My kitty loves Carlie L! Both times I’ve had Carlie check on her, I’ve come home to my cat in such a good mood. She clearly loves her. Carlie is really patient with animals and takes direction super well!

About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.

Shay treated my cats like her own and kept them company over the holidays while I was away. She was very communicative and alert to any issues. She also cleaned up their messes and went beyond what I asked to ensure I came back to a happy home and kitties. Highly recommend choosing her for your pet sitting needs!

About: I have experience with house sitting for dogs, cared for puppies since a young age, and assisted with basic training. I am patient, attentive and focused on safe, enjoyable walks. I am currently an architecture student, with a consistent week schedule. Which allows me to offer reliable dog walking times. I’m available for walks Tuesday and Thursday mornings, as well as weekday evenings after 5 pm. I also have availability throughout the day on Tuesday and Thursday before 1pm and after my class (3:30pm onward) I currently work as a server in Roger’s on Saturday evenings, but would like to move my focus to dog walking and pet care during the week days. I’m more then happy to work with you and your dogs routine while providing dependable, consistent care. I live in a safe and pet friendly townhome with plenty of grassy space behind my home and several parks nearby for walks and exercise. While I don’t currently have pets of my own due to being a full time student, I have cared for friends and family members pets in my home many times, including longer stays. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable, loved, and enjoy regular walks and outdoor time.

Thank you, Anna for taking care of our Goldens! It was so nice coming home from our trip to happy dogs and clean floors. Our boys get nervous when they are left too long and they were not stressed at all when we returned. Thank you again!
