy with what she can provide for your most important family members. Thank you for all you did Kat, and I look forward to seeing you again.”

“Satara did an awesome job watching my cats. She kept me informed of when she’d be over to take care of them. One of the cats threw up in the kitchen and she kindly cleaned it up. I greatly appreciate Satara’s service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Ginger was great to work with and took wonderful care of our two cats! She was prompt at sending photos and updating us about how our cats were during her visits. Their space was kept clean and managed by Ginger as well. Looking forward to working with her again!”
“Amie not only gives us peace of mind, but ensures all our pups receive their medications, kept us updated on one of our misbehaving pups, she expertly handled a tough situation and kept our pups safe and loved!”
“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”
About: I have had pets ever since I was 3 years old, I am now 20 and have lots of experience with taking care of them. I have also trained my dogs with the basics like, potty training, any tricks, simple house training etc. I am very experienced to take wonderful care of your fur babies and their needs. With my own pets I take care of them morning to night. I am home most of the time so I do spend time with them a lot but when I do leave my house I make sure they went outside before leaving and have plenty of water and food while I am gone. I always walk the dogs, follow any instructions that's given to me for the dogs care, eating habits, wash days, times to go out, and everyday I play with my own dogs keeping them active running around the yard and having plenty of toys. I also tidy up the house, sometimes with our fur babies the house can be a mess with toys all over and them shedding all the time so I can to provide that for you.
“Lucy was awesome with Lola. It was very comforting to me to know that she was home being taken care of while I had to be away. I’ll never use a kennel again after our experience with Lucy! She’s a wonderful young lady, and will definitely contact her again in the future.”

Crystal was absolutely fabulous! Our cat Maxine usually is never seen by cat sitters, but that changed with Crystal. Maxine came out to eat treats, play with her wand toy, and even pose for pictures. Crystal was great at communicating with us. We recommend her highly.

The cats loved spending time with her, and she followed all the instructions and did extra tasks without being asked.

Ceara unfortunately stepped into a lousy situation when she agreed to sit for our 3 cats. We had just had one die from illness and another was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. While the cat had antibiotics on board, she was still not urinating like a healthy cat. The cat is also afraid and anxious, so it was difficult to find her for a picture. We were worried sick, so Ceara asked if she should go back until she found the cat. It was late, so we told her to go next day. She did track down the cat who was obviously alive and scared, but we could at least relax for the duration of our stay away.
