Pet Sitting Durant Manor

About: My passion for animal care started early, and I’ve been dedicated to looking after cats, dogs, and neighbors' or friends' pets since I was 16. Over the years, I've built a wealth of hands-on experience across all life stages—from bouncy puppies to wise seniors, including specialized care for rescue and deaf dogs. Whether it's feeding, playtime, daily walks, or giving dogs a thorough bath, I pride myself on tuning into every pet's unique communication style and treating them with patience, love, and attentive care. My love for animals isn’t just a pastime—it’s a lifelong passion that shapes how I connect with every pet I meet.I'm a full-time dog walker and cat whisperer! Your pet’s safety, security, and well-being are my absolute top priorities. Whether we're out on a neighborhood walk or hiking at a park, I maintain a watchful, proactive approach to keep pets secure and out of harm's way. I’m deeply attentive to each animal’s unique boundaries, physical needs, and comfort levels—from handling every age group with care to accommodating specific communication styles like those of rescue or deaf dogs. You can count on me to provide a calm, secure, and genuinely loving environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩”

About: Hi Friends! Auntie Lisa here, I have been taking care of animals for 16+ years. I run a local 501(c)3 Non Profit and I am an avid animal lover and advocate. I will always put your pets needs first and make sure that they are healthy and happy until you return. I have excellent client and rescue references if you'd like to speak with anyone I've helped in the past! I am very flexible and can accommodate most schedules with ease. I have a dog walking group from 11a.m -1p.m. Monday-Friday. The rest of the time I'm available. I have a house with a yard . The doggies have their own room with a couch and a loveseat and lots of doggy beds and soft blankets. I often fall asleep right in the middle of them :) . They have plenty of toys and love when they stay at Aunt Lisa's!

“Vanessa was such a great fit for our kitties while we were away for a trip! Even our shyest boy warmed up to her immediately - which never happens! Vanessa sent us thorough reports and photos at each check in and presented herself in a warm and professional manner throughout. We would absolutely recommend her to others and hope to have her back again soon.”

“Alisha was great. Looked after our ShihTzu for a few days (fairly last minute on a holiday weekend) which was much appreciated! She sent updates with the cutest pictures and made sure Hannah had everything she needed plus some. Came home to a happy pup. I will definitely use Alisha’s services again if she is still available in the future. Thanks again Alisha!”

About: I took care of my aunt’s dog named Batman for 8 years until my aunt moved away. Ever since I have always enjoyed taking care of animals like dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and chickens! I currently work Sun-Thurs from 1pm to 9:30pm. I don’t have anything that needs my attention before I need to get to work! I am fully free Friday and Saturdays! I have a fenced yard and a dog park down the block. I have an old crate that can be used if needed and no other dogs or cats in the home.

“Natalia took great care of our cats. Even our more cautious and anxious cat, who normally hides from new people, warmed up to her in just a few days. We'd definitely book her again.”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience, I bring a calm, confident energy that pets (and their humans!) trust. I’m currently caring for my own sweet 15-year-old senior pup, so I’m especially tuned in to the needs of older pets—whether it’s medication, slow strolls, or just a little extra TLC. I’ve seen it all, from wiggly puppies to wise old souls, and I treat every pet like they’re family. My goal? To make tails wag and hearts feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available during the day for walks, check-ins, or cuddle breaks. Whether it’s a midday stroll or a bit of playtime to break up the day, I love incorporating pet care into my everyday rhythm. It keeps me moving, smiling, and surrounded by furry joy—what could be better? In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I have a sweet senior dog who’s very friendly and laid-back, so visiting pets get a calm, welcoming vibe. I’ve got a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet feel most comfortable—whether that means crate time, couch time, or anything in between. In clients' homes, I aim to keep their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs!

“Intuitive, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well

About: My husband & I have been dog parents for nearly 20 years, caring for our 1st furbaby Gelato for almost 14 years (he passed 3 years ago :( ) and currently caring for his sister from another mister Nutella for the past 5 :). We know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else because they’re truly part of the family. We provide a calm, loving home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and special instructions. We can only care for a small number of dogs at a time so every pup gets plenty of individual attention. We do have a dog at home so we will only be accepting dog-friendly dogs. My husband & I will be watching your pup! I work twice a week in the office but my husband will be home full time. We are available during the weekend full time based on our availability. We have a fence front and back yard. As long as your dog isn’t prone to jumping fences we can leave them in the front yard for some outside play time. If not, we have a backyard with a doggy door where they can go in and out all day. Backyard is fully secured.

“Alyssa was great with our pups and put my mind at ease while we were away! Thank you!!”
