About: With 6+ years of animal care I promise to be able to fulfill any animal need that you might require. My focus is mostly on dogs and cats, old and young, but I have worked with smaller animals such as hamsters and birds. I’m a remote worker so anytime of day I’m available! it would make my day to be able to help a furry friend. I work remote as a writer and usually get my work done in the first two hours of the day. That gives me a lot of flexibility to work with other schedules I have two cats, and they are treated like children. Anything that they want they get and their health is top priority. They fed the best food that is veterinarian recommended, all the play times and love they need, and are treated as family.
About: I've loved animals from a young age, especially dogs and horses. I took care of my and my neighbor's dogs growing up. I graduate medical school in May and have enjoyed having a cat the last few years. I miss having a dog and have recently been volunteering at the Humane Society. I'm most familiar with dogs and cats but years ago helped a friend who would nurse injured wild birds and squirrels and re-release them into the wild. So I'm open to anything! I'm graduating medical school as a physician in May. I'm looking to 1) make some extra cash and 2) do it doing something I love. I wanted to be a vet as a kid and miss not having more pets around. I'm most familiar with cats and dogs but love all animals and am eager to learn. I'm good at reading animals and am the guy who always asks to pet everyone's dogs out in public. I'm a medical student so professionalism is very important to me. Pets are like family and I take the responsibility of their care very seriously. My previous experiences speak to my commitment giving your pet the best experience while you're away.
About: I grew up with dogs and small animals, and I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, including comforting a big dog scared of storms and giving medications to cranky senior animals. I have two cats and a 9-yr-old chinchilla with big personalities. I know pets are our family members, and I look forward to caring for yours! Available for drop-ins and walks in the evenings and weekends. I live in River Market and work in midtown, so I can be available for some morning or lunchtime needs in those areas. I can house-sit nearby, too. Im very respectful and love detailed instructions. I’ve owned feisty, picky pets, so I’m happy to do whatever your animals need! I know it can be stressful having someone else come into your home and care for your pets, so I’ll take every measure to make sure you and your animals are comfortable
“Took great care of Hamai and is flexible! Fast communication which I appreciate. Ty Regan!”
About: I have fostered over 30 dogs for various shelters and have had my share of pets while doing so. I have been in other people's homes while watching their fur children trying to be there and working on training using games like fetch, or find it. I currently work at a doggy daycare and am currently doing online courses for canine behavior and training. I do have three years on my own with dog training and a total of 9 years dog training with shelters I try not disrupt their schedule while pet parents are gone. Dogs need a routine but when parents go on vacation or business trip, they will need a loving distraction until they get home

I bring lots of energy, so if your fur babies need lots of play time and/or exercise, I am your person!
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life and an owner for 10 years. I absolutely adored our family dog and loved playing with him and taking him on long walks. My current work schedule, as a nurse working long shifts, does not allow me to provide the best possible home for my own dog but I would love to spend my free time taking care of yours! I enjoy living an active lifestyle, including long walks with my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, spending time outdoors, and reading. On my days off I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to visit when it works best for your pets. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about my experience with pet care! I am available weekends and Wednesdays to care for your loved ones! I am also available some evenings after 6:00pm. If you have any questions about my availability please reach out!

About: I have always had animals in my household and am an animal lover. I have taken care of dogs and cats of all different mixes and breeds for 13+ years.

She is a picky eater and has her preferences in how she likes things done and Charlie was always patient with her.

“Maggie is the best!! We needed someone to watch our skittish and shy Australian Shepherd on short notice and we had to be gone for 2 weeks. She not only took care of the dog, but our house too! We had several deliveries that were going to be made while we were gone, and Maggie was able to stay at our house and not only deal with the dog, but the house too! It was such a peace of mind. She was in constant contact with us - letting us know when deliveries were made or just sending us cute pictures of the dog. If you need someone who is attentive that can take care of your pets or even your house - Maggie is perfect! She has a very calm presence, and our dog was completely relaxed around her. We just can't say enough good things about Maggie, and we would absolutely recommend her!”
