About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I'm a pet sitter with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have been caring for pets for several years, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your furry friends while you're away. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I always treat them with the respect and care they deserve. I am reliable, responsible, and always go the extra mile to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy while in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I am a Registered Nurse who works night shift three days a week so I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I'm sure we will be able to work out a time for both of us. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, following special dietary requirements, and handling any other specific needs your pet may have. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your pet and ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I often cared for the pets of the families for whom I nannied, in addition to pet sitting in general. I’m an avid runner and like to walk a lot, so it’s a plus if your dog also likes that. I work from home, and occasionally travel for business. I’m also available depending on your location to stop by to take your dog out or for a walk or to feed them. Your dog can have free range of my townhouse, as long as they’re house trained. Since I work from home, I’ll be there to keep them company. My brother visits here and there and brings his dog who is extremely friendly and loves everyone he meets.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and enjoy caring for them and any other type of animal that is needing cared for. I want to make them as comfortable as possible while you are away getting some much needed rest and relaxation. I am a nurse so do not mind if the animal requires extra special care or attention. I can also provide care in my home. I have my own dog (goldendoodle) and 4 kids who are all animal lovers as well. I currently have a full time job but consists of frequent work from home days. I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I treat the pet like it is my own and will follow all routines. I love going on walks so will take your pet if that is something they like.
About: Ive had dogs from puppies to seniors my whole life! I understand the differences in care from pup to senior pups and I am ready to follow your instructions to a T! I can bathe and brush your pups, take them for walks and play as much as they like. Even if you just need me to stop by and take them out to go potty I’m your girl! I currently work full time at the hospital and am doing this not only because I love animals but because all the money I earn will be going towards my wedding in September! My pets come first in my life and if my schedule is open then so will yours! I have 3 cats at home, a 10 gallon tank with guppies and a dwarf frog and I just added on a 40 gallon tank with 3 hermit crabs and we are adding a bearded dragon to the family soon too. I not only work with cats and dogs I’m also available for exotics as well. Unless they are fish, crustaceans or amphibians, I cannot take cats or dogs overnight due to my animals. But I am available to offer drop ins where I will feed, water, pet, play with, and walk your animals if needed! I can bathe them too if that’s what you may need.

“Lindsey, her husband Bobby and the whole family from the meet and greet on were wonderful.
