Amber was an exceptional pet sitter! She arrived early and was consistently punctual, which gave me great peace of mind. She spent lots of quality time with my animals and kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, such a thoughtful touch that made me feel even more at ease. Everything went smoothly with no issues at all, and her easygoing nature made the whole experience stress-free. I’ll absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!

About: Hi there! My name is Kevin and I’ve been dog walking and dog sitting for over 10 years. In my experience pet sitting, I would take the dogs on long walks, play fetch, go to a park or even on runs depending on how active the dog is. I would also go over for drop in feedings and bathroom breaks. I’ve been told plenty of times how I must be a dog whisperer since all dogs would gravitate towards me and love me! I am a flight attendant and my schedule will vary monthly but I tend to have mostly similar days & times off with my seniority. I am flexible job permitting and will always find time throughout my schedule to stay active which will be perfect for your dog to accompany on walks. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs. I always do whatever the pet parents request before leaving (leave dog in designated area of the house, wipe feet before entering back into the house, etc.)

Wonderful!!! The boys (senior Shih Tzu’s) were so happy and well taken care of with Lisa and Michael. The updates were much appreciated and the cute photos were an added bonus! My first time leaving the boys in the care of someone new and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The house was left sparkling clean and pee pads (and misses) were all taken care of and I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free! Thank you!!!

About: I am very used to large dogs since I have two at home. I know how to clean animals ears and clip nails. I also know how to administer oral medication. Im currently going to college to become a veterinarian so im looking for a little gig where i can take care of animals. I also have a part time job but still have plenty of free time to take care of some adorable caring animals. I sadly can not bring pets into my home but will gladly take care of them at yours. Just tell me if there is anything specific for your animal and we’ll take it from there.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, both small and big! I absolutely love furry friends and have one of my own. I have a small, older cockapoo named Riley and I’ve taken care of him since he was a puppy and I was in 8th grade - I actually had to pitch an entire care plan to let my mom allow me to have him! I work entirely from home and have a calm, quiet environment. I work entirely from home and have breaks throughout the day where I’d be able to play with your furry friend! I work both during the day and overnight, and will be able to tend to your dogs needs hourly at the very least! I have a fenced yard and a small cockapoo who is calm and friendly. I have a small crate as well if that is supportive for your pup! My home is calm and stress-free. You can count on regular updates, photos, and honest communication while your pup is in my care!

Donald is very reliable! When I realized my 4 month old puppy needed a different schedule than I thought he adjusted the time he came and added an extra drop in a day to make sure our girl was well taken care of. He is always on time, and gives our puppy his full attention. I think they are going to be best friends quick. Will definitely continue to work with Donald. It is a big relief knowing she’s taken care of while I’m at work.

Dyese was great with our cat, Earl. She did daily home visits while we were away, which included feeding him, changing his litter, and keeping him company. Dyese gave us photo updates and detailed summary of her visit each time. It was great knowing he was in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up caring for a variety of animals, from dogs to reptiles, which has given me a genuine love for being around all kinds of pets. I also have experience pet sitting for family and friends, including taking dogs on walks, doing daily check-ins, and providing overnight care. As a college student home for summer break, I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to easily work around my daily responsibilities to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and companionship for pets throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. During walks and check-ins, I provide pets with attention, exercise, fresh water, feeding if needed, and plenty of care and companionship. I also make sure owners stay updated and feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.

About: My fiancé has been a pet groomer for 18 years and started a grooming business (Krystal’s Klassy Kutz) in our home a few years ago which has been thriving! Always being around the pups that come to our home for grooming services inspired me to also work with dogs. I started only with her clients but decided to branch out and offer my services to all. I can provide up to date references upon request. Your dog is never left alone. Someone is always home. I’m also available for home visits. You can contact me 24/7 I’m always available for you. Completely fenced in, private yard for your pup’s safety. Plenty of play time throughout the day. Paws n claws on TV all of the time!

Fantastic care for unusual animals. Amanda was so diligent with the feeding needs of my turtle. She even volunteered a lettuce leaf as a snack. She took great care of the fish without overfeeding and provided medical care for one of them. Then she very kindly agreed to water my plants. Pictures and videos everyday. Lots of communication. I will absolutely use her again and you should too. If she does this well with a turtle, imagine how great you'll be with your cats and dogs.
