This was our second time having Emilee check in on our cat, Archie, while we were out of town. She took great care of him and even brought in some packages that were delivered while we were away. We really appreciate her photo updates as well.

About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!

Makenna was great! She was even able to go out of her way and meet with us on a very short notice ahead of time. All of our animals absolutely love her. Makenna is one of the best pet sitters we have had and we will definitely be asking her to help in the future!

About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.

Will definitely REBOOK in the future. She was AMAZING while taking care of my cat and making sure my plants were watered while I was gone. She took cute pictures of him, PLAYED with him, REFILLED his WATER and FOOD bowl everyday. She also gave my cat TREATS and LOTS OF SNUGGLES. Our cat loves her and we do too!
