9. Riddhi P.
About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.

17. Mary M.
About: Hi, my name is Mary and I’m 25 years old. I’m a huge fan of all animals, I currently have 6 cats and in the past have owned goats, pigs, and cattle. I definitely have a lot of experience with animals. I recently graduated with my animal science degree and I’m now on the track to become be a veterinarian. I figured this would be a great opportunity for me to earn some money while working with animals. I have pet sit in the past for former teachers and friends which is why I figured I would give this a shot.Your animals will be in great hands and would give me an idea of what it would be like to work with animals everyday. I am currently not working so I will be able to give all the attention and love your furry baby will need. I will be home all day for the most part. I have an open yard where I can keep the dogs on a leash so they can go potty. Also have fenced dog park in my apartment complex that I can take them too to play I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to take care of all types of fur babies. Your pet will be well taken care of. I have five cats that grew up with dogs and are very friendly. Your animal would be safe and welcomed in my home or yours.


18. Tucker B.

“Tucker and his girlfriend kept my dogs safe and happy! They even extended the stay at the last minute! Thank you so much for taking care of our dogs!”


19. Caleb & Nicholas G.
About: I have a lifetime of experience with pets! I've lived with cats and dogs for as long as I can remember and currently live with 6 animals.
