“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and wanted to get involved with them in any way via Animal Shelters, Vet schools, externships at Veterinarian clinics, sitting for friends and family, and now here😊 this is a great step for me to continue to get acquainted with the furry friends in our community and further expand my experience and knowledge on each and every pet baby out there because as a fellow pet parent I would want my baby in the best hands as well❤️ I’m home all week and not only have the space and time but as well as the joy of caring for a new furry friend! At home my doggo sleeps in my room and plays in the yard most of the day, she has a crate in the garage where she has access to for naps throughout the day and gets fed once in the morning and before bed an hour after her daily evening walk. Depending on what the owner’s needs are for their pets I can easily adjust my routine or schedule to better match their furry babies👍🏽 We’re very flexible with our routines and schedules and love to switch things up!😊
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.
“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it.

I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”
“Josie took great care of Misha! Our meet up before this booking confirmed that her dog Nala and my dog Misha would be able to get along.

My dog loved his stay with Amy. She sent daily photo updates. He really seemed to love Amy and her dogs and came home happy and healthy. Amy was great at communicating and even took him on for a few extra days when my plans changed. I will def have Buckley stay with Amy again!”

About: I’ve had cats as pets since I was about five years old. I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to their behaviors, mood, and needs. I’ve had kittens to senior cats in my life. Cats are very special to me, I have a Maine coon and a Bengal currently that are my babies.
About: I grew up in a house full of animals and have been caring for dogs and cats ever since. I understand how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I make it my priority to follow their routines and keep them comfortable. My experience includes: - Senior pets who need slower-paced care and extra attention - Puppies and younger dogs who need training reinforcement and boundaries - Shy or anxious pets who take time to warm up - Cats with specific feeding schedules, litter preferences, or medical needs - Multi-pet households where each animal has different requirements I take this work seriously because I know what your pet means to you. When you book with me, you're not getting someone who's just going through the motions. You're getting someone who will care for your dog or cat the way they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm home most of the day. That gives me time to: - Take dogs on multiple walks or play sessions throughout the day - Keep cats on their normal feeding and playtime routines - Stay present for pets who need companionship or have separation anxiety I can adjust my availability based on your needs, whether that's overnight stays, drop-in visits, or regular walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home: - I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walk routes, medication schedules, bedtime habits - I keep doors and gates secure, especially with escape-prone cats or anxious dogs - I send updates and photos so you know how things are going - I treat your home with respect and leave it the way I found it In my home: - Clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and windows - Separate areas for pets who need their own space (especially important for cats) - Comfortable sleeping areas, fresh water, and plenty of playtime or downtime based on what they prefer When you trust me with your pet, I take that seriously. They get the same care, consistency, and attention I'd give my own. No exceptions.

About: Throughout high school and college, I often helped out friends and neighbors by dog sitting when they couldn't take their pets on trips. I’m a huge dog lover, and I really adore all kinds of pets. Over the years, I've earned the complete trust of my friends and neighbors when it comes to looking after their pets and homes. They know they can count on me to provide loving care and ensure everything is safe and sound while they're away. I am currently working at a mental health facility. I work 3:00 pm Sun-Wed. Although I am full time I am always happy to lean a hand. Free on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays as well. I am also willing to Sundays off! I was born and raised in the Central Valley. Growing up on a farm made me exposed to many animals and I grew immense love for them. I had a wonderful time taking care of my beloved pets: a Labrador, German Shepherd, Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua. They were all my babies, and I also had a horse that I adored. I'm a huge animal lover, and I miss them every day now that they are living with my older sister.
“Chichi had a drop-in visit with my dog in anticipation of walking him daily for a couple of weeks. I was impressed by her experience with reactive dogs. She was not at all put off by my dog's fearful reaction to a new person and I am happy to have found someone who understands dog psychology.”
About: My name is Daisy and I’ve always owned animals. I worked as ranch hand caring for large animals and then moved down to the smaller sector. I work as a veterinary assistant and have been there for two years. I’m a very active person and I love spending time outdoors with my pets. I have trained all of my animals and I foster pets as well. The care I give my own pets will be the same I give to yours. I work in the veterinary field and I am currently studying animal science too! I can’t imagine a life not working with animals! Every morning I wake up and tend to all my fur babies, and then get ready to go treat and love on our client’s pets. I also started my own business which involves massage therapy for horses! Every pet matters. Your pets will be treated the same way I would want mine treated. I have knowledge on quality pet care which gives owners a peace of mind when trusting their fur babies with me.

“Morgan did an amazing job watching my puppy! She kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy was very spoiled, she even came home with the cutest bandana and a handwritten thank you note, which was such a thoughtful touch. Morgan truly went above and beyond, and it shows how much she genuinely cares. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my step daughter. We usually have her Wednesday-Thursday, Friday-Monday. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. Our step daughter loves animals and loves to help care for ours. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.
“Forrest is the REAL dog whisperer! Our girls had a great time with Forrest - and made sure to tell him (a LOT - all day). We really liked the photos he sent us and how flexible he was with our crazy schedule. We look forward to booking him again tomorrow for our next tour of Yosemite.”

About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals. I have dreamed of working with animals since I was young. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am experienced in providing oral medications for dogs as well. Many friends and family members have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and take care of their pets. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available everyday of the week to walk, dog sit (daily care or overnight), feed and play with your pets. I am also available during the weekends. My listing states I need two days in advance for a booking, but I understand sometimes things come up that we do not expect and people need services last minute. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out. Safety is my number one priority. We live on two and a half acres and have a lot of room for animals to play and explore. I do not leave my dogs unattended outside and I would not leave your dog alone outside either. I am very cautious with my dogs and I would give the same attention and cautiousness to any dogs under my watch as well. I always leash the dogs I care for when I take them outside, whether that’s to go for walks or just to go potty. I have plenty of toys and I always monitor my dogs when they play with them. I dispose of any toys that they tear into to make sure they do not ingest any parts of the toy. I have many dog beds and room inside for dogs to run and play. I do not mind animals on my furniture, I prefer them to be with me. My hallway is gated off as well, in case your dog has a special diet and needs to be fed separately. I also use this area for dogs to sleep at night if they are not crate trained. I tend to do separate feedings anyways just to be safe. My dogs are like my children and they get treated that way. I would do the same for my clients pets as well. The difference between taking your fur babies to a kennel and me is that I am home almost all day long, meaning your babies will get constant love and attention. Most kennels charge additionally for walks, one on one play time, and even group play. I spend time with my dogs (and those I care for), majority of everyday, until the late hours at night. I do have a baby, he is almost a year old. I do not leave him unattended with any dogs, not even my own. I do ask for you to let me know if your dogs are kid friendly. Even for dogs that are kid friendly, I am still extra cautious around children. It is better to be safe than sorry. This being said, that does not mean I will not give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I still do with my three fur babies everyday.
About: I used to dog sit/cat sit and house sit for my sister constantly when I lived in North Dakota. I also had two wiener dogs growing up and have always been around animals. I had two pet rats for 3 years also and now have had a dog of my own for 3 and a half years. Hi, my name is Lex, and I work as a PE paraprofessional for Ceres Unified School District. During the school year, I work with students and enjoy being active, patient, and dependable. Since I have summers off, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I always strive to maintain those routines as closely as possible. Safety is my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and energy levels, and I believe in using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention while in my care.

About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.
About: I have a 6 month old baby and a Malamute/Husky mix female. I would prefer to take care of dogs who are dog/ kid friendly and also potty trained. My dog is treated like a princess and so will your dog. If you decide to do boarding your dog will be sleeping inside. I have a huge backyard where it can exercise and a near by park is less than 5 minutes away. I am willing to pick up if you are near my location. I can assure you your dog will be well taken care of. Also, if your dog is not dog friendly I can make arrangements. I have a big front yard where you dogs can exercise and active- it is not fenced, however your dog will never be unattended.. Please let me know if that is a problem. There is always someone home. Either my husband or my self. We have opposite schedules, so your fur baby will never be alone in the house. I have an unfenced yard with plenty of land. We have built an outdoor kennel to keep them of they a are not trained to be off the leash.
About: I have been pet sitting for over four years, caring for both cats and dogs. I started with cats, managing their litter boxes, feeding them, and providing companionship. As I gained experience, I transitioned to dog sitting, where I handled walking, feeding, and grooming. I also go the extra mile by watering plants and bringing in the mail for owners. My family, friends, and clients have consistently trusted me with their homes, personal belongings, and, most importantly, their pets. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and they naturally seem to gravitate toward me. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and respectful pet sitter, I am the right choice for you. I don’t have a set schedule but I plan on taking care of amazing animals every week. I am available when needed and make adjustments easily. Your animals are in great hands 😁 I completely understand how important it is to feel confident and secure when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Rest assured, I take the responsibility of caring for your animals very seriously. With over four years of experience in pet sitting, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with my clients, and their pets have always been my top priority. I will ensure that your pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in a loving environment. Whether it’s sticking to their routines, giving them plenty of attention, or making sure they feel at ease, I am committed to providing the best care possible. I also respect your home and personal belongings, so you can be confident knowing everything will be in good hands. Please feel free to reach out with any specific needs or concerns you may have. Your pets’ safety, well-being, and happiness are my primary focus, and I am here to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Thank you for trusting me with your beloved pets!

“Coralie is great. My dogs look forward to their walks with her. She is caring, but also helpful in training them as well. She is good about walking according to your dog’s speed and needs. We have two energetic larger puppies and she manages to tire them out. She’s definitely a repeat in my book. She has been walking our dogs for the past month.”
About: I have raised multiple animals of my own, including dogs and cats, and have previous experience caring for other's pets (overnight stays, walking, etc). I studied for my animal science degree at UC Davis and I’m looking to gain experience with different breeds that I am less familiar with. I have the most experience with medium-large breeds of dogs as that's what my family has owned, but I have no preferences for or against any breeds. I have a genuine passion for the wellbeing of all animals and I love every dog I meet, including low to high energy, small to large, puppy to senior, and everything in between. I currently have a full-time job Monday-Friday from early morning to early afternoon but I am available for afternoon visits and overnights if your animals are okay with being alone during the day! I have a deep understanding of different dog temperaments and behaviors that allows me to care for each of their individual needs. I have experience from newborn puppies to senior dogs that need a bit more care and I’m willing to adapt to their needs.

About: I have had pets since I can remember and I have loved every single one of them. I currently have 3 cats 2 of which are around 12 and the 3rd is around 3. As well as 2 dogs who are 8 and 4. They are my babies and I treat them with nothing but love and care. I have also fostered 4 kittens at different times, all finding loving and caring homes I am currently only working one day a week so I have plenty of time to be there for all your animals needs, I have 3 cats, 2 dogs, and a snake of my own that I take care of daily as well as past foster kittens. With my own pets I have had to administer medication and supplements so I am well aware of the responsibilities that comes with those needs. In my home my dogs are indoor and get feed 3 times a day everyday. My cats are indoor/outdoor and come in at night and are trained to do so. I know how to get a cat to come in if they are being a little stubborn as well as getting dogs to go out to use the restroom as needed.
About: Throughout high school and college, I often helped out friends and neighbors by dog sitting when they couldn't take their pets on trips. I’m a huge dog lover, and I really adore all kinds of pets. Over the years, I've earned the complete trust of my friends and neighbors when it comes to looking after their pets and homes. They know they can count on me to provide loving care and ensure everything is safe and sound while they're away. I am currently working at a mental health facility. I work 3:00 pm Sun-Wed. Although I am full time I am always happy to lean a hand. Free on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays as well. I am also willing to Sundays off! I was born and raised in the Central Valley. Growing up on a farm made me exposed to many animals and I grew immense love for them. I had a wonderful time taking care of my beloved pets: a Labrador, German Shepherd, Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua. They were all my babies, and I also had a horse that I adored. I'm a huge animal lover, and I miss them every day now that they are living with my older sister.
About: Hi there! I’m your dog’s new best friend 🐾 With a background in veterinary medicine, I bring both lots of love and professional know-how to every pup I care for.

I treat every dog like family—so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in safe, loving hands. 💛 Whether I’m at home or caring for pets professionally, I stay hands-on and engaged. I make sure animals feel safe, enriched, and cared for through attention, structure, and affection. For me, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s something I naturally incorporate into how I move through my day. in my home and in my clients’ homes, I provide care that is consistent, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s individual needs.

About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.
“Alyssa is great! She responded quickly, showed up on time and was very professional. Our pup was tired out after his brisk 30 minute walk. What great service! Will definitely rebook with Alyssa.”

“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and wanted to get involved with them in any way via Animal Shelters, Vet schools, externships at Veterinarian clinics, sitting for friends and family, and now here😊 this is a great step for me to continue to get acquainted with the furry friends in our community and further expand my experience and knowledge on each and every pet baby out there because as a fellow pet parent I would want my baby in the best hands as well❤️ I’m home all week and not only have the space and time but as well as the joy of caring for a new furry friend! At home my doggo sleeps in my room and plays in the yard most of the day, she has a crate in the garage where she has access to for naps throughout the day and gets fed once in the morning and before bed an hour after her daily evening walk. Depending on what the owner’s needs are for their pets I can easily adjust my routine or schedule to better match their furry babies👍🏽 We’re very flexible with our routines and schedules and love to switch things up!😊
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”

“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
“Meeca stay was so great and he had so much fun with the family members and we will be back Tracey was awesome and kind I never felt so good about leaving Mecca and will be back and I will let all of my friends and family knows that they can bring there little families members to here ❤️ 💙 😊”
“Josie took great care of Misha! Our meet up before this booking confirmed that her dog Nala and my dog Misha would be able to get along. I appreciated the updates and the new discovery that Misha is ok around cats. Also, it looked like Misha played sooo much and got a lot of attention, that a soon as we got home after pick up, Misha quickly fell asleep lol. Thank you for everything!”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“This was our first time booking on Rover and Stephanie made it such a breeze! I’m an anxious dog mom but she was great with our puppy and providing updates anytime I checked in! Mazapán loved her time with Stephanie and definitely would rebook with her in the future!”
“Definitely 💯 recommend Mr. Kyle. He is awesome 👏. He paid attention to detail and everything we asked and said. He played with our Millie and took our her on walks. He treated her like she was his own. Which we loved.We will definitely use his services again and will recommend him. Thank you 😊 Kyle”
About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life with some that are from friends or family. I give what the pet need to feel loved, safe, fed, comfortable. I love pet sitting young to senior dogs. The pet care would fit in daily in my routine from when I wake up to when I go to sleep so like 24 hours. I make pets feel safe by doing things to make them feel safe protecting them from harm way, getting them to trust me to help them when they need it.
About: I have had dogs in my past big and small just looking to help anyone out who needs a couple days a week or even longer I have 3 kids ranging 7 5 and 3 and a small kitten in the house with me if you like to hear more reach out can’t wait to help you find relief that your fur pets will be taken care of while you enjoy your trip away I’m home most of the week and live near a nice walk way and go outside for walks all the time or play in the backyard We don’t go any where or many places and we stay home a lot and will take care of ur pets while ur away to have fun
“Stacy was a great communicator! And has a great memory! Remembered lots of little details about my dog and his behavior. She sent lots of photos and would let me know every time she was giving meds. It most likely is because of year that I brought my pup to her, but he did come home with a couple foxtails and fleas. So just make sure your dog is up to date on his flea meds. I was behind on giving my dog his meds before arriving so it was my fault he caught them. If you have a dog prone to foxtails it might not be the best option for you (at least during the spring). But if you have a short hair (lab) like me it still worked out well. Overall, Stacy is a very sweet person who truly loves animals. Both me and my boyfriend commented on how nice she is. She truly cared for my baby and wanted to please both me and him. 🤍”
