Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.

Madison was an excellent sitter and cared for my pets like they were her own! She is very professional, has excellent communication, and asked detailed questions to ensure everything was covered. Madison played fetch with them and gave them cuddles and checked on them during her work lunch breaks. Seriously, would book her again!!

Gemma took great care of both of our large dogs. She stayed at our house for two nights, played with the pups until they were wore out and gave us frequent pupdates. She also cares for other animals as she took care of our conure. She left the house spotless and was very pleasant to deal with.

About: I have had between 2-4 animals in my house since I was a kid. I have been pet sitting animals from kittens/puppies all the way up to 16 years old for the past 4 years consistently. I am good with helping animals take their meds and will interact with animals at their pace. I am currently working a part time job and starting full online classes so I can get my masters. This means that I will be free most of the time and will be able to make my schedule fit around my clients needs. In my clients home I will make sure to follow instructions given to me, ensuring I am familiar with all details to give the animals the best care. I will take any animals that enjoy walks for those in the area or to a park if they need to get energy out, play with them outside, or play with them inside. I follow a routine for feeding and for any meds they might have to take, while also checking to make sure they have full and clean water daily. If I am cat sitting I will make sure to check and scoop the litter daily as well if needed.

About: I have been a dog mommy for over 25 years, and have taken care of the pets of friends and family forever. I’m especially partial to dogs, but cats are great too…once they deign to allow me to enter their kingdom 😁. I recently had to say goodbye to me soul mate dog, so I have a lot of love to give your fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them! I’m worked from home for 6 years, and I’m currently between roles. I have nothing but time to dedicate to loving on your darling pets. I am active for those who like to walk, and I enjoy my down time cuddles up on the couch with a book and a sweet sleepy dog or cat. Let’s keep your babies at home where they are comfortable! I can come to your home and feed, walk, and give them outside time. Or, if you prefer, I can stay at your home with them while you’re gone. I’m a rule follower, so your house rules will be strictly adhered to, no question! If your pup is high energy and needs lots of walks, let’s go - I’m on a fitness journey myself! If they are in charge and have a designated spot on the couch, I’ll cozy up wherever they “tell” me I can. I just miss my doggo, and I think this is the best way for me to start to heal from that loss. Let me lavish love on yours!

About: I started working with animals in 2017 at Metro East Humane Society. I have been working with animals ever since! It is my passion in life. I love pet sitting for clients and allowing them to have a wonderful time away knowing their animals are in the care of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them! I have a flexible time schedule! I work part time at a restaurant (usually pm shifts) so my days are typically always free & available. I can do early morning and late night drop ins as well! I have extensive experience with the following: -giving medication (including injections) -fearful/feral -resource guarding -dog aggression -reactivity -stranger danger -separations -food aggression I take pride in the fact that I have a lot of experience dealing with animals that have behaviors that other sitters might not have experience dealing with. I am confident in my ability to take just about every case on. The safety and wellbeing of your pet is my absolute number one priority.

Grayson came through for us at the last minute for an unexpected pet sitting need while we were on vacation. He did a fantastic job with Biscuit who is 20 years old with multiple health issues and was very patient with us getting home much later than expected. We got frequent updates and photos which was great. Fantastic sitter!

About: I currently work as the main shelter attendant in the cat room at a local animal shelter and provide pet sitting services on the side. My work schedule is quite flexible, which allows me plenty of time to care for your pets and accommodate your needs. In high school, I served as President of the Animal Rescue Club for two years, where I organized volunteer projects and fundraisers to support local shelters. Since then, I’ve continued to build my experience in animal care, working both at a pet kennel resort and now at an animal shelter. I’ve been petsitting for about nine years, starting with family and friends and gradually growing through word of mouth referrals from clients. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for all types of animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, bunnies, reptiles, and even horses. I’m also comfortable administering medication, even to tiny pets like hamsters! At home, I have 5 cats (two with disabilities) and regularly foster kittens, so animals are truly a big part of my everyday life. You can trust that your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I’m committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to meet each pet’s unique needs. My schedule is very open and flexible, and I’m always happy to adjust as needed! Those who know me personally would tell you that I’m great at working around even the busiest schedules. I’ll always make sure to set aside the perfect amount of time to care for your pets, ensuring they’re happy, well taken care of, and ready for a nice nap by the time I leave! I have experience with all animals and dogs of all breeds and sizes! So you can trust that I am a good fit and am able to handle your pet(s) no matter what size or breed they are!
