Joleen is such a sweet human and pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to care for the animals she watches over. She swept up litter and cleaned out Jack’s wet food dish everyday! She played with Jack and was respectful in our home! Jack can throw a fit and poop outside his box when we leave and she was so sweet in taking care of his temper tantrums! She was thoughtful enough to bring in our Amazon packages as well! Defintiely would rebook with Joleen

About: 30 + years caring and training exotic and domestic animals in a professional setting. I am recently retired so I have flexibility in my day to visit your pets and take them for walks while you are busy at work. I understand the pressure of work life and trying to care for your pet. I will always have safety front of mind and never allow other dogs to interact with your dog unless they are showing good behavior. I can take care of cats, dogs , birds or other exotics. I will treat your pets as my own and give you the peace of mind of knowing your pets are well cared for. I am mostly available in the mornings and early afternoons but will work with each client depending on their needs. I do require a meet and greet before accepting new clients so please contact me to set that up so I can meet you and your pet. I am experienced in animal health care and can respond to any emergency that may come up while I am responsible for your pet. I will take photos when we are out and about and send them to you so you know I was with your pet.

Cindy was such a loving sitter, my puppy Buddy was always in such a good mood after they would spend time together. She made sure Buddy was well taken care of during their walks. She went above and beyond and would help with cleaning his paws if they had a wet or muddy walk. She’s clear with communication, responsive, and attentive. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a pet caregiver in the area.

Our cat usually will not come out for a sitter for several days. But he poked his head out from under the bed and let her pet him the second day! She definitely understands cats. Was calm and let Picasso come to her. By the third day they were buddies. We have another longer trip planned and are so happy she is available!

Annabella would be a wonderful addition to the team due to her extensive experience with working with animals, friendly personality, flexibility in schedule, and entrusted reliability. She’s currently enrolled in college working towards her Bachelor's degree but she still makes it a priority to have a flexible schedule, ensuring she’s dedicated to all her responsibilities. She’s extremely friendly and very sociable, always making an effort to check in on anyone she meets and puts cares into the people she gets to know. She really cares for anyone who gets the chance to talk with her. With having a lot of experience working customer service, Annabella is both confident and comfortable working with new clients and customers and understands how to properly advocate for what they want, making sure the clients needs are met respectfully. She has experience taking care of and overlooking dogs, understanding how to work with pets of all nature and properly assisting them so they are protected, healthy, and cared for. She’s also grown up having pets of all kinds, from horses, to snakes, to dogs, and hamsters. Annabella really does love animals and it shows in how attentive she is when she cares for them. She has extensive knowledge in the complexity of taking care of each unique animal, so any pet she’ll be handed she’ll know how to confidently care for them. Annabella would not only be a wonderful employee to have but an amazing dog carer. She treats both humans and animals the same, always making sure the people or pets she is around are welcomed and have a great time.

Dani was great! She was very respectful of our time and home. She updated me along the way while I was gone and even got my more timid cat to play while she was there! She was easily communicated with and responsive. Will definitely ask her again to watch my cats when I’m on vacation.

Nilab is so great! She has watched my cats twice now and is so good at getting them comfortable and out of their shell. They can be nervous with new people especially when I am gone but Novak is so kind and patient and it’s been great to see my pets warm up to her. She’s is very communicative and sends great updates as well. I can have so much peace of mind knowing Nilab is taking really good care of my cats. Thank you!

About: Hi, I’m Kaila—a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What started as helping friends and family has turned into a true passion for providing pets with a safe, loving, and engaging environment while their humans are away. Why Choose Me? 🐶 For Dogs: 🐾 Experienced with All Ages & Special Needs – Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy, administering medication to a senior dog, or supporting a pet with special needs like epilepsy or anxiety, I have hands-on experience adapting care to fit each dog’s unique personality and health requirements. 🐾 Training Experience – I attended puppy training classes with Pimi, my former roommate’s shelter mix, and learned key training techniques in obedience, socialization, and leash manners. I also helped train a reactive pittie using positive reinforcement and high-reward treats to build confidence and trust. 🐾 Diverse Pet Care Background – From raising a litter of 11 puppies to helping my sister’s dog through pregnancy and birth, I have experience in every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve also helped socialize a high-energy cattle dog, managed a shy rescue pup’s trust-building journey, and cared for Norwegian Elkhounds with extensive grooming needs. 🐾 Reliable & Trustworthy – I take pet care seriously and ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, structured play, or a cozy evening on the couch, I tailor my care to fit your dog’s personality and energy levels. 🐾 Outdoor Adventures Available – If your pup loves exercise, I offer hikes (with owner approval) to keep them engaged and happy. A Little More About Me & My Experience: 🐶 Dogs I’ve Cared For Include: • A pittie with reactivity triggers (Blu) • A shelter mix with epilepsy requiring daily meds (Pimi) • A cattle dog with high exercise needs (Dash) • A Norwegian Elkhound show dog with specialized grooming needs (Molly) • An elder Norwegian Elkhound requiring daily meds and support standing, etc. (Lucy) • A shy rescue pup that needed trust-building (Wiley) • A Ridgeback puppy with high energy and some resource guarding (Fern) What You Can Expect from Me: ✔️ Lots of love, playtime, and attention tailored to your pet’s personality ✔️ Medication administration (if needed) ✔️ Regular updates & photos so you never have to worry ✔️ Walks, exercise, and enrichment activities (for dogs) ✔️ Playtime, enrichment, and respect for routine (for cats) ✔️ A clean and safe environment I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet & greet so I can learn more about how to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. 😊🐾 I currently work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care to pets who need companionship throughout the day. 🐶 For Dogs: Whether it’s keeping an anxious puppy company, ensuring a senior dog sticks to their routine, or providing regular walks and playtime, I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I’m also available for longer stays if your dog requires more attention or consistency. 🐱 For Cats: Cats thrive on routine, and I can provide care that aligns with their schedule, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just quiet companionship. If your cat is shy, I’ll take the time to build trust at their pace, and if they’re active, I’ll make sure they get the engagement and enrichment they need. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾 I prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for every pet I care for, whether in their home or out on a walk. My goal is to reduce stress, provide enrichment, and keep pets happy while their owners are away. 🐶 For Dogs: I follow each dog's routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior, and I have experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and confidence-building for anxious or reactive dogs. If your pup enjoys extra activity, I can also take them on hikes (with owner approval) for a fun and enriching experience. Safety is always my top priority—whether that means using a secure harness, monitoring off-leash time in approved areas, or making sure your pup feels comfortable before engaging in play. 🐱 For Cats: I understand that cats have unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe and at ease. Whether they’re social and playful or more reserved, I adjust my approach to match their comfort level. I have experience caring for senior cats, administering medication, and engaging younger, high-energy cats with interactive play. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean, feeding routines are followed, and they get plenty of attention (or space) based on their individual needs. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾

I can’t recommend Christina enough! Our dog is very anxious, and it’s not always easy for her to feel comfortable with new people. But Christina has a special way of making her feel calm and safe, which gives us so much peace of mind when we’re away. She takes extra time to ensure our dog is still receiving the best care and attention, even in our absence. It’s clear that she genuinely loves and understands animals, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her as our pet sitter. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, caring, and reliable, Christina is the best!

Rachel has watched our pets since 2009. She's taken care of our dogs, cats, goats and chickens. Her experience as a veterinary assistant has been an invaluable addition. She's always on time and we've never had any issues with the animals while she's on watch. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone who needs a smart, sweet and reliable person to care for their pets while they're away.
