Cat Sitting in Elm

“The cats didn't care too much when I came home, so I can tell she did a good job! Leann was communicative, flexible. But most importantly, I can tell that the cats took a shine to her. I definitely reccomend.”

“Jaden was such a huge help! She was so good with my 2 cats and took wonderful care of them, while also keeping me up to date on how they were doing while I was out of town. One of my cats is very wary of new people, and Jaden was even able to win her over much more than I had expected! She went above and beyond in taking care of my pets. Also with Jaden being a vet tech, I knew that I could have such peace knowing my cats were incredibly safe and happy in her care. Definitely recommend!”

“Lucia was great with our dog! She kept us informed with updates and pictures and gave him the attention he needs. We'll definitely book her again!”

About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.

About: You can relax knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own. My family has years of experience working with several different breeds and temperaments. We love them all and will give them the very best care! I also have years of experience house/pet sitting in others homes as well as dog walking. I am able to work on basic training skills and playing fun interactive games. I currently work full time M-F, but my husband who works from home will be available for boarding 7 days a week. We have had several clients that we enjoyed working with very much. We provide security inside and outside and give each pup lots of love and attention! I have a large fenced in yard your pup will have full access to, they will be let out several times a day and played with. We have 2 friendly pups of our own, Sugar is a 12 yr old Maltipoo and Koko is a 6yr old Klee Kai, both are under 20 lbs. We take the time to meet every client before their first stay to ensure everyone gets along and so you can see where your pup will be staying. I also ask each client to fill out an info sheet with all pertinent information about their pet in case of an emergency and for schedule consistency.

“Incredible job with the big guys. Gave them a ton of love and great attention while we were gone. Kind, professional and awesome communication.”

“I can’t recommend Katie more. She dropped in with our cat Zia for 6 nights while we were on a trip. We finally didn’t have to worry if our pet sitter would show up or not. Katie was prompt each day and gave so much care and attention to our needy cat.”

Alyssa B.

“Jessica is an excellent sitter. We enjoyed having her take care of our little fur baby while we were away for a week. Jessica stayed on top of my care list and sent wonderful River cards. We would recommend Jessica to any of our friends or anyone looking for a kind and responsible sitter. Asobi liked Jessica right away, which was awesome because Asobi’s really shy with new people.”

About: Animals are my passion. I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs/cats of different ages and sizes. Through my years of experience, it’s easier to coax the most timid of animals into being my buddy. I like to learned and study what each animal needs or wants! So they are the most comfortable with me and on walks. I currently work super early in the day. I can check on animals midday through the afternoon and night. I’m free most weekends so any overnight stays would be fine with me. I would traditionally prefer animals to be in their own home. I know it can be stressful enough for an owner to leave their animals so I’d like for them to be the most comfortable in their own home.

“My cats love Kevin and I trust him to take care of them.”

Deborah G.

“Communication was great and photos were sent of my my 2 dogs (golden doodle and a French bulldog), so I could see them while I was away. Booking were fast and very professional. I would recommend Hale to anyone who needs a pet sitter!! Loved using their service!””

Cynthia M.

“Melissa is very punctual. We leave the food in bags on the counter. She takes good care of our cats Frosts and Smokey. She feeds them, gives them fresh water. Frosta seems to greet her. Smokey likes to hide except when he gets fed. The cats seem to like her. She sends pictures of them after each visit. We have used Melissa twice and are looking forward to use her again in the future. I recommend her.”

Lynn B.

“Alexandria was great! Very attentive and communicative. It's always reassuring to have someone do great amazing drop in care for our senior dog who doesn't travel well anymore. Would definitely book again in the future!”

Sean J.

“Kim provided excellent service, was thorough and had great attention to detail. We appreciated her good thorough communication & concern for our kitties and our home. Will definitely request her services again in the future!”

Katie S.

“Tara is absolutely the best. She went above and beyond to care for my pets. I will ask her back again and again. It's easy to see tell she loves pets, both hers and mine. I highly recommend her.”

Laura B.

“Alyssa did a great job sitting for our cat while we were away for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! During the initial consultation, Alyssa took the time to understand our cat’s personality, routine, and quirks. We felt completely at ease leaving our cat in her care. During our absence, Alyssa provided daily updates, complete with adorable photos, which put our minds at ease. We returned home to the same happy, well-adjusted cat that we left a week before. It’s clear our cat received competent, loving care. We would definitely use Alyssa as a pet-sitter again.”

Alexandra S.

“Jordan is an amazing dog sitter, he is extremely knowledgeable about dogs. My Lincoln is quite a handful and he does great with him. I highly recommend him”
