“My dog, Lucy was not a socialized dog, but after being at Kena's home, she opened up and was able to play with other dogs . she was loved and I completely trust that all her needs will be met. Kena loves all the dogs that comes to her home like a member of the family”
“Absolutely excellent. Very easy pick up and drop off. You can tell Danielle really loves dogs, and treats them like they are her own family. Very accommodating, they were very flexible with my pick up and drop off times. Easy to get to off skyway in paradise. My dogs got along with and played with her friendly dogs while they were there and there were no issues. Danielle sends frequent, very professional, photos of my dogs having a good time. 100% recommend, and will use them again in the future.”
“Holly is always amazing with my dog. She really goes the extra mile and makes sure that you are comfortable and updated when away from your pet. She paid attention to his every need and he always is super happy. Thanks Holly!”
“Jessica watched our 9 week old puppy for 3 days. She accepted the job on a holiday weekend. She has the perfect home and yard with the friendliest dog for our puppy to play with. She sent us pics and videos and gave us such piece of mind. I will definitely use her services again! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I recently graduated from Chico state and currently have two dogs of my own a 6 year old toy poodle and a 5 months old border collie mix. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog or cat with someone else. That’s why I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part time at Bath & Body Works and usually only have 2–3 shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m not working, I’m home spending time with my own dogs. This allows me to be available for different drop-off and pick-up times and gives me plenty of time to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and help them feel right at home.
“Deena was great with my dogs she was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Greatly appreciate the photos and updates! The dogs had a great yard to run in with lots of toys. Highly recommend Deena for your pet sitting needs! Thank you!!”
“Forest is awesome!!! We were quite skeptical because we had left our dog William with others and it was a disaster. We met up with Forest and let will meet him. They hit it off almost immediately. Forest is professional, responsible, caring and really takes his role seriously. He once told me, “ I want your dog to come back to you as healthy and happy as he was dropped off to me.” I felt that! Will is like my child and I worry when we are away, but I know if he is with Forest (and Norma-who Will absolutely adores) I KNOW he is getting the best possible care. He even sends me pictures and updates. Thank you Forest for taking great care of our fur baby when we have to be away!”
“She was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using anyone from the app, so I was a little skeptical and hesitant but she was so helpful. She is very sweet and caring. She would even send me pictures and updates everyday which I loved very much. My boy Max and I loved the family and dogs and will definitely be coming back.”
“This was our second stay with Yesenia. Archie,for the second time, came home a very happy dog. My husband mentioned that when he dropped Archie off, he was so excited to be there! Yesenia is warm and caring, a great communicator, and genuinely enjoys what she is doing with Rover. We are so grateful for her.”
“Lesly was great with our Dog JJ. He was apparently very comfortable at her place and got lots of attention. She even Texted us several photos of him and he didn’t show any symptoms of separation anxiety, that we were worried about. Great Sitter!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Mary was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got home. I really appreciated the photo updates and attention to detail. Her other dogs are very friendly and play well with my guy. The property is great for high energy dogs that need to run. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter! 🐾”
“Jessica and Timare trully amazing. They were so accomodating to us during our wedding week and took care of our fur baby as if it was theirs. They are wonderful people and so sweet to our dog. We cN’t wait to come down to Sarasota and see them again. Don’t hesit”
“Taralene was so accommodating to me and my dog! We needed a last minute booking and she didn't hesitate to respond back with a solid yes. I receieved several photos throughout the week and could tell my boy was in good hands. My dog returned to me happy, healthy and tired. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Taralene again.”
“We are very happy with the care and attention our dog got from Lynn. She is very loving to her charges and has a good and safe set up for the dogs. Lynn sent us pictures during the stay which was very nice. We could see that he was happy and content. I would highly recommend Lynn.”
About: I have helped out w my friends pets, both dogs & cats throughout the years, I have worked w young & adult animals. With my flexible schedule, I can care for animals per their specific needs. My schedule is flexible since my daily job is a hairdresser, so I can adjust my schedule to fit in needs for each animal individually. I have a small fenced in yard at my home, would prefer to do in clients home, since most animals are more comfortable with that.
“Monisha was great with Wrex and provided lots of pictures and details of daily activities, including lots of walks. I will book with her again and was very happy with her service!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I know what it means to view your pets as your family. I share my home with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and backyard is even shared with 15 chickens! My furry and feathered friends are my world! And we’ve learned a lot together about building a healthy, happy, and cohesive home through trust and training. Other than being a pet parent for the past 15 years, I grew up as the neighborhood pet sitter as a kid/teen. I often did overnight stays for anxious pets, or provided timely medication for sweet seniors. As a pet parent, I truly understand the importance of having a sitter you can trust to provide mutually agreed upon services. With me, you have reliable care for all your pet needs.
“Lauren is wonderful! She is professional, friendly, and takes excellent care of our fur baby. While I hate to leave my cat for extended periods, it’s a great comfort knowing that she’s the one taking care of him. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!
About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.
About: I treat every pet like my own, with lots of care, attention, and love. I have experience with both cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to big, lovable Rottweilers, including puppies and senior pups who need extra love and care. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away or busy, and I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m typically most available in the mornings and evenings, but I’m always happy to be flexible to fit your needs! I see my pets as family, and I know yours are just as important to you. My goal is to make every pet I care for feel safe, relaxed, and loved, whether that means getting out for a walk or settling in for a cuddly nap.
About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for cats, including my own four with very different personalities, from playful kittens to more independent, sometimes feisty adults. This has taught me to read feline body language and give each cat the right mix of space, play, and affection. I’m comfortable with litter box cleaning, feeding schedules, administering simple medications, and light grooming. Whether your cat loves lap time or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure, and cared for.
About: While I don’t have cats of my own, I regularly take care of my mom’s cat when she’s out of town. I have helped her find a litter that works well for her, as well as replace harmful treats with ones that “make her fur softer than ever”. I recently met two cats who were polar opposites and I was lucky enough to be greeted by the one who never says hi to strangers :)
About: I have worked with all types of animals, breeds and personality types. I’ve done dog walking/pet sitting for about 6 years and absolutely adore it! I am comfortable with any special needs or unique temperaments. (Most of my experience has been off this app, hence my lack of reviews… I am more than happy to provide references individually!) I’m currently available anytime during the day or night, weekdays and weekends. I can do overnights as well. As long as we plan ahead all should be good! I have a lot of time to stay with the pets in their own home so they will have lots of stimulation and attention! I love taking them anywhere they love, walking around the neighborhood, trips to dog beach, or supervising play dates with their furry friends!
About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I’ve dealt with a lot of different cats with extremely different personalities and I’ve loved them all. 2 of the cats I’ve owned have needed oral medication (pill and liquid), so I’m very comfortable doing that. I’ve also fostered many litters so they could find their forever home :)
About: I have a strong background in animal behavior, safety, and handling across a wide range of species including exotic pets, livestock, aquatic life, and common household animals. With 12+ years of experience working with horses and instructing beginner riders. I am experienced in professional dog bathing, small-scale breeding, livestock care, and much more. With entrepreneurial experience through ownership of Liv’s Critters, a reptile breeding and education business. I am an excellent and reliable communicator with a huge passion for animal welfare and education.
About: there has been a pet in my household sense i was 6. i now dog sitting for family friends. i am looking to expand my love! i work 3 days a week and love to use the rest of my time to love on animals of all sizes and energy levels! i can obey crate rules for your pets, take them on walks, play with them outside. and if you allow it i can take them to dog parks
About: I’ve grown up with cats all my life. I know to change their little box and feed them and play with them as well as groom them . Very strict about care routine just give me a list and a time for their feedings and when and how you would like their litter box changed.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart as I have had several dogs since I was born that were all well loved. I offer loving, reliable care with plenty of play, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just some company while you're away, I treat every animal like my own. With experience, patience, and a calming presence, your pets will be in safe, happy hands if you decide to choose me to be your sitter. I currently have a lot of availability as I am not in school, but without a job. Thursdays I dont have any method of transportation other than walking or biking so I will only accept walking distance jobs on those days. I'm available any time between 10am and 7pm for non-overnight jobs. When caring for someones fur baby, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions carefully, keeping the pet’s routine consistent. I provide fresh food and water, ensure plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles depending on their needs, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos to reassure the owner. Most importantly, I treat their pet as if they were my own, giving them love, patience, and attention throughout my stay.

“Tylyn was wonderful with our dogs! We really know when the boys have fun and feel comfortable. They are very picky! They really really loved her and her little girl. Snow normally doesn’t get along well with children but he just loved Naya. They played a lot, enjoyed a dog pool and went on walks with her. They were very tired on our way back home. Thank you, Tylyn, for taking such good care of them. See you next time.”
“Kena sends updates throughout the day with pictures which is so nice. She was very flexible keeping him for a bit longer than I had planned and my dog basically ran into her arms each morning so I know he had a great time.”
“Holly has been an amazing sitter for our Goldendoodle. Our dog tends to be high-strung but she is totally relaxed with Holly and enjoys going on walks. It didn't take our dog long to feel comfortable with Holly. We are really happy with her service.”

“My 2 dachshunds spent the day with Forest who was a kind, thoughtful and conscientious host. He had everything they needed for the day including a fenced backyard. I felt very comfortable leaving them even though I hadn’t had a chance to meet Forest before that day. I highly recommend him.”
“Danielle took good care of my dog who has separation anxiety and does not like other dogs. She was very considerate of my dogs needs and my wonky schedule. Thank you for taking care of my pup”
“Jessica was great! She took our dog in last minute for the day and sent us updates throughout the time. The backyard was huge and had plenty of space for the dog to run and sniff.”
About: I have experience caring for many dogs for friends family and neighbors. I often would care for my neighbors dog since he was a puppy, parents worked full time and puppies need all the attention they can get so I helped train him. I also trained my own puppy Melo, he’s still growing and learning but I love being his mom. I take extra care of his supplements and nutrition so I know the importance of taking the extra time to do all of that. I have a verry good schedule with being home, I have two dogs of my own iam always coming home at lunch whenever I work. My husband also has a great schedule and helps me out whenever iam not here . When boarding with me I’ll have my dogs stay under my moms care while I pay full attention to your critter. I live in a house with a huge yard they can run around. I am also close enough to bidwell park to go on walks if you’d like that!
“Autumn was great!!! She came and met my dog before the doggy day care stay. She made sure my dog was comfortable with her and followed all my instructions. My dog got along well with Bruno, Autumn’s dog. Bruno is very friendly. She took videos of them playing and sent me regular photo updates,which I really appreciated. I will continue working with Autumn for doggy day care! Thank you!”
“Mary was available last minute and took great care of my dogs. ?She ensured my dogs were up to date on their shots, asked about their feeding schedule and took great pics. My dogs had a fabulous time in her backyard and with her dogs. ?Would definitely use again next time I’m in the area. ♥️”
“Kassandra did a great job taking care of my pup. She responded quick to my request and was there to meet me when I dropped my dog off. She had a Mello dog and a nice backyard for my girl to hang out in. Would definitely consider booking with her again!”
About: I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats, and I have professionally pet sat since I was a teen. My duties have included feedings, walkings, cleanings, medication dispensing, and so on. I currently work at Enloe during the week, and my husband is home during the day to help with all animal needs!

I am willing to follow whatever is your normal routine to keep your pet happy and healthy while you are away.

“Carly has walked my three dogs and has pet sit for them at my home. She is amazing and my dogs love her! My dogs are a lot. One is 105lb american bulldog who is mellow, but a lot of dog lol and can be reactive to small dogs. The other one has major puppy vibes and takes a minute to warm up to new people. The third is a chill older dog, but can get a spicy attitude whenever she's inclined. I've left them for 6 days with Carly before. When I came home, my dogs were happy and healthy and no issues. The puppy injured his dew claw and Carly reached out and got him to the vet. He trusted her the whole time! Everything healed great. Highly recommend her. I will be using her in the future too.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!
About: I’ve taken care of many pets my whole life. I’m very passionate about animals health and wellbeing. I love all animals and have a passion to help and take care of them.

I don’t mind taking my time with them making sure they get the love they need.
About: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

My pets are my world, and I love meeting new animals and being able to care for them. I recently graduated from college and I’m currently working as I’m waiting for admission into the nursing program. I am looking to do something I love and to help others with their life at the same time. I usually will be working every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from between 5:30am-12:30pm, but morning drop-ins before work shouldn’t be an issue and I can also drop in after work. I’ve had multiple pets in the past. I currently have one cat named Thumper. I enjoy spending time with her and taking her on walks, as she is very curious. She has brain damage as well as very bad anxiety, so she does require more care than normal. She also gets oral medication everyday for her anxiety so she can stay calm and not feel stressed all of the time.
About: Pet Care Experience 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies learning good habits to gentle senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take time to get to know each one’s unique routine, preferences, and comfort level. I’m skilled at reading animal body language, managing leash behavior, administering basic medications, and creating a calm, safe environment—whether on a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine connection with animals. I treat every pet like my own—with plenty of care, consistency, and cuddles! 🐶🐾 Schedule 🐾 I currently have an open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available for pet care throughout the week—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This flexibility allows me to give your pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve without rushing or distractions. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s routine. Reliability and communication are very important to me, so you can always count on updates and peace of mind while you’re away. 🐶🐱 Safety, Trust & Environment 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well-attended to at all times. I follow your pet’s established routines closely—meal times, potty breaks, and preferred walking routes—to help them feel relaxed and at ease while you’re away. I’m fully insured for pet care, which means you can have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is protected. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, signals, and comfort level, and I’m always mindful of their surroundings during walks or visits. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive experience for every animal I care for—because they deserve nothing less. 🐕🐈💛
About: I've had animals all my life. I've cared for neighbor's pets since I was little and I have experience with animals of all sizes, from hamsters to horses! I have small pet, herp, and invert experience as well. I'm dedicated to providing the very best care for your pets!

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart as I have had several dogs since I was born that were all well loved. I offer loving, reliable care with plenty of play, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just some company while you're away, I treat every animal like my own. With experience, patience, and a calming presence, your pets will be in safe, happy hands if you decide to choose me to be your sitter. I currently have a lot of availability as I am not in school, but without a job. Thursdays I dont have any method of transportation other than walking or biking so I will only accept walking distance jobs on those days. I'm available any time between 10am and 7pm for non-overnight jobs. When caring for someones fur baby, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions carefully, keeping the pet’s routine consistent. I provide fresh food and water, ensure plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles depending on their needs, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos to reassure the owner. Most importantly, I treat their pet as if they were my own, giving them love, patience, and attention throughout my stay.
“Sofia has been great from the get-go! She responds quickly to requests, communicates well about her schedule, and is always on time. On top of that, she is very kind and caring with Gretel and Gretel’s humans. I can’t say enough good things about Sofia!”
“Super Cooper seems to really like her. She gets a warm greeting and I appreciate that she runs and walks with him! it was raining and Lucy still took him out and he seems very relaxed like he's ready for a nice nap”

“Absolutely excellent. Very easy pick up and drop off. You can tell Danielle really loves dogs, and treats them like they are her own family. Very accommodating, they were very flexible with my pick up and drop off times. Easy to get to off skyway in paradise. My dogs got along with and played with her friendly dogs while they were there and there were no issues. Danielle sends frequent, very professional, photos of my dogs having a good time. 100% recommend, and will use them again in the future.”
“Holly is always amazing with my dog. She really goes the extra mile and makes sure that you are comfortable and updated when away from your pet. She paid attention to his every need and he always is super happy. Thanks Holly!”
“Jessica watched our 9 week old puppy for 3 days. She accepted the job on a holiday weekend. She has the perfect home and yard with the friendliest dog for our puppy to play with. She sent us pics and videos and gave us such piece of mind. I will definitely use her services again! ❤️🐾”
“Forest is awesome!!! We were quite skeptical because we had left our dog William with others and it was a disaster. We met up with Forest and let will meet him. They hit it off almost immediately. Forest is professional, responsible, caring and really takes his role seriously. He once told me, “ I want your dog to come back to you as healthy and happy as he was dropped off to me.” I felt that! Will is like my child and I worry when we are away, but I know if he is with Forest (and Norma-who Will absolutely adores) I KNOW he is getting the best possible care. He even sends me pictures and updates. Thank you Forest for taking great care of our fur baby when we have to be away!”
“She was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using anyone from the app, so I was a little skeptical and hesitant but she was so helpful. She is very sweet and caring. She would even send me pictures and updates everyday which I loved very much. My boy Max and I loved the family and dogs and will definitely be coming back.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Mary was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got home. I really appreciated the photo updates and attention to detail. Her other dogs are very friendly and play well with my guy. The property is great for high energy dogs that need to run. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter! 🐾”
“Jessica and Timare trully amazing. They were so accomodating to us during our wedding week and took care of our fur baby as if it was theirs. They are wonderful people and so sweet to our dog. We cN’t wait to come down to Sarasota and see them again. Don’t hesit”
“Taralene was so accommodating to me and my dog! We needed a last minute booking and she didn't hesitate to respond back with a solid yes. I receieved several photos throughout the week and could tell my boy was in good hands. My dog returned to me happy, healthy and tired. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Taralene again.”
About: I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats, and I have professionally pet sat since I was a teen. My duties have included feedings, walkings, cleanings, medication dispensing, and so on. I currently work at Enloe during the week, and my husband is home during the day to help with all animal needs! We do have a sweet, friendly German Shepherd in the house that gets along very well with all dogs. It is important to me that your pets are safe, fed, walked, and have fresh water daily. I am willing to follow whatever is your normal routine to keep your pet happy and healthy while you are away.
“Heather was responsive and so caring for my Paislee! In fact, this morning when I left for work Paislee thought I was going to take her back to Heather and she got super excited. When she comes back to me healthy and happy I am so pleased!”
“Our dog Logan had the absolute best time with Lynnette and her husband. Their space was so perfect and allowed there to be room for our pup to run around but also relax. I feel good knowing that he was comfortable in their home and will absolutely rebook in the future. She took him for a walk everyday and sent lots of pictures which is just so amazing. She truly went above and beyond. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup! It means the world to us!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Cedar, over Memorial Day weekend! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear Mark was going to treat her like one of the family. We received regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Cedar came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know she was in a home full of love and attention. We’re so grateful for the care, kindness, and thoughtfulness—and we’ll absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a retired veterinary professional and lifelong animal lover. I have two extremely friendly pups, Pukka and Tildon, that are happy to share their space if your kiddo would enjoy it. I have a fenced back yard. Our household goes on one (if not more) walks a day. My boys are well leash trained and would welcome a walking buddy. Depending on your location I'd also be happy to walk your pup solo. We love cats and I am happy to give anything from a few water and kibble top offs and litter box changes as needed to nightly cuddles and adoration. I offer a love and care for all critters (snakes, birds, rabbits, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, horses, you name it!), 10+ years of experience in the veterinary field, and an understanding of animal handling that I know will bring you comfort in my work. If your pet requires special care such as insulin injections, oral medications, SQ fluids, etc please notify me. I am comfortable with medical procedures but reserve the right to adjust my pricing according (upon discussion of course). I work 8-4:30 most days. I am two minutes away from home and always come home to check on the critters on my lunch. We go for walks in them morning before work and there is a dog door into the back yard that can be open if needed. Fenced (6+ feet) back yard with locked gate. I have door dog insert on my back door so everyone can come and go as they please. I live in a small one room studio with a yard about four times its size. Dogs are allowed on the bed and there is a step up onto the bed for senior citizens. It is a small but very comfortable space.
“Melissa and Shaun were awesome! I’m very glad I found them so last minute and were able to take all four of my pups. They had a good layout with the kennels for boarding, in the shade and about 2-3 different dogs runs. I have a mix of large and very small pups and she was able to attend to them appropriately with the little ones separate and closely with her. Thank you again! Hope to book again soon!”
