Cat Sitting in Davis Shop

“Shaylee went above and beyond in caring for my pets while I was away for work. She made sure they stayed clean and dry while we had several days in a row of rain. She provided great feedback every day, ensuring I knew my fur friends were in good hands. She even took extra time to check in on my chickens and make sure they had shelter from the weather. I am so thankful to have such a great person available to look after my animals!”

“Megan did a fantastic job. She was very responsive and took great care of our cat. We will definitely ask her to help us again when we’re out of town!”

It is just my partner, friendly (senior) border aussie, and I in a spacious, clean, quiet, and safe condo in which your pet will have access to their own spare bedroom! When boarding at our home, your pet is treated as our own. I follow all schedules, instructions, and make sure your pet is fully integrated into our lives in a way that is tailored to their comfort level. While we don’t have a fenced yard, we have a SniffSpot subscription with access to acres of fenced private properties to provide your dog(s) with stimulation! We also have incredible walking areas behind our condo with more than enough hills to exhaust your high-energy pet (and myself)! For frequent potty breaks and walks, we have a readily-accessible tree-lined outside pet area and trail spanning the entirety of our condominium complex outside our front door. Our lovely neighbors whom we have known for years are very respectful. Any dogs in our community must be leashed, and everyone has excellent dog etiquette. We have plenty of space outside to spread out on walks if needed. When I care for your pet in your home, not only will your pet be taken care of—your home will be left as I found it! While I am highly adaptable and love to have fun with your pet, I am also extremely conscientious. Clients must be okay with my pet-loving wife occasionally accompanying me on visits for pets with high needs, including bathing and medication needs for larger dogs. (References available)

“You’re amazing! I’m a little jealous thought... I think they like you better! ? Thank you for taking such great care of them and going out of your way to keep them clean and safe. I was totally at piece once I saw the first pics.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and love to bond with them. Family and friends have let me pet sit for years and who doesn’t love hanging out with a cute dog. I am currently a part time student and in my off I go on walks and play with my own dog at home. I also go to dog parks to play with my two dogs. I will keep eyes on your pets and play with them and get their energy out. I will also make sure your pet has a new best friend.

“Margaret was communicative, kind, and wonderful to my cat! Would not hesitate to book with her again.”

“Marcia was very communicative and did a great job caring for my cat while I was away!”

Brenna M.

“Danielle was fantastic with my shy older kitty! This was the first time I'd left her at home for more than one night, and I was nervous about how she'd react. Even though she usually hides from strangers, my cat was coming out and greeting Danielle at every visit, and she was perfectly happy when I got home. I would absolutely book with Danielle again!”

Katie G.

“Lindsay is honest, communicative, reliable, and so wonderful with our two high energy dogs. Each weekend, she confirms with us which days she is able to let our dogs out, and has been so flexible with our chaotic schedule. Clearly Lindsay is great with dogs— even our shy pup quickly warmed up to her as we saw in her check-in photos. We are very grateful to have her as our walker and cannot recommend her enough!”

“Madelyn was amazing with Baxter and Bentley when we had to be out of town for a few days. She stayed in touch with me and sent me great photos after each drop-in visit. She even came over to meet them and me before we left town. I was super impressed and so thankful for how happy our dogs were while we were gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have loved dogs since I was a kid! I recently have been working as a nanny and that has involved light care for pets as well, my current duties are walking the two dogs and feeding them treats and filling water bowls. I am very loving and caring. My previous job involved feeding and letting the pup out in the back yard to play and to help keep track of certain habits due to the dog having food allergies. I am so fond of animals as a whole that my future goal is to buy a house with lots of land and do free lance dog boarding! I would love to help your family with your pet’s needs! Hope to work with you soon!

About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.

About: I have had pets since I was a child. I have always owned a dog. Neighbors, friends and family have called on me frequently to care for their pet. I take Flash with me every where I can and when I can’t I want him well taken care of. I love to help people enjoy their time away by giving their pet the best care possible. I work part time. I get up early and never mind doing early morning or evening pet care. On my days off I can walk during the day. I would be willing to walk your pet, feed and allow time outside for play. Can stay at home for several hours if needed on occasions.

“Chelsea is great! She checks in before her scheduled time to figure out details. She sends pictures and updates, which puts my mind at ease. She even checked in on the day I was returning to offer and extra drop-in in case I was getting in late. I really appreciate her kindness!”

Kirsten F.

“I would trust no one else but Jenna! She always does an amazing job. My animals feel safe with her and she is tremendous at providing what they need! She gives medicine to my fussy cat no issue! Always 5/5 stars! Thank you Jenna!”
