About: Ive taken care of dogs of all kind of breed since i was 16. From my neighbor, friends and family that have relied on me. I am currently a college student, but I have plenty of time to give your pups attention throughout the day. Im available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays, and I can also do longer visits on weekends. I am flexible and can adjust to your pets routine. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will get my full attention. I have a clean home and a safe backyard where dogs can relax and get fresh air while being supervised. I follow all routines exactly as I am told, I keep the gates and door secured and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for.

“Anne was so sweet and got a along great with my fur child. She showed up on time every day and took plenty of pictures of my kitten while the wife and I were away for 10 days. She was also very communicative. I felt very at ease. You can tell she truly loves and cares about animals. I would definitely use her again”

About: I've been obsessed with animals ever since I could remember wanting to bring home every stray I see. I've owned many different animals growing up and have always been very cautious of their care, and making sure they have the best food, the best care and the happiest life. I also have experience with small animals such as rabbits, hamsters, mice/rats, guinea pigs etc. and some exotics as well. I have two cats, Jack and Oliver who are absolutely very spoiled. I promise to provide the highest level of care for your family member. They will have a safe, fun, and engaging experience in my care, whether they're outgoing, or a little more on the tired side. I have basic first -aid experience with any age dogs and puppies. I also have simple command training experience if that is something you'd be interested in. Your pet will be treated as if it were my own, and I cant wait to meet him or her and give them a fun experience! I’m currently just enrolled in college and my classes are 100% online, this gives me a lot of extra free time to spend with your pets! I currently do not offer boarding services, since I have adopted two cats they’re not very keen on visitors just yet, it’s something I’m slowly getting them adjusted to!
About: I worked at a pet rescue for 2 1/2 years, as well as taking care of my two adorable kitties, bearded dragon, hamster, tarantula, and three fish tanks. At the rescue I took care of cats, dogs, horses, and a mule doing basic care like feeding and cleaning up after them as well as giving lots of love and attention. I also have experience giving medications and baths to both cats and dogs. I work full-time at Petco as an Animal Care Supervisor! I do work 5 days a week, full 8-9 hour days. I can get off as late as 9pm. I would of course be with your baby all night and any time I'm not at work! I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, walks, medications, litter or yard clean-up, and of course, quality time! I also respect the client’s home, ensuring it's left clean and secure after each visit.

About: My name is Edwin D Rodriguez I live with my mom and sister, I will would gladly take care of your furry friend, especially on the weekends. I would gladly take care of dogs, size from chihuahua to labrador. Size or breed of dog doesn’t matter when it comes to housesitting or daycare at my residence. I will do all I can to respond as soon as possible. I have been taking care of dogs for my family ever since I was a freshman in high school. We have a decent sized house, but not big for a Saint Bernard to live in, but we do have a big backyard. Possibly the biggest backyard in my entire neighborhood, if a dog is required walking I’ll be right on it. I’m currently going to college full time but I still find time to play, pet and feed the dogs everyday they are at my residence. House sitting is rare but whenever I do make sure the dogs are safe, secure and well fed. Also make sure the client’s house is well taken care of also.

“Alexee is so GREAT! She took very good care of my cat, and she was giving me nice updates every day with lots of pics. I will definitely contact her again to take care of my kitty!”

“Remy was very communicative before, during and after her drop-in visit for my dog. She is friendly and professional and I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you Remy!!”

I’m committed to providing the best care possible. 😊 My home is dog friendly with a doggy door, fence yard, carpet free, and cage free.
