About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!

About: I have a couple years of pet sitting experience, both drop-ins and house sitting. I have always been a pet lover, and enjoy meeting new animals. I’ve watched active dogs, and dogs with dietary restrictions. I’m home for summer break and have a very flexible schedule. I can’t wait to meet your pets! At this time, I have open availability as I’m home for the summer. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits. I’m open to long and short term visits as well! I approach every visit knowing that all pets have different needs. I love having detailed directions to insure that I can care for your pets to the best of my availability.
“What a pleasure to have Najia (pronounced Na-ZI-a) care for our Siamese/Himalayan cat Bandit. We got photos each day as requested and it was easy to see that Bandit was starting to feel at home. Her home was quiet, clean and appropriate without animal odors . Bandit, who is quite friendly anyway, became comfortable with her little blind dog and later with her own cats. (She had actually kept her own 2 cats separate for Bandit's comfort but one day he went exploring, found them and made friends.) We highly recommend Najia.”

lindsey g.
“Lindsey is an incredible pet sitter, and I couldn’t recommend her more! I usually worry when having someone watch Stella because she’s high maintenance, but with Lindsey, that thought doesn’t even cross my mind. She takes such great care of my beagle, treating her like one of her own. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Stella is in loving and capable hands when I’m away. Lindsey is reliable, attentive, and truly understands animals. I always come home to a happy pup, and that means everything to me. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet like family, Lindsey is the one!”
