This was our first time hiring a sitter for drop-in pet minding, and Karen made it an incredibly comfortable and low-stress experience. Daily check-ins complete with pictures and a little report kept us smiling and looking forward to the next day, so we could see more cute pet pics. Karen even caught a problem with our pool that we were able to inform our landlord of so he could take care of it while we're out of country - she really just went above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her work 🥰 We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I promise you won't regret doing the same!

Ashley has always been great with my puppies. They are hard to handle and full of energy, and yet she somehow manages great photos and videos of them while keeping them entertained. She follows all special instructions to the letter, and she is always on time. Can’t say enough about how much my puppies love her visits!

Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!

About: I have experience caring for my own pets as well as a numerous amount of exotic animals. I am a former zookeeper and had made caring for animals my career. I am confident caring for all animal species as well as administering various medications. Personally, I have four dogs and two cats. I regularly take all of my dogs to the dog park and they get along with other animals well. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a day than to take care of mans best friend. Pet care fits in every part of my day. I ensure all of my animals are fed and have water each morning. All of my dogs enjoy a 2-3 mile walk and a trip to the dog park almost daily. I also make sure everyone gets a good mix of playtime and rest each day. I start every morning with feeding all of my animals. They are the first thing on my mind and I want to make sure they are nourished right away. With caring for a client’s animals they will equally be in the forefront of my mind and will make sure all of their needs are met and consistent with their routine.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of genuine love and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. While I may be young, I've been the primary caregiver for my own dogs for years, giving me a deep understanding of their unique needs. My experience includes raising my own dog, Peanut, from a puppy in 2020, so I am well-versed in the high energy, patience, and consistent routine that young dogs require. Furthermore, I care for my dog Butters, who joined our family in 2021, and have experience with the compassionate care elderly dogs need. This hands-on history includes administering daily oral medications, managing different canine personalities at the same time, and ensuring every dog feels individually loved and attended to. For over four years, I have been solely responsible for the reliable and trustworthy routine of feeding, walking, and caring for my dogs. You can have peace of mind knowing I will follow your instructions precisely and maintain your pet's normal schedule to minimize their stress while you're away. Ultimately, my goal is simple: to treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give to my own beloved Peanut and Butters! My weekly schedule as a college student is actually perfect for pet care. I have no classes from Friday through Sunday, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm free from noon onward. Since I don't have a job, I can offer my full and undivided attention to any pet I care for. This means your pet would become my main focus. This flexibility allows me to provide excellent care. On weekends, I am completely free for long walks, adventure hikes, or just providing constant companionship through house-sitting. For pets that need afternoon care, my free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays is ideal for long visits, play sessions, or stopping by to break up their day. My main goal is to keep pets happy and comfortable by sticking to their normal routine. Since I stay in your home for overnight stays, I make sure your pet feels like they're on a fun staycation. I follow all your instructions for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’ll also take care of your home by bringing in mail and watering plants. My schedule is very open, so I can spend lots of quality time with your pet, giving them plenty of attention so they don’t get lonely. For shorter drop-in visits, I come by to let your dog out, play with them, or just keep them company for a little while. I always make sure they have fresh water and give you a quick update with a photo so you know they’re doing well. When I take dogs for walks, I focus on giving them good exercise and making sure they’re safe. I follow your preferred route and let them explore at a comfortable pace. After the walk, I’ll make sure they have water and are settled back in. No matter which service you choose, I’ll keep you updated with messages and pictures. My flexible schedule means I can give your pet my full attention, and I always treat your home and your furry friend with care and respect.

Alex went above and beyond taking care of our three kitties while we were gone! She is very communicative, sending amazing, detailed updates and many pictures of all of the pets. She even stayed longer than we scheduled to help clean up a mess and calm our cats down. She really takes time with each pet and makes sure they get equal attention. You can tell she really has a heart for animals.

Karen was amazing with my kitties. She always sent pictures of the food, water, and clean box along with pictures of the kitties playing and cuddling. One of my cats needed to be in an e-collar, and every picture of him that she sent showed him wearing the e-collar. Her detailed visit summaries were correct and accurate descriptions of the kitties’ personalities, showing she actually spent time with them and kept them company during her visits. I am so grateful she took great care of them during the holiday season. Thank you Karen!

She's the best. Eva did drop ins with my boy Kasper. I'm transitioning from remote work to in person full time and needed someone to drop in to check on my baby while I was working. Eva is very professional, very kind, reasonable, accommodating, and she goes above and beyond. She gave Kasper the type of attention and affection I do and he was always so happy in the photos she'd send me.
