About: I’ve always had animals around me, they have been a large part of my life since childhood. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats (both furry and hairless) of all ages, and the occasional lizard. I also have some experience working in a vet. I also have experience administering medicine to animals, bottle feeding kittens, taking notes/tracking behaviors or symptoms. I’d love to help care for your pet! I ok work full time (8-5) with a hybrid schedule. During my remote days I can check on your pet as often as is needed. I try to keep your pets routine as stable as possible whether it is at your home or mine. I have a fenced yard at my house
14. Ashley G.
“Ashley has cared for several generations of our family’s dogs and cats. She’s intuitive and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs and they’re happy and relaxed after spending time with her. She’s trustworthy, responsible, playful and creative. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. And, most important is that our pets are always happy to see her!”
15. Jasmine G.
“Jasmine has watched my cat multiple times and was great! They got along really well and I felt comfortable leaving my pet in her care.”
16. Arwen K.
“Arwen has been walking and house/pet sitting for me for a couple months. With my very anxious poodle it’s hard to find people who can reliably walk her and meet her needs for comfort and a bit of training, Arwen has shown they are more than capable of providing that for my somewhat difficult dog. Ive always been more than happy with them taking care of my 2 cats as well. The care and love they put into watching my animals very much shows.”
17. Cindy A.
“Cindy was wonderful and my kitty took to her right away! She visited on time, left detailed notes, took lots of action pics, was conscientious and affectionate with the cat, and had a positive, can-do attitude. I highly recommend Cindy!”
18. Rachel G.
“Rachel is a total animal lover and is so sweet, sensitive, and devoted to dogs. They fill her heart with happiness and she cares so much about being there for them. She had her own dog for 14 years and the bond they shared was unlike anything. She knows how much it means to leave them in trusted care. She loved and took care of her dog with so much heart, dedication, and joy. Rachel is responsible, reliable, and loving. She values connection with humans and animals alike and anyone would be lucky to get to have her support them.”
19. Kimmy D.
“Kimmy was amazing. We met beforehand and she was super thorough in asking questions and learning about my cat. She was on time and so caring. I HIGHLY recommend her! She is awesome!!”
20. Alison P.
About: I’ve taken care of and raised dogs and cats for the last 10 years. I have experience specifically with large dogs, reactive dogs, and shy dogs (mine is very shy). I also have experience playing with cats and giving them medicine if needed. I currently work part time so I’ve got plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I especially have afternoon and evening availability. Weekends too! I have a friendly dog, who I mostly keep separate from any other pets I’m babysitting, unless they are supervised to make sure everyone is happy and safe. I have a fenced patio for pets to sun themselves on.
