About: I’ve had family dogs since I was little, many different types of animals in my teens and adult years, and most recently have cats. I can pretty much handle any type of animal care, except snakes or spiders. Lol! I’ve had and cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, frogs, etc. I can handle feeding animals, going for walks, giving attention and cleaning up habitats. I currently work from home and would love to walk dogs on my breaks, or help care for animals in my area before or after working for the day. I always make sure that food is replenished as needed/required, water bowls are clean and filled, and that any areas that have been messed up are cleaned. My goal is to always leave things as nice, or better than they were when I arrived.

You could not choose a better person to care for your pet than Joe. He and his wife Taylor have a 3-year-old Wheaten Terrier named Molly who is the most well cared for and loved dog I've known. Molly is always clean, fed only healthy food, walked around their neighborhood daily, taken to dog parks regularly, and always receives lots of petting and hugs.

About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, fish, pigs and cows. As an adult I raised 4 dogs from puppyhood, one of them I cared for until her last days. My friends and family trust me to care for their pets, mostly dogs but I'm also experienced with cats and fish. My husband John is an animal lover as well and we often work as a team to give the best quality care possible. I work online and have a very flexible work schedule. I can give potty breaks, play/snuggle time and walks several times a day from morning to evening. I may be able to stay overnight in your home if needed. I can bathe your pet, brush, give meds, feed, and provide transportation if needed. I can kennel your pets if they use a kennel. I can provide a warm lap to snuggle. If you have a fenced yard I can play outside with your pet off leash. If you don't have a fenced yard and your pets prefer to play off leash, let's talk about it. I can give walks on leash. I will work with your pet on potty training, crate training, and simple commands if you would like. Recently I cared for a dog (50 lbs.) with hip dysplasia and carried her up stairs several times each day. Another dog I cared for recently was a rescue from a hurricane and has intense storm anxiety.

Meagan dog and lizard sits for us all the time. She is such an animal lover and so good with them. She is comfortable with just about everything we need her to do for the animals, such as walking, playing with, feeding (even roaches), administering meds and so on. She is reliable and has her own transportation. She is good about cleaning up after herself as well! She's a college kid with time on her hands and wants to spend that time with all the animals! Highly recommend!

About: Hello, my name is Yasmin. Full time animal lover with time on my hands and I would love to help care for your furry friend. I’ve been taking care of animals almost all my life which is good because they seem to love me❤️ I absolutely love animals, especially big dogs and older cats. I am open to dog walking, temporary dog sitting , as well as taking your pets to and from appointments. I love playing with animals, so dropping in and spending time with your pet is my personal favorite. In the past I have owned one dog, three cats, four birds, two rabbits, and a couple fish. If you are ever in a last minute situation, I’m almost always available, just shoot me a message. I am self employed so I’m almost always free. I try to be flexible so even if what you need doesn’t fit my schedule, I will always try to help out I’m a pet person so if I bring any animal into my home, I treat it as my own. I’ll gladly supply toys and treats(with owners permission, of course) and I’ll always put your pet first. They’re likes and dislikes are important to me and I always want them to feel safe and comfortable.

We can’t say enough about Jessica! She was Excellent! Due to some unforeseen circumstances we needed someone to drop-in for 5 days upon short notice. Jessica responded quickly and our minds were at ease knowing our dog would be well cared for. Jessica took pictures during each visit and wrote a synopsis of what they did during her stay. We highly recommend and will utilize her again!

About: For the past year I’ve been taking care of my friends and family dogs. I was hired to take them on walks, play time and potty breaks. Now I have a 7 month old Cocker Spaniel, I’ve been training him since he was 2 months. He knows basics commands and I’m currently working on behavior. I have a flexible schedule to work with you and take care of your pup 🐶 I’m free after 10:00 am, but if you need my service earlier I can always make some arrangements that work with your time. I live in an apartment, and I have one furry baby. There’s a few parks near me and I have plenty of grass areas around my apartment to take your dog on walkies. I Can always crate your pup if you need me to.

Shawn did AMAZING with my small zoo of animals! I contacted him on short notice and he was great to work with. He sent me pics, played with my giant dogs, and made sure everyone was cared for. Will 100% use him again in the future.
