About: I was raised with dogs, having helped train my grandparents German Shepherds and walked my aunts rescue Pitties since I was 12. I've been my family and friends go-to pet sitters since 16. As a recent graduate, my schedule remains clear as I apply to jobs in my field. I actively fill this time with caring for pets of all kinds! I plan to continue sitting and caring for pets regardless of my future. All care instructions are followed to a T. Any questions or problems I have are quickly delivered to pet parents (though I try to ask all my questions before sitting starts.) I also have experience in cleaning fur baby caused messed of any kind on any surface?

Nataliia was fantastic. She came to my home twice a day to take care of my two kitties. One of my cats has a thyroid medicine she takes daily. And the cats eat separate foods. She navigated the medicine and the foods, sent tons of picture updates, and was consistent with the kitties all week. She was thorough about asking questions and visiting the kitties before we decided to have her be our sitter. I would 100% have her help us out when she travels! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛❤️

About: My family has had dogs my entire childhood and currently have 2 of my own and they bring such joy to one's day. One of my dogs is 14yrs old so I have experience in caring for older pets and my other dog is a couple years old with a ball of energy so if you have pets with high energy, I'm very prepared to either know how to calm them down or match their energy for a day of fun! I work a 9-5 M-F but I'm happy to stop by after work for feeding, walks, or quality hang-out time. On weekends, I'm fully available and ready to be your pets best friend! I take the time to follow all care instructions to a tee and will be respectful of your home keeping everything clean and organized while you're away. Sadly, I'm not able to bring pets back to where I live, as one of my dogs get anxious around other pets, but I'm more than happy to provide care in your home with my drop-in visits which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy and comfortable in a familiar space. I'm available mostly on the weekends as I work a full time job but I can drop in for feeding after work during the week. If your dog needs to be in a crate after visits, I can make sure to do that. I bring a very calm energy so if your pets have any kind of anxiety, I can always make them comfortable and calm them down to reassure them that they are safe and cared for.

About: I’ve had a dog for 8 years now. I trained her when she was a puppy and make sure to always do research on what’s best for her when it comes to food, health decisions or anything else. I regularly administer medications to my dog. I love all types of pets and bring 100% effort to everything I do! I’m currently working part time and am in college, this leaves me with plenty of time to help you care for your furry friends when you aren’t home. My availability is usually between 12-3 on M/W and then anytime after 4:30, weekends usually anytime before 3pm I remain calm and patient when working with pets. I also can earn their trust and get them into a crate if needed. When outside their safety would be my first priority.

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!

About: Taken care of different breeds, small and big dogs, cats and small critters. Trained dogs used for disabilities. I walk small dogs with a harness only, and don’t allow them to jump from high places, due to their tiny bones. I make sure they are secured before opening any door where they might run off. I have an Instagram page where I upload dogs I meet , dogs I take care of or watch , dogs that were placed in safe homes. I will take photos to give updates. Can change day to day but if notified ahead of time , can usually work around my schedule. I do check my texts and email if something changes. My dogs are sociable, always keeping an eye out, they are like little kids. There is currently a Japanese Chin, Shitzu, Pekingese, Saint Bernard, a cat, a bird and 3 guinea pigs, in the home.

About: I worked in the animal field for 13 years as a veterinary technician and have 8 years of pet sitting experience. I currently work as a nanny during the week. All my life I have had cats, dogs, birds, and various other animals as companions. I understand how difficult it can be to leave our family members behind when we travel or have to be at work long hours. I am an active individual who loves to give love to dogs and cats. I currently work full time 8-5 as a nanny. So you may need someone to come mid day if your doggo needs a midday potty break. Weekends are typically free and flexible. I can follow any instructions left for your pets. Needing walks? Have a fenced in yard? Special feeding instructions? Medications? Not a problem for me! I’ve had experience in all ages of animals and understand the needs of young and old.

About: Not only have I cared for other people's animals, but I have a furry friend of my own. I know what it takes to love and care for our little family members, and I know what an owner would expect from a caregiver. I take time out of every day to ensure my dog has the best possible care I can provide, and I'll give the same effort to your pet. I have always felt a special bond to animals. At a young age I started caring for animals and slowly gaining more responsibility over their care. I have left food out and changed litter boxes for cats while owners are away, and stayed over for multiple days to care for rescue dogs who needed the company and support while their owner's were away. I work 100% from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am a professional and already use my break times to get outside and take walks / go to parks, so getting your pet exercise is not an issue. I defer to the requests and comfortability of each client. Every pet is unique, and I want to give the best possible care for each furry friend.

10/10!! Ally took the time to come meet my pup Jax prior to her first visit so we made sure he and she were comfortable! She takes him on adventures to different parks and bodies of water so he can let his energy out while his momma works! And she is always sure to send pictures, videos, and all updates! Happy pup, happy life!
