“Christina B would make a responsible, loveable, pet caregiver. I've known her since she was a baby. Ever since she started walking, she was always stopping to pet a big, big or small and take pains to ask the owners permission to do so. Dogs and cats would follow her from school. When she finally had a dog of her own, she took time to train such dog as well as continuing to care for my "Chico" whenever possible. She is the most pet loving and caregiver I've ever had the pleasure to know. She would be a fantastic companion for any animal but I believe she truly loves all dogs!!”

About: I have been the animal lover of the family and am known for having many furry friends of my own but that isn’t enough for me and my job and free time have always revolved around taking care of animals of all types. I currently work at an animal shelter cleaning after, feeding and walking dogs of all ages with all types of different personalities. im very experienced with high energy dogs because of this job .I also walk and feed a black lab once a day ,7 days a week.I have multiple years of volunteer experience at a Educational nature center caring for wildlife and exotics such as opossums, sugar gliders ,tortoises ,doves ,geckos , chinchillas snakes ,quail and more I have school on mondays and wednesday nights so I am available those days before 5 and i have open availability the rest of the week I am very aware of how important routine is for pets and owners so I will keep a very routined day because it’s hard enough for them to be without their owners they need consistency with everything else such as medication,feedings and walks. I also would work on showing them affection if they’ll allow it to create trust and the safest environment for them.

About: Being around animals and making them feel happy is the best feeling to have. I have 2 dogs and cat, and they always manage to make my day. I have plenty of great places to adventure with your companion while you are busy! I have school online which makes me completely free! I am studying and practicing things that make me happy with my free time, (which there is plenty of) So, your dog/ cat will fit into my schedule perfectly! I live very close to many dog-friendly parks, and enjoy hiking, especially with a four-legged companion. I will take any opportunity to go on a long walk! It would be nice to take a dog with me sometime. I also bake, and have made dog treats for my Boston Terrier at home who might love peanut butter more than me... I'd love to share my hobbies with your pets!

“Christie K took awesome care of my baby Puggles while I went away for the weekend. She took her for walks and played with her. I was hesitant to go away and leave my baby but now that I found Christie K I can relax and enjoy going away again knowing my baby is being taken care of. She is the best. Carol A.”

“Richard is excellent caring for pets.. I have had him stay at my house on multiple occasions to care for my Dog, Nesta, who is a 80lbs Staffordshire Bull terrier, with high energy and special needs. Also my Cat, Ruby, who is much easier than Nesta. He is responsible for walking, feeding and caring for them for week long stays. He is extremely responsible, communicates well and has formed a special bond with both of them. I would recommend him highly for any situation that needed caring for pets. He is my go to if I’m ever going anywhere away from home because it’s very important the trust with pets and also with my home. He is also very friendly person and easy to get along with ..”

16. Christine D.
About: Check us out on Instagram! @PamperedPups_DoggieRetreat I created this account while looking for a drop in caretaker for my own pup. Since, I have started working from home and changed my account to become a sitter. I have loved being able to help someone else in need of the same services I was seeking and provide a trustworthy caretaker for their pup. It has been such a pleasure meeting & spending time with all the pups who have since stayed at my house. I know how important it is to make sure your dog is well taken care of during the times you're not able to be there for them. Being I work from home, my availability is super flexible. I would love to offer services to anyone who needs daytime/evening care or even an overnight stay for their dogs. I hope I am able to offer peace of mind to anyone else who was just like me and wondering how they would provide care for their dog when not home. I work from home so I have availability pretty much anytime during the day to help anyone local! I am also available evenings and weekends. And if you bring your pup over for Daycare or an Overnight Stay they will have company all day long :) I have a fully fenced in, locked at every access point, camered yard - you could say I'm a little obsessed with making sure my pup is always safe. I also live in a quiet neighborhood away from Main St. on a private road with lots of little beaches & bridges nearby for the perfect walk. I have a dog friendly pup to keep your dog company. However, if your dog is not dog friendly, I am also experienced in as I call it "musical dog shuffle" to ensure proper safety for both pups.

About: I love making food and treats for them. I enjoy interacting with all pets to see their personalities. I love to see them happy and playful. I'm currently working part-time on an open schedule, but I have plenty of time to tend to the pets and play with them. Both duties will not overlap. I have a fenced in yard for them to play around in and a little pool filled with balls and there's toys to play with
