One Time • $10 – 15/hr • Starts 07/01 • Albuquerque, NM

I have a 10lb miniature pincher dog named Turbo who requires some special care while I am out of town for the July 4th weekend from 7/1 to 7/3. He is 9 years old, diabetic and blind. He needs insulin injections twice a day, every 12(ish) hours. The ideal pet sitter would need to either have experience giving injections on dogs or willing to learn and practice before I leave for vacation. It would be nice if he could go for a walk around the block at the time of injections just so he isn't at home bored all day. No need for him to have an overnight sitter, he sleeps from about 8:00 p.m. on. Has an auto feeder so giving food isn't required. He is spunky, especially once he knows you. Loves to have back scratches and cuddles under blankets.

One Time • $8 – 20/hr • Starts 06/18 • Easton, PA

I need several days of care for my 2 rescue dogs while I'm traveling. They require special, patient care and are still a bit aggressive so I'm willing to pay extra. Their names are Ruby, a 4yo Doxie terrier mix, and Cupcake, a 3yo Havanese mix. Ruby is a little grumpy but has been rescued for years. Cupcake is a recent rescue and is still getting acclimated to being in a home. She's downright unpleasant if she's in a bad mood. They need someone very gentle and patient and ideally with experience with rescue dogs. Ruby is food aggressive and Cupcake is very toy aggressive. They do not like other animals at all. This could be as simple as you coming over three times to walk them throughout the day or full-time overnight care if interested.
