8. Regan K.
“Regan went way beyond normal customer service by alarming us immediately that something was wrong with our furnace. The most important thing. though is how much she cared and loved our two precious kittens . She dropped in every day and made sure they received playtime with her, cleaned litter, replaced food and water. She captured beautiful photos and we couldn't wait to receive them. There is no question that Regan is our "go-to love sitter" in the future.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. I would take my neighbors dogs on walks around the neighborhood multiple times a day. I would also feed and play with them. I am currently flexible with hours and could work anytime you need me to. I plan on going to college this summer, but it's online so I can work around it when that time comes. I will follow the owners requests and always keep an eye on your pets. I can make sure their fenced in, on a leash, and always watched.I will make sure they are safe and cared for. I understand that this job is important to pet owners and I want them to know that they can trust me with their pets. 🙂

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for my friends, family, and neighbors for over three years! I have experience with senior dogs, rescue dogs getting used to a new environment, and pups who have attachment anxiety to their owners. I also have experience giving medications for both cats and dogs. I am a firm believer in great communication, and always make sure to send plenty of pics of your furry friends if you request them. Your feline and canine companions are part of your family, so rest assured, I’ll treat them that way. My availability for pet care is mainly on nights and weekends, so I’ll be available to look after your furry friend if you’re headed away on a weekend trip or just out for the night. When it comes to watching pets, I believe that keeping them in a comfortable environment is key. While I’m looking after your dog, I’m more than happy to take them on walks, play in the backyard, or have a snuggle session. Rest assured, I will provide the best care possible for your pet, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy until you get home!
