About: I have been taking care of animals since I’ve been 8 years old with my own family pets growing up to working at a shelter for a high school project and continuing after graduation. Working at the shelter I gained a lot of experience with all different breeds and sizes including cats/kittens. I have great experience with dogs and cats with behavioral issues, teaching them basic commands, food sensitivity and aggression. I have two dogs of my own both standard labradoodles, one is a 2 year old male who we adopted and a 6 month old female. Our favorite things to do together are learn tricks a fun way, lots of cuddles, playing fetch, car rides and walks. I can also help out with housekeeping! I am available any day/night and anytime expect Monday-Friday during the school year from 230pm until 5pm. I will be available all day/night on school breaks. I will ask each dog/cat owner a detailed list of the their animals routine that should include their feeding schedule. I will keep a close eye on your animals and report anything immediately. I will make sure everything is secured like gates and doors, fresh food/water and clean bowls each time, I can also provide housekeeping to keep a clean and safe environment for the animals as well.
8. Kaity C.
“Kaity was so good to our dog!! I loved the updates and pictures she sent us throughout the week. She handled some issues that came up like a pro too. Will definitely keep using her!!”
9. Rick V.
“When I think of Rick, people, pets, and plants (gardening) come to mind. I entrust Rick to my 20-pound mini goldendoodle, 24/7, and I'm a fussbudget! I have a 2-hour commute (one-way) for my work, M-F, and I won't leave my dog unattended for hours on end. Rick displays "The Softer Side of Sears" when I say that he has a compassion and passion for people and pets. He reinforces training commands (to my already certified Therapy Dog) to keep my doodle accountable and enjoyable in public space. "The pride of ownership" is his mantra, as an avid gardener, dog trainer, neat freak (for lack of a better term) and all around nice guy.”
10. Sandra S.
“Sandra is the most reliable and passionate pet-sitter we’ve ever had. She follows directions, asks questions if necessary, and loves our (multiple!) animals like they’re her own! She is meticulous and attentive to details. I could not recommend her enough.”
11. Joey B.
“My personal experience of knowing Joey, she's amazing with dogs, responsible, caring and will leave you stress free. She was always great with her dog and treated Hades like he was her own child.”
12. Andrew C.
“Andrew just loves dogs and they love him!! He takes the best care of my little dog, they are best friends! Andrew is 💯 trustworthy and I never worry about my baby while I’m away! Kandy R”
13. Autumn B.
About: I have taken care of my own pets since i was 10, many different breeds. I also have worked with a groomer to help bath and prep the dogs before their grooming. I also have taken care of their 5 dogs while they left for a week. I work a few days a week as i’m going to school. I typically only work a few hours at a time so i can still stop by and play/ take care of your pet. I have lots of experiences with different breeds and energy levels. If are working on basic obedience and would like me to continue working with your pup i would be glad to follow all of your instructions for your fur baby.

16. Jaclyn T.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for co-workers for approximately 5 years but have been an animal lover my whole life! I don’t remember a time when my family did not own a pet! I work night shift 3 times a week and have plenty of time to keep your pets company during the day and on my days off! I would prefer to watch your pets at your home but would not be opposed to keeping them with me! I have 2 cats and currently in the process of rebuilding our fence!
17. Tom B.
“I'm a police officer and I work double shifts often, so I didn't have time to train my German Shepherd. She was very high energy and could not walk well on a leash. Tom spent a couple months with her and calmed her down and he was able to get her to walk next to me on a leash without pulling so hard. Tom's girlfriend Katie also stayed overnight at my house a couple times to take care of her while I was out of town. Both of them are great people and great with dogs and I always recommend them to my family and friends.”

About: I love dogs! They are so calming and just wonderful creatures! I am very much a dog person and I love them! Dogs make me happy and I know I will make you and your dog happy if you choose me! I have had many dogs personally and loved and cared for all of them. I am available more in the mornings and later at night! I have cared for pets ever since I was young and my love for them just keeps growing and growing! I work with dogs at a doggie daycare and boarding facility! I absolutley love my job. -I am currently only doing virtual or phone call meet and greets. I have a surgery coming up and I can’t risk getting covid. (I am unable to help if you currently have covid or have been exposed) I hope you understand!- *What to expect* I will work with you on a drop-off/pick-up time. There may be a late fee charged if you are more than a few hours late. I also have 2 dogs who are super friendly! Farley is a 7 year old Mini bull terrier, and Callie is an Australian cattle dog, who is a service dog in training. She is about 11 months old. They love playing with other dogs! They go to work with me everyday so they are socialized. I do need to know if your dog is aggressive, this can cause issues! I do not except female dogs in heat. I do not have too much experience with that and I do not want to get my dogs going crazy. If your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or humans, I need to know. If your dog is a chewer, that would be great to know. I have certain toys for them and I do not want furniture chewed up. (yours or mine!) I cannot wait to meet you and your dogs! Dogs are my life and I imagine yours! *I have a Facebook page called "Sit,Stay, home pet sitting" if you prefer to book me through there!" I have two dogs who will keep your fur baby company and make them feel at home. I keep up with your dogs normal schedule, so I do not throw them off. Dogs have a routine and they get upset if you do not keep up with it! haha! I have my own pets to take care of daily and weekly. I would integrate them into my dogs daily routine. I am a dog trainer so it’s no big deal! I care for clients pets like they are their own. I make sure to keep a close eye on their health and what they are doing. I treat them like my babies.

“I have had Stacy watch my little peanut (dash hound) several times and she has a love for animals like no one I have ever seen.

She is honest and trustworthy I feel comfortable with her in my home and with my fur baby.”
