Jen was in constant communication with me; staying with her was basically a vacation for my boys; she sent me #allthephotos; she updated me multiple times a day; she made sure my special needs baby got all the special attention he requires; and when I picked the boys up my little Sammy was still watching Jen as we were about to leave.

Simply put, she is an amazing human being whose passion is caring for animals.”

“Mike did a great job for us. We were away for an extended vacation. He kept us well informed about our cats but also things at our home. A neighbor left mail on our porch and an outdoor ornament blew off our house. He notified us on both issues. The ornaments were brought in and he checked our community mailbox to confirm our mail was being held by USPS. During our vacation we received a boil water notice; We informed Mike and he brought bottled water for our pets. It’s the second time we used him and I’m sure we will be using his services again.”

Up until recently I’d been working in corporate, and I’m choosing to take a small break in between careers. My previous employers and pet care clients can attest to my attention to detail, my excellent communication skills, and my willingness to do what it takes to get the job done.

About: We got our first pup in 2011. All 3 dogs we’ve owned have been since they were puppies. We’ve taken care of pups who require shots and pills. We treat pups in our house like family members. My husband and I have off weekends. My husband works from home so dogs get let out frequently. I’m a high school teacher so I also have summers off. We’re happy to follow your routines so they feel at home. I have 2 friendly dogs who love kids & pups. We just ask that your pup is friendly with kids and dogs, and is comfortable being crated for short periods of time, if needed.
About: I own It takes a village animal rescue, though I am taking a 2 year break, I have had 451 dogs come through my rescue in the last 10 years. I can help with house training, and basic puppy skills. I have probably had about 100 plus puppies in the last 10 years. I have a facebook account for the rescue and you can see all that My Volunteers and I have done over the years. Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 10 years, I own an animal rescue, but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss haveing dogs around all day. I am home 90% of the time so I am there to let dogs out who might not be potty trained or sometimes it is just for company, laying on the couch watching TV and getting rubbed. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam. I also have Mr Donovan, 110 pound hound mix that lost his 2 playmates in the last 2 months, so he would love having anotherfriend to hang/ play with.
“Tiffany was the best. This was my first time doing a dog sitter. Now my fears are over. I'm glad Ranger had a good time. I would give 10 stars if I could. Tiffany did a good job of keeping my dog calm and very busy. I thank you again.”
“Mutig was so happy when we picked him up! I have been nervous about where to leave him during a vacation we have coming up, but I was put at ease after this stay. She sent so many happy pictures of Mutig and Quincy playing and sent me updates of how he was doing. Yvonne and her husband were very caring. She fed the dogs separately, took them out often, and showed a lot of care. We are so glad we found her to have piece of mind that we are leaving Mutig in good hands when we cant be there!”

About: I have 6 years of experience taking care of 4 cats and my dog!! I can feed, give water, take walks, scoop boxes, and entertain with toys. I am also excellent with anxious pets and those who need a little extra care and love. I have a gentle voice and will always try to be aware of your pets' comfort level before approaching. I am currently in college, so I go to class various times during the week! Because of this, I may need to adjust arrival times depending on my class schedule and what days you need me for. This also means that I am good for vacations and other short-term jobs. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for all animals in accordance with guidelines set by my clients. For dogs, I prefer a fenced in yard, but will consider leashed walks depending on the size of your dog.
About: Dog owners and their dogs will love many things about the care that I provide. First, I have always shown love and care to every dog that I have met and all these dogs have responded in a positive manner. Second, I believe in a healthy lifestyle for my dogs (as well as myself, haha) and take my dogs for walks everyday, and feeding them their recommended portion of dog food with minimal people food. Third, keeping my dogs on a daily routine helps tremendously as well as their owners. Growing up I have had a Schnauzer (Mickey), Springer Spaniel (Snickers), Springer Spaniel (Princess), two box turtles (Fred and Wilma), and currently own two Puggles (Liberty & Bell). All the dogs I have trained to not go to the bathroom in the house, and many tricks. I work full-time (7am-330pm) and I am available Monday-Friday before 7am and after 330pm. Saturday and Sunday I will be available all day. If you need more information, please don't hesitate to contact me, Thank you.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from small pets to large dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets, which gave me a solid foundation in handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. Now, I have a 1.5 year old Lab named Knox who’s full of energy and love. He keeps me active, patience’s, and always on my toes! I also have a 9 year old cat named Levi, who brings a calm, loving balance to our home.

I’m reliable, communicative, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were mine. Let me know what your pet needs. I’m happy to accommodate special routines or preferences! I’m a full-time nursing student with plenty of free time during the day, so I’m great for helping out while you’re at work. I know how important it is for pets to get attention and exercise in the middle of those long days. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, or just some company to keep your animals happy and relaxed on your busy days. I have empathy for those who having to leave their animals so safety is a top priority for me when pet sitting. I will always use a leash when on walks and at home if there is no fenced in yard available. Also would like to know if the pet has any special instructions and their likes/ dislikes.

I own 3 dogs and 1 cat that I love very much! I’ve raised dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles my entire life and have experienced all different types of care. My dogs are Pitbull mixes and an American Bully who love to have fun just like me. Being safe, outside, and active are things I take pride in because builds a bond and a good time. I love meeting new people and pets, so I’m excited to help take care of your FURever friends:) I do work part-time and go to school online but always have time for furry friends.
