“Jason went above and beyond for our fur babies! We can tell they had huge smiles on their faces in all the videos and photos he sent. He is very reliable and responsive as well. We will definitely hire Jason again!!”
“Melissa is amazing! Communicates great, absolute sweetheart, took amazing care of Josie and my home! Hoping to rebook her for my next trip can’t say enough how great she was!”
“Kaileigh did a great job taking care of our blind dog Teo. She was extremely responsive, responsible and neat as a pin. Kaileigh kept in touch with me regularly, and based on the videos she sent me, it was clear that Teo really liked her. Hooray! We'd happily book her again, and enthusiastically recommend her to others.”
About: While I was growing up, my family always had cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have 7 pets. I have 2 rabbits, 2 Guinea pigs, a crested gecko, a cat and a dog. I have been volunteering at a rabbit rescue for 3 years. I have experience giving medication to dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am comfortable around dogs of all energy levels. I work full time from home, 8-5 Monday to Friday. I will be available most weekday nights and weekends. Days and times can be flexible. If I am caring for a pet in someone’s home, I will be very respectful of their home and exactly follow their instructions as far as taking care of their fur baby.
About: I have many years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats, and I have 5 years of experience dealing with cats with Feline Diabetes. I have 4 cats that I love and care for every day, they are my whole world! I am available on nights, weekends, and holidays. In my clients home, I would get to know the animals first and make them feel comfortable with me, and make sure I listen carefully to the clients instructions on how to care for the pet(s).
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.
“Jess was reliable and thoughtful. Hand feeding our puppy when he wouldn’t eat his food. We were able to enjoy our mini vacation, knowing that our puppy was in good hands.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with a golden retriever named Emma. Now, I have 2 pups of my own! Maggie (11 y/o, terroir mix, adopted) & Molly (2 y/o, teddy bear mix, bought). I trained Molly in puppy school & did in home training between both pups in order for them to get along! I’m currently in school & working part time. I have random open periods during the day that can be used to take care of your pups! Please message me for more details about availability. No fenced yard; however, I have very long leashes & heavy duty poles that screw into the ground outside so that my pups can run freely without a fence. I also live next to a nice park with some fenced dog parks! The park also includes multiple trails, including paved and nature trails. Due to owning an adopted dog with past abuse and anxiety (which is now well controlled by training and overall healing in a loving and safe environment like my own) I do not offer in home care just in case my adopted pup is startled by the presence of another dog. Because of this, I am willing to travel for pup sitting and services!
“I reached out to Tricia in a bit of a panic as our normal dog sitting options fell through very last minute. Not only did she make time to help, she went above and beyond to make sure our puppy feel loved. Right from the meet and greet my dog took to her like she was part of the family, and my travel anxiety was immediately put at ease as she ran through her care plan. We truly can't thank you enough, Tricia! You were amazing in every way!”
“Kelly was a pleasure! We met in advance for her to meet the fur babies, which I really appreciated. She helped watch 3 of our animals, one being a senior English bulldog that needs extra care and it was comforting to know while my husband and I were away, they were in good hands. They loved her! Which is also comforting! Thanks Kelly!! :)”
“Christian is comfortable around animals and clearly loves them a lot! When we met him, he gave us a great sense of confidence that he would care for our babies well in our absence — and he did! During his stay, he sent us pictures and updates and he responded quickly to messages. We came home to a safe and happy fur family ❤️”
“Hayley was a wonderful sitter for our 2 year old shepherd mix—highly recommend! Not only did she come to the rescue when our dog sitter backed out last minute, but she also took amazing care of our dog who had just had an injury (requiring close monitoring, medication administration, and wound care). She helped ease our stress, knowing he would be in good hands while we were away. She was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and so accommodating—sending us plenty of updates, pictures, and videos. She went above and beyond to take care of him and our home.”
“Natasha followed my instructions to keep the Lil' Dog (Isis) and Lil' Bit (Andromeda) on their daily routines! Lil' Bit is in her toddler years, according to our vet. So, she is a handful. She especially doesn't like clothes. But, I came home to her happily enjoying her new pink dress! I was so excited! She didn't want to take it off! Natasha said she had a surprise, and "Drommy" dressed in a pretty pink dress was the best! I will definitely request Natasha again & recommend her!”
