Terry was absolutely incredible and took the best care of our 2 kitties when we went out of town! Daily pictures and videos, so many updates and great communication! I would give her even more stars if I could. We have never felt safer leaving our babies in another's hands, and we could not recommend her enough. She truly goes above and beyond. :)

Luie took SUCH great care of our 3 doggies! He sent a TON of pictures, which we greatly appreciated, and took care of our house as well! The dogs were excited to see us, but I think they were sad to see Luie go! We will definitely reach out to Luie in the future when we need exceptional care of our pets!

Samantha was such a great house sitter!! She stayed with my two beagles and geriatric cat for a full week. She successfully managed their shenanigans and was very communicative the whole time, sending me pictures and updates. She also took great care of the house. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!!

Ms.Liz was so great with my Bogart. I couldn't even believe that my Bogart gave him kissess and plays with her which means, Ms.Liz is kind and can be trusted. She even sent me pictures and videos that kept myself from worrying about my baby. Now I know which one to call and can leave my baby safely. Highly recommended.. Thanks again Ms.Liz for taking care of my boy.. Me and Elmar appreciate it sooooo much.. Thank you a million times..😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰

Samantha did such a great job with our 3 dogs! It was our first time ever leaving them with a sitter and I was especially nervous because one of them is still a puppy. But she eased our worries with how attentive she was and her communication. We were able to enjoy our vacation dog and stress free

About: I've always had at least one dog and one cat at all times. I currently have 2 dogs right now. I have experienced in giving pill and liquid meds to dogs. My one dog would always have to be given meds with something while my other one too with ease. I've had to help wrap my sister's dogs legs with her and by myself. My personal dog currently are a 1 year old 70 lbs lab mix (male) and a 95 lbs mastiff mix (male). My sister's dog is a 50 lbs boxer mix (female). My first dog was a 95 lbs rhodesian ridge back who died of sickness at age 13. And my second dog was a 95 lbs staffordshire terrier great dane mix who passed from cancer at age 9. And I've worked with dogs at under one but over 7 months. And I've worked with seniors. Nothing grosses me out in the sense of bodily fluids I can do all the normal. I currently have no job I'm a full time college student with some extra time on my hands. I'm looking to be able to help others and maybe have some fun with some pets. I can easily crate you dog or take them on a long walk. If your animal need meds as long as I know of them I can give it to them easily (ex. liquid or pill) unless I don't know how to ( ex. shots) then I will ask if you'd like to. If they need meds or food to be given a specific way like peanut butter with the pill or has a release command to get food. I'm willing to walk through the whole house as long as doors are unlocked and check for if they made a mess either vomit or poop or pee and pick it up. Blood does not gross me out and I'm willing to do anything for their safety.

Aiden loves animals and it’s evident by how he treats my dogs. My dogs love him and after walking them he takes time to just hang out with them. Aiden is trustworthy and has been a great help for my family. I have reached out at the last minute and he still showed up to walk my dogs!

Delany was an amazing help to us! We felt so at ease having her stay at our home and care for both our dog and cat. The house was tidy and she did everything we had requested. She sent daily pictures of both pets to know how they were doing.Her background as a vet tech gave us such a peace of mind! We would 100% seek her out again when we go away!

Aline is patient and loving. She has cared for her puppy for a year now while working long shifts. She still sets time to care for her dog and does everything to make him happy. She loves animals and dogs specifically. She would be a great sitter/walker! I highly recommend Aline.

Kacci is my "sister in law" and I have visited her house several times and she is such a loving and caring person. She would go above and beyond for anyone but especially for dogs! I would trust her with my fur babies anytime of the week.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I have always had at least on dog in the home. I have most experience with cats and dogs..I have had birds, an iguana, hamsters, ferrets, fish, cats and dogs I have experience with my own litters of puppies and kittens, from taking care of mamas pregnancy needs, delivery, to vaccines, spading and rehoming. I always say you don't neglect the Animals, children, elderly and handicap. They all hold a special place in my heart. Pet care is my daily life starting with my own. I wake up and go to bed each and everyday caring for and taking care of the needs of animals. My schedule is very flexible as I am a retired veteran looking for ways to make a few extra dollars and do what I love. My pets in my home have a fenced in yard and a dog door. They are on a schedule for feeding. There walks are not routined due to having a flex schedule. My dogs are always harnessed, collared and leashed for every walk. They know hand signals for communication and are trained to stay on their property line. I scout every noise and unusual action with my dogs so they know I am there protector. It is important that my pets know I protect them and take care of them. It is important that they know, I am here to keep them safe not the other way around. I think a lot of people get dogs to protect them. I'm opposite, my dogs are for cuddles, I don't need them to protect me.
