Sterling was a fantastic dog sitter. It was our first time leaving the country without our pups and we were naturally a little nervous. Sterling took both great care of our fur babies aswell as our home. He was extremely responsive and sent us plenty of photos and videos of our pups on walks and relaxing at home. We will absolutely be trusting our dogs with Sterling again, giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away while being confident that they are in safe hands. Thank you Sterling!!🐶🐶🐾

Brandy did a great job caring for our dogs. She stayed with them the entire time we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciated her reliability and dedication.

Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.

She was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isn’t booked up.

About: I have been surrounded with dogs since I was born! My family had a golden retriever when I was younger, and we currently have an 11-year old corgi mix, an 8-year old labradoodle, and a 5-year old golden retriever. Finnley, the five year old golden, is my personal dog who I trained, walked, cleaned up after, and took care of. In addition, I lived with a 3-year old boxer last year who I helped take care of and spent a lot of time with. Besides my personal pet experience, I volunteered at the Partners for Pets shelters multiple times where I took care of dogs and cats. I also frequently take advantage of the Adopt a Dog for a Day option at the Oxford Animal Rescue Center whenever I feel overwhelmed or have a free day. Besides volunteering, I had a personal business at 15/16 where I watched both kids and animals for families in my neighborhood. I took care of multiple breeds and ages of dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. My availability is completely open until June 1st, when I will start a part time job at WashU! With that said, I am still available any weekday after 4, and all day Saturday and Sunday!! At my house, all of my dogs are trained to stay in the yard. All three get treats when they come in (because they are such good boys) and are fed twice daily. My older dog has gum issues that makes his teeth painful to use, so I put his food in water and let it soften so he is able to eat it pain-free. For walks, the two big dogs go on a joint leash and the smaller dog goes on a leash by himself. Distance wise, I take into account if the ground is hot on their paws and the temperature outside to determine how long the walk will be. We love to go to dog parks and play, as well as cuddle and lay out in the sun together.

About: I started my care for animals 22 years ago in a non profit animal shelter. Since then I’ve been able to gain my experience through many different roles within the field of non profit shelter work and finally working up to a vet tech. I’ve been able to use the skills of vet tech in shelter as well as a private practice for the past 10 years. I’ve handled everything from neonates who need round the clock assistance to senior pets who need special medications/care or even I pets that are diabetic and need insulin. I’m an avid animal lover and protecter. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule so fitting in pet care is usually no issue. Whether dropping off pets in the morning or in the evening for boarding, drop ins, walks, dog/cat sitting, I will make sure scheduling is accommodating so that every pet I care for gets the proper love, care, and attention they need. 😁❤️ I care for pets the same as if they are my own. They will be let out to potty every 2-4 hours. I have dogs and cats in my household so they would need to be friendly with other pets but I’m alway good with sitting at your home as well. I will treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I can accommodate a pet that needs to be crated as well.

About: I have dog/cat and house sat since I turned 16! I started taking care of one dog in my neighborhood at 16 and then started getting more clients when I went to the gym as these people heard and trusted me. I have dogsat for numerous of families over the years and still continue to do so. One client I have been dogsitting for the whole 7 years. I have the experience to give dogs medicine, bathe them, daily walks(pick up poop), fill up food and water bowls, clean up accidents in the house and of course treats and playtime! I have another job so Im consistent with letting them out for potty or feeding time every 4-8 hours. I love taking them for car rides and going to parks for walks, and pup cups! Im very good with following a detailed schedule/list and any specific needs for the dog. Your pet is my number one priority! I have pets of my own so taking care of an animal comes very easy for me. For dog,cat/house sitting, I will spend as much time with your dog/cat until I have to go to work and my jobs are pretty flexible so I can stop by on break(depending location) but im consistent with potty/feeding time every 4-8 hours. I am more than happy to stay at your home and be with your animal 24/7! I care for my cats by giving them cuddles and the love they deserve. I clean up after them as well as clean them. My cats love treats so when they hear that temptation bag they come running! In my clients home I make sure their companion gets fed on time and always has water in their water bowl. I also always make sure they get all the pets and cuddles as they want making sure they feel loved and not lonely(as they are missing their parents). I provide a comforting environment for them to make them feel safe with me. Hanging out with them is a priority! I will also make sure their space is well kept.

Zoe was awesome. 10/10 definitely would recommend. She sent updates on my pup and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. She stayed at my house with Beau and left my home exactly as she found it. I can't say enough great things. Beau has found a new best friend and can't wait til she comes and stays with him again!
