About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 17 for family and friends. I've grown up with cats and dogs at home. My family and I still have pets, I love them dearly. I work full-time but I can still manage house sitting, walking and drop in visits. I have weekends off and also every Wednesday off. I recently house sat my friend and their dog Sadie. When house sitting, I make sure I know where everything is for the animals. Once I arrive, if it's a dog, I make sure they get outside to potty. Clean up any messes. Feed them and spend some quality time with them.
About: I would take care of your pets with the same love that I have for my own! This includes feeding, playing, walking, administering medication, and cleaning their space. I have a very flexible weekday work schedule, and I am able to work around your needs. I’m also available every weekday, and on weekends as well. I will follow the routine that you have set up, and check in with you regularly. Rest assured, your pet is in safe hands with me!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly feel at home around animals. Right now, I have a sweet 7-month-old kitten named Milly, and I regularly dogsit for my family. That includes my parents' two yellow labs, Gracie and Kellie, and my sister’s black lab, Gudda. I work from home, so I am very flexible and dependable. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnights, and longer stays depending on your needs. I make it a point to give each pet the attention and love they deserve like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow routines, keep their space clean and calm, and make sure they’re always supervised. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect as my own.
About: I have volunteered with dogs for about 5-6 years, including with large dogs and reactive dogs. I also pet sit my friends' dogs. For me, spending time with animals is therapy. I would love to give your dog all the attention they deserve during my visits. Whether it's long walks, snuggle time or a check-in, I will make sure your pet gets the best love and care! I work full-time but my job is flexible. I'm available for drop-ins, overnight stays and walks. The end of the week and weekends are the most open for me. I cannot pet sit at my apartment, but I am comfortable staying in others' homes. This is how I pet sit for my friends. This also helps with pets' comfort, I think.

8. Carla A.
“Carla took care of my 3 year old German Shepard, Raylan, while my family and I were on vacation. He is a little tricky and rambunctious, so its important that whover cares for him is a good fit. Carla was amazing! She obviously has a natural affinity for animal care, as she was firm yet super friendly. Raylan was well behaved for her and by the end of the trip he was all tail wags and doggy kisses! She walked, fed, and played with him- no easy task with a large German Shepard on the leash, and who has a tendency for food aggression. As loyal as German Shepards are for those they consider theirs- I think he was truly sad to see her go!”
