“This was our 2nd booking with Jes and she is fabulous!!! I loved seeing the photos daily and the progression of them warming up and sitting on her lap made me melt and know I left my babies in great hands! I will 1000% book Jes every time I need a sitter!!”
“Amazing cat sitter, took excellent care of my cats and did everything I asked and more! Highly recommend. Was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying in the slightest about my fur babies.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was very young and have countless cherished memories with my childhood pets. I now have a dog and 2 cats who I love spending every day with. My dog is very high energy so I’m comfortable with pretty much any dog(s). My cats are shy at first near new people but then warm up, so don’t worry if your cat is shy! I can also administer some types of medicine as I’ve taken care of diabetic pets in the past. I have 2 cats and a dog, so I feed them multiple times per day, clean their bowls regularly, clean litter boxes routinely, and play with them as much as I can. My dog likes to take a walk during lunch time, so when I’m working remotely I enjoy walking with him. As for my availability, I am able to offer pet care before work, after work, and select days during lunch time. Generally when I arrive at someone else’s house, I like to take a few minutes to get to know the pet and make sure they’re comfortable with me. Once they’re comfortable with me, I can offer them some of their food and then play for a little while if they’re interested.
About: I used to dog walk a couple dogs. Then I moved onto horses. So I know I can handle the hardest canines. They’re fun to have around. I’m working but also just thinking about doing this instead. Work gets boring and this wouldn’t. I love animals and they tend to love me back. I have a giant yard. They can’t be off leash but we can have fun running in the grass. I have animals that will stay upstairs when the dog or cat is here.
About: I grew up with cats and my best friend had dogs. I would always help her take care of them and took care of cats as my best friends. When I met my fiancé he had a 5 year old beagle and I fell even more in love with dogs. My dream one day is to open a senior dog sanctuary, but until then, I will take care of my own dogs and help others care for theirs! Our pets are part of our families and they deserve the best treatment. I work from home with a consistent schedule and am available for walks and check ins after 3:30pm during the week and any time during the weekend. I have 2 small beagles who love all dogs and love to play. They will make great play mates and walk companions to keep your pooch company.
“Trish was great with our puppy. After the initial meet and greet, we were very comfortable having Trish come to our house and care for our puppy. She is clearly an animal lover. Her communication is excellent. She also sent us pictures and an overview of how things went during each visit. We are looking forward to having Trish care for Betty again.”
“Karen is a very kind dog sitter. She met every one of my expectations and more. I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew the pups were being well cared for at home. Thank you Karen!”
“Tara's become our go-to over the last year and a half for taking care of our two cats, Ichigo and Freya. She's been amazing accommodating our super shy cat and keeps our bird feeders full and plants watered too. We have every intention of keeping Tara as our sitter for as long as she continues to do pet sitting.10/10”
About: As an athlete, I understand the importance of routine and daily exercise. I have experience taking care of my families pets from a young age! I am capable of walking, feeding and playing with your pets while you are away. I have experience with high energy and senior pets. I am transitioning into a new part of my life and want to use my free time to explore my passion for animal care! I work part time and am available monday, wednesday, friday, saturday and sunday throughout the day, and tuesday and thursday after 2pm. When caring for pets in my clients home I will respect their privacy and prioritize routine for their animals. I am prompt and hardworking, and ensure all duties will be completed to the best of my ability.
“Alyssa did a great job checking in on my dog while I was away for a conference! My dog is usually very shy around strangers and tends to hide, but she was patient and gentle with him. She even got him to go out and potty. She sent photos and updates every visit, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated her care and communication, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Barb exceeded every expectation. She was polite, professional, and communicative. I had no concerns that our pet was well taken care of in our absence. I recommend her without hesitation.”
“Katherine is the best cat sitter out there! She's extremely patient and amazing with my scaredy cat! She has watched my cat several times already and I request her every time I travel! :)”
“Mickey was great with Kit. Got him out playing, eating well, he even got up on her lap for petting. Mickey is amazing. I completely trusted her to take care of my boy and she did a wonderful job. I'm so glad Kit responded so well to her.”
