About: I have a passion for pets and will truly care for and love your fur baby (ies) as if they were my own. Enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I have 15+ years of experience, including sitting for puppies and senior pets, and can provide excellent references. I am available for sitting, walking, drop in visits, doggy day care. I usually care for one pet at a time, unless you and your pup are OK with my sitting another at the same time. I'd prefer watching your dog/cat in the comfort of your home, but can also sit for them in my pet friendly apartment. I have cared for a dog and cat for a month and for two dogs for two weeks in the owners home and have been told I've left their home cleaner than when they left. ***I'll be in/near Salida, CO and available Aug 14-Aug 24....and Sept 2-through Sept. 18th (and hopefully returning soon thereafter) I'm available in/near Bay Ridge Brooklyn (Bensonhurst, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights, Bay Ridge, Williamsburg Brooklyn and other areas) Thank you for considering me. I look forward to building a relationship of trust with both you and your pet.😊🐾🐈🐶 I work remotely, so I can give extra attention, and have great flexibility. We can coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Care includes walking, playing with, feeding, and administering any medications, etc. I listen closely to your needs and how you care for your dog/cat and follow suit. If I care for them in my home, I make sure they feel as comfortable as they are in yours. I also have many dog parks in my neighborhood and can take them on walks, etc.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for cats and dogs since I was 16. I would say I’ve done 15-20 years of dog care including walks, hikes, daycare, house sitting, and basic grooming. I work at Monarch Mountain in the winter and The Adventure Company in the summer 5 days a week. I am usually good about working around your pet’s needs, but I will be completely upfront if I don’t think I would be a good fit due to any time constraints. I’m committed to providing excellent care for your pets during my available hours, ensuring their needs are met and they receive the attention they deserve. I will always communicate my schedule in advance to coordinate the best care for your pets. At your home, I’m happy to follow whatever guidelines or boundaries you have for your pet! If you want/allow your pet to have a buddy, I have a sweet 8yr old Heeler they can play with. My pup loves walks, so if yours is the same, they will get along swimmingly.

About: Hi there! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, I have had them for 15 years and the 2 cats for longer. It has been a blessing in my life to share time with these animals and has inspired me to branch off to exploring new types of animals to spend time with. As a trained massage therapist, I also offer pet massage for $30 for 30 minutes and $60 for 60 minutes! I work part time as a massage therapist and I pet sit on my free time. I am available when I am not booked as a massage therapist and have 3-4 days open a week where I am always free. I walk the dogs regularly and take them to use the bathroom periodically. Spending time comforting is one thing I really enjoy the most. Each of their needs will always be met, physically and emotionally.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets for many years now.
