“Laura took such amazing care of our two kitties while we were in Europe! Laura is very communicative and so good with all of our pets. Thank you so much for the peace of mind while we were traveling! I would highly recommend Laura to others and look forward to working with her more in the future!”
“Victoria was just wonderful. We had never used Rover before and to be honest we hardly traveled because we worried about leaving our cat. Finley is usually very leery of people he doesn't know, but he seemed very comfortable with Victoria from the start. Her messages and photos were very reassuring and he seemed very relaxed and content when we returned home. We were debating another longer trip and now plan to go because we have peace of mind in knowing that we have Victoria to look after Finley.”
“Melissa was amazing! She stopped by for a meet and greet before the booking and was so sweet and kind. She kept in touch with each visit and even sent pictures and videos! It made my dads face light up when he saw them! Thank you so much Melissa! We would love to book you again!”
“Paula is the absolute best!!! We never worry with her taking care of our pets ! They love her as much as we do!”
“Gracie was amazing with our cats and went above and beyond! She even managed to coax our very shy cat into combing, something we struggle with! I felt very reassured by her regular updates and photos. We couldn’t ask for a better experience! We highly recommend her services to other pet owners!”
“Kim was so great! Visits were consistent every day (which I know my cats appreciated), and many of the daily pictures she sent are so good I could frame them! I really enjoyed working with Kim and look forward to calling on her again the next time we’re out of town.”
“Colleen is great! She’s very reliable, kind, and really takes time with your animals to show them some love while you’re gone. We feel very safe leaving our cats in her care!”
“Erika is fabulous! We lave having her check on Lily and Odin. Alway’s a great communicator, and we always feel reassured they are getting the best care!”
“Tom was a superstar with our newly adopted, very shy 6 month old puppy. We only had the pup 2 weeks when Tom agreed to help us with a “let out” for crate training. This was not an easy task as the pup was still adjusting to his new home. Tom had patience and understanding with our pup and we appreciated it more than he knows. Tom was trustworthy and very attentive to the needs of our pup. His communication was stellar as well. We highly recommend Tom!!!!”
About: Growing up, my family always had pets in the house so I've been an animal lover literally since the day I was born! Since I was around 12 years old, I have been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends and family, so I have roughly 15 years of experience caring for other people's furry and scaly family members! I've personally had dogs, cats, and guinea pigs all throughout my life and I've also helped roommates and neighbors care for pets of all kinds. Over the years, I've learned how to feed, administer medications, and recognize behavior patterns for all the animals I've cared for and am always eager to learn more! I currently have a senior, rescue pup named Ravioli and a 7 year old guinea pig named Stitch. My pets are my world, so I understand the need to find quality, reliable care for your babies and would love to provide that peace of mind for you. I'm currently an art teacher at a local public high school and previously worked as a playroom attendant at a doggie daycare for 3 years. Because of this, I have a lot of experience working with dogs of all ages/sizes/breeds/temperaments and have learned a lot about dog behavior, basic first aid, and standard "spa" treatment like bathing, nail, ear, and teeth care. From shy and anxious to bouncing off the walls with excitement, I've worked with and loved them all, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in great hands! I also worked as a summer camp director and instructor for over 5 years, teaching classes that include small animal care, outdoor adventure skills, and swim and water safety among other things. I am first aid certified and LOVE to go on adventures outdoors, especially with a pup or two in tow! I'm more than happy to meet your pet at the activity level that best fits them, whether that means going on long, exciting walks or lounging in the shade! All that to say, I've never met an animal that I didn't love, so I would love to meet you and your pets, no matter their size or species! I am currently a full time art teacher at a local public high school, so I am currently out on summer break and looking for ways to fill my time. Until school starts back, I am available at almost any day at any time to check in on your pets or take them for walks! While I don't offer services in my own home, I would be happy to check in on your pets in your home! I've been a pet sitter/walker since I was 12 years old, so I have a lot of experience working with pets in other people's homes. The safety of your pets and home are of utmost importance to me! I always double and triple check that all crates/cages and doors are locked, and all else restored to its original state prior to leaving. This includes refilling food and water if needed, turning on or off lights to your preference, and cleaning up after pets should any accidents occur. I am also happy to transport pets in my car to go to appointments, daycare, or on fun adventures! I keep my vehicle clean and orderly at all times, so there is limited opportunity for pets to get into something they shouldn't. I also ensure your pets' safety by making sure they are safely secured before starting the vehicle and by driving with caution and control at all times.
