Sandra was very accommodating in terms of scheduling the drop in visits. She showed up as scheduled and had a good rapport with my kitties. I would book her again.

Melanie was wonderful with our cat! Our cat automatically went right up to her, which is always a great sign. She followed all of our instructions carefully, was very accommodating, and communicated well throughout the process. Her rates were also very reasonable, and she was kind, reliable, and easy to work with. We felt comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

About: I have had lots of different types of animal experiences since I was a child including always having a cat in the household and volunteering with animal shelters. My specialty is cats but I have a few years experience with sitting and walking dogs as well. I am always up for a new challenge and am very capable and adaptable. I have worked in many animal shelters, as well as managed a cat shelter, so I am very comfortable approaching all animals. I have a very flexible schedule because I run my own cat oriented business and make my own hours. My whole life is animals, so I love to fit them into my life as much as possible. I currently only offer services in my clients’ homes, and to ensure that their pets are always safe and secure, I am very on top of communication and checking in with my pet parents. I like to review all instructions together to make sure I don’t have any questions and know exactly what contacts are (vet, ER, friends) for emergencies. I always respect other people’s space and will leave things exactly as I left them, if not better. Letting someone into your home to take care of your fur family requires a lot of trust and I feel honored when someone allows me that privilege.

Mary was amazing with my two goldens. They’re both very energetic and strong pullers on the leash and Mary was able to wrangle them no problem! She came over to meet the pups before hand and was so sweet to my dogs and to us. Send me photos every walk and give a full report back about everything the pups did! We all felt very comfortable with her off the bat as well. I would definitely have Mary back to care for our pups and recommend her to you 10/10!

Carly is a very professional and caring person. Her love for animals and the care she gives them really shows. The attention she has given Daisy and the updates she gives me daily shows how committed she is to giving the best service possible. I would recommend her to anyone if they need a hard working professional to look after their animal companion.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.

About: I have officially 2 years of dog sitting experience I would babysit one of my bosses dog and take her on walks along with keeping her company and happy. However when I was a kid I used to take my dog out on walks along with a few people in my neighborhood, I even tried making my own dog walking business at the age of 10 but that didn’t really work out well. I have a few cats at home so I’m perfectly fine with taking care of cats as well. I work part time at a daycare so my schedule really depends on what my schedule there looks like but I am more than happy to squeeze something in before or after my shift. I’m more than happy to play all day with dogs and cat or just keep them company while sitting inside or outside. I’m more than capable of going on long walks and if available I wouldn’t mind a good hike with your dogs as well :)

About: I've grown up with animals since I was born and have gained the largest appreciation for pets of all shapes and sizes. Besides this, I have watched numerous pets for friends, family, and neighbors and ensured all pet's needs were met. Whether this was special diets, long walks, hours of play time, I love spending any and all time with animals. I do work a full time job usually M/W/F/Sun from 4 until about 12:30pm. I am also a full time student working on getting her bachelors. I always make plenty of time for drop ins to care for pets. Saturdays are usually always free so I have the time to really care for your pets needs! I’m willing to discuss what availability you’re looking for. I am open to almost all special requests you might need for you pet! Whatever practices/care needs you are looking for, I am willing to adjust to.

Elicia took really great care of my cat over a long weekend. She was on time, followed medication and feeding instructions correctly, cleaned up after kitty had an accident, and communicated well with me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elicia to other pet owners and would trust her again to care for my cat next time I'm away!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets for over 25 years and truly love being around animals. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets because I’m calm, dependable, attentive, and patient. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with kindness and care as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a calm, caring home and love walks, outdoor time, companionship, and giving pets the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
