About: I’ve recently been taking care of a family friends pets. I’ve fallen in love with taking them on walks and doing tricks with them. I’ve been learning a lot about myself through taking care of them, they’ve taught me a lot about patience. I’ve had the pleasure of being able to spend quality time with Tank and Vader! (pictured below) Every morning I take them for a walk at Fork Branch Nature Reserve after I feed them. I get so much joy seeing them excited to explore out in nature. They are learning to trust me and it’s been a rewarding experience. My first clients ever were Tank and Vaders parents. They were out of town for about a month so they gave me keys. I’d let myself in around 8am. Feed them and take them on our morning walk. From there I’d get them around 2pm to potty. Feed them again at 5:30pm and we’d do one last walk later in the night. I’m pretty flexible. Just let me know the schedule you want to keep and I’ll make it happen.
About: I have been caring for my own pets for 8 years as well as people in my neighborhoods pets for about 5 years. I absolutely love animals and treat them as if they were my own. I am currently in school and work part time on campus in the evenings but I can still make time to look after your lovely pets! I have hours to spare between classes and would definitely do my utmost to ensure we both can reach to an agreement on time! There is not much fencing in my apartment complex, however there is a decent amount of space and grass to move around if your pet loves to walk! There is also a lake that we could stroll around for a some fresh air and a view.

“We have a Tortoise, 2 gerbils, and a cat that Olga has pet-sitted wonderfully. We went away for a week, she stayed in our home and kept everything in fantastic condition upon our arrival. Sometimes it’s hard to find a pet sitter who is comfortable with reptiles and cage critters as well as Dogs and Cats, I’m so glad we found her, we have also had a 67 lb boxer move in with us and we are re-hiring her because of her comfort level with all the different animals.”

rachael b.
“As a devoted pet owner, I have always been hesitant to leave my babies in the care of someone else. However, my worries were completely alleviated when I entrusted them to Rachael. Her passion and genuine love for animals was immediately evident to me. She took the time to understand my pets unique personalities, preferences, and needs, ensuring a tailored and comfortable experience. Throughout the entire sitting period, Rachael demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, reliability, and dedication. One of the things that impressed me the most was Rachael’s attention to detail. She meticulously followed the instructions I provided, from feeding schedules to playtime routines, guaranteeing that my pets daily routine remained intact. It was heartwarming to receive regular updates and pictures during my time away, which put my mind at ease. Beyond the basic care, Rachael went above and beyond to provide additional enriching activities. She engaged in interactive play sessions, ensured clean litter boxes and even administered medication when needed. Her commitment to creating a stimulating and safe environment truly made a difference in my pets well-being. I highly recommend Rachael’s services.”

Amanda H.
“I cannot say enough good things about Amanda! I first met her when I started taking my dogs to Middletown Vet for swimming, and she was amazing with them. I have one rescue who was an abused dog and is now "stranger danger", and Amanda had the patience and took the time over the sessions to gain her trust and now Tilly treats her like how she does with my family members. I have 4 large dogs, which sometimes makes it hard to find people to help when I need it, especially with Ms Stranger Danger. After seeing how great and loving she was towards them during their pool sessions, I asked her if she would be willing/available to help out at the house when I needed. She did not hesitate to say yes, and it has been such a relief knowing that I have someone I can trust and will treat the dogs like her own. She is always sure to give lots of updates and pictures when she is there so I get to see how happy they are. Most recently, she stepped in to help after my oldest had to have his hind limb amputated. I live by myself, so trying to figure out how I was going to balance handling post-op care while giving attention and exercise to the younger 3 was a huge concern and stress for me. Amanda was a godsend...she was able to 1. exercise the other 3 (whether taking them on walks or throwing endless amounts of tennis balls in the backyard for fetch and showering them with kisses and treats), 2. sit with my oldest at times while he was recovering and loving on him so that I could get the opportunity to spend time with the other dogs. And having worked at the vet in the aquatics center, she has the knowledge from a rehab perspective and was even able to handle the oldest to help him get up to go outside to go to the bathroom. She stepped up and was willing to help in whatever way possible. From one animal lover to another, you will not be disappointed in level of service Amanda provides and your animals will be so loved while she is taking care of them”
