Staci thank you so much for the last minute schedule to come by to care for Teddy and his cats! ? I highly recommend Staci to anyone who is very overprotective of their animals and wants the RIGHT love and care. I didn’t have to worry about anything and truly enjoyed my time away. Very communicative and loving. My animals love Staci. I will be using you again. Thanks again you rock.

Barbara is a kind and thoughtful caregiver. I would trust her with any pet. People can feel comfortable that she will do all she can to make their animals feel cared for while she is with them

About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was in high school. And for the past ten years since. I have experience with puppies and kittens, older cats and dogs and am open and happy to spend time with your furry family member :) I work from home and spend most of my day with my 4 year old corgi. I can easily come for a walk, check in, or have your animal join me for the day! I have a fenced in backyard and work from home. I live next to a lively walking trail and have a safe space for your animal.

Went above and beyond for our 2 dogs. Tailored visit activities to what the dogs energy levels were. Made sure they were well stocked with food, fresh water, treats, and entertainment throughout the day.

About: I’ve had a Cavalier King Charles for my whole life, the first one for 13 years and now my own for a year. He is my world and he gets along great with all dogs no matter size or age. I care for other dogs as if they’re my own and will always keep owners updated with pictures and/or text messages!! I have experience with giving meds, making food, feeding schedules, walking, potty breaks, etc. Let me watch your furry ones!! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday from 7am-2pm and sometimes earlier, so weekends work better for boarding, however i’m willing to make it work. I can always pop in to walk your pup or take them out, or have them in my house! Up to you. I let my dog roam throughout the day and he does great. I always turn on a show for him:)) I have a fenced in backyard and take my dog for a walk everyday. I love taking him to the dog park as well and he would love to have a friend in the home, or I can come to yours and take care of them there!

About: I have ample experience pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and community members since I was in my early teens. I adore all animals, so I have no problems administering medication (I don’t have a weak stomach), cleaning litterboxes or crates, and will love and respect them like they are my own babies! Your peace of mind and their comfort are my top priorities. I am currently getting my Master’s degree in Social Work, so I’m looking for a nice side hustle I can devote time too while I’m not doing my fieldwork. Wednesdays and Fridays are the best days for me in terms of all-day availability, but I can certainly be flexible if needed! Though I will not be caring for pets in my own home (leasing rules), I am more than willing to respect and uphold your own personal routines for your pets. I do not have a problem crating or following whatever routines are necessary to keep them safe and happy!

About: I have always had pets growing up, specifically dogs and cats. I currently have 2 dogs at home, which live at my moms house when I am on the road. My Nan also has 8 cats, who live right down the street from me and I see nearly everyday when I am in town. I love being able to spend time with animals when I am traveling because it gives me a comfort of being at home, and allows me to still see pets even though I am far away from mine. I always jump at the chance to pet-sit for friends and family members when I have the chance, no matter where they are in the world :) I travel full time and work remotely, giving me ample time to spend with your pets! Working from home, or in this case, your home, gives me the freedom to make my own schedule and care for your pets as they need :) As I travel for a living, I offer in home sitting within the clients home. As long as I am in the area, I am more than happy to care for your pets within their preferences at home.

McKayla was OUTSTANDING!! I had a last minute cancellation with a sitter, and she was able to make it work for us. I got lots of pictures and my girls looked so happy. Even my dog Keera, who doesn’t do well with strangers, loved her. I hope I get to work with her again.

My Simba is picky about his friends. Sharen is now considered one of them. THAT is saying something! I could not be happier with how she took care of my fur baby while I was out of town. I'd absolutely reccomend her and she'll be my first call next time I leave town.

About: It's great to have a dog around!! From my first dog Cookie to boarding my Uncle's dog Fearless..well you just fall in love. Dogs force me to be the outdoor person I was meant to be..how can I say no to a walk?? I am super disciplined about feeding, watering, and any special needs. Can't wait to meet your furry friend... I am around most days and can be flexible depending on owners needs. I don''t require a lot of notice for walks, sitting, and or boarding. My home is dog ready..I have a fenced yard and a dog park close to me. Flexible accomodations..can have dogs run free in home..can crate if necessary. Fenced yard complete with turf grass. I live on a dead end street in a semi private neighborhood.

Kristin always takes such good care of my little dude. She’s always on time and when I get back he’s doing great and everything is exactly like I left it. This time my cat threw up a bit and Kristin cleaned it up. She even washes his plates from the previous day. Absolutely wonderful with pets, and I’m always at ease when I know she’s checking in. Thank you!!
