Makaila was absolutely fantastic watching our cat for five days. Our cat is a rescue stray, off the streets, and is very skittish. She went above and beyond to try to make friends and to put my cat at ease. She was on time, super friendly, made sure to do a meet and greet before the scheduled pet sitting, and made sure my cat was well fed, and played ball with her. Truly can’t recommend her enough! Your pet is in wonderful hands with her!

About: We always are out having fun, exploring new terrain. I have a puli and she is always craving new friends and adventures. Dogs are everything to me and the life I live, can't beat a dogs love. We get out and explore all the time as no dog should be left behind sitting around not enjoying life to the fullest. Your pets will be in good hands, treating them just like they are my own. We frequent dog parks and will rally all sorts of fun activities with your beloved animal. I love dogs, you can trust me with your precious family member. Rover is a great service! I work from home so your pets will be taken care of around the clock. I will be available to offer potty breaks whenever needed. We love on your pets like they are our own. They won't want to leave when they are in our care. Safety and their well-being is our top priority.

About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From chicken, ducks, and hedgehogs to cats and dogs and I love each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I’m currently going back to school for nursing. Aside from classes/clinical a few hours a week I’m home full time. This allows me more time with your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live on 1.6 acres off of a private road. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and sniff for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.

About: I have had pets since I was 7 years old. I wanted to be a vet when I grew up but started a different career and still enjoy taking care of mine and others pets in my free time. I am professional, trustworthy and kind. I am an executive assistant by trade so I am quite used to taking care of other people’s personal lives with integrity and discretion. I currently work a full time M-F, 8-4pm job during the week. I am available Friday nights and weekends but can make some accommodations during the week. I treat every pet as if they’re my own pet. I have a 10 year old German Shepard who I’ve had since 6 weeks old and a 2 year old cat. I am very loving towards animals but also know when to be disciplined for the pets safety. Pet safety and comfort are my biggest concerns.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to provide the best care and nurturing environment for their fur babies. 🤗 I currently work part time as a server 4 days a week. From 8am-2pm. So I’ll be available most afternoons and nights. I love to walk and be out in nature, so I feel this is a perfect opportunity for me and your fur babies. At your home I will do what you deem necessary for care of your fur baby…. And of course give them as much love and attention as they need.

She goes out of her way to take care of Levi and also makes sure he is well taken care of. She follows all my instructions as he is very spoiled. lol You will not be disappointed with her service. She is very reliable and always shows up as scheduled.

When my dog unexpectedly became very sick with a parasitic infection, Michele helped me keep an eye on her for several days. She treated me and my pet with genuine concern and love, and even though neither of us got a lot of sleep, she kept her composure and kindness and patience. I would often see her talking to my pet trying to comfort her until she felt better. Over the years I’ve seen Michele with several other animals as well. She always meets them with a calm and loving energy, and it is reciprocated. She seems to have a real connection to pets, and I would highly recommend her for her attentiveness, kindness, problem solving skills and sincerity.
