About: We volunteer at the Danville SPCA caring for the cats and dogs at their facility. We currently have 4 cats of our own and bottle-feed orphaned kittens from time to time through a local rescue. We have experience from puppies-seniors and have clients who are blind and on insulin and oral medications. *We only host one family at a time so we can give your pet(s) all the attention they need. ***due to our home owners insurance, we can NOT board pit bulls, Rottweilers, Akitas, but would be happy to offer any other service for those breeds*** We both work but I (Celest) only work part time and close to home so we can check in on pets throughout the day for potty breaks. Potty breaks every 0-2 hours! We only book one household at a time so your pets won’t have to share our attention! We have a fenced in yard for SUPERVISED playtime. Pets are CRATED while we are asleep or at work. Once we get to know your pet we can discuss not using a crate. Pets are treated like our own which means they are allowed on the furniture and can go on car rides unless you tell us otherwise.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. Neighbors and family relied on me to care for their fur babies like I would care for mine. I’m currently part-time as a photographer, so I have time to care for your pets. I can pet sit the weekends and during the weekdays. I have no fenced yard, but I always go outside with them for company and safety. I do playtimes and I do walks with schedules; such as they have a feeding time, walking in certain time of the day, etc.
About: Does your dog have a flair for the dramatics? Would your puppy enjoy long walks around the neighborhood while listening to recitations of Shakespeare's greatest works? I am a theatre professional who takes care of animals in her spare time. Your animals will be a part of my family just as any cast or crew member I work with. I like to stay active and have fun and would be the perfect companion to help watch over your fur baby for a couple of days or for a short break to play with them or take a walk. I have grown up with dogs, worked and volunteered with animal organizations, and have watched over friend's and family's dogs. No matter the canine, I am ready! I'm also a loving mom of two adorable cats
“Brendan has shown kindness and care for my two baby cats Chubi and Cholo. He also responded to our messages promptly. I enjoyed my vacation knowing that my boys were in good hands.”
“Kaitlynn has visited with and cared for my dog during multiple visits now. She is easy to communicate with, sends pictures and updates, and my dog loves her and is well cared for! I would recommend Kaitlynn to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”

About: I've had my own dog for 11 years and I've pet sat for many friends/family. No dog is too big or too small. I have no issue with particular instructions, and will follow any rules you have in place for your dog I work full time on 1st shift, Monday to Friday, so I will be available evenings. On Saturday and Sunday, I will be available all day/night! I have a fenced yard and two dogs at my home. Most likely, our dogs will be separated at all times, even though mine are friendly. I would rather stay on the safe side. But I will treat your animal as my own while in my care. Giving them all the attention, love, and time they need while you're away.

“We were so happy to have Jasmine! We were gone for the holidays and she made sure to keep our cats very happy while we were away. With lots of photos each day and the little updates she sent, we felt very secure in being away from the house. She did a great job :)”

About: I have had cats for my entire life so I am familiar with any temperament they have to offer. I love dogs of all kinds and love to play with them! My work schedule is M-F until 4:30. I have 2 small children who are very active, so generally my availability will be between 7-10pm daily. I work full time, so I am available on weekday evenings as well as weekends. I am happy to work with you on timing if needed! In my own home I love to snuggle my cats as much as they will let me. We keep everything clean and like to keep a routine. When caring for pets in someone else’s house I am respectful of their home and make sure to provide the best possible car.

“Took great care of my dogs. Excellent communication. Always happy to have her check in on my dogs.”
Abby K.
“She currently has a husky/Shepard mix and a Great Dane. To say those dogs are loved and spoiled is an understatement. She lives for those pups. They have more food, toys, treats, clothes and blankets than she does. She was raised with golden doodles who were also very much loved and spoiled. Abby is an amazing person and when it comes to dogs she can’t help but to love them up, help them, and give them everything. I wouldn’t only trust her with any pup, but can say your dog will get more than you expect or asked for from her.”
Kasi B.
“I've know Kasi for well over a decade and she has always been wonderful with pets. With two cats of her own, and others in the past, she is reliable, loving, and knowledgeable. She will show up when she says and treat your pets as if they were her own.”
