We can not explain how good it feels to come home after Bradlei watched our dogs. How house was spotless, dogs were SO happy, and the most beautiful gift basket/photos left behind. Incredible!! Thank you Bradlei!

Alison was great to work with. We appreciated her flexibility with our schedule, was very responsive and sent pics of our fur baby. Everything was neat and in order when we got back home and Keke looked very happy. We will definitely use Alison for future bookings.

We got so many photo updates! Sarah did a great job communicating her schedule and our dogs care throughout the week we were gone. She also left the home cleaner than it was when we left. We are repeat customers and will continue to come back :)

About: Hi my name is Asia. I’m really excited to have extra income but I’m more in it for the loving animals. Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets to care for. I have two bearded dragons, two cats, one dog, and one fish. In the mornings I go to the gym and after I’m pretty much open throughout the day until school starts, which is in the beginning of January. Feeding and watering animals,Playing with them and keeping them company, Walking the dogs, Grooming and brushing the animals' coats, Changing the cat's litter box, Providing health care if necessary. Giving them affection, so they don't feel abandoned after their owner leaves.

About: I’ve raised and taken care of cats and dogs since I was a little kid. Since high school, I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends and family. I’ve also spent a few years now fostering cats and the occasional dog. Through and through, I am a genuine animal lover! I downloaded this app as a way to create a pet savings for my pet babies. I have a young dog, Rue, who is OBSESSED with dogs. She’s great at matching energy. If your dog loves to play, she’ll play with them. If your dog wants to be left alone, she’ll leave them alone. She speaks dog really well and is great at respecting another dog or cat’s limitation. I have three kittens who love to play and two super senior cats. My girl Kaylee is 21 yrs old. I’ve had her since she was a kitten. I also have a 18yr old boy, Marcus. They’ll both still thriving. I have a two bedroom apartment so our second room is for them to play. I have six cat towers. I’m more than happy to board cats. If they need to be separated from my cats, I have a cat room they’ll love! The room was designed for our foster cats.

Emily was great! She stayed at our house for 5 nights, watching our 10 year old great Pyrenees. She was available to house sit with only a week's notice, which we are very grateful for. She had good communication on giving me updates and also very timely whenever I reached out. I had genuine peace of mind while we were out of state. House was just as clean as, maybe even cleaner than, when we left it, huge relief after our long day of flying. We came home to our happy sleeping dog! Our dog just required morning/evening feeding and morning/afternoon/evening potty breaks at a minimum, and Emily definitely put in more than the bare minimum. She gave our dog all the extra weather permitting outside play time and inside loves that I would have given my dog if I was home, so we are very happy with Emily! Definitely would rebook! Thank you Emily!

Jennifer stayed with our Lab mix Hazel for the last week and we were so happy with how things went! Hazel got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and love! She stayed in touch with us several times a day and sent pictures?. Not only did Jennifer take wonderful care of Hazel, but also took care of the mail, garbage, and pet hair - it all made our trip that much more enjoyable! We can’t wait for Jennifer to come back for our next trip!

About: I have had my own two dogs and also have cared for friends' pets including walking, feeding, and administering medication. I have also stayed overnight to care for pets. I help care for my elderly parents so my schedule is mostly flexible. I am at church Saturday evenings from about 4-7 so I am unavailable then. I am patient with pets and upon meeting them I let them see for themselves that they can trust me by sniffing me or whatever they need to do. With my own dog I always make sure he is safe and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages for more than 9 years, pets of my neighbors, friends and my own pets, I consider that they need the best care in the world as they give everything for us being our companions on this journey that is life, talking a little about my experience, I have taken care of small and large pets to bathe and feed them and walk them, I have training in the face of any altercation on the street. Being something that I like to do since before coming to this country is something that I want to dedicate myself to for an indeterminate time. I have a fenced yard and at the moment I don't have small children, so all the attention will be focused on pets for as long as they need it.

About: I’ve had many pets growing up and although i’m getting paid while sitting, It’s more than the money to me. It’s about the experience too. I work part-time and i’m usually always home. I also love being active so I’ll always look for things to do with whoever i’m sitting. I have a fenced yard, I will follow a strict schedule if asked, and i’m very familiar with places to take the pets if possible.

About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs who had trouble seeing and walking, cleaned up after them, and handled puppies as young as 1 week old. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, so no pet is too small or too big for me. I work part time so my availability changes week to week depending on my shifts, but I always know my schedule in advance so I’ll be upfront with you about when I’m available before we book anything. Pet care is something I take seriously so I make sure I’m not overcommitting if I say I’m available, I mean it. On days I’m not working I’m pretty much free for most of the day. Morning and evening availability is usually the most consistent for me regardless of whether I have a shift. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if anything changes and I’m not the type to leave you hanging last minute. I care for my own cat Simba daily, keeping him engaged and comfortable, the same attention and energy I’ll bring to your pet. In your home I’ll handle feeding, playtime, cleaning up any messes, and anything else your pet needs.

About: I have had pets of all kinds since I was a child. Often friends and family ask me to pet sit. They know their house and pets are in good hands, and that I will care for them as if they are my own. I just love animals. I work for myself in my own business so I have a pretty flexible schedule depending on how I need to schedule life and clients. I usually ask for pet owners to leave me instructions so that I can care for their pets the way they need me to, and to also provide any emergency numbers for vets and neighbors in case of emergencies. I give them lots of cuddles and attention. I love to walk so dogs will definitely get their exercise. I am very cautious with their paws in hot weather and rainy or cold weather too. I would definitely take good care of them.

I was very nervous leaving my pet behind on vacation but Lucy was always in good hands with Alli. She went above and beyond. We can't thank her enough. Lucy now has a new friend. I would rate her 100 on a scale from 1 to 10.
