Pet Sitting Black Hills

About: I have taken care of and been around pets my whole life. I grew up with a dog for a short time and two cats. Those cats are now 16 and 17 so I have learned to adapt to their dietary needs as well as administer different medications they may need. I also adopted a senior kitty about a year ago who also has belly and GI issues so I have learned to take care of that. I have pet sat for many friends and family members. I enjoy taking dogs on walks to playing with cats! I currently work part time at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital! I work 2-4 days a week depending so my schedule is varied. I am more than willing to switch around my schedule to help watch some furry friends ! With my own cat personally, I take time each day to entertain her and play with her weather that means we go for a little walk or brush her. I am very cautious about the types of plants, clearers, and objects I have around that may be harmful to pets.

“First time using River and got so lucky with Melissa. We booked kinda last minute but she was super flexible and came over to meet our cats the next day. She recognized my older cat wasn’t eating much and made sure to put food out to ensure she got nutrition. She was super sweet and I know our kitties got plenty of interaction and play time. It gave us such peace of mind to know Melissa was watching our girls. If we need a sitter in the future, I would definitely reach out to her.”

“Andy was wonderful! She communicated with me throughout and took such great care of my cats. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with her again in the future.”

“Kate came over to meet Ursa before her first visit. She was really sweet and Ursa, who is very shy, warmed right up to her. I felt safe leaving Ursa in Kate’s care.”

“Maelee was amazing! First time using Rover and I was impressed how thorough and thoughtful Maelee was caring for my dog. She was super punctual during her timed visits, always provided pictures of my dog consistently and communicated very well during her visits. I HIGHLY recommend Maelee to care for your pets!!!!!”

About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.

“Holly Jean was wonderful! She sent me detailed updates about how her drop in visit went. She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”

“Hannah is super nice and is great with animals. She communicated very well while watching our cat and got some great photos to share! We had a meet and greet ahead of time and felt very comfortable having her come to our home to care for our cat.”

“Lauren had great communication and flexibility. I came home to no messes and 2 happy girls! Would definitely recommend and will use again in the future if needed.”

Michelle K.

“Had to do last minute planning and she came through! Thank you so much. You were great ❤️”

“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”

Alex F.

“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”

About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.

“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”
