Jaclyn was on time and was definitely a animal l9ver! She referred to our Coop as Bear from Bear in The Big Blue House (a show I just introduced to my granddaughter) so I knew she was perfect to hang out with our pups! Our pups are A LOT - we have three and they each want ALL the attention! She sent pics and updates which we loved! Our cameras took a pic of Jacyln sitting on the couch, Molly tucked in close, while Jacyln was reading our laminated "book of guidance" for our crews care - it's about 5 pages 😀. The dogs were well cared for and happy when we arrived back home! Huge thanks to Jaclyn! Would recommend her to all who need loving trusted pet care!

Cade went above and beyond what I had asked. They cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess and updated me after every visit on if my asthmatic cat had any incidents. Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!

About: I am a big time dog lover! I work from home and am able to be here with the pets all day and take them out at least every 2 hours or as needed. I have a big house with a decent sized yard (NOT fenced). I'd love a few more companions hanging out with me and my dog, Lola! There aren't a lot of pet sitting options in this area so here I am making it an option :) Please come check me out! I work from home so i am here all day with the pets and able to tend to them as needed. i get an hour break for lunch and thats usually when i take my dog out to play/walk. I am available for day time pet sitting during the week. If needed me on a weekend we can most likely work something out-case by case basis-but it wasn't something i wanted to promote on my profile.

Eliot was great! Very easy to get in contact with and flexible with my schedule. She sent me an update when on her visit as well as a few pictures which was greatly appreciated. She is also very knowledgable and gave me some great advice for my 6 month old puppy. Would definitely recommend Eliot for someone looking for a short term or long term sitter.

Monica was a great sitter for my yorkie-mix. She stayed overnight with Bella in both our home and hers. Bella was very happy when we returned from a 1 week vacation. We would definitely book with Monica again.

I was so happy to find Jillian, as a sitter myself I have high standards and Jillian stepped up to the task. She followed all instructions left and sent detailed updates each day. Definitely felt at ease while I was on my trip, I came home to happy pups and a clean doggie room!! Highly recommend Jillian!!!

About: I know dogs need exercise, discipline, and affection. I know it can be challenging to find the right pet care that is trustworthy and reliable. I’ll do my best to give your pet the care they need! I am a massage therapist for part of the week and I homeschool my children when I’m not working. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I have extra time to fill here and there with pet care. I will feed, walk, or give your animals attention based on clients request and animals requirements. Whether it’s In the yard, taking them for a walk or just sitting petting them, I’ll give them what they need.

About: I have done dog sitting for multiple different families, including overnight care for a family with two dogs, one medium and one large. Since moving to college and the passing of my childhood lab, I’ve been missing having a dog around and would love to hang out with some + make extra cash. I am a full time college student and I am a reliable dog person. I go for walks all the time and would love for your furry friend to join! I am pretty available from Friday to Monday. I have 2 in person classes and one in person internship, and then i have one online class and one online internship. So I don’t have many in-person obligations on those days. I can tend to the owners preferences for how they want their pet to be looked after, whether that be crating, leashed walks, letting out, etc. I live in a pretty small apartment but we’ve had dogs stay here before, I would prefer to provide services at the dogs home however. I am also willing to discuss extra house chores if needed!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since 2014 and have been actively caring for them since 2015. I love both cats and dogs and am very familiar with playtime, feeding, and bedtime routines. I have a flexible schedule at my full-time job. So I would have to compare my schedule to make sure I have your pets care as a priority. Depending on routine, I'm okay with walks, outdoor playtime and any other needs you have for your furry friend. I'm not allowed dogs in my home. However, before my move I had a dog run and a big yard where my dog at the time could just run and feel like a puppy again.

About: I have worked at a Veterinary Hospital for about 5 years, working to keep their experience as comfortable as possible, along with growing up with cats, dogs, and farm animals.I do work another job so for house/dog sitting I would be getting to the location usually between 6:30-7ish depending on location, so keep this in mind when considering booking me While I work full time my schedule is set so there will not be likely to have unexpected changes giving your animals a good structure to work with I can come to your location to let your dogs out/take them for a walk, as well as feed them and get in playtime while keeping them in a space they feel comfortable.

Melissa struck me as a mature, articulate, cheerful, and responsible adult. She did a wonderful job dropping in and taking care of my kitties and my home for 4 days. She also would’ve been available an extra day had my travel plans gone awry. Her communications and photos were timely and thorough. This trip was during a time of below zero temperatures outside, so it was nice to not worry about home/heat/freeze issues. My cats seem to have enjoyed her too. Thank you!

Another great visit by Aleisha! Sadie is getting to know her and it's paying off with a less stressed animal when we come home. We know that the next few weeks will bring them closer still and we can't wait for that to happen. Sadie likes her new pack mate!
