About: Experienced dog, cat, and pet owner with lots more love to give! I was raised with pets and have both cats and dogs as an adult. I’ve extensive experience with different breed types and temperaments and believe that all pets are deserving of love and care. I work from home full time, so your pet is sure to receive plenty of playtime and cuddles! I’m kind, patient, honest and responsive. Does your pup think scooters are monsters? Does your cat need to take medicine? Don't worry - I've got you. I have a full time job with lots of flexibility, so your pet will be well cared looked after no matter what day it is. I'm fully available on weekends. The most important thing for me is to establish and build trust not only with your pet, but also with you. As a long-time pet owner, I know how scary it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger. Ensuring that everyone is comfortable and happy makes the experience better for everyone.

About: I’m a college student who loves dogs and is looking for a side gig doing something I actually enjoy. I’m comfortable with all dogs and love playing with them, walking them, and making sure they’re happy while you’re away. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and will treat your pet like family! I’m currently working part time and in school but I have mornings and evenings to care for your animals! More than willing to move things around to ensure they get the care they need! I will ensure your animals are safe and feeling comfortable when in my care! If they need a leash, I will use a leash, if there’s a yard then I will still make sure they’re staying safe!

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.

“Andrew is an exceptional dog, cat sitter! I'm very picky who I'll let watch my best friend & stay in my house and he did an amazing job. He communicated regularly with pics and videos and everyone was happy when I returned! I can't wait to use him regularly when we need a dog/cat sitter! Thank you Andrew!!”

“We were lucky to have found such a caring and responsible pet-sitter as Abby. She booked with us last minute when our previous sitter fell through. We were sent multiple pictures and videos throughout our trip proving that Ozzy clearly adores her, and so do we! Her dedication to our pets well-being is truly commendable. I will definitely book her again in the future.”

About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.

About: **I have 4 years experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I’ve seen many transform into well-adjusted companions under my care** I have years of experience caring for and tending to older dogs and cats with various health issues like hip dysplasia and incontinence, in addition to puppy and kitten care, too. I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m booked up until 6pm on Wednesdays, but have more flexibility the rest of the week. I can take your pup for walks around the neighborhood, campus, or the many parks Bloomington has to offer. I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.
