Haley was great with my dogs! My girl can be nervous around new people and Haley was so patient and calm with her. I’ve already booked her again!

Andrea was amazingly responsible and patient. She was available on short notice. Took pictures and shared that she took the time to continue our trained behaviors of sitting to receive treats. We will be working with Andrea again. Highly recommended.

About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.

About: i’ve taken care of dogs and cats and other animals from the time I was little, whether it be neighbors or friends or my own as I grew up on a farm! I have experience with aggressive and avoidant, cats and dogs. I’m currently free all day, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise playtime, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. currently, I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog area in the backyard, but in a few weeks will be moving into a townhouse with my very own backyard!

About: I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and ages my whole adult life. I'm happy to go for long walks, play, or even just relax with your pets if that's what they need. I'm happy to take care of puppies all the way to seniors and give medication when needed. I work part time at a reasturant so I am available most days. When I do work it's late afternoon until mid evening. I'm happy to check and let out your fur babies before and after I work. I will always make sure they are taken care of and happy before I go. I will always respect and do what is required for your fur baby. I prefer anything very specific to be written down so I can follow each step to its specific need for your pets.

Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I was frequently in charge of feeding, grooming, walking, and training her as well as administering medications. I’m working part time on the weekends but I’m available all the time Monday through Thursday. On weekends I usually work up to 3 4 hour shifts so I still have time to take care of pets! I always keep a close eye on animals to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am always on top of cleaning any messes they may make.

About: I grew up with lots of pets around the house and absolutely love spending time and playing with them. I’d love the opportunity to help out! I also work at mission point so I know my way around if you happen to be staying here. I’m a big walker and nature lover too so it’s a win-win. I’m available on my days off and before noon! It’s such a nice break to get to go on a walk with a dog or sit with them. I’m able to replace food and water, can play games with the dog and go on long walks. I will give them all of my attention and make sure they’re happy!

We loved Lily! She was so personable and took very good care of our little Lucy. She sent cute pictures and was very communicative. We're very picky on who watches her just because she's 15 and very hard of hearing. But Lily did not make us worry one bit that Lucy was in good hands. I will not hesitate to contact her again!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have been caring for pets my whole life. I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand the daily attention, exercise, patience, and love pets need to feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their regular routine, I’m committed to giving each pet personalized care and attention to keep them happy while their owners are away. I currently work full time during the week, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I care for my own dog as well. I’m available before and after work on weekdays, and I have more flexibility and availability on weekends. I’m committed to making sure pets get the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I currently live in a household with two dogs, and I’ve lived with both dogs and cats for most of my life. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in any way they need and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention while their owners are away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the care and attention I put into every detail. I truly love animals and treat each pet as if they were my own. From understanding their unique routines to making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy, I go the extra mile to give them the best care possible. I work for myself online, which gives me a completely flexible schedule. That means I’m always available and can easily adjust my time around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute plans, I have the freedom to be there whenever you need me. You can feel confident trusting me in your home and with your pet. I treat every space and animal with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel secure while you’re away, so I make sure to keep things clean, follow your instructions closely, and give your pet all the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have loved and cared for many types of animals since childhood and have had two Beagle babies of my own for almost 10 years now! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. My communication and close attention to detail helps me to follow specific instructions, and as I am very particular about my pets - I understand how to ease the worries associated with someone else caring the way you would. Frequent updates and pictures is the way I roll so you won’t have to worry about a thing. Flexibility is everything to me, also being a caretaker to a grandparent, so if you are not sure if I am a good fit… let’s talk about it! My schedule is a balancing act but I am lucky enough to work from home, which allows me more flexibility with seeing and caring for my furry friends. I understand some things happen in life and I would love to help where I can! I will care for your pets in the exact manner you request, along with extra love, doting, attention, patience and empathy. Trust is everything when it comes to what you love, and my goal is for everyone to have the best experience.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was very young. I started independently walking and watching animals when I was 12. I have had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to take care of their fur babies for quite some time now. On top of that I have cared for my 3 cats since I was 8 years old. In addition, I have experience with senior pet care, I recently said goodbye to my senior rescue beagle and I have watched a handful of other senior dogs. I’m currently a full time student with an Internship a two days a week. I can easily stop in for a walk or potty break throughout the week when I don’t have my internship in the morning, afternoon and evening. My availability during the weekend is wide open during the morning and afternoon!! I am one of the biggest animal lovers I think there is. I will always put your fur baby’s safety and health first. I would also like to mention I have experience with dogs that have bad mannerisms, both the dog I am caring for and other dogs that may cross our path.

Rain went above and beyond, and was so thorough taking care of Skyler while we were on our honeymoon cruise for 12 days up in Alaska. The visit to visit updates and pictures that we would get were so helpful, and knowing that Skyler was in such good care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter would recommend rain to anyone who is in need of a pet sitter.
