About: My previous dog (black lab pictured) was 15 when she passed away and I had her for 14 years so I have been through all of the stages except early puppyhood. I volunteer for a local SPCA, as well as an animal sanctuary, so I have a wide range of experiences. I currently work from home so I am quite flexible with my schedule. I go for a walk every day, sometimes twice a day, so exercise is not a problem. Additionally, I enjoy going for hikes so if your fur baby like an outdoor adventure, all the better! I do not have a fenced in yard, so pet MUST behave relatively well on a leash as outdoor/potty time includes a walk. I do have two cats so dogs must be relatively respectful of cats.

I like to make sure the environment I'm in, is at the very least, comfortable for everyone. I am highly animal friendly and love all types of animals.

About: I love dogs they can tell. I have a boxer that enjoy running with and playing engaging games. I don't mind walking and running in winter weather.

Colleen C.
“Hello, I have two dogs, one cat. Colleen has been taking care of them for years. (about 10 years). I travel frequently. Whenever I make plans to go away, I call her first. She comes to the house, takes great care of them. That makes for stress free travel for me because I know she will do a wonderful job. In fact, my animals love her. She often stops when I am home to take the dogs for a walk or to spend time with my cat. She is trustworthy, hard working and she loves animals and they love her. I would have no problem recommending her to anyone. You may give my name and telephone number to anyone interested in a personal recommendation. Barbara P”

Madison G.
“Ivan is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever met and so good with animals! I don't trust my pets with many people, especially since my older dog has on set dementia/ health issues and doesn't like people but he loved Ivan instantly. Ivan has stayed in my home and taken care of my 3 pets like they are their own and given them the love and care they needed. I trust Ivan fully with my babies. And Ivan is one sitter I would highly recommend! The compassion they have for animals is unmatched!”

Michayla G.
“Michayla is exceptional. She goes above and beyond in every situation with my pet. I’ve had her help with my dog on numerous occasions, from nail clipping to walking to house sitting. He’s a very anxious dog with separation anxiety and she does a great job soothing him and keeping him calm. I’d recommend her anytime to anyone. She’s capable of handling any type of animal and situation that may arise. Me and my puppy are both anxiously waiting for the next walk!”
