Pet Sitting in Creston

“Ashley is an excellent pet sitter! She sent multiple pictures every day of our cats and kept us up to date on everything. Highly recommended!”

“I would recommend Corey for anybody that’s going on a short or long trip that just needs somebody to take a little extra care of your pets”

“She’s great with our puppies! Your in trusted hands!”

“Megan is a pleasure to work with! We know our 2 cats are in good hands for a weekend trip or a week long get-away. Very good communication and we can tell our cats enjoy interacting with her. ❤️”

“Maia did an amazing job of caring for our cats while we were gone! This was the second time she has been here and we couldn't be any happier. She sends us pictures and updates, she plays with our needy kitten, and she even noticed our flowers were dying in the heat and watered! We are so thankful to have such a kind, dependable, wonderful person to take care of things while we are gone! Maia is absolutely the best you could find - no reason to try anyone else!!”

“I have known Laura for over 25 years. She has always been a kind, responsible and attentive pet owner. Her love of animals is evident in the way she has cared for her own pets and others. She has done pet-sitting in her home and volunteered at a shelter as well. Our dog had some health issues and she handled his needs when we entrusted him with her for a week to travel out of the country. He came home happy and tired out from the exercise and good care she provided for him and the companionship from her dogs.”

“Sam was great! We received a note and pictures each drop in. It was nice knowing that our cat was in good hands while we were away and that he was getting quality time each visit. We would definitely rebook for next time. Thanks so much!”

About: I became a full-time professional pet- and house-sitter in July 2021. Since the majority of my time is spent sitting in the homes of others, I gave up my own residence a couple of years ago and became a nomad of sorts. I split my time sitting mostly between Wayne County, OH, and Pittsburgh, PA, but I also regularly get referrals in Philadelphia, Maryland, and North Carolina. The great thing about this for pet parents is that I'm never worried about stopping back to my home to check on anything, collect mail, deal with maintenance of any kind, etc - your home will actually 100% be my home for the duration of my stay! Prior to beginning pet care professionally, I had both cats and dogs growing up. I also pet-sit for friends regularly. I quickly make friends with most animals and I am especially known for winning over choosy pets who don't like strangers. Many of my clients actually schedule their time away from home around my availability because of how bonded their pets become to me! I will do everything I can to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfortable on a little staycation of its own while you're away, so you can travel worry-free. A few notes about my rates: -The prices quoted here reflect standard care, e.g., staying overnight, offering 2-3 feedings, doing a morning/midday/night walk or potty break, scooping litter once per day, regular snuggles and some playtime. Before I confirm these rates for bookings, though, I will need to learn more about the needs of your pet(s). E.g., Are they on medications; if so, how are they administered and how often? How many potty breaks or walks will they need per day? How long can they be left alone? Do they sleep through the night? Is it common for them to have accidents in the home that need cleaned up? Is any grooming care needed? -In addition to the above, I will also aim to have a clear sense of what level of home care is desired. E.g., Collecting mail and keeping an eye for packages? Washing used linens? Sanitizing kitchen and bathroom before departure? Vacuuming, sweeping, or mopping? Trash or recycling days? Plant care? Any outdoor tasks (e.g., water plants or grass, snow removal)? -I welcome sitting opportunities of any length. If you're scheduling a trip of 10+ days, we can discuss a discounted daily rate. Pet care is my primary work, so it's the crux of my routine! I also do some freelance work remotely so pet care always fits well into my schedule any day of the week. It's easy and enjoyable for me to take breaks to ensure that furry friends receive regular walks and/or snuggles, plus they can hang with me if I'm working. For dogs who like going on adventures, I am always happy to take them on longer walk/hikes, as I'm an active and outdoorsy person. But I'm also quite a homebody in general, so I will definitely be a couch potato with pets that don't go out exploring too. I will do my best to keep their eating and bathroom break schedule on their normal routine while you are away. I will gladly snuggle them at night in bed if your pets are permitted on the furniture and can ensure observing any rules of the house in relation to where the pet can/can't access. I'm a tidy person who is known by my clients for high-quality care of both the pets and the home. In my college days, I worked as a hotel housekeeper and it taught me to be a neat freak. In general you can expect to find your place the way you left it if I sit for you! I send at least one check-in per day that includes photos to make sure you get a daily dose of cuteness and know that all is well! I can arrange for this check-in to occur at whatever time works best for you. I'm typically a speedy responder to other messages, too, though I do silence my phone while I sleep and occasionally during brief parts of the day, e.g., for meditation, yoga, or virtual meetings. Some clients are comfortable with their sitters having visitors, but I never expect nor assume that's the case and would certainly not bring anyone into your home without discussing the possibility in advance. It's completely fine if clients have a no-guest policy. Even when permitted, guests are uncommon for me, but may include my teen mentee of 5 years from Big Brothers Big Sisters or an occasional gal pal for a movie night. Some clients welcome sitters to eat perishables that will spoil while they're away, others encourage sitters to help themselves to any food in the house. I will never assume either, however, and there's no pressure. Unless I'm explicitly told otherwise, rest assured that the only consumable goods I may use are essentials like cooking oils, spices, and occasionally milk/creamer for my tea.

“Leah went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy and cared for! Definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future!”

“This was Bentleys first time with Connie and it seemed to go fine. I needed a back up sitter and Connie is a great fit! I will be using her again in the very near future”

“Thank you so much! We were in a location without cell service and we’re able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about our girl knowing she was in great hands with Missy!”

“Thank you so much! Sorry she was so anxious! She is always that way until she gets comfortable with people. She will get better for you! Totally fine to keep it on her! Bella is going through her terrible 2’s!!😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫”

“My cat loved Brittany even though she can be a scaredy cat and doesn’t come out of her bed sometimes when she sees new people. I loved that she sent me many pictures. I would absolutely repeat!”

“Our longtime pet sitter was no longer available, and this was our first experience with Rover. So, we had some mild concerns. They were completely satisfied by Rover's services, and we can't say enough positive things about Julia, from her reliability to her attention to detail, and mostly, her love & care for our cats, Smudge and Milo. This was very evident by the numerous pictures and videos she sent us.”

“Madisyn is great. She’s kind, thorough, and caring. This was our first time with her, but definitely will use her services again and again.”

“Bobbie was very good. She spent some time playing with our fur babies and did everything we asked her to do. She was very attentive to our older dog especially”

“Nicole did a great job with my cat. She is super nice, she kept me updated every day, and my cat liked her right away. I am really glad I decided to use this service.”

“EXCELLENT JOB!! I can't say enough good things about Sandi. She did an amazing job taking care of my cats while I was on vacation. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pets.”

“From the moment I've known Sarah, it's been clear how much of an animal lover she is. She treats every animal like they are family. I've seen her take care of her lifelong dog, adopt a senior dog and make the last three years of his life the best possible and rescue a new pup from the shelter. I would 100% trust her with my animals.”

“I can’t recommend Deb enough. She takes exceptionally good care of her dogs and mine when she has watched them. She's very thorough with her care and detail oriented when it comes to needs. There are few people I'd trust more to watch my dogs, definitely highly recommended.”
