About: I’m a retired nurse who now wants to turn my nurturing skills to animals! I have had dogs and cats for many years (currently one dog) and have cared for others’ pets as well. I have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs. My dog Rocky and I are excited at the thought of having your pet in our home! We promise to taking loving care of your fur baby. I am usually home other than watching my grandchildren several hours a week. This is a flexible arrangement which allows me to frequently check in at home. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep our guests company. I can accommodate pad trained dogs as well as outdoor trained.
About: I've had a cat since I was 8, and my grandparents have always had a dog. I have experience cat-sitting and dog-walking, and I love meeting new animals! When looking after a pet, I think it's most important that they feel loved. Until May 20, I have school from 7:40-3:00PM. During the summer, I'm available all week, and some weekends. I'm able to wake up early or go to bed late based on the pet's needs. At my home, I have a cat who stays inside. We keep dangerous objects out of her reach and give her a comfy area to sleep, eat, and use the bathroom. I like giving animals space to move around and giving them loving pets!
“Miranda was punctual and took great pics of our dog!”
About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. Note: the only breed of dog that I will not board in my home are pitbulls. My daughter had a traumatic experience with a pitbull so she is very triggered by that breed. I will gladly watch pitbulls in your home and care for them outside of my home. I think they do get a bad reputation for being an aggressive breed but due to our experience, we unfortunately don’t feel comfortable having them around our children. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.
“Kristin was absolutely amazing with my three cats! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced with animals. Each visit was thoroughly documented with photos, updates, and thoughtful notes that really gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cats can be a bit particular, but Kristin handled their different personalities like a pro—giving each one the attention and care they needed. I came home to three happy, relaxed kitties and a spotless home. If you're looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for your pets, I can't recommend Kristin enough. She's truly a gem!”
“Esther did a great job checking in and taking care of my two kitties while we were on vacation for a week. Would definitely recommend and hope to use her in the future. Thank you so much Esther!”
“Aubrey is awesome and she went beyond what she was supposed to do to take care of Harley. We could have not found a better new friend for Harley.”
“Mikayla has a clear love of animals, and she went above and beyond to spend time and play with our two needy cats. It was nice having the peace of mind during our travels to know they were getting the care they needed.”
“Jen is the BEST! She is thorough, detailed and cares 1000% about making sure your pet is being taken care of properly! I feel so comfortable knowing she’s giving my cat some serious TLC when I’m gone. Thank you Jen!!”
