About: I have been taking care of pets since I was very young. I am currently working as a veterinary technician. I have a bachelors degree in veterinary technology. I have medical expertise and experience in administering medications. I thoroughly enjoy working with new pet parents and I am happy to answer any questions about pet care. My only request is to meet with pet and owner in their home before the date of the service required. I am currently not working so I will have plenty of times for your pups! My schedule may be subject to change depending on employment situation. I am currently not able to house pets in my home at this time.however I am happy to take care of your pets in their home. Whether I need to walk them or just have them run around in a fenced in backyard either isn’t an issue. If I am staying overnight I pride myself in being a good house guest and make sure the house is as clean as when you left it. I have experience with training equipment such as choke collars, and basket muzzles as well.

Stephanie always takes such good care of our old girl. She treats her with love and tenderness. I feel very relieved to be able to leave our dog in such great hands. The house is always in great shape when we return, too.

We hired Sarah to come and stay with our girl Sunny while we were on vacation. I had Sarah come to walk her once a week, leading up to her stay so that they could get to know each other. Poor Sarah lol! One obstacle after another and she handled it like a trooper. She even went above and beyond and picked up medication from our vet and started Sunny on it. She sent me pictures all the time and she was great at communicating on how Sunny was doing. I really didn’t worry about Sunny being in her care. Sunny really liked Sarah! We got home and the house was in great shape. She had gotten all the mail and everything was waiting on the table. Having a great sitter come to your home is the way to go. Thanks so much Sarah❤️

We are so fortunate to have found Kadence.She has a calm,soft demeanor and was unfazed by my fearful Chihuahua barking at her.Once Finn realized that I was leaving he jumped onto her lap and watched me go.That never happens.Kadence sent pictures that assured me that Finn was laying calmly with her.It was a huge relief for me to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family knowing that Finn was in good hands.Kadence is professional and was here when she said she would be.I highly recommend her.I’ve already booked her,again,for a weekend.

Allison was truly a blessing and if I ever need this service again, I will absolutely contact her! This was my first time ever leaving for multiple days and our planned sitter (a friend of ours) fell through shortly before our trip. Allison gave us the peace of mind that our dog's would be taken care of. She stayed with them for more time than I had even dared hope for and sent us regular updates. She was transparent, responsible, respectful and kind. Upon our return it was obvious that our dogs missed us but it was also obvious that they had been well cared for and treated with nothing but love and kindness. I can't possibly be even more thankful than I am.

AnnMarie was more than helpful for watching over Marley. We had an intro call so that she could get to know him and his needs, and on the day of the petsitting she was very kind, professional, and took excellent care of Marley. We couldn't have asked for better help. Thank you so much AnnMarie!!!

Camila did a great job taking care of my two dogs at my house. She constantly sent pictures and videos. She even gave one of the dogs a bath which was definitely way beyond what I was expecting. Came back to a clean house and exhausted dogs. I already have her scheduled for some other weekends.

Joseph and Meg were great with Fizzie. He likes a lot of attention and they gave it to him. They collected our mail and watered our plants too. They even mowed the lawns for us. We have no reservations in recommending them to anyone for any pet caring and house sitting needs. We will continue to ask Joseph and Meg to come and walk and sit with Fizzie!! Thank you Joseph and Meg so much.

About: I’ve had many pets in my lifetime from dogs and cats big and small to birds. My pets have had all different kinds of personalities from sweet and loving to feisty and closed off. I’ve taken care of lots of family and friends’ pets and have about a year of professional experience dog walking. I love all animals and always have. I always ensure I treat others pets with the same love and care I do my own. I’m a college student working part time looking to make some extra money on the side. From play time and walks, to clean up, I’ll take care of everything! Im very responsible and will be sure your animals are more than well taken care. I’ll be sure they are well fed and am always ready clean up things like vomit, hairballs, litter, etc if needed. And of course, I will be sure your animals get more than enough play time and will build a trusting and welcoming atmosphere!

April is WONDERFUL! She took great care of our 14 year old chihuahua mix; with medical and mobility issues, fear of strangers and a finicky eater - he is a challenge. April and he became friends immediately and he has never been cared for better. She is the best dog and house sitter we have ever had, going way above and beyond. We are going to use her again and highly recommend April for your next dog sitting.

Amy is wonderful and very trustworthy! We were in a pinch and looking for a dog sitter last minute and she was available for us on New Year’s Eve and the next day& night at our place. She made sure to send us lots of updates with videos which helped to make us feel super comfortable having a new sitter. She even brought a cognitive toy with her to keep our pup entertained and brushed our dogs teeth. We will be hiring her again and I would absolutely recommend her! Thanks again, Amy!

About: I grew up always having at least one dog in my home, I now have two. I was tasked with feeding, walking, and playing with them. Often times when neighbors and friends would go out of town I would look after their pets, staying at their house when needed. I am currently a nanny during the week which leaves me with a flexible schedule during the day and I am almost always available after 3pm. On the weekends I go away, but I can likely be available if requested. When caring for someone’s pet I always make sure to follow the instructions given. This can rang from their diet, to their bathroom / walking schedule, to whatever else they may need.

Melissa was absolutely fantastic with our girls. We have one very anxious dog who Melissa completely won over and made our time away so much better for her, and us. Melissa took exceptional care of our babies and made sure to send us lots of updates, pictures, and videos. Beyond pet care, Melissa took wonderful care of our home. She is a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her services enough.

For the past 5 years it’s been increasingly difficult to find dependable and understanding house sitters for my anxious and fearful Chihuahua.Jacky is both and more.She was punctual and adapted to Finn’s personality and schedule without a problem.He’s scared and yippy when meeting new people but it didn’t take long for him to cuddle up to Jacky.There were many pictures and updates which I appreciated and put me at ease knowing that Finn was being well cared for.Unfortunately,for us, distance is a problem going forward with house sitting which is our main need.I would not hesitate for a second to have Jacky care for Finn,again,and I highly recommend her.Your babies will be in excellent hands.
