Pet Sitting in West Lawn

“Whitney eased my mind coming to my home to let out our new puppy while I was at work. She let her out, played with her, and gave her treats I asked to give. Whitney provided updates as well as photos immediately during the visit and after. Harper loves her visits with Whitney!”

“Cindi checked in with photos on each drop in visit for our Teddy while we were away. She went above and beyond in my estimation, coming to the house to meet him, stopping by for keys for a last show around before we left, and she brought the keys back to us after we returned home. I have two small children, and we stay pretty busy, so that little trip saves me a real hassle with loading everyone up into car seats and making a trip out. We were really able to enjoy our vacation without guilt knowing that teddy had someone caring and thoughtful like that to come and check in on him. Thank you Cindi!”

About: Hi, I am a mature, quiet, easy going single woman who loves animals. I am 70 years old, I’ve owned horses for 37 years and I grew up with dogs since childhood and have owned dogs in my adult life as well. I have done pet/house sitting for many years and have had no problems with anyone in my care. I have given shots to a diabetic dog, meds in a dropper to a cat and pills down the throat of many a dog and cat. I have an easy going approach and there isn't too much that ruffles my feathers. Dogs always like to sit on the couch with me to watch TV at night...LOL. I have 37yrs experience with horses and taking care of them and their barns. I’ve also helped my dog groomer friend by bathing, drying and clipping the hair inside their paws. If you have any questions or need additional info, feel free to ask. Why I love pet sitting/walking I was raised with dogs, had them after I got married, then got a corgi after my divorce. While married, I confiscated the family dog because I did not feel he was getting enough attention at my family's home. I did some Flyball and agility with my corgi, Geraldine who passed in 2013 at the age of 15. Walking a dog gets us both out and about and it also tells me a lot about the behavior of the dog, their reactions to people and other dogs as well as strange noises. I love their personalities and their antics and watching them play with other dogs. The same applies to horses. Being around them helps me get to know them and their personalities and eating habits I’m currently retired so I’ll have plenty of time to play/walk and work with your dogs, play with your kitties and spend time with your horses. I do not have a fenced in yard so walking your dog is best or taking them to a dog park. I’d care for them like they were my own. I would also stay at your home if needed so that your pet can stay in a familiar environment. If you have horses, I could stay at your home as well and take care of them as well as taking care of your barn and stalls.

“The kitties looked calm and happy. Anya is reliable, personable, and takes her time with them. I could tell from the photos the kitties really like her!”

“Emma did an amazing job taking care of Walter! Thank you!”

“Kaitlin did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Milo for the week while we were on vacation. The daily updates and photos put my mind at ease and she was on time with her check ins every day. Milo seemed to have thrived under her care and I am so grateful that she was available and took such great care of him. She even went the extra mile and brought our packages in that were delivered while we were away! Thanks for everything Kaitlin! ?”

“Karen did a fantastic job of looking after my cat. She kept me up to date with photos. This is the first trip in a very long time that I didn’t worry constantly about my cat!! I will definitely use Karen again.”

“Pavlos took great care of my kittens. They are a little shy but I needed someone to watch them while I was gone. He took care of my kittens like they were his own and he was very communicative.”

“Andrew was a great sitter for our guinea pig Jasper. He’s very thoughtful, attentive and follows directions well. Having such a great sitter makes going away easier. We will book him in the future! He also took care of my herbs while we were away which was also much appreciated.”

“Alison did a great job with our little girl Fig. She arrived on time and played/ walked / fed her three times per day. I can highly recommend her services , she is great!”

“Victoria has watched my two dogs many of times while I've been on vacation. She has always been trustworthy and dependable and shows my dogs love and affection. I feel very comfortable with my favorite furry children in her care!”

“Kim always takes care of our pups while we are away. She cares for your pups and your home as if it were her own. She's truly amazing. If you are looking to go away a few days and want peace of mind, definitely book Kim and John.”

“I have a small dog and big dog. They are senior dogs and like their routine. Kaidalyn was so sweet to my dogs and they loved her. She also went by all the list of things I left for her and cleaned up an accident. I appreciate you caring for my dogs while I was away! I highly recommend Kaidalyn to watch your fur babies, I couldn’t have found a better person!”

“Natalie is the godmother of my two dogs. She loves & cares for them as her own. She’s reliable & has helped with feeding them, walking them & spoiling them with their favorite toys & treats.”

“Matthew grew up with a border collie. He ran and walked Flash routinely. Flash was 65 pounds so when Matt played tug on a pull toy Flash would drag him across the room. the more he laughed the more the dog would pull. It was hilarious. Matthew has grown to be a physical therapist. He lived with a girlfriend who loved miniature shelties. She bought 2. As breeds go, they are very protective, so they bark a lot. Despite this trait, Matthew treated those 2 girls like his fur babies. His job as a PT requires responsibility, patience, and kindness, which easily transfers to pets. He is volunteering at his local shelter. Both he We decided to have 2 border collies in our house. When Matt comes to visit, he always ensures the dogs have sufficient exercise. Both he and Riley/Skye love to cuddle on the couches. I recommend Matthew without reservation.”

“I have three dogs. A large goldendoodle, medium labradoodle, and a medium mix breed lab. The lab is high energy and is hard to handle. Jack did a fabulous job walking with him and keeping him safe along with the two others. I would recommend Jack for walking and dropping in to play. He is amazing. He is also so personable and able to be trusted.”

“I cannot recommend this Lauren highly enough! She is punctual, reliable, and genuinely caring—traits that are immediately apparent from the way she interacts with my dog, Jasper. It’s clear she is passionate about animals and highly knowledgeable. My dog always comes home happy and tired—a sure sign of a great walk! If you’re looking for someone to trust with your furry friend, look no further.”

“I am SO HAPPY we found Emily! The pups love her and she always takes the time to consider their emotional health..I never worry about my fur babies!”

“Stephanie was outstanding. Her attention to detail was fantastic. Everyone was very comfortable with her and she took great care of my dog and cats. She sent 5 or 6 pictures versus the standard 1 or 2. Kept me informed on a visit to visit basis which gave me piece of mind that everyone was being taken care of in the best possible way. I would highly recommend Stephanie and definitely will be requesting her again.”

“I can’t thank Julia enough for the level of dedication she has for making my pup feel right at home! I was a little nervous to leave my dog, Lola, with someone new. During our meet and greet, Lola clicked with Julia right away. You can tell how much she truly loves animals and I knew I made the right choice. You won’t be disappointed with Julia and as long as she’s available, she will be my go to. My favorite part was getting loads of pictures and videos while I was away!”
