Haley was awesome! She took care of our puppy and cat for a week. They were both so happy! She gave them so much attention and kept us informed while we were away. When we came home the house was spotless! Our pets were relaxed and you could tell she spent a great deal of time with them to keep them entertained. We will definitely hire Haley again!

Jennifer and her family took care of my dog for a week while we were out of town. Her detail to his well-being was exceptional and she offered many additional things such as giving him a bath, cleaning a gooey ear, offered to trim his nails and a calming care supplement for his nervous sensitivity. Upon return, I could see he had been in good hands! In the past when we’ve gone, he’s ended up with hotspots from stress, but this time his coat was healthy, and he seemed to relaxed.

I was a little nervous about using this method of dog sitting but after I returned I was so happy. My dog was not the usual nervous nilly when I use to pick her up at kennel. My dog sitter Katie was great! She sent me updates which made me happy. She was great with my dog and gave her all the attention she wanted.

About: I have a dog allergy that I take medicine for. I am willing to work with dogs. I am hoping that exposure to dogs will help my allergies improve. I am flexible with my schedule. I can accommodate and move around my days depending on your needs. I have a 4 year old, so it will all hinge on her care. I have a senior cat living with me. I know how to follow dietary or physical restrictions set by the pets' owners. Clear instructions are key.

Highly recommend Erin for your critter care!! 11/10!!! She watched out 2 dogs, cat, chickens, and house for a week and a half and did such an amazing job. She was very communicative, giving us updates every night. She left the house cleaner than when we left and just did such a good job with our animals. We will absolutely be having Erin help us again and you should too!!

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs and cats since childhood. In my more recent years I have dog sat for family members and neighbors. I have enjoyed being able to give peace of mind to them knowing their pets are safe, happy, and cared for. Owning a dog and cat myself I understand the stress and fear of having to leave your pets. Whether it’s work, vacation and other life events it can feel like you’re leaving a piece of your heart behind while you’re away. I strive to bridge that gap and be able to provide peace of mind. My dog is a rescue and came to me with some behavioral challenges: fear, reactivity, resource guarding and separation anxiety. Since being with me he is a thriving boy with manners and is learning new skills and tricks every week! That being said I don’t scare easily and have experience managing a variety of behaviors. I know from experience leaving a pet that has some big feelings at times can be even more challenging and thats where I come in. To offer you peace of mind knowing your dog or cat will be safe and cared for with me. I firmly believe in the saying no bad dogs and would love to get the opportunity to take one worry off your plate while you are away! I have summers off and am able to be around as much or as little as needed for your pet in the summers as that is a busy time for vacations. I do structured schedules with play, train walk and rest times with pets. I can also create scheduled enrichment times throughout our time together. I try to cater what we are doing based on needs of the dog so they are fulfilled.

Once again Liseli provided us with a piece of mind knowing our beloved Elvis was being looked after with the same level of love and caring we would bestow upon him. And our house was also cared for as we would care for it- it was in perfect order when we returned. We feel so lucky to have found Liseli!!!!

Jedan is amazing!!! She stayed at our house for about a week and cared for (and spoiled!) Kimmie as if she were her own, buying her toys/treats and even cooking for her. She kept us constantly updated with messages and photos and was extremely respectful. Looking forward to booking her again!

About: I always tune into the unique personality of each animal and I don't rest until I'm sure the animal knows its safe, loved and cared for. Since I was born I have loved animals so genuinely and patiently that I've never encountered a problem, even with the hard to figure out ones. I love them all and my husband does as well. Therefore we treat our pets like they're one of us, with plentiful attention. We are complete home-bodies. We like spending time outdoors, and going for walks. Our home is very inviting as well, with a fenced yard, multiple spare rooms, close to many trails near by and lots of spare blankets and pillows. Feel free to give any advise on how to care better for your dog, and I will be more than happy to accommodate.

Rhonda was so kind and provided detailed information on how my elderly dog was doing while I was away. Her communication allowed me peace of mind that my dog was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her, she took excellent care of my dog and even got her to eat her meds which she typically refuses to do’

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have been pet sitting for family, friends and anyone in need for the last three years! I have experience with both puppies between the ages of six months and two years old and senior dogs up to the age of 13. I am currently working part-time as a nanny most Thursdays through Saturdays, I am typically always available during the beginning of the week and work some half day shifts nannying so my schedule is open to changes. I always ask my clients to provide me with a strict set of rules and requirements, so that both myself, and the client feel comfortable with me being in the space.
