Crystal did an amazing job taking care of my senior cats, she took time to build trust and gave one his daily medicine. We'd reccommend her to another pet parent for sure! Thank you Crystal!

About: I admit it: I'm a cat person at heart! I grew up with Buster & Myopia, then Giggles & Grins and loved them for 15-20 years each <3  Now my "family" includes puppies galore and I wouldn't have it any other way! My 20s and 30s have proved to be too chaotic to have a puppy of my own, but I cannot get enough of family and friends' dogs that I'm lucky enough to play with, care for, and train :) I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to walk, run, and play! Similarly, bed and wake-up times are flexible and I can accommodate early risers and night owls. I see myself as a babysitter, ready to follow/implement the rules and preferences of the parents. I like to practice light-touch training and give animals free reign in my first floor unit of a two family house.

About: I got my certification in dog grooming from Animal Behavior college, and have been grooming for about 2 years. I try to keep my clients pups on their same daily rutine. I have good sized yard that is partially fenced in, so I keep dogs on a long leash while roaming outside. I do not leave them alone out side in the yard. Along with walks, the dog park is also something I can do if requested. My schedule is flexible and I work with my clients when it comes to scheduling. If you have a special request, please ask. I am accommodating and will do my best to make it work for you and your pup! Hope to hear from you and our furry friends soon!

About: Hi! I grew up with a dog and have always had animals around, so caring for pets feels very natural to me. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule, which means I’m home most of the day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets frequent attention, timely walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just before or after work. My flexibility also makes it easy to adapt to your pet’s routine and needs, whether that’s multiple walks, medication timing, or extra play and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I’m very mindful about following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean and secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I’m attentive to doors, food safety, and overall comfort, and I always prioritize a pet’s well-being. I also communicate regularly and send updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

Matt took care of my two cats while I was gone for a week. He is great with them and both cats love seeing him when he stops by. He is always very responsive which takes all the stress out of being away. This is the second time he has taken care of them and I definitely plan to keep booking with him in the future!

Jacquelyn did a great job taking care of my kitten on his first time alone. She followed all instructions exactly, kept in contact with any changes, and took great photos of him playing with her. It was such a relief to know he was safe and happy with her while we were gone.

About: I have a flexible schedule and will be able to give your pet lots of attention! I love all animals (big and small) and love to keep them happy and healthy. I enjoy taking them on walks or runs, but I am also up for sitting and cuddling with them on the couch for some relaxation time. I am open to all breeds! I have spent time with all kinds of pets, including shelter dogs, dogs with anxiety, and senior dogs. It helps me to know your dog/ cat's usual routine and if there are any habits or specific needs I should be aware of! I work remotely, so I have a lot of availability to give your pet the most attention and care they deserve while you are away. I am will make sure you pet is kept safe, happy, healthy and well cared for while you are away. Please me know as much information on how to care for your pet as possible!

About: I've loved 3 dogs well into their old age over the last decade. I have always had a love for animals and have been blessed to be able to care for so many over the years. I understand how hard it is to leave them behind while on vacation, or worry about them while you're at work. I would feel better knowing someone like me was around to care for my friends when I'm not. Cash discount! I work from home Mondays and Fridays and am free on the weekends. I also only work until 3pm. This schedule leaves me plenty of time to care for my own fur friend, and yours! I have a modestly sized apartment that is very welcoming to furry pets. There's lots of grassy space for sniffing around outside and long walks.

About: It would be an honor to care for your babies while you are vacationing, working or visiting family! I’m a vet tech and with me as a part of your team, you would have no need to stress. I am very skilled in medication administration, behavior, mental and physical stimulation, and of course I’ve been told that my petting skills are top tier. Let your pets be the judge! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to help! Message me to talk about scheduling if you are interested thank you I myself have 4 dogs at my families home, so I will be traveling to clients homes. Safety is key when it comes to working with animals. A leash and collar will always be worn when outside, as environments can be unpredictable. I will not be allowing random animals to play with my clients babies, as my job is to protect the safety and well being of the animal under my care. Medications will always be administered with efficacy and on schedule. Clients will never have to worry if their pet is getting the proper care when I am pet sitting!

About: I will take your dog on longer walks such as hiking or going to the beach where they will get lots of exercise and/or socialization if needed. You won’t have to worry if your furry companion is lonely or bored when they are in my care! I love getting to know each individual dog and will cater to their specific needs. I have previous experience house sitting, dog walking, and making drop-in visits from my own business I started. I have a B.S. in Equine Studies, which has given me knowledge of basic small and large animal health, nutrition, diseases, and care. I have my own 2 year old Lab mix named Rory so dealing with puppies or energetic dogs is no problem for me!
