“Fletcher had such a good time with Liz and her family. He loved having multiple friends to play with and I loved that I could rest easy knowing he was in good hands! ❤️”
“Milo loved his stay with Tia! She welcomed him into her home and treated him as her own. She loved on him, her children loved on him, and played with him. He was the happiest at her house. Tia is warm and welcoming. She sent pictures so we could see him while we were gone. I highly recommend Tia for your pet.”
“Our dog had a great very with Jennifer. She was very warm to both our pup and us, and assured us that he would be well taken care of. We met her pets (1 dog, 2 cats) before we booked and felt comfortable that our boy was in good hands. Jen was great about communicating every day we were gone. Our dog clearly had a good time and came back to us healthy and happy.”
About: I love dogs and I love spending time outdoors with them. I have two dogs of my own that are my whole entire world! I have dog sat for friends and family plenty of times, and I also have a part-time job at a daycare/boarding place. I would love to meet your pets and be able to take care of them when you are out of town. Thank you in advance for the opportunity! I work during the week 8am-5pm with an hour lunch break that I come home for to take my dogs outside. I also have a part-time job at a dog boarding/daycare on the weekends, those shifts are 6:45-10am and 2:15-5pm. I have a 6 ft privacy fence and two male dogs that love to play outside or love a good nap! In a client's home I follow instructions carefully and treat things and animals as if they are my own.
“Becky and her family were amazing with Kinley. It was our first trip away from Kinley due to her being a year old. She made the process so easy and put our mind at ease. Becky will be our go to provider from here on out. Thank you!”

“Alex was absolutely phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout the entire time she watched our pets—always quick to update us with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Our animals clearly LOVED her and were happy and well-cared-for when we returned. We can't say enough good things about her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Alex—we'll definitely be booking with you again!”
“Elsie was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She reliably came twice a day as requested and took excellent care of my kitties. She tidied up after them, made sure food & water was readily available, gave lots of pets and treats. She went above & beyond and even utilized a video chat so I could see them. I highly recommend her and will book her every time.”
“Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cat and home during a weekend getaway. Brought large packages inside even though we didn’t ask her too. Sent photos of our cat so we could see how he was doing. Would hire again.”
“Alexis was great with my two cats! She was attentive and took such good care of their needs. My cats are very comfortable around her. Alexis also kept me well upated. Having her for my pet care made my travels easier.”
About: We just got two cats last year and they have been a handful, but now that they are older they are much more acclimated to our house and just hang out. I’ve cat sat for a family friend once and it was easy, just gave her food and cleaned out the litter box. I love cats
“Tia does such a great job with our buddy, Geo. He has recently started taking transdermal medication for some health issues he started having. She had no trouble giving it to him. She gives him a lot of attention and is willing to come multiple times a day to check on him. We appreciate her so much!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years I have my own dog who just turned 2. The very first dog I ever adopted was kind of “scary” looking and played aggressively she was very sassy and didn’t enjoy the company of other dogs or people (she sadly passed away 2 years ago). While my current puppers is hyper active but has extreme anxiety and loves being around people and other pets. I also often petsit my best friends doggo who is a senior and disabled, he can’t use his back two legs and has a lot of medical issues. I know and understand how to work with dogs of all personalities :) I’m working on getting my GED right now so I have a lot of free time lately. I can work on my classes any time during the day so my schedule is pretty open. I can kennel your dog if needed, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, even cuddle with them!! Our fur babies get lonely too!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. They’ve been my best friends, protectors, and teachers. From puppyhood to old age, I’ve cared for them—feeding, walking, and loving them deeply. Each one left paw prints on my heart. Dogs have always been part of my life, and they always will be. I am working part time as I am in school and in starts all year around. This fit because it is a quick job I can do on my own time to help me earn an income because it is very difficult to find a place of work while playing sports all year round. I will help provide food, water, exercise, check for any health concerns, help train your dog on basics like sit and lay down, and give your dog all the love and attention needed.
“Tara was so kind and attentive to my kitties. She did everything I asked for and more. I have one cat who is extremely shy, but Tara managed to capture a picture of her, so I was happy to see her while I was away. Tara updated me with pictures the whole time which made me feel that my kitties were in good hands. Thank you!”
“Alecia was incredibly caring, organized, and very attentive with my cats.🐱 Every day she kept me informed about how everything was at home and also sent me photos of them, which made me feel very calm and reassured during my time away. She not only took care of them and administered their medication, but also made sure their water bowls were always clean. She went above and beyond by taking extra time to clean the litter boxes, clean up vomit, sweep, and keep the mat tidy. These are the kinds of details that truly make a difference.✨️ She played with them, spoiled them, and cared for them with so much love and dedication. Alecia is very kind, respectful, and warm in her communication, which builds even more trust. 🌸 Without a doubt, I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry loved ones.🐾 It’s very comforting to know that someone like her exists someone who can care for your pets as if you were there yourself. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and her work is simply outstanding ✨️.”

“Jennifer was absolutely FANTASTIC. My little Dimitri is afraid of everything and everyone. He never comes out of his carrier when we take him places. But when he was with Jennifer he actually came out of his carrier and went exploring. He wasn’t completely frazzled when I came and picked him up. Her animals were sweet and gentle. Jennifer herself was very kind. I am pleased at how nice she was and how comfortable my cute little Dimitri kitty was. I’m definitely looking forward to working with her again.”

I also have experience in giving medication and grooming dogs. I currently am working a part-time job in the summer so I will have scheduled days of the week when I work there and so I will have lots of time for drop-ins and dog walking. I will care for your pets in your home by following the exact routine that they give me and make sure to keep things as normal and stress free as possible! I will make sure that they are fed, watered, get plenty of exercise, love, and attention. I will also keep the home clean and tidying up after the pet and making sure their food and water bowl areas stay neat.

About: I am originally from Sioux Falls, SD and just moved back to the Midwest after just over 8.5 years in California. I grew up with a house full of cats and dogs. I moved to California in 2015 and have been house sitting and checking in on friends and coworkers pets since which includes cats, dogs and reptiles. This includes walking, bathing and feeding and the ages ranged from puppy to full grown. I also nannied for a neighbor during 2020 in lieu of her finding a boarder when she had to go back to working in office. I am super outdoorsy and have taken pets to the river or even kayaking. I grew up riding horses and helping around the farm. I love animals and any excuse to take care of them. I have a very flexible lifestyle and can make your schedule fit with mine. I know every pet has it's own needs and love to communicate in order to curate the best experience for your animal. Pet care will vary case by case. I generally meet with the owners as needed and go over expectations and follow any requests or needs outlined. If I have any concerns I work with the owners directly.

“Elisie was wonderful! We booked last minute, and she was very flexible and responsive. She gave our pup lots of attention and even adjusted for extreme weather—we had a blizzard and 90 degree weather all in the same week! We’d definitely recommend her and would happily have her care for our dog again in the future.”

“Accepted me as a new client and walked my two dogs for one hour all in the same day. It was a last minute request. She made the process easy. She sent pictures of the dogs and a map view of the walk they went on. Showed up right on time. Will use again.”
About: I have loved dogs since I was little! Big into walks, playing, and cuddling. Currently have my first dog myself so learning lot on puppies! I am currently a graduate student that has weird hours available but looking to make some money to pay for school and make some new furry friends along the way.

About: I have owned dogs for 12+ years and I have three of them. 2 shitzhus and a lab. I also have 2 cats as of last year. I have dog sat for my friends family many times and have never had any issues. I get along with dogs so well, I’ve been called the dog whisperer. I have looked after fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs. Because I have animals, they have to be apart of my routine. Starts with waking up, feeding all of them, letting the dogs outside, checking if they need water, and maybe a little play session before I have to get started with my day. Periodically letting them outside to go to the bathroom and to get some fresh air. Feeding them at dinner time and repeating the morning steps. Just hanging out with them. I am pretty much willing to be constantly around the animals if need be. I will play with them, take them outside, feed them, give them the attention they need, walk them, and just hang out with them.

You can also check out my Facebook page to see some of the fur babies I’ve watched in the past “Bri’s Pet Services” I do work a full time job but I have days off during the week and alternate weekends, I still have plenty of time to do dog walking, drop ins, boarding etc. and I’m always available for holidays! I have two dogs and two cats that are friendly and would keep your pet company, a huge yard that will be fenced in before summer! And tons of toys and dog treats that they can have while chilling on the couch! Also will keep you updated with pictures and videos!
