She has a natural connection with animals and takes amazing care of her own pets. When she’s cared for my pets, she’s been responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to their needs. She also sends updates, which makes being away from them so much easier. Whether she’s following specific instructions or just giving extra love, she does it all with care.

About: I’ve had my Maltipoo since I was 12 and he’s been with me through every thing even college so I understand the difficulty of finding someone you trust to watch your fur babies. He doesn’t have any eyes and hasn’t for the last 4 years so that’s an added challenge and I want to be able to provide others with quality dog watching they can trust just like I look for when hiring someone for my dog. I’ve been dog sitting for about 10 years and can provide references. I’ve been flown to different states to house and dog sit for families because they knew they could trust me. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so it makes it easy to provide care for different schedules and needs! I have a fenced yard with a pool and considering my dog can’t see I’m typically supervising outside time and my other dog is very anxious to be alone so I am used to being there when pets are outside. My home is dog friendly considering I have 2 dogs myself, one small dog and one medium dog. Both dogs get along well with people and other dogs and have had dogs stay with us and we haven’t had issues yet!


18. Lauren B.
“Lauren’s work ethic and love for pets will be an asset to your company. She’s volunteered at several pet adoption centers. She’s reliable, honest and detail oriented.”


19. Sofina H.
“Sofina is awesome! She let my dog out for me while I was away of vacation. She made sure our family dog well taken care of and everything was done to the smallest detail. I would highly recommend her to watch your dog.”


20. Maxwell R.
“Max has been a dog lover from the time he was a young boy. He has taken care of many dogs, including his own Vizsla, Izzy. He has worked wth dogs big and small, and has experience working with service dogs. He is attentive and responsible, and easily will become your pet's new friend!”
