“Kyelene is very sweet and I could tell Asher enjoyed his time with her as he chased after the door when she left cause he didn’t want her to leave. She sent pictures of him and kept me updated on his activities. She was early and I felt very comfortable with leaving Asher with her in my home. We did a meet and greet the day before as well, and that was much appreciated.”
“Joanna showed up on time, communicated with me beforehand, sent pics and videos of my fur baby while I was gone, and you could see how happy he was in the pics and videos and when I returned home. Appreciate her love for animals!”
About: I've been taking care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I grew up around dogs and have yet to meet one that doesn't like me. Through the years, I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats; from young, crazy pups to old, sick dogs and from ornery mostly outdoor cats to snuggly kitties that want to use me as a bed. My other job is remote, so my schedule is very flexible for whatever your pet may need. Weekends or weekdays doesn't make much of a difference. I'm also a morning person, so early morning walks, feedings, etc are perfectly fine! For boarding, I have one pet friendly roommate and dog. The dog is so cat friendly that she annoys some cats by trying to convince them to play. My yard is fenced, but there is currently a damaged section that has been covered with temporary plastic fencing. The damage will be repaired soon and until then, I don't let anyone out there without supervision. For house sitting or drop-ins, I treat your pets the way I would want mine treated. I also try to match any routines your pet might be used to, if it's eating at a certain time or always being let out at a certain time, just let me know and I'll make sure to keep things as familiar as possible for your furry friends.
“Great communication! Thankful for her”
About: The safety of your pet and your property are my highest priorities! My warm, easygoing personality help put both pets and people at ease. While I will eagerly help care for most ages, senior pets have captured my heart the most because they often need the most TLC. I've both owned and fostered senior cats, and I've dog-sat for seniors several times. I work in freelance editing and writing, which allows me to work anywhere and at any time! This gives me the freedom to pet sit according to your schedule. Other than your pet, the safety and security of your home is my top priority. I will ensure all appropriate doors are latched and locked properly, and if I see anything odd or suspicious, I will immediately let you know!
About: I am a huge dog lover!! I used to volunteer at the humane society growing up and that’s when I fell in love with taking care of dogs. I am very patient when it comes to dogs which have I found is key. I will always keep my eye on the dog just to make sure there is no mischief going on. I will always listen to what you do with your dog and promise to follow their routine and any given instructions. I think it will be very important to also build a good and trusting relationship with also you the owner since you are putting your trust in me with taking care of your beloved pet. If you have any questions feel free to ask me anything! I am currently working nights part time at the hospital and am a full time nursing student, but I am always available on the weekends and sometimes during they day. I do have a fenced backyard for my dog, and we use the kennel for when we are away for more than a few hours.
“We loved having Kirsten here staying in our home with our two cocker spaniels for 3 days/2 nights. She did a wonderful job and our pups loved her. She followed all directions and gave us daily updates. We will definitely have Kirsten again and we were very comfortable having her stay in our home.”
“Chloe was very helpful and took care of our crew perfectly. Thanks!”
“Tamra did an outstanding job of house sitting, Fred sitting as well as keeping Fred and his overly concerned and worried parents happy. LOL We received multiple pictures and texts every day showing how Fred was doing and how much fun they were having together. We had the best possible experience having Tamra as our Fred's caregiver. In the future she will be our "go to" at home pet sitter.”
“Stacy was absolutely incredible with our with our pup! We seriously cannot say enough good things about her! We greatly appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet with him so he would be comfortable with her before she stayed. We knew right away that she has a true passion and great knowledge of caring for dogs. He instantly took to her calming nature. Our boxer gets a little separation anxiety from us being away and her compassion for making sure he felt loved and comfortable put him right at ease. She truly went above and beyond. As a worried dog mom, her constant updates made me feel so much better knowing he was doing well. I loved getting her frequent photos and videos of him through the day. She stayed at our home over the 4th of July weekend and we had some periods where fireworks were giving him anxiety as well. She was so patient with him and stayed in his room with him so he felt comforted. When we arrived home our house was left just the way we left and our boy was happy as can be! We won’t go to anyone else for watching our boy! If you have the opportunity to book with Stacy you will be so lucky! We are so grateful we found her.”

About: I've grown up taking care of and loving animals, and have always wanted to go into a profession where I can do that forever.

I've dog sat both newborn puppies and raptor puppies and one senior dog so I can handle anything they throw at me for sure!! I am currently unemployed because I want to find the right job for me, so I have all the time in the world to tune into your pets wants and needs!! Maybe I can turn this into my full time job! Currently I do not offer my home to take care of your babies, but that is only because I have 4 dogs and two cats already and I feel that would overwhelm any dog or cat that stayed here!

My family takes care of them while I care for your pets at your home so it's a win win situation!
