“Henriette was fantastic with Darci and was confident in handling her- our dog was a happy camper while away getting lots of walks, treats and attention. I was so relaxed being away knowing Darci was in good hands.”
“Macon was amazing with our two kitties. While our one cat is very social and loves attention, our other cat is very shy and doesn’t trust people easily. By the end of our trip, our shy kitty was all snuggled up and loving the attention. Macon sent photos and a check-in update during each visit. Feels good to know our kitties are in safe hands while we are away. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent communication and very helpful to know my cat was treated with kindness and care while I was away. Would love to have Kelsey watch my pet in the future. Thank you again, appreciate you very much!”
“Ivy is amazing with our four-legged baby who is 12. She is so reliable and amazing with Colbie. I book her over and over again because I know Colbie is so well taken care of with Ivy!”
“Couldn’t be more thankful to Heather for the great care she gave my pup! Getting a new puppy can be stressful but knowing I had someone to help take great care of her gave me so much peace of mind!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. With plenty of experience, I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help! I work a full-time rotating schedule where I’m on for 7 days straight and then off for 7 days. My work week always starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. During those 7 workdays, I’m working full-time each day. After that, I get a full week off to rest and take care of personal things. It’s a repeating cycle—7 days on, 7 days off—so every other week I’m either working or completely off I pet sit because I genuinely love what I do — and animals love me back. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. When pets stay with me in my home, they become part of the family. I make sure every animal is well-fed, always has fresh water, and most importantly — plenty of playtime and affection. They get a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel right at home. When I care for pets in your home, I follow all instructions to the letter — from feeding and medication routines to special care details. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is always a priority. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them, your pet gets the same thing: love, attention, and top-notch care.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was about 12 years old. I grew up with animals in my home so I feel that pets are members of the family. I was the primary trainer of our dogs in our home including basic tricks & leash training. Now that I'm an adult, I foster cats and also volunteer at a local rescue as a kitty cuddler to help socialize cats who are ferrel or shy to help them with a smooth transition to their forever homes. I also have experience taking care of other animals such as turtles, fish & a hedgehogs. I also have experience with administering some medications to dogs & cats. I currently have a very flexible schedule because I'm working on creating my own business. I can be available mornings, afternoons & evenings if need be. I have a large neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs. We have a screened in porch that will allow for off leash play & fresh air.
