“Ellyanna was great for drop in visits for our cat while on vacation! She was excellent at communicating, understood our cat’s needs, and was flexible on changes we needed too. Would definitely work with her again!”
“Emilie was wonderful with our cat, Sunshine! Sunshine is very shy around those he does not know but, made friends quickly with Emilie! She showed up to feed him and spent time with him and let him stretch his legs out on the lanai. She showed up on time both days and my home was safe and sound and our Sunshine was happy and comfortable when we returned home. 😊 Emilie I cannot thank you enough for looking out for Sunshine! Thank you for being so kind and helping us out this weekend!”
“This was a last minute request and Silke was super responsive to all messages. Her communication was clear and prompt. I felt very safe with her and she more than delivered on her promises. I am very hapoy and will use her again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was really young! I had lots of different pets growing up, so I have experience with all types of animals. I have done pet sitting before, by myself and helping my sisters. I am currently on summer break before I go to college at the end of September, so I have lots of free time to take care of pets! I have lots of free time to check on the pets and stay in the house, whatever is needed! I love going on walks, so I have no problems taking your pets for walks or being outside with them!
About: I have multiple pets already and they all get along with other animals really well, I am the same way and really just enjoy being around animals of all types, and they are often better then having kids. For my own pets it’s everyday all the time, and it would be the same for your pets. Anytime help is needed I can answer that call. My pets have their own rooms, we go on walks everyday, they all have insurance on them, they get fed twice a day and have constant access to water. And most importantly lots of love, attention, and siblings to play with.
About: My schedule allows me to have the utmost flexibility to love on your pets and play with them day and night. I find a lot of joy in staying active and bringing peace of mind to pet parents while they travel, work and live their busy lives. I am currently working minimally part time and have lots of flexibility for overnights, walks, playtime and pop ins. I am always completely off of Fridays and the weekends and work Mon-Wed 9-12pm so I can make just about anything work! It is very important to me that you feel excited for your trip or whatever you are doing that you are needing pet care for. I know having pets can create a lot of stress and planning when you go to leave them so I make it my mission to make sure they feel right at home and in their normal routine. I will send you daily pictures if you'd like and am happy to be flexible to keep the pets in their schedule and environment.
“Liza was referred by a sitter I’ve used in the past that I have great confidence in. Liza was flexible and easy to communicate with. I appreciated the updates she provided and could see that my kitty felt safe a comfortable in her care. Thanks Liza!”
About: I have a true love for all animals, and I am dedicated to helping people take proper care of their pets. If you want someone who knows what they’re doing, and will love your animal dearly, give me a try! I have a 4-year-old pup at home whom I care for every day. For this summer especially, my schedule is more open and flexible, allowing me to easily help out you and your pet. I am always super gentle and friendly with animals, and am good at reading body language. I have had animals all my life, and feel confident that I will keep your pet safe and happy!
About: I’ve had a range of pets from turtles, cats, dogs to hamsters. I absolutely love furry friends and because I travel often I want to help within my community the best I can. I love spoiling doggos and because right now I don’t have the space to own one myself, I have so much love to share with the furry ones. I’m currently working part-time as a SUBSTITUTE teacher during the summer, but I would love to find families or people who need an extra hand with doggy care. Weekends are more open, but I have a flexible schedule. I have a car with backseat covers so that your dog can safely be transported to go on wax just about anywhere. And I think dogs feel the most comfortable in their own home so whether the service is in Home or out of home, I will treat your dog with the best care and support them to feel the most happy while with me.

About: Passionate and devoted animal lover with years of experience in pet care, including personal ownership and watching friends' pets. Your furry companions will receive trusted and compassionate care. Previously a Forester, now currently in between jobs, so I have a decent amount of free time while pursuing some side quests to get by. Depending on what is needed specifically from the pet owner I will tailor my approach according to that, but giving them the same amount of care and attention that I do with all critters.
