“Rachel is great-she has always been available and takes really good care of my fur baby who needs a little extra care with meds and such. She's also prompt at responding to questions. I really appreciate her!”
“Syl was so patient & caring. We needed help while out of town giving our kitty her hyperthyroid meds. Syl was able to give her the pill, and sent lots of pictures during the visit. She even sent pictures of the other kitties while on her visit as well. Would for sure use her again! Felt very comfortable with leaving her to care of our babies.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting off and on for the last few years. I did it all throughout college and looking to continue sitting in my post grad life. I currently work as a teacher and I am at school from 6:50-3:30. I only pet sit for animals that will be ok during those hours and don’t need someone during those times. I follow all instructions provided. I care for animals the way you would if you were here! I provide care that will keep them safe and happy until you can be home again.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past ten years. I extremely care about a dogs wellbeing and happyness. I have experience giving medications to dogs, as my own dog requries daily medication. I also have experience wiping out and flushing a dogs ears, as my dog needs daily ear wipes. I am also more than willing to bathe and brush their coats. I also have experience with older dogs and am more than willing to provide assistance. I am currently a full time student, with an on campus job. But I have built in a mid-day break, of whihc will allow me to stop by and say hi to your furry friend. Additionally, my classes do not start until 9-9:30 AM, which will allow me to stop by in the mornings, if desired. My work day/ classes end around 5 PM each day, which will allow me to have plenty of time in the evenings to spend with your pet. I also have every Friday off, which will allow me to spend time with your pet! When I visit a clients home, will always make sure that their pet has enough water, and food. I will also ensure that any doors or gates (that are specified) are closed or open for their convenience and safety. Additionally, if I notice that the pet has gotten sick or made a mess, I will always clean it up with pet safe cleaners. I will also investigate and try to find out what caused them to get sick or make a mess. I will also record it and notify their owner of the occurance.
“Mya was wonderful and we will hire her again when we go on our next vacation. She is dependable and kept us updated while we were gone. It was nice to relax knowing our pets were in good hands.”
About: I grew up in a household that bred rottweilers so I know the importance of good training and leadership with puppies. I have had many dogs in my life so I am experienced in all stages of a dogs life, including special needs dogs. I currently have two husky mixes that are high energy so I know the importance of going on a good walk. I am comfortable with all sizes of dog, from teacup to giant and ALL breeds I am currently working full time but have mornings and days off free to take care of your pets. I have a set schedule so I should be able to set a routine if you'd like I will keep your dog on a leash at all times outside of the home. I will also make sure to keep an eye on them at all times while they are in my care.

About: Me and my family have owned dogs, cats, horses, poultry, rabbits and fish since I was young! I have been relied on by my family to help care for all of these animals since I was able to! I now own a dog and have multiple cats myself and have been pet sitting since 2018! I love getting the chance to meet new pets and pet parents and helping them feel comfortable while they are away! I do work a full time job so I’m only taking drop in visit bookings currently. I will always treat your fur babies as my own and make time for them around my schedule! I treat every fur baby as if they were my own and I always grow so attached to the pets I meet. I have no problem just hanging out with them if that’s what they like to do or spending the day playing! I also am comfortable with giving any medications, just not injections, they may need!
About: I provide individual attention to each dog, along with a loving and fun environment. I recognize that each dog has its own temperament and idiosyncrasies and try to respond appropriately. While in grad school, I house sat for my cousin's dogs (two Yorkies) on a weekly basis. I also sat for several professors' dogs (and cats) for various lengths of time. My time was limited while I was in school. However, I am now retired. My time is my own, and I can give your precious pet my full time and attention. I live in a three-bedroom house and just had a new vinyl fence installed. I am also having a deck put in so, weather permitting, I can spend quality time outdoors with your dog.
About: I have dog sit for many family members and neighbors, this included long walks, belly rubs, and feeding they’re dogs. I have stayed in some family / friends homes for a lengthy amount of time. I am free most days. I enjoy working out and would love to include walking your dogs in my workout. It will be fun for the both of us :) I will make sure your dog is happy and well taken care of. I am capable to make sure the house is all locked up and your dog is safe overnight.

I can’t recommend Chelsea enough. I’d trust her with my boy any day. He doesn’t do well with strangers and she was so patient with him. He also has IBD and had multiple bad bathroom trips and she cleaned it up and got him right every time with no complaints. She was very attentive and responsive, I highly recommend her for any animal needs :)
