Pet Sitting in Beach Lake

“Isabella has three dogs at home and provides excellent care for them. She plays with them daily and lets them outside when needed. She also feeds bathes and grooms them. The dogs are excited to see her when she returns home.”

About: Growing up we had Anatolian shepherds and my first dog as an adult was an English Mastiff. So, large breeds are welcomed! I rescued an older dog off the streets when I lived in St. Thomas. This has made me patient and comfortable with dogs that may not be so great on a leash. I had a diabetic cat and had to give her insulin shots and when my Mastiff fell ill there were numerous medications involved. Therefore, I’m comfortable with administering medication. I’m happy to stop in and check on your beloved pet, take for walks, and give lots of love while in your home. I will treat your pup as I treat my own! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur-child! I’m available mornings, afternoons and evenings. I’m also available to stay in your home for petcare while you’re on vacation. Happy to help with all your pet needs! In your home, I will follow all instructions provided. I will treat your pet as I treat my own. You can expect long walks, tons of play time and lots of attention.

“Melissa provides excellent pet care services for my 3 cats and dog. My German Shepherd is high energy, and reactive to other dogs, but Melissa has become accustomed to her needs. She is friendly and the animals love her. Your pets will be in good hands.”

“Olivia was great! She took really good care of our boys, including our senior dachshund. She was communicative and always sent photos when she came to feed them! Definitely going to use Olivia again!”

“Nate took good care of my 2 senior cats while I was away on vacation. He did daily drop in visits, litter box, fed/watered, gave 1 daily medication, and spent time with them. He also sent pics and gave me updates. My house was clean when I got home. Nate was prompt to respond on the site, we met in advance at a public eatery to get to know each other, and he came to my house after to meet my cats and get a basic run down on their needs. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and my cats took an instant liking to him. I would highly recommend him to others and will hire him again in the future! It's so hard to find good, reliable yet reasonable pet care. Thank you so much Nate!!!”

“As Lillie’s older sister, I’ve observed her kindness, compassion, and empathy from a young age. Lillie was immediately bonded to our childhood cat and dog, and they were inseparable, practically best friends. Lillie now has two cats that are her whole world. She has always been quick to connect with every animal she’s met. Lillie has a gentleness that animals are drawn to and has often connected more with animals than she has people. I cannot imagine anyone being a better pet caregiver than Lillie.”

“First time using Ashley for a drop in visit to feed our 2 cats while out of town for the holidays. She showed up on time and cleaned the litter boxes, fed them and gave them fresh water. Will definitely book her again!”

“If Rover had Elite sitters, Grace would be it! The most reliable, communicative + friendly sitter we've had. We found Grace for our group of 3-family-dogs while we went to a concert. She came twice - for three VERY different and demanding dogs (in their own way lol). She was able to handle all three perfectly, sending lots of pictures and left the cutest notes about her experience. So thankful for Grace + cannot wait to book her again.”

“Harmony was great with our two pups for a drop in visit! She was timely and thorough with communication and offered to stop by the day prior, for a “meet and great”. She was wonderful with our dogs and sent me pictures of them! We would definitely use her again and would recommend her!”

“Alexis did great job. She stopped by before the visit to meet my four cats. She really likes all animals and she is very personable. I enjoyed getting updates & pictures from her while I was gone. My cats did great.”

“Anna was punctual and spent quality time with Sophie. We loved seeing the photos of Sophie while we were away. Overall, Anna did a great job and would highly recommend her!”

“Best Dog walker i’ve met! She is extremely sweet and social. She took the time to get to know my dog, and what he enjoys best. They are a great pair. My dog comes home well exercised and then sleeps for hours! If you are looking for someone to meet your fury pups she is the Women to go to! I will forever be choosing her to walk my dog!”

“Second time in a row hiring Kayla. Just as great as the first time.”

“Logan is always wonderful and reliable. I had him meet my super anxious doberman foster dog and he was very patient.”

“Where do I begin? I was strapped for time in finding Ash some accommodations. Taiwo not only responded quickly but went the extra mile throughout the whole process. It’s obvious he cares about the pets he takes care of. Taiwo was very communicative, he followed instructions to a T, and never made me feel like my cat Ash was in bad hands. Thanks T”

“Eric was an absolute blessing in helping my animals as well as catering to my schedule needs. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone”

“Becky is an amazing sitter, she’s been such a great help to us for taking care of our 2 cats when we are away for 2 weeks (just like last time she took good care of our dog) really appreciate your help!”

About: I am committed to only offering the best care and comfort to your pets. Right from starting as a pet sitter, I’ve taken care of a senior dog with issues like incontinence, and adhering to a schedule that fits his needs best. I have experience in administering medication and using a diaper wrap to fit his needs at night. Requirements like this do not throw me off of offering your pet the best love and care a sitter can give. I am a college student during the week, so my main pet-sitting hours will be open during weekends, unless there’s an early morning short visit that comes my way. When visiting a client’s home for pet care, I always make sure the pet is comfortable and no one (especially cats) move or knock over objects that can disrupt the functionality of the home. I’ve had experience living in someone’s home before while pet sitting and am always committed to leaving it as pristine as when I arrived- even when some pets were committed to having a bit too much fun

“Accommodating. Very nice. Kept us updated and sent us pictures while we were away. We would definitely book again.”
