About: Hi there, I'm Robin! I love animals, and recently lost my dog to old age. I'm not quite ready to find myself another furbaby, but I have so much love to give, that I thought I'd fill the void with pet sitting. I still have an older cat at home, which is why at this time, I'm not boarding in my home. I've owned several cats and dogs over the past 30 some odd years. During that time, I've dealt with their health issues like kidney disease and diabetes. Because of the care I've given my own pets, I am well versed in giving oral medications, eye drops, special diets, and injections (both subcutaneous and muscular). I'm lucky enough to have a pretty open schedule, only working one or two days a week, so I will be available most of the time to keep your pets company, take them for walks, and give them their meals on their schedule, not mine. I can also do drop ins pretty freely, if that's what you prefer. I am retired, although I took a job that gets me out of the house and talking to people one or two days a week, because I needed the interactions. I'll be able to spend most, if not all, days and nights caring for your pets. I know how important our fur babies are! I will care for and love on yours just as if they were mine. I'll follow your guidelines and schedules, so your pets will be as comfortable as they can be until your return.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages and stages. I have delivered puppies and taken care of them through their first 8 weeks of life. I have cared for older dogs giving them medication in various ways. I am a typical home body so overnight stays will ensure that your pet is seen, cuddled and cared for extended periods of time throughout the week. Daily I am home by 5:00. In my home pets are apart of the family. My only boundary is that pets are not allowed on the furniture, me and my kids have allergies and need the sheets to be clean!


“Alice is fantastic!! Open and frequent communication, she provides pictures! Super attentive to how much your pet is eating/drinking and any changes in any behaviors that could be of concern! Our dog, Ruby loves her! Makes leaving her home while we are away so much easier. I can’t recommend her enough, she’s fantastic!”


“Kristen was wonderful! She came over and met our dog before hand. She was very observant with all the details of the care routine. She showed up on time and was very dependable. We were quite anxious about leaving our dog for the first time, and Kristen put our minds at ease. We will be using her again in the future!”


About: I am an experienced pet-sitter of 10+ years taking care of family members, friends, & neighbors pets whenever they needed. I am flexible to watch any breed and any size dog. My priority is making sure these furry friends feel just as loved and taken care of as if their humans never left town! Another priority that sets me apart is constant communication with the owners by sending pictures and updates as often as they’d like. I’m currently working hours where it is very easy to run and let my own pet out every 2 hours daily. My work schedule is not something that has ever gotten in the way of excellent care of anyone’s pets. I am in a home and have a fenced in backyard that makes it very easy to board dogs in my own home with plenty of space. As far as staying in a clients home which I prefer, I make sure to go above and beyond to be there as much as possible with the pets & ensure they feel comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are out of town. I always ensure that I leave the house better than I found it and always respect any of my clients homes and have constant open communication.

“We are so happy to have Kelly! She is more than we could have asked for. She is friendly, professional, dependable, kind, and caring. She has gone above and beyond for us and Henry loves her. We definitely recommend her!”
