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. 😻

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 5 years. This and caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and understand that every dog has different needs. I make it a priority to keep owners updated and reassured! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care that they need! I will be completely transparent with my schedule, while also making sure that your dog is a priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks while also respecting the owner’s instructions and household rules. During walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, staying aware of surroundings, and making sure pets are comfortable and hydrated. I always treat clients’ homes with respect, keep the environment clean, and provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands!

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!

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.

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!
