About: I’ve had dogs in my home all my life. I’ve taken care of them and cherished them. I love playing with them and taking them for walks. I love all dogs of all sizes. Im a proud mom of three dogs; two labradoodles and one schnauzer! I am currently in school, but my schedule is mostly open! If your pet can be at home alone for a few hours then we will be a perfect match!! I’m very comfortable with whatever you prefer for your pet. Leaving at somewhat detailed instructions would be ideal. If you own cats I will scoop the litter box if needed. I will always contact you if I don’t understand something so you can rest assured that everything is being done correctly.

About: Since I was raised on a farm, I’ve always been surrounded by numerous animals. I’ve loved every second of it. Animals are my everything. 🫶🏻 I’m doing online schooling currently so it fits in my schedule perfectly! 100% of my time can go to your dogs or cats instead. 😊 I live in an apartment so I will have to take them on walks around the neighborhood. I also have a dog of my own to accompany them and make them feel a little more comfortable with the new surroundings.

She has this incredible ability to connect with animals, making them feel at ease and loved.

It is clear that she isn’t just doing a job she really cares, and that makes all the difference. I could not recommend her enough!”
14. Anna H.
“Anna is an incredibly kind and loving person, not only to people but to animals and pets of all kinds. She volunteers at the Oktibbeha Humane Society and is trusted amongst many friends and coworkers to watch and care for their pets while away. Anna is, most impressively, very diligent, orderly and hard working. I would have no concerns for her to follow and observe instructions and schedules for my pets. She is beyond capable and qualified to walk your furry friends. Not further brag on her abilities, but she has many times in her life taken in and raised stray animals in desperate need to become happy and healthy. She simply has an unmatched love for animals.”

“If your thinking about hiring a dog sitter, Erin is the one for the job. She is very compassionate about animals. She works for a vet clinic and has a lot of experience with animals.
