“Levi has been a godsend this summer for me! With a very busy schedule this year and having to leave Ollie for a couple weeks for the 1st time, I felt so much better that Levi was gonna be here to check in on her! I appreciate the daily pictures so much and the updates on her spirits in my absence. Ollie is not a lap cat but she loves being in the presence of people. I think Ollie fell in love with Levi so both Ollie and I recommend :)”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for all 26 years, but I’d say I’ve been able to take care of dogs for 20. I’ve had four different family dogs I’ve helped raise. I was a friends personal dog walker for about a year, but I moved. My grandmother bred and boarded dogs most of her life so I grew up around dogs with someone who knows a lot about them. I’ve also helped friends raise and somewhat train their puppies. I believe I’m different from other dog walkers because I’m not just doing it as a job, I will love your dog as my own and will enjoy helping with them. I’m looking to see all dogs but I could also sit them if you ever needed or wanted! And I love all dog breeds and sizes I can handle them all. I’m currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is very open to help you with your cats and or dogs in my free time I will love your pets as if they’re my own. I’ll gladly take them for walks or play with them based off what you ask me to do!
“Cassandra was wonderful with our rambunctious dog and easygoing cat. She was flexible and reliable, communicated clearly, and sent great pictures. We came home to happy animals. Would definitely book Cassandra again!”
About: I've been a special needs dog owner, am honored to be loved by my partner's parrot, as well as taken care of other dogs, cats, rabbits, geese, goats, and am a horse person. I can throw hay, if given proper instructions can put together the morning grain. I love taking care of bonded pairs of house rabbits, as well as curling up with a doggo or a kitty. If I'm doing in home, I tend to first feed the pet(s) in the morning, before I get myself breakfast, and the same for dinner. If drop in is needed, I'll be there morning, & evening, potentially mid day as well. I tend to sit for new clients in their home, depending upon established client I may sit in my house for well behaved dogs. If at my house, your dog will never be outside without some sort of leash, whether it's a 6' or a 50' long line, as I have a not fenced in yard, with a well traveled road at the end of my driveway.
“Second time we have used Jen. Could not be more pleased. Great communication, pets are happy and healthy, and she does exactly what she says she will. Thank you Jen. You release the stress of having to leave our pets.”
“Eliot has continued training with CK while on walks and has made significant progress with him and his reactivity. CK has gained confidence and having Eliot do daily walks has significantly helped his anxiety on being home alone as well! We are lucky to have found her!”
“Amy was personable and professional, and she kept in touch with photo updates when we were away. I believe our sweet kitty was well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
About: A little bit about me- I have cared for all sorts of animals growing up. Had my fair share of animals, dogs, cats, turtles to smaller furry critters and reptiles. Animal lover to the extreme! Animals are basically my therapy. 😄 I’m full time for caring for your furry friends. I enjoy any animal and love to care for them. Let me help be your favorite friendly furry friend care giver! I follow the same schedule your pets are used to, which makes it a lot more comfortable in knowing there’s no disruption in there everyday life. I care for them like they’re my own. 🙂
“Quite pleased with Sue. I only have a cat but that said , my cat came out to play with Sue swishing Maggie’s’ fishing pole. I knew this because I got many photos and text which makes me so happy when I am away. Will definitely use again.”
“We highly recommend Maggie and we will be having her care for our pets again in the future! Maggie took great care of our three cats. We appreciated the way she gave us timely updates about each cat and made sure they ate and drank. The cats seemed to really enjoy having Maggie stop in to visit. She was flexible and communicative throughout! Really made us feel at ease while we were away.”
“Ashley is wonderful. She communicates, send tons of photos, and is extremely trustworthy. We would absolutely hire her again! Lucky to have found her in such short notice as well. Thank you Ashley 👏🏽”
“Ricky was so great with my 2 cats while I was away on vacation for a week. He was Very responsive to text messages, and made sure the cats were well taken care of. My cats were a bit elusive and hesitant at first, but once I saw pictures of both of them interacting with Ricky, I was put at ease knowing they trusted him.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have one dog of my own. She is my world. I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Pet care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously. At 42 y/o I am going back to school! Working full time doesn't work with my schedule. Gigging does, plus I can do what actually love! Hang out with animals! In the clients home, I am diligent, and respect all the requests of the client especially when it comes to pet care. Overarching, is love. I provide calm and loving care. I understand that pets can get stressed without their primary caregivers. My job is to alleviate that as best I can. I have a natural ability to connect to animals which makes me a great choice for in home sitting, or drop in care. I'm also physically fit and I love to hike and walk with dogs. It's a win win win for me.
