About: I studied to be come a vet assistant at high dessert medical college, where I also took an extern ship with task that included, helping take care of animals for boarding, injured animals, and animals before and after surgeries. I have skill with proper animal care and proper husbandry. I am currently working part time at the blvd so they wonât be alone for more then an 8hour shift and I only work one 8hr shift a week so ill be home most of the time when pets are in my care I will allow pets full access to my room and living room (I do have young siblings in my house so I would keep pets in my room if the kids are being to rough) while taking them on walks during the day and night or as needed Iâll feed them to owner preference along with 24/7 access to plenty of water I do understand I have a small apartment but I live close to a park with a dog area to take them for few hours twice a day while it is fresh outside unless otherwise specified by owner.
âWe just want to thank Barbara for a great job on watching over our pets. She even volunteered to come back to our house to make our cat Sabrina more comfortable. Our pups just loved her and waited for her daily visits.â

âBreanna was great with my Millie dog. I was very apprehensive to book drop-in doggy visits because my Millie dog can be protective and not welcoming to anyone new in her yard and house. Breanna let Millie warm up to her on Millie's terms and Breanna even brought some of her doggies to play with Millie, with permission of course. I will definitely book drop-in visits with Breanna again for Millie. Thank you Breanna, you have made this stressful situation for us seamless and uneventful. Millie looks forward to having you stop by again especially if you bring one of your doggies to play.â

âSteve is amazing! He was thorough, on time, and went above and beyond by cleaning up and dealing with a malfunctioning automatic litter box. My cats seemed happy and healthy when I got back from my trip.â
âCrystal was great! I travelled for a while and she visited my cats. She great at contacting me, sending pics, placing food, water and petting them. Came back after several days and they seem very happy ? thanks Crystalâ

âJeanette is local to me and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. We have cameras so I was able to track her visits and watch her spend time with the dogs. Our agreement was to just feed my 2 dogs twice a day, but she went above and beyond. She brought my mail and packages into my garage and spent time playing with our German Shepherd and Beagle. She was "on Task" and on time every day. I would definitely use her again.â
About: Hi! Iâm a 26 year old animal lover with a 4 year old shitzhu Maltese mix. We love to go to the dog park and get pup cups from starbucks I have been caring for dogs and cats for 13 years and look forward to meeting your furry friends! I work 7-3:30 4 days a week but on my days off Iâm free the entire day. If Iâm pet sitting multiple photos and updates will be sent every single day! All pets will be taking out on a leash for potty breaks and watched intensely to ensure safety at all times. I have a 4 year old Maltese who gets along with other animals but if needed I can always separate your pet as my place has 2 stories.

âSuper friendly, I like that we did a meet and greet before hand that way our dogs get a sense and they loved you. Thank you so much for coming and taking care of our fur babies.â

âAdrienna took care of my pups while I was away on vacation. She handled my two large breed dogs with ease. She provided regular updates on my dogs, including lots of photos and videos. My dogs had a blast with Adrienna and they were safe and in good hands while I was gone. Will definitely book again.â

About: What makes me different about other sitters is I took the class for veterinarian and also grooming I have the certificate also I have experience in general I just love dogs a lot I will do morning and night what work with u work with me I just canât wait to be working with your pets and make them safe Well, how do I care for my pets? I give them food water walk him take them to parks. Give her love and attention take her to the vet
About: I grew up in my grandfathers veterinarian clinic and walked,played, and fed all the animals. Iâve watched them take care of them since I was little and hope to be a veterinarian myself one day. Since then, Iâve dog sat and been a walker for friends and family countless times. I have two dogs myself and love taking them on walks and playing with them. Over the summer I house sat some dogs for two weeks, and since then worked at a local barn where I took care of horses and a cat every Sunday. I love animals so much and your animal would get so much love and playtime with me. I am still a student-athlete so my hours vary a lot! However, if you reach out to me I can garuntee I have time before school, after practice and over the weekends! Hence the reason my service is drop ins and walks because I am unable to stay overnight. But, that doesnât mean I will not stay and play, and feed the animals as necessary. I can stay up to 45 minutes playing and hanging out with the dog. I would need to talk to and get to know you and your dog if they were to stay in my home with me, I have two very friendly dogs but I need to make sure both would be okay together. I am unsure about having a cat in my home since my dogs donât interact with them. But I have a fenced big backyard with a doggy door and have a pool, my dogs have not fallen in but if youâre dog tends to or doesnât know how to swim we could crate them.
About: Growing up, I had two dogs starting at age 10, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior and needs. I learned how to train them, manage their energy levels, and ensure they were well-socialized. Since moving out on my own at 18, I've continued my passion for pet care by having one dog and one cat. This experience has allowed me to develop skills in caring for multiple types of pets, including feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always ensure that my home is a secure environment, free from hazards, and Iâm vigilant during walks to keep them safe from traffic and other dangers. Iâm comfortable with daily walks, playtime, and administering any necessary medications while keeping a close eye on their well-being. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your pets, ensuring they feel at home while youâre away. I currently work a full time job. However Im still available every weekend , weekday and holidays for walks , check ins and more ! I always ensure that my home is secure, checking for any potential hazards like open windows, toxic plants, or small objects they could swallow. I keep cleaning supplies and other harmful substances out of reach. When it comes to playtime, I use safe toys and supervise their play to prevent any accidents. I also make sure to provide a safe space for them to retreat to, especially if they feel stressed or overwhelmed. During walks or outdoor time, Iâm very cautious about their surroundings, ensuring they are kept on a leash if necessary, and I monitor them closely at all times. Iâm experienced in administering medications and keeping track of their health, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a loving and secure environment for your pet, making sure they feel safe and happy while youâre away.
ââď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Whitney was fantastic! Super attentive and friendlyâshe kept me updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was seamless, and it was clear she really cared about making sure the pups were comfortable and happy. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!â
