Pet Sitting Allendale

About: Hi! I’m Diane, and I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years. I’ve had pets of my own for most of my life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need lots of play and patience to older pets who would rather have a slower walk and some company on the couch. I genuinely love animals and tend to treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, very attentive to their routines and behavior, and I’m more than happy to provide plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for pet care throughout the day and evening. Whether you need an early morning walk, midday potty break, afternoon playtime, evening feeding, or overnight care, I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crates, medications, doors/gates, and any house rules you have. I’m also very mindful of body language and never force interaction with a nervous or unsure pet. Their safety and comfort always come first, along with respecting your home while I’m there.

“CJ was awesome! I didn’t realize that I was almost out of cat food in the feeder. CJ messaged me, got the food needed (special diet that has to be picked up from the vet), and reloaded the feeder. I called the vet with my card to pay for it but the service was amazing. She sent me pics of my cat and the food, water, and litter. Great service! Above and beyond!”

About: Imagine getting paid to do the best thing in the world. For me, the best thing in the world is taking care of animals, so becoming a pet sitter was a no-brainer! My name is Caroline, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I'm a dog mom to a very sweet basenji named Jordy. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! I value prompt, efficient communication, so you can always reach me by phone and trust you’ll get a quick reply.

“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”

“I’m so grateful I found her! She is so great at communicating and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m especially thankful that I’m able to use her for the month that I’m here. She has been so kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”

About: My day job is as a wildlife biologist, and I have worked with everything from Japanese giant salamanders to gopher tortoises. I have watched pets for neighbors and friends for years and love dogs especially! I am free in evenings (5pm or later) and weekends pretty consistently (I work full time as a wildlife biologist during the day). Happy with long or short walks, even on hot days. I don't have any pets at home right now, but I am comfortable with a wide variety of animals. I am skilled at reading animal body language and always strive to make pets feel safe.

About: I grew up with dogs, and I adopted my dog Bailey in 2019. I have plenty of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family members. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am happy to accept same day requests to help take care of your fur babies. I am available every day. I do not offer care in my home. I can provide drop in services or dog walks in your neighborhood. I also have experience handling reactive animals.

“First time. I have no complaints. She cleaned up what was unexpected. It was also very short notice but was great at responding back. I really appreciate it!”

Brooke S.

“Brooke was very attentive and responsive taking care of my cats while I was away for a couple days. She cleaned up after them rather than just doing the bare minimum. I would definitely book again! Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.

“Jamilla was incredible. We left for 10 days and she came in and treated our pets like family. She was very quick with responses and I can tell how much she genuinely cares about our animals...and they loved her too! Thank you so much Jamilla. I can't recommend her enough and I will be using her again.”

“Amy was great! She followed all the instructions for caring for our kitties and they were happy and healthy upon our return.”

“Rebecca did an excellent job taking care of my cat. Would gladly book with her again.”

“Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!”

“Olivia is enthusiastic and committed to doing the best for your pets. My two big dogs loved her, and she handled the responsibilities of not only my dogs but an Amazon parrot, and two reef tanks. She followed my specific instructions very well. I can recommend her for any house sitting visits you may need for your dog (or other creatures!).”

“During my 2-week absence, Christian did a fabulous job caring for my cats Tommy and Coco. Because she was communicative and responsive, I experienced no anxiety about leaving them in her care. Christian sent me wonderful pictures and texts that reflected her extraordinary gift for compassionate caregiving. Tommy and Coco were obviously happy and stress free because Christian loved and cared for them as I do. My cats were literally crazy for her, as she spoiled them rotten. Amazingly, Tommy posed in pictures with Christian, as if she’d raised him from a kitten; and my skittish Coco, who normally hides from strangers, allowed Christian to regularly find her “hiding.” I give Christian my highest praise for a job exceptionally done. I could not have been more pleased. Not only is she professional and courteous, Christian has a phenomenal gift of spirit. For anyone seeking pet care of excellent quality, I would recommend Christian. In the future, she will be my first choice to care for my Tommy and Coco.”

“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

“Nancy did an excellent job dropping in to take care of my cat, Arthur, for six days while I was out of town. She was also able to accommodate me on extremely short notice, as a sitter that I had lined up had to cancel just a few days before the trip due to a family emergency. Nancy stopped by at the right time every day to give Arthur consistent care, which is important for a cat that can be fussy and relies on routine. She told me that she enjoyed brushing cats' coats when I first met her, and when I got back, Arthur's coat was beautiful! Arthur clearly enjoyed Nancy's visits, and I'll be sure to call on her again the next time I take a trip.”
