About: I am an active human and love the companionship of dogs for walks and hikes, as well as a snuggle on the couch. I have cared for puppies as well as senior dogs. I am currently unemployed and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule as well as appreciate the routine of pet care to help me build routine of my own in this moment of unemployment. It is important for me to learn before caring for a pet about their quirks and it is my goal to build trust both with you and your furry friend
“Deanna is absolutely wonderful! She has such a warm, calm energy which is an ideal for animal care. I never have to worry when I leave my dog as she is very equipped to deal with anything that may arise. My dog becomes very relaxed in her care. I will continue to schedule house sitting with Deanna moving forward without a doubt.”
“Emily exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I met Emily, I could tell that she had a genuine love for dogs. She was friendly, caring, and asked all the right questions to ensure she could provide the best care possible for my pups. During the time that I was away, Emily kept me updated with daily messages and photos, which made me feel so much better knowing that my dogs were in good hands. When I returned home, my dogs were relaxed and happy, which was a clear indication that they had been well-cared for during my absence. I was impressed by the level of attention and care that Emily had provided, from feeding my dog on time to taking him for regular walks and giving him plenty of love and affection. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone who is looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Her love for dogs is evident in the way she treats them, and she is incredibly responsible and attentive to their needs. I have already booked her for my next trip, and I know that my dogs are in the best hands possible with Emily. Thank you, Emily, for taking such great care of my dogs!”
“Dakota did great with my very anxious, fear-aggressive dog. He also kept the puppy on a great house training routine. Dakota responded quickly and was available on short notice.”
“Danielle was an amazing sitter - both of my dogs loved her from the start, and when I got back after five days away it was like they hadn’t minded my being gone at all. Would recommend Danielle’s services to anyone!”
“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Magdalena stayed for six days to care for and cuddle my dog Nellie and cat Olive. She communicated and provided updates and photos daily. It was reassuring to know she was there to keep my pets safe, fed and loved while we were away. I highly recommend Magdalena for all your pet care needs. I will be booking her again in the future!”
About: I have been dog sitting and housesitting for the past five years. I have a lot of experience in senior animals as well as animals with special needs. I am very reliable, respectful, and understanding when it comes to housesitting and pet sitting. I have a lot of experience and will always try to accommodate you and your animals the best that I possibly can! I am currently looking for colleges as a graduate of a dual enrollment program! I graduated in 2022 with a high school diploma along with an associate’s degree in undecided! I have a total open schedule when it comes to pet sitting! I will always make it my number one priority to make sure your animals feel safe and comfortable with me. Being away from owners can be stressful enough, that’s why I always make sure they are happy and comfortable while missing you! Any rules you ask of me to follow, will be followed! I am very understanding and very open to just about anything. :)
“Amanda was AMAZING for our house sitting booking. She took such good care of our pitbull and cat. She really connects with animals and they absolutely love her. Our cat, who normally hates strangers and always hides, was curled up on her lap by the first night. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“We found Christopher to be very reliable and caring while pet sitting our two Australian Shepherds, Winston and Ruby. Winston is on several meds for pancreatitis and is a challenge when he does not want to take his meds. Winston became ill and Chris phoned us right away. Chris was able to handle the situation in getting Winston out of pain in a matter of a few minutes. By the time we got back home, Winston was his old self again. Thank you, Chris! We would highly recommend Christopher for any pet sitting. He truly loves animals and has a caring heart.”
“Darcy was great! Highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 7. In my house hold we currently have three dogs and three cats. The cats all behave and I’ve taught the dogs various proper behaviors and tricks. I’ve helped watch new born puppies as well as older dogs and I’m very confident with taking care of any animal. I’m currently working a part-time along with college but I am completely free all day on Thursdays and Fridays to take care of your animals! Everyone handles their pets differently so I can just stick with the routine you currently have with your pets so as to not confuse them!
