Christine was very good with my dog. He’s busy and anxious at times. But she was kind and loving to him. She also was able to help last minute as another sitter backed out, causing a fuss- she was helpful and a lifesaver.

About: I’ve had dogs around the house since I was 2 years old and have had many other pets ranging from rats to hedgehogs! I been able to adequately take care of each for as long as i’ve had them! I am currently on summer break from college so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and get in the time they need outside! I was able to take my elder dog on walks everyday to keep him active and get him his time outside. I also helped around the house with taking care of him, playing, and feeding him.

This was the best service we have ever experienced with our pets. Jennifer was very personable and we felt like we had a friend stopping by to check on our pets. We will definitely be using this service in the future Thanks Mike & Krista

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young, when I became a teenager I started to help my mom take care of animals and staying for a few days at the homeowners houses. Also, on the weekends I dog and cat sat for my friend and her family at there house ranging from 2 days to a few weeks. I am a college student, so I usually have classes in the morning and the rest of the day free. I might have a few shifts at my job that keeps me occupied for 5-7 hours a couple of times a week. I play with them a few hours and take them outside every 4-8 hours. I like to take dogs on walks, and I clean the litter every 2-3 days.

About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.

Abby was fantastic with our cat Bauer, he loved her. She did drop in visits for a week while we were on vacation. He’s an apartment cat that is more like a dog. He needs that daily socialization (more than we can do with our cat laser camera) and he likes to be able to go out on the screened patio for outdoor/bird watching time. Definitely our future cat sitter

About: I strive to provide the care and professionalism that I need and expect to be provided to my own pets. Dogs are wonderful creatures that deserve proper love and attention integrated into their family life. I have experience with successful training of my own dog's basic obedience skills (sit, stay, heel, eat, touch, shake, etc). Have taken care of many other dogs, reptiles, and fish for people in my life. I am especially interested in helping reactive dogs or dogs with behavioral issues. I work freelance so I set my own schedule for the most part. Completely flexible for clients needs. A few weeks of the year I'm booked for longer gigs but that is easily identifiable up front for potential clients. Care for clients is completely dependent on their needs and comforts. I will always defer to the client for what is needed for them and their environment. Open and honest communication is the foundation for care and comfortability.

Mikayla was awesome! She was so easy to work with and very responsible. I would rebook her in a heartbeat whenever I travel again. She did an amazing job and even managed to take photos of my skittish cats. She kept the litter area impeccable. I recommend her 100%!

While conducting the meet and greet, Mariah was studious in her note-taking of the usual care of my cat, and seemed to understand cats. This was put into action while we were gone, as I was left detailed rover-cards describing how Freyja was, and the condition of her various resources when Mariah visited. We will definitely look at rebooking for our next trip!

Steph is such a doll! She made time in her busy Christmas schedule to stop by and let the dogs out and feed them. It was great to not have to worry about them while we were gone. The dogs loved her, as usual. I could tell by all the smiley faces in the pictures she took!

About: I grew up caring for animals and have been responsible for their daily needs from a young age. I currently have three cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and recognizing behavior or health changes. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident their pets are safe and comfortable. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, so whenever you need me I got you! Pet care is part of my daily routine with my own cats. I’m available for consistent visits and will always ensure your pet’s feeding, comfort, and well-being are my top priority! I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in your home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and any special care needs. I respect your home, keep the environment clean and calm, and ensure doors and windows are secure at all times. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and will provide updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I have walked dogs and have had dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, animals ranging from a 100+ pound German Shepard to a small cat. I love them all. During quarentine my friend and I also had our own little dog walking business around or neighbor. We had around 10 frequent clients who we would walk on a weekly basis, so I have had experience with many different dogs. I am here for your animals and excited to meet them! I am going to be working full time this summer and will be working night shifts. I can play with your animals in the morning and mid afternoon. I can also check on them after work. Weekends I will be available every other weekend. I will be able to tend to animals very early in the morning and a little after noon. I am hoping to spend more time with a variety of animals this summer at reasonable costs! I have a decent sized yard with large hedges around it. My mom loves animals so she is happy whenever we dog watch our neighbors dog. I get along with almost all dogs and cats.

I was so appreciative of her timely feedings, and the time she spent with them, I was able to see it all on my Ring. She was very professional caring.

About: I have owned several dogs of various sizes that I have cared for. I am a responsible person that is always punctual, and I get my work done as expected. I tend to prefer larger dogs, but small dogs are not an issue. Dogs with minor medical needs are not an issue either as I have watched my step sisters dog before while she was on vacation, and her dog requires seizure medication twice daily. I also have much experience with cats. Cats are fairly easy to handle, and I have been with cats of various attitudes, from occasionally hostile to extremely friendly. There is no job that is too much to handle. I am willing to put my best effort into taking care of your furry friends. I work quite a bit, but I will always make time for your furry friends. If it’s booked enough in advance, I’m able to adjust my work schedule to meet your pets needs. I treat all pets with respect. It is their home, not mine, and I treat them as if they were my child. They get the best care and lots of love. I respect animals boundaries just as I would expect a person to respect my own.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for and understanding dogs at all stages of life. I currently have a 1-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m actively involved in daily training, exercise, and care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. Currently part-time availability with flexible hours, including weekdays and some weekends, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable care that fits around different schedules and needs. I provide a safe, comfortable home environment with a large fenced yard for exercise and play. I can crate dogs if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I also have a very friendly, playful dog who gets along well with other dogs and helps create a positive, social, and welcoming atmosphere for visiting pets.
