“This was our first time using Jody. When she came for the Meet and Greet our cat immediately took to her. We needed her for one visit. She was reliable especially spending time with Buster and caring for him.”
“Shayna was amazing! She had to deal with some difficult and unexpected problems with one of our cats and a break in our sewage system! She handled things very adeptly and kept us constantly informed. She is a very caring and conscientious sitter. We will definitely use her again!!!”
About: I've been surrounded by furry friends my whole life. Chores in my early life included taking care of my childhood cats and dogs. I also have experience raising a litter of pups and caring for senior dogs with special needs. After college, I began raising my own dog, Birdie. My dog and I love adventuring outside in the woods and I am on a mission to visit 12 National Parks with her during her lifetime. Whether it's park romps, creek runs, or nail trims, I'm a pro at keeping dog companions happy and healthy. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of availability in July, August, and September 2025. I will keep my profile updated with my availablility. I am available for house sitting, as well as early morning (before 8a), midday (11a-1p), or evening (after 4p) visits. Please reach out for scheudling Winter Holiday pet care. My daily routine starts with letting the dog out to use the restroom, then she gets fed, and then I start my day. We walk at least once a day and we try and get to the local park as often as we can (because smells in the neighborhood get boring). My nightly routine consists of letting the dog out one more time (just in case), then brushing my teeth and tucking myself into bed beside the dog, who usually gets her own pillow. Boarding services can be offered with my current living situation, however, two cats will be present (both have lived with dogs their whole life), along with my dog (she is quite friendly and loves to play keep-away with other furry friends). The yard is large and unfenced with a huge amount of woods out back. There is an outdoor kennel with a doghouse. My dog hates it but yours might like it. I have plenty of experience walking two dogs at once, so no problem taking Birdie and your dog on a walk together.
“Kristina and Mark were excellent sitters! They communicated well, kept everything clean, sent great photos. My two shy cats really liked them! Would love to hire them again if we go out of town.”
“This was our first time using Callie. Originally she was to come every other day for three weeks. Our cat developed pancreatitis prior to our leaving. She quickly agreed to come 2xs per day for the initial 9 days to complete medication regimen, then came every other day. She was reliable with this plan. Our cat continued to heal and return to his normal healthy self. I only wished that Callie had more time to spend per visit with Buster, although Callie said she would “check-in” after being at the house for awhile which would be more than the “5-10” minute average it showed each visit. It would help to have Callie check-in right when she arrives at the door so a more accurate time span would be recorded. We did appreciate her flexibility in helping with unexpected medical needs.”
“Brittany provided exceptional care for our little feline companion during our recent vacation. Her punctuality and meticulous adherence to our cat's feeding, litter box maintenance, and medication regimen were truly impressive. Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cat, a testament to Brittany's dedication. We particularly appreciated her strong work ethic and commitment to cleanliness. Without reservation, we wholeheartedly recommend Brittany's professional pet-sitting services!”
