Tyler took such great care of our two cats over the holiday weekend, including their strict and time-consuming feeding schedule. He is definitely the type of person that animals adore! Our oldest cat tends to be very shy and always hides from new people, but he warmed up to Tyler immediately- no hiding at all! Tyler consistently had a quick response time and sent plenty of pictures throughout our entire trip. This gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so relieved to have found great pet care! Tyler is the best!

Suzanne was very responsive. I loved the daily pictures! She took good care of my babies. I appreciated that she took initiative on things like vacuuming and taking out the garbage without me having to ask. I felt my home was well taken care of. She was also very flexible when I had to extend my trip plans. Overall I would recommend her for cat sitting!!

Jasmine is wonderful and highly recommended. My puppy Teddy has adopted her as one of his people. My shy guy doesn't quickly adapt to many humans but he looks forward to Jasmine's visits each week. 5 Stars for sure!

Brian was great with my 2 cats. At our meet and great, I could tell he was a good fit. He immediately sensed the differences in their personalities, made note of what type of play each prefers and asked all the right questions. While I was gone, he sent cute pictures and kept me updated. Thank you, Brian!

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!

Thank you MaeLee! Everything went so smoothly with this cat/housesitting experience. From making an initial introduction and interviewing and working out dates and coordinating key pick up to when I returned from my trip. While I was gone, I could relax and focus on my business far away from home because I knew MaeLee was taking really good care of my Lilly. The house was in great shape too, and I just felt like everything was well cared for while I was gone. Such a load off my mind! I would definitely hire her again.

About: I have a lifetime of animal care experience and have been running my little business, Pet Care Partners, LLC, since 2019 and have offered a variety of services. I currently offer dog walking, dog training, day time drop ins for dogs, cats and critters and dog boarding in my home. I live with my husband and our children ages 14 and 11 who help me care for the doggos who stay with us. I'm passionate about providing excellent care for your pet and frequent communication with you. I require an in person Meet and Greet before committing to caring for a new pet to make sure this is a great fit for all involved. Please inquire at least 3 days before you need care so we have plenty of time to meet beforehand. Contact me for additional references and reviews! I work part time hours and typically have availability 7 days a week. For drops in your home, I am available between the hours of 9:00am and 7:00pm so my services are the best fit for cats, critters and doggos are who are just alone for the day. I always require a meet and greet for new clients, so please inquire at least 3 days in advance if you are new to Pet Care Partners! Walking: I get to know each dog as an individual so I can tailor my care to meet their specific needs. For example, if your dog has food allergies, I make sure I'm only using appropriate treats with him. If your dog is leash reactive around other dogs, I'm careful to keep plenty of distance between us and other dogs on the sidewalk so that we can have a comfortable, pleasant walk. Boarding: I have a fenced in backyard, and protocols around doors to prevent escapes. We prepare our home for the well-being of each individual dog guest. For example if your dog loves to play with plush dog toys I will leave plenty out! If your dog is at risk for swallowing toys and getting hurt I will put them away during his visit.

Melissa was beyond amazing! She truly cares and is able to interact with animals that results in them feeling comfortable. She went above and beyond by adapting toys, taking care of the litter box every time and providing my cat with treats and plenty of play time every visit. It got to the point where my cat was waiting for her to arrive. Melissa is also just a kind and friendly human as well!

I couldn't be happier with the condition I found my pets in after asking Tim to visit them in my house. Tim took good care of my pets, sitting with them and showing them affection after changing their litter and sweeping/taking out the trash each time. Tim is reliable and diligent, I can't recommend him enough.
