16. Grace G.
About: I have been the go to dog sitter in my area, I have stayed places for weeks or just a few days! I have worked with all sorts of dogs big and small, and all sorts of breeds! I usually spend the night in most places, but also have just stopped by for food and potty breaks! My phone contacts have doubled since becoming a dog sitter and would love to add more! I’m only working one day a week right now and have a lot of availability. I am fully open everyday besides my one day off! I loveeeee instructions! They make things easier for me, you and the dog! Feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, sleeping set up. I love to know as much as I can so everything runs smoothly!! I love going on walks, cuddling, taking them in the car(if they like it) or whatever you usually do with your pet!

20. Jazmin T.
About: I have grown up with a house full of animals, including chickens! 6 or more dogs and cats! Even rabbits and ducks and geckos! I have alot of experience with multiple animals and multiple complicated steps to take care of them! I often volunteer at our animal shelter in my free time. I live with a house full of animals so every day I have a routine of managing them, getting them fed. I have experience keeping some of them separate during feeding. Im responsible in my house for keeping them clean and their nails trimmed. I work hard every day to give them all the attention they need! I can crate a dog if needed and separate if there is food aggression or if they need to be kept away from other animals in general. I’m very use to handling dogs that need to be kept apart.
