“Ivy did an amazing job with Milo. He loved her. She made the time and effort to come meet him before his first appointment with him. I will definitely be booking her again.”
2. Suzie H.
“Just finished our first three days and Suzie is doing a great job with our two dogs. They warmed up to her right away and are so excited to see her. Suzie is handling our nervous mix wonderfully. I’m confident and comfortable with Suzie’s ability to handle both dogs in a neighborhood with lots of other dog walkers. Knowing the pups are in capable hands brings or family great comfort ❤️👍🐕🐶👏”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my loving ,caring, compassionate, kindness towards animals. As I have two lovely bunnies that took lots of bonding and trusting I feel confident with my love for animals. My skills are to always make sure pets feel loved and cared for and given the needs they need from feeding to playing to walking to cuddling and make sure they feel super happy as there owner is absent but also being able to clean there needs such as litter boxes to poopie . This is why I believe I would be a wonderful animal babysitter since I have taken care of many animals such as newborns to puppies to big doggies or any type of animal:) Pet care fits in to my schedule perfectly as I’m in college from 10:30 to 12:35 from MTWT I have the rest of the day and mornings before class to pet care and weeks full ability I care very deeply for my animals at home as in my home I have lovely doggies they aren’t mine but my sisters or parents I will still care for them whenever they can’t, like babysitting. From feeding to playing to cuddles to anything I make sure they have fun. From my own pets I am a lovely mom to two bunnies who get so much attention and love and playtime and bonding time to trust as bunnies take lots of patients and love so I would be willing to baby animal sit :)
