Amanda was fantastic! She did so well with our older shy kitty Shelby, that Shelby was coming out to visit when Amanda was at the house. Rosabelle, our younger kitty, really took to Amanda too. It really made my time away from home less stressful knowing that the kitties were doing so well with Amanda! I will definitely be using her services again. 😻

She was very communicative and gave Clio lots of attention and care. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Clio was happy and relaxed when I got back. I would definitely have her watch Clio again.

Kristina is an excellent pet sitter!! If we need services for our cat (Oliver) again, she will be our first contact! She went above and beyond to help us and care for Oliver by being flexible and accommodating as needed. Kristina is easy to work with, responsible and communicates well. Thank you Kristina!! Oliver looked great and was so happy when we returned from our trip! He misses you already!

Karen was absolutely amazing! Our kitty isn't a fan of people but Karen was patient and kind. By the last day, Fern even let Karen pet her. Karen also went above and beyond and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely have her back.

We were glad to have Laura care for our cats while we were away. It was a relief to know they had someone to look in on them, care for them, and give them some love while we had to be away. We appreciated the photos and updates very much!

About: Hello, Me and my husband love animals and are looking to give them all the love while you are away. I have been watching pets on and off for over 15 years and my husband has helped ever since we’ve been together. We would love to add your family of pets to the list. Please contact me if you are leaving town and need a reliable sitter for your pet(s) or need someone to check on them throughout the day at your home. They will be given the proper care that you would provide them yourself! I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have always grown up around dogs and would not of had it any other way. I have helped several strays find their forever homes in the past. It warms my heart to help a pet in need. My husband and I will be sharing the responsibility for caring for you pet(s) from time to time. We will make sure your dog gets all the attention they could want when we stop in to care for them or care for them in our home. Will do walks and outside time as much as you would like! My work is different depending on the day and the week. I am happy to speak with you and see if I can make my schedule accommodate your needs. I treat dogs that I watch just as I would my own dog. I love all animals and I will give your pet the love they crave while you are gone.

Amy was absolutely incredible with Thor, Arya, and Binx while I was away. She was so sweet, responsive, attentive, and truly loved my babies like they were her own. She even took Thor to the emergency vet for me when something unexpected came up, and I genuinely cannot express how grateful I am for the care and kindness she showed throughout everything. Coming home to happy, loved, well cared for pets meant the world to me. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone without hesitation.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for over 20 years. They always become part of my family while they are with me. Whether it is my own dog or ones I am caring for, walks, dog park, brushing and playing are part of the daily routine. From little ones like Chihuahuas to large breeds like German Shepherds, I love them all! My pet sitting experience includes caring for elderly pets and those that need medication or special diets. My availability is open and includes weekends and holidays. Currently I am EMT certified and am pending pet First Aid & CPR training. When your pet is in my care you will have one less thing to worry about because they will be in good hands!

Was an awesome sitter! Kept me constantly up to date especially since one of my dogs gets really bad anxiety when we leave. He took great care of them and they didn't seem as anxious as they usually are.

About: I have had pets my whole life! I have experience with cats, dogs, horses, chickens, fish, frogs, turtles, and small furry critters such as hamsters and rabbits. I Have cared for new born puppies and kittens when the mother was not able and elderly pets that need a little extra love. Pets that are very energetic or relaxed. Pets that are having a hard time medically and need fluids or pain medications. I have cared for wounded animals and healthy ones. I'm available most days during work hours. When your fur baby needs love and care during the day while you are away I can be there for pets, walks, snacks, medications, a simple check in and more. Every animal is it's own self and all need different care. When pet sitting while friends or family are at work or on trips I always make sure the pet has a good long session of play, affection, walk or forms of exercise, clean and full water and food dishes. Check for any accidents that need cleaned up or litter boxes that need tending. Then always be sure to double check the yard and home locks are secure before leaving.

About: HUGE dog lover, who has taken care of my own dogs, friend's dogs, and rescue group dogs for over 15 years. My very first dog soulmate, was Chesie. I had her since she was three months, until, very recently, she passed just after her 15th birthday. I also worked at a no-kill shelter and have worked with various rescue organizations. I have been developing a doggy daycare and boarding center in my community. It is close to becoming a reality! I currently work just three days a week. I am off every other weekend. I have way too much time on my hands and would love to fill it with dog slobbers! With lots of LOVE! I have a fully fenced yard and your baby will be cared for in my home with potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I will do crate training as needed, but they would primarily be free roaming.

There's a reason I've trusted Karah time and again with my shy kitty: she's dependable, sends updates and pictures, and is really skilled at matching her care to the needs of my kitty so much so that my shy cat is now very comfortable with her and always in good spirits when I return!
