About: I get asked to pet sit for friends and family all the time. I dont just do 10 minute check in's just to feed them and let them go potty. I play with them, spoil them with treats and loves, keep them company for a bit, all of it. I just graduated from high-school, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I would love to spend it taking care of animals so family's dont have to worry about them while away from home. I do have a part time job, but it will be no problem to work around any schedule! I have 6 dogs, Ive been around a ton more, of all sizes and personalities. I love all dogs and I hope all dogs love me. Getting a dog to go potty or get in their crate is no problem for me, I can even teach them some helpful tricks like, sit, lay down, stay, all sorts.

I will care for the pets by loving them and listening to the owners requests .

“Regina has saved our tails now on multiple occasions. I recently and regrettably booked with other pet sitting site for a long term sit and found out they weren't fulfilling their responsibilities to walk our dog.

We love her and couldn't recommend her enough!”
