12. Mary S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!
13. Annalise D.

I know my fur babies are in the best of hands when they are with her. I absolutely love the fun photos I receive and the themed photo shoots she does. She absolutely goes above and beyond. I will continue to use her with all of my future dog sitting needs. I will also continue to refer her to everyone in need of a dog sitter.”
