We felt completely comfortable when we were away. The animals loved Natasha and her daughter. So nice to find someone you can trust with your fur babies.

We had a walkaround the house with Rochelle. Rochelle was attentive and took lots of pictures. You can tell that she takes the care of our pups and the house very seriously. After learning the house, Rochelle observed the correct food portions and fed the pups. She is so loving to the pups.

Helena has provided excellent care for my puppy, shared great photos and reports for each visit, and always maintained great communication with me. She was very observant from day one, followed instructions and always kept me abreast of any changes or concerns regarding my pet. Thanks, Helena!

Jenna did an exceptional job caring for my senior small dog. If I could give more stars, I would! She gave me photos and video and an honest observation of my dog on each visit. I would 100% request her to come over again!

My Louie can be a bit of a challenge… and Esther was great with him! She was patient while he warmed up to her, sending me photos and information along the way. He actually looked like he was smiling! I came home to a happy, healthy pup. Thank you, Esther! We can’t wait to use you again!

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

Elena is fantastic! We have two rescue doodles and one of them is scared to death of strangers. She was patient and kind to our pups, and Annie and Cooper took to her right away! We just love her and will definitely use her as a regular sitter!

About: I have taken care of pets for a couple of years for friends, family, and neighbors. I have had dogs all my life and love taking them on walks and playing with them in the yard! I am currently in school online and working two part-time jobs, so I am available Monday-Friday. With a two week notice I am also able to provide help on the weekends! When caring for pets I ensure that they get lots of time outside and getting exercise such as walks or playing fetch. I own a Doberman, so I am used to high energy dogs and I worked at a Doggy Daycare where I got lots of experience working with all different breeds and temperaments.

Brittney was great with my three dogs. She built an instant connection with them including one this is usually slow to warm up to new people. She completely understood the special instructions and care required for my diabetic dog and I felt very comfortable with her taking care of them.

About: Hey there! I'm Alyn and I absolutely LOVE spending my free time with pets!! I adore both cats and dogs and have over 10 years of experience caring for many pet personalities. With my own pets, I've cared for senior pets, dogs with special medical needs, reactive dogs (my current baby), anxious cats, and playful puppies. I've also worked at an animal shelter, where | provided care, walks, and enrichment to the dogs there. I learned so much about dog/cat body language, care, health, training, and even went on to teach this to children at their educational summer camps! I'd love to be your dog's best friend and make sure they have a safe and amazing time with me while you're away! I currently have ample availability to take on new clients and provide consistent services! I'd love to help with dog walks, drop-ins, and any other care that you need! Typically the earliest I start is 9am and the latest around 8-9pm. Need a bit earlier/later? Reach out! I'd love to work with you! The safety of your pets is of outmost importance to me and I pride myself in providing a safe and appropriate environment at all times. When in a client's home, I'm always sure to be mindful and adhere to the instructions agreed on prior. Rest assured your pets will be treated just as they are when you're there...well, perhaps a bit more spoiled: P

Kayla and Demitrius were awesome. They took great care of our four cats over the long holidays. In fact, they really went above and beyond by also feeding a stray cat we've been looking after - they didn't have to do thar but they truly are animal lovers. Our littlest cat is naturally very suspicious but even he had warmed up to them by the end of the holiday. We will definitely reach out to them first every time we need cat sitters.

About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. My family and I lived in a trailer park when I was little. My mother always said from the moment I was born the animals flocked to me and there was no animal I couldn't get my hands on. My sister and I used to play with the stray cats outside of Grandpa's house. Pop would always mention how the cat we were holding would never let anyone close enough. Mom would often find "miss kitty in my crib with me. As I got older miss kitty passed away, but had left behind some kittens in her stead. Mom had decided to keep one and named him pudgy. He was a long hair black cat with the tiniest bit of white on his underbelly. I can remember running up and down the hallway and tap my shoulder as if trying to play tag with my sister and I. Pudgy and I had been the best of friends for about 18 years, till his passing. During the years he and I were together, he would often come running anytime he heard me sniffle or begin to cry. There were many other animals that we had over the years as well. Dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits, rodents, amphibians, horses they've been a vital part of my life. But no matter what I always come back to many best friend and the furry felines. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working on getting my EVOC certification for Royal Medical. I will not have my updated schedule until after March 29. When I watch pets I do generally have my 5 yo with me. Availability -pending I have a dog pen out back and a cable that we use with our dogs fairly frequently when the weather is nice. I also have a play pen that the pups play in.
