About David

30 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello, my name is David and I have had dogs the majority of my life. I have even had the opportunity to have some of my dogs shown in dog shows. Washington and Oregon and Canada. I will not train your animal for you, sorry about that. When my companions were alive, they went EVERYWHERE with me. My wife told me that Jake, when alive, would sit at the bathroom door and wait for me to get out. They would not follow her anywhere. Jake would, WHEN she had food. LOL. She was his best friend. Then when no food, he would have nothing to do with her, per say. They were both family dogs. But they are both gone now, dog heaven. What else can I say. I love animals. The last set of dogs I had before Jake and Ubu, were Rottweilers. All 9-10 of them gentle as lambs. There are no pets currently.

I have experience in giving medication with injections (valium) to pills. Coat the pill with peanut butter, and you got a somewhat happy pet. He/she thinks it's a treat :). Or you can be my dog and spit it out every time. LOL. But he eventually takes it. Coat ALL of the pill. "Thank you Seizures".

About Desiree

25 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats most of my life. I love animals and they love me. I have taken care of various breeds of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. It is exciting to be a caretaker for animals and I find it very rewarding. It seems like all breeds have their own personality traits and I am enjoying learning about different breeds of dogs I have never known before.

I have just completed the Dove-Lewis First Aid for companion Animals taught by Christy Michael.

I also walk my daughter's dogs, a Pom-Skipper Key cross as well as a Shih tzu, on a regular basis. I bathe them, play ball with Charlie and love them a lot.

I currently live in a townhouse with pet restrictions so I don't have a dog right now, however, walking and pet sitting fills the void for me. Presently, I have one cat, Tristan who is five and becoming very spoilt since he is the "only child". Since Tristan is now mostly an indoor cat now, I constantly buy him new toys to keep him entertained.

I would be glad to bath your dogs, however, I can't lift over 30 pounds into a tub.

Desiree did a good job and handling all of our pets. One of our dogs is very over anxious and she seemed to help him stay calm .
Desiree was wonderful with our kiddo. We were able to enjoy our short trip knowing she was taking good care of our pet and our home.

About Heather (Katt)

15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello, great to meet you! My name is Heather, but everyone just calls me Katt. I've had dogs all my life, and have 15 years experience with watching and sitting the fur-babies of friends and family.

I work from home, so am available throughout the day and don't leave animals unattended for more than an hour. I'm available to come to your home, so as long as you have internet, there's no need for me to leave other than adventure time!

I specialize in, and absolutely love pit bulls, rottweilers, labs, etc. Big dogs are my favorite! I have a 1(ish) year old pit bull puppy, and a 5 year old pit bull / boxer mix. They are the loves of my life, but I love snuggling with other dogs, too!

I also have experience with, and would be happy to watch, other animals such as: cats, ferrets, rats, mice, fish (freshwater), horses, goats, llamas, and pigs.

If you want some extra basic obedience for your dog while you're away, please let me know when you contact me so I can add it to the rate. My training rate is $40/hour without other services. House sitting services of 2-5 days is a single 1-hour additional charge for short training sessions every day, several times a day. House sitting services of 6-10 days would be a second hour. 11+ days, please contact me directly for a quote.

About Hannah

Hey! I'm 22 years old and live in a 2 bedroom duplex with my husband. We both love dogs so much and have both owned many dogs growing up. I'm a freelance videographer and am looking for a side job and Dog sitting would be perfect for me! Not only do I love dogs but I am an active person and can take the dogs on my adventures if you'd like. I can't think of anything more fun than hanging out with your pup!

About Cameron

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello, I'm Cameron.

I love the good old outdoors and try to spend as much time as I can outside. Grew up with dogs and cats, but unfortunately with my apartment I can not have them. Currently I have a beautiful fish named Westly. As much as I love him it would be nice to have a a furry friend to hangout with. I travel frequently doing what I love, photography.

Hope to hear from you! :D

Reviews

Cameron was beyond amazing. My dogs are like my children and I was so very worried about leaving them with a person I had literally just met in order to go out of the country for two weeks on vacation. Cameron came over for a meet and greet and both of my dogs instantly bonded with him. One of my dogs is extremely skittish and is not comfortable with new people, however, Cameron gave her the space she needed and let her come to him. Once she did, his calm and gentle demeanor immediately won her over. I've never seen her be so quickly comfortable around a new person. Cameron has the instincts and intuition about dogs and their individual personalities that almost immediately puts them at ease. Once I saw this interaction I was so much more comfortable leaving my babies with him. While I was away he walked them daily, way further and more frequent than when we are home, to the degree that I was worried they wouldn't want us to come back home! Ha! He sent us picture updates of the dogs and what they were up to that literally made my day each time. My dogs are both very large and he handled them with ease. I truly can't recommend Cameron enough. He is absolutely amazing with dogs and also with people. After he sat for us, I adored him so very much I now consider him a friend.
