“Tiffany stayed at our house with our pup for a good week while we went on vacation and we could not be happier with her time with Phoebe!! We received pics everyday and had great communication…and our house was clean upon our return!! She is an excellent dog sitter and we will be calling on her again!”
“Joy did a wonderful job with my pups while I was away for nearly 2weeks. Unexpectedly she had to take my one to the vet as we noticed something just the day before I had to leave. She kept me fully updated along the way and I felt a lot better knowing she would show the same amount of concern and care as I would. I received frequent updates and lots of pictures too! My dogs are definitely a handful and take a good amount of patience, so I really appreciate all that she does for me. I would definitely have Joy stay at my house any time I am in need of a kind hearted pet lover.”
About: I have cared for puppies including potty training, mature dogs and have rehabilitated several dogs over the years. Also farm animals including goats and horses and other small pets such as cats, rabbits and hamsters I’m a retired teacher that has plenty of time to care for your pets including weekdays and weekends. I will spend ample time time interacting with your pet as well as walking and feeding them I will follow your pet care schedule and be diligent about safety concerns. I understand pets thrive on routines and will follow their schedule while I’m taking care of your pets.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I absolutely adore all animals and am super picky about how my pets are cared for. It's always scary leaving them with anyone new, so you can be sure that I will take care of yours exactly how you ask me to and will make sure they are safe and have everything they need. I've trained all of my dogs and currently have an elderly girl so I have experience across all age ranges. I'm very used to administering medications and handling complex diets. I'm not currently working outside of the home so I have tons of free time to care for your pet/pets. I am available day or night currently. I will follow your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You know best what your pet needs and I will follow your lead. I will make sure they are safe at all times and pay attention to all the little details.
“Paula was fantastic. We went through a lot of issues with our old cat, Wee Tee, who was in the last stages of kidney failure, and she was helpful and understanding throughout the process. In the end, we needed to euthanize him right before leaving on our trip. We were very concerned about leaving our younger cat, Archie, so soon after his partner had died, so Paula came, stayed with him and gave him so much love! We could not have asked for a more caring sitter and hope to use her again whenever we travel.”
“Brittany was so great with our two pups! She did great at sending updates & communicating with us so we felt at east the whole time we were away! So thankful to have found someone to love on our dogs!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My home is pet-friendly with a fenced yard and ensures a safe, comfortable environment for your dog. I’m currently on college break and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available with a 3 week notice anytime that works for you. I have a fenced yard for plenty of playtime, and I’ll make sure your pup gets regular walks for exercise. I’ll also clean up after them and ensure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.
“Craig was wonderful with my dogs. He sent pictures and responded to emails. He also stayed at my home and brought in packages as requested. I would highly recommend him for your dog and house sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, have learned a lot extensively these past 4 1/2 years, a lot about their behavior, body language different personalities, etc. I’ve trained and worked with senior dogs and puppies as young as 14 weeks old! Pet care is a daily routine for me. Once I get up in the morning I let my dog out, feed both him and my cat, make sure they’ve both got plenty of water. I will either take my dog out on walks or exercise and train with him in the backyard. I do brush them (or try to) weekly as well. Depending on the type of yard the home has, I will either A. Let dog(s) out in fenced back yard Or B. Let dog(s) out on lead. If one is not friendly with another I can crate and rotate to prevent issues and ensure both dogs (or as many as there are) are all shown the right amount of attention and care! As far as cats go I like to take my time as I know not all of them are social, I tend to not push boundaries and let them do as they please while they have time to warm up to me. :)
About: I love animals & i will make sure i take good care of them & play with them a lot. I’ve had my dog king that passed away 2 months ago for 6+ years so i know how to take care of a dog & i will make sure they feel loved. I will take them on as many walks as they want. Your dog or cat will be in good care with me. Your pets will be safe with me. If your dogs are good with other dogs i will take them to the park and walk/play with them there. I get out of school at 12:07 so i can watch your dogs any time after that and i can watch them til whatever time you need me to
“Jenn did a great job taking care of Daisy paying special attention to her quirks. Daisy was happy and well cared for while we were away allowing me to enjoy my get away. I will definitely book Jenn again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since the day I was born, so much so that I decided to become an RVT! I’m also an equine massage therapist! I work full time but I have a lot of free time on evenings and weekends. I also am not a big vacation person myself so I’m usually available if last minute plans “happen” I can not offer care in my home but I will take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home. This proves to be best for your fur baby!
