“Chrissy took the best care of our 10 week old puppy. She gave us tons of updates, and did a bunch of fun stuff with him. She even trained him to sit, give paw, and lay down in the week she was with him. 10/10 recommend!”

“Madeline is our top choice for taking care of our babies. We are so impressed by her and feel like she is an angel sent from up above. Super self sufficient, caring towards our animals, respectful and professional. She’s the best.”

“Ivi did such a great job watching our pups! She was with them for 2 weeks and sent lots of pictures that they looked very happy and well loved in. She was very responsive any time we reached out and also went above and beyond caring for our home. Thank you Ivi!”

About: I have been caring for pets for as long as I could remember I grew up in a household that always had cats and dogs. One of my favorite things to do is spend time with animals.

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Gia was everything we could have imagined for taking care of our pets! We needed someone who was able to administer oral medications, ear drops, and eye ointment to our dog while we were gone and Gia went above and beyond! She was so kind and caring to each of our pets and continuously sent us pictures throughout her stay! We truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better and will definitely request her to watch our pets again!”

About: I've grown up around labs since my grandparents were breeders. All my aunts have had labs (usually more than one at a time), so I've gotten the chance to look after them and give them walks when they were away on vacation. My most recent experience was with my roommate's St Bernard. Optimus is the largest dog I've ever cared for let alone lived with. He's been a ton of work considering his previous owner's unfortunate lack of care. We've dealt with ear infections and bulking up to a healthy weight. Throughout all, patience and determination prevailed and he's our big buddy. I'm currently working three 12-hour shifts each week providing me evenings on work days and full days twice during week and all weekend for caring for cats. I'm unavailable Wednesday evenings and weekend mornings for religious reasons. I have a clean home vacuumed every morning with plenty of windows for looking out of. Scratching posts are in every room with plenty of toys and treats to go around. I love petting cats and giving belly rubs if that's their thing.

“Natalie was awesome with our dogs, she made sure to send us updates and even stay a little longer so they weren’t by themselves for too long. Will definitely use her again.”

“Jamie was amazing! It was our first time getting a sitter so we were definitely very nervous. But she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Her apartment was clean and spacious. She even sent us pictures and made a video of the dog! I can’t Recomended Jamie enough! Thank you so much.”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid. I love them all! My 2 cats have since passed over the rainbow bridge, so I am now eager to care for your pets. I have experience with all ages and all personalities. I work from home and am able to accommodate your pet’s routine. I can be flexible and will adjust to the needs of your pets to provide them the time and attention they need. As someone who is tuned into pet behavior, I will take my job of caring for your fur baby while you're away very seriously, while lavishing the amount of love and attention they need and want. I will want to know all about them and what they like and don't like as well as your typical routines with them so that I can provide that same structure as much as possible. I am a clean person, and my pets have always had clean food and water areas, litter boxes, beds, and surroundings. I will ensure that your pet's environments remain the way they are when you are home so that they feel safe, cared for, and stress free.
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!
“Kennedy was wonderful with Izzy. She is a very elderly dog and needs a little more attention than most and Kennedy took great care of her. I will use Kennedy again when she is available!”

About: I’ve had animals in my life from birth to rainbow bridge, and caring for them has always been a part of who I am. Dogs truly leave pawprints on my heart. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from large Alaskan Malamutes to tiny Yorkies, and I love building trust with every personality and energy level. I also share my home with Ellie, my sweet 2-year-old mini Labradoodle (just 12 lbs), who is gentle, friendly, and loves making new friends. Your pup will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently work part-time at home with my twin daughters who are 1. My availability is open especially nights, last minute plans and boarding. I take my dog for walks 3x a day and would gladly bring yours too! I care with absolute passion.I have separate rooms for your pup and a large crate when needed. I have almost fenced in yard for lots of room to roam and play. As well as a furry friend to play with Ellie my mini labordoodle.
