I have used Jeannette several times to care for my 4 kitties when I am away. They have gotten to know her and even my shy girl comes out to play now. I appreciate that She leaves things clean. Trash with litter and catfood cans bagged and out to trash can. Will use her again and recommend to others.

About: I'm patient, reliable, and attentive! I have experience with dogs both big and small, from puppies to seniors. I will treat your pup as if it's one of my own; from belly rubs to fetch sessions to cozy naptime, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and happy! You will get regular updates, photos and peace of mind knowing your dog is truly cared for while you're away! I structure my days around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quiet cuddle time. Whether it's early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I'm used to planning my week with pets in mind. Caring for dogs is not something I just squeeze in, I genuinely enjoy and prioritize! For dog walks and check-ins, I follow your pet's routine closely, making sure they're fed, exercised, and comfortable while you're away. For boarding in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cozy rest time. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels and needs. I always communicate with updates and photos, so you feel at ease and confident with their care.

About: I’ve spent several years caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk their pups or to just drop in for a visit! I’m comfortable walking high-energy dogs as well as senior pups who prefer a slower pace and extra patience. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and routine, including leash, manners, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is both fun and stress-free! I treat every dog like my own-lots of positive reinforcement, praise and care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pup is in good hands! I work full time at the Marion Police Department and I’m in the Army Reserves-currently my days off are Friday-Sunday. If you need help during the week, we can discuss that and see if I can squeeze you in! During walks and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while sticking closely to their normal routine. I treat every pet with patience and respect, and I provide updates after each visit so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

Elena is a great sitter we would recommend to anyone. She came over before we left for us to show her how to care for our cat which was really helpful. She sent pictures and updates regularly and you can tell she really cares about your pet. We are so glad to have Elena nearby and will for sure use her services again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

About: I've taken care of dogs for a bit more recently. I've worked at a doggy daycare and grooming facility. I love it, I have 2 dogs of my own. I'm working full time so I could only check in on them in the morning before work, right after work, and then one more time before bed. But I assure you I will make sure they are cared for. I will follow any of your instructions to the best of my ability. I will keep in contact with you and update you on your baby as needed.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I feel that my compassion and empathy for animals goes beyond what most people are capable of. I have trained all of my own dogs and have an ample amount of experience. I’m working part time but my schedule varies. So, I am likely available. I am available most times of the day including early mornings and nights. Your animal will be treated with the utmost compassion and love. I will treat your animal as I treat my own. I truly only wish for your animal to feel safe and loved! My fur baby is my best friend and understand what pets mean to most people.
