Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.

About: Hi guys! Owner of "I Hope My Cat Doesn't Get Jealous " LLC I have own several pets; throughout the years. One of the best feelings as a pet owner/sitter is knowing you are making a difference in that pet's day. Just to see them all happy,relaxed or just fed; gives me a humble satisfaction. I will be there every step of the way for your pets' needs; making sure your pet likes me and is comfortable with me.But don't take my word for it, you will see it through your pets behavior towards me. I have 4 cats that are dog friendly. They really love playing with small dogs. Finally, hope you and your pet(s) have a very bless day. I'm a full time pet sitter, I do walks during the day and house sitting or boarding afterwards. I try my best to fit your fur baby into my schedule. Meet & greets are mandatory for me. That way you can see and decide more throughly if I'm the right pet sitter for you and if your fur baby is comfortable with me.

Guadalupe took care of my cats at home. She did such a good job that one of my cat gained weight when I came back! My senior cats have special needs such as medications, insulin injections. She took care of them all. Thank you so much!

Taryn was excellent at providing pictures and updates at every visit. She was wonderful when we talked with her and when she was alone with our animal. Very friendly and knowledgeable on animals, and was a quick learner when it came to our animals care. Couldn't ask for a better animal sitter!

About: I’ve had pets since I was 8. I’ve had dogs, a cat, hamsters, fish, a bunny, and chickens. They were all very unique and had different needs and levels of interaction needed to keep them happy, and I was and am still very happy to do so! I would like to extend my care to a wider variety of clients, so I have set my radius to a larger range, but bookings further away from my location will require an added on trip charge to cover the extra distance. I do work another job outside of pet sitting, but it is part time, so I still have availability to fit in caring for your fur babies. I will try to stick to their normal routine as close as possible with my schedule! I love seeing the different personalities in each animal I encounter, and learning their quirks and interests. I always pay attention to body language, and realize that animals also have their boundaries.

Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.

About: I have experience with large breeds like German shepherds and Rottweilers as well as small breeds like Yorkies and Boston terriers. I also have experience with cats. I also have experience with cats. I currently am free until the start of my new job. So I am free and flexible for pet sitting and check in's as needed Almost all of my experience with pet care is from pet and house sitting, so I am more than comfortable getting formular with a pet and it’s routine in their own home.

About: I’ve had the privilege of growing up with two dogs back to back and I’ve taken lead in training and taking care of both of them. My current second dog, Jake, is a very rambunctious type who I can’t get enough love out of people, but is also very well behaved after about 30 min of meeting someone. Jake dealt with Parvovirus when he was a puppy and was inches away from leaving us, but thankfully with the right care we got him he was able to survive and just turned 9 this past August. I am available to work full time however will be working as a door dasher as well. So when I’m house sitting or coming for visits staying for a prolonged amount of time isn’t ideal but I will accept an increased price if necessary. Every morning I take my dog out for a walk followed by a bowl of food. I’m very familiar with wet and dry food, as well as medication taken via orally. My pup is also an aged fella, so any experience with older dogs having trouble getting up and down the stairs I can handle as well.

Coretta dropped in on my fur babies while I was out of town. I got photos and a summary after each visit and Coretta noted a couple of behaviors out of my cats that she thought I would want to know, which I greatly appreciated. She did a great job, as usual!

Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.

About: For as long as I can remember I have taken care of, rescued, and cared for animals. Through out my life I have over all had 18 animals in my house hold (at one point in time 8 cats all under the same roof) and I have often helped taken care of animals of family and friends. I have checked in on dogs for noon outside time and potty breaks as well as stayed at a home for as long as a month to take care of a cat. I have experience with pets in all stages of life and in handling animals with different temperaments. I have also given animals medications (from diabetic shots to thyroid pills to special prescription food) and I am very active in taking care of them. Currently I have one dog and three cats that I share with my partner, all of whom I have taken care of from early on in their lives. I am currently in between jobs so most days and times I am available. I do share a car but we always work together to figure out who can use the car when. Just let me know what you need and when and I will work with you to figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I am very respectful of other's homes, making sure things are clean and nothing is messed up. Whether your fur baby tore up a rug or I accidentally broke something, there will be full transparency on what happened while you're away. I can send daily text check ins and don't mind being called daily to ensure everything is alright, your animals are family and I will treat them as such. Any house rules or animal schedules you have set I will abide by. I will give your animal full attention and do what I can to give them what they need.

This was the 2nd time Riley came over to visit my cat. As with the first time, she did an excellent job and she followed a few specific instructions to the "T." As usual, she gave me updates and sent photos every day. It is easy to see that my cat is very comfortable with her!

Maddie takes very good care of our cat Pixel. He doesn't usually like people but he even comes and sits on her lap during check ins. I'm glad we found Maddie and Rover.
