About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!

“Mackenzie was great! She sent us report cards with descriptions and pictures of our dog everyday when letting him out for potty breaks for four days in a row. We would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
About: In my six years of animal care, I have taken care of many animals, from dogs to birds, and grew up on a large farm... so I have seen a few things. I work from 7:30 to 4:30, so I will have most of the day to spend with your little one. I typically will take my dogs out every 2 hours or so and keep there water clean and well feed. For my dogs, I feed them in the morning and take them on many walks throughout the day so that they will be tired out to rest at night. I will also check their water each day to make sure it is not empty or dirty.
“Sophia is a great house and pet sitter. We plan to continue to use her. She’s has been flexible and given us great peace of mind when we are away.”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. My girls Piper, Ella and Shelby are my world. I love these dogs like they are children. They are spoiled I will admit. I also have taken care of my friends dogs for years while they have been out of town and my house as "Aunt Paige's Doggie Camp" All my dogs I have brought up from puppies. I have house trained them, crate trained them and trained them on the invisible fence for the yard. They always get lots of love and have lots of toys to play with, both inside and outside. I work from home, so I'm always here to take them out and take care of them. My dogs are always outside when it's not too hot or the weather is bad. I live on a quite street which ends in a cul-da-sak. So I will walk them at least 2 times a day The most important thing is they must get along with other dogs. I have a invisible fence in my yard and can certainly put your dog on it if they are trained on one. Otherwise I will go out with them and walk them. If they are well trained and can be lose a return on command they can play in the yard with my girls.

About: I have a couple years of pet sitting experience, both drop-ins and house sitting. I have always been a pet lover, and enjoy meeting new animals. I’ve watched active dogs, and dogs with dietary restrictions. I’m home for summer break and have a very flexible schedule. I can’t wait to meet your pets! At this time, I have open availability as I’m home for the summer. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits. I’m open to long and short term visits as well! I approach every visit knowing that all pets have different needs. I love having detailed directions to insure that I can care for your pets to the best of my availability.
“Samantha provided multiple pictures each visit and was very patient with our shy dog. Our dog and cat are happy and healthy and no messes. Definitely recommend and will hire her again. Five stars!”
About: I grew up in a family that had 2 cats, and I because we lived in a bit of a small neighborhood, sometimes the neighbors would ask to animal-sit/house-sit for them when they were away. My schedule is fairly open throughout the week, sometimes things may pop up here and there, but obviously I will let you know if I will or will not be able to do something last minute. But my schedule availability as of right now is open from Monday-Sunday! So please feel free to reach out and ask! Sometimes I will house my in-laws three dogs when they are on vacation, we have a fence in the backyard and a clean pet friendly house!

Shane has always been a good listener and when he’s serious about a good service, he goes all in. He used to work at a Men’s Wearhouse and he helped me pick out a good suit and tie. He knows how to be honest and help the customer get the best product they need.”
