“Breana is awesome! She sent us lots of pictures and details about her visits. Our dogs were cared for very well while we were gone! We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much for taking care of our babies!”
“Denise has been patient with Willow Moon’s “work for my trust” attitude. She finally gave her the belly. I’ve been waiting for that moment. I definitely trust her with my baby, she is Willow Approved, and that’s not an easy approval to get.”
“Anne is amazing! She was very communicative, reliable, friendly and trustworthy! Not everybody can handle our six furry ones but she mastered it like a pro! Will be using her from now on any time we need to travel ?”
“Tiffany was amazing!! She went above and beyond while caring for my dog. She stayed longer than needed and even came early due to weather concerns. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a dog sitter/walker!”
“Our sitter was friendly and quick to respond, which I appreciated. However, some important tasks were missed, such as refilling the cats’ water fountain (which was found completely empty when I got home) and cleaning around the litter box. Visits were very short and at inconsistent times without communication, which made me anxious while traveling.”
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve volunteered at the humane society to walk big dogs and help get them adopted. My last dog was a bull terrier who lived to be 16 and he was my first baby. Bull terriers and Great Danes are a unique breed but so much fun and it brings me so much joy to be around animals and help them in anyway I’m a stay at home mom and a retired Marine veteran. I have nothing but time during the week to help out and possibly weekends depending on the date and time. I can crate them if need be, walk, play, feed, bathe and watch over your pet drop off at doggy day care or play at the dog park if they’re up for it! I’m experienced in large strong breeds as well as tiny little guys!
“Tonya was great. She took pictures and sometimes video everyday to make me feel at ease. She even got under the bed to give my scared cat attention. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Angela was very communicative while checking on my cat and even went so far as to bring in packages when my mail hold didn't take! Lovely sitter and I'll definitely be using her again.”
“As always, Kiersten took the best care of our pups and was sure to send very detailed check in notes and pictures, even voluntarily carried in delivered packages - She always goes above and beyond!🩷”
“Lisa was great! I could tell the kitties loved her because they were calm and relaxed when we returned. This was our first time working with Lisa but I will be reaching out to her again for sure.”
About: Hi! I'm Lydia. I'm a former zookeeper and animal trainer living in Panama City, FL. I have always loved animals and I've had pets my whole life. I currently have a cat and a parrot. I've cared for lots of different types of animals, from fur to feathers and beyond, so if you have other pets that need care while you're away, I'm your girl! I'm also comfortable caring for dogs that need medication or have special needs, blind, deaf, etc. I’m not able to provide boarding but I'm happy to stay with your pet in your home. I promise I will take great care of your fur babies while you're away. Lots of love is guaranteed! I’m currently between jobs so my schedule is flexible. If and when that changes, my updated availability will be reflected in the app. Thank you for understanding. Establishing trust between myself, the dog, and the owner is critical, which is why I require a meet and greet before accepting any new clients. It’s important for me to understand your dog’s routine and environment so I can provide quality, consistent care to them while you’re away.
“Best dog sitter we have ever used so professional sweet caring and will take care of your dogs like her own ! She has so much knowledge and attention to detail will definitely use her again”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family. I am in the Army National Guard and have childcare experience, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive. I am very loving and kind, and I naturally connect well with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets. I work weekdays from 2 to 8, which allows me to be available for morning, midday, and overnight pet care. I have National Guard training one weekend each month, but I am available every other weekend to care for your pets. When caring for clients’ pets, I learn their routine and follow instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and exercise based on their needs. I am happy to walk or jog with dogs and always create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you are away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bath, and care for their fur babies while they were away! My family has an Irish setter named Lucy and I have a tuxedo kitty named Boo. I love both of them to death! I treat my animals as they are my children and give them all the love and attention in the world, as well as treating every animal as my own child. I’m here to make sure you aren’t worried about your pet while you are out of town, as they will be in good hands! I am currently a full time college student, however all of my classes are online expect two, which meet in person on two days for about an hour. This gives me great flexibility to work with your schedule and needs! I can easily do whatever is needed of me regarding your pets! I assure you I have done it all, such as crating your dog or giving them any sort of medicine.
About: I have watched dogs, cats, and reptiles. I can administer medication if need be and/or put diapers on the animal if told they have to wear them. I work/school from my computer so I can be with them a majority of the time, and they will not be lonely ❤️ I can keep up with their routine whether it’s with their potty breaks or meals and medications(if they have any). If you have a fenced in yard I will let them roam out there, unless specifically told different. If walks are needed for overnight stays, I am more than happy to walk them instead of let out in the yard, just let me know😊 I do not watch animals in my home, but in the pets home only. I do make sure they will not get out of the fence or door in your home.
