Samantha was the greatest. She gave my cat space while also making sure that she can leave her sent with him. She gave great ideas to help me because this is my first time having a cat sitter. She is so receptive and she gives great advice. She connected with my cat wonderfully, and I truly appreciate what she had done with feeding him and connecting with him. I will use her again. She is definitely my go to and I would highly recommend her.

About: I have worked in a doggy daycare that required us to not only manage the dogs but also teach them how to properly socialize with other dogs! This sparked my love for dog training and once I got my dog Turtle my journey to becoming a dog trainer began! My mission is to help you and your dog’s life be more fulfilling together in any way I can. Whether that be teaching you guys how to communicate better, being there while you’re working to support them, or taking them out on adventures I will do my best to make it worthwhile! I can’t wait to meet you but specifically your pup! 🙏🐶❤️ I work two part-time jobs with one of them being a dog trainer. This means plenty of time and skills that I can use to not only be there for your dog but also help them learn! When it comes to your pets care you tell me what is best. You know your dog better than I ever will, which means you know their discomforts. My job is to care for them to the best of my ability and I fully intend to do so by avoiding any extra stress!

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working as a veterinary assistant along with my genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall well-being. I have experience helping with feeding routines, exercise, medications, basic grooming, and providing calm, patient care for both energetic pets and older animals who may need extra attention. I understand how important consistency and trust are for pets, so I work hard to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m also very dependable, organized, and communicative. I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have a pretty busy schedule balancing college, workouts/practices, and everything else going on. Since I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant before, taking care of animals has become second nature to me. I usually build pet care into my mornings and evenings with feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning up, and just making sure they’re getting attention and affection throughout the day. During the week, I also make time for things like washing bedding or toys, restocking supplies, and keeping up with overall health and wellness. Even when life gets hectic with school, stunt, lifting, or work, I see pet care as something that helps me slow down a little and brings comfort and consistency to my routine. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In my home and in a client’s home, I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure the environment stays clean and stress-free for them. Because I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, I pay close attention to animal behavior and health, including monitoring for changes in mood, appetite, or energy levels. I am comfortable helping with basic grooming, administering some medications if needed, and following any specific instructions the owner provides. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect the home by keeping everything tidy, following routines carefully, and sending updates or photos so owners feel reassured while they are away.

About: I have developed a strong set of skills when it comes to providing care to animals. With a deep love and understanding of their needs, I am dedicated to ensuring their well-being. My ability to administer medications to animals, whether it's a dog, cat, or any other pet, is a testament to my commitment to their health. Additionally, I take pride in my capability to care for both senior dogs, offering them the attention and support they require as they age, and energetic puppies, providing them with the playful and nurturing environment they need. Overall, my diverse range of skills makes me a reliable and compassionate caregiver for all animals. My schedule for working with animals is quite flexible and pet-friendly! I'm free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows me ample time to dedicate to our furry friends. On weekends, I'm available before 11 in the morning and after 6 in the evening, ensuring that I can accommodate a wide range of pet-related activities. Mondays and Wednesdays are also open for animal adventures, with my schedule freeing up after 2 in the afternoon. This flexibility allows me to be there for our beloved pets whenever they need care, attention, or a playmate. I'm well-versed in various types of leashes and collars, making me a confident and responsible pet caregiver. Whether it's a standard leash, a harness, or a gentle leader, I know how to use them safely and effectively to ensure a comfortable and secure experience for the animals. I'm also well-acquainted with the rules of crate training, which is a valuable tool for both discipline and safety. Additionally, I pay close attention to any extra special care instructions for the animals, such as dietary restrictions, medication schedules, or specific grooming needs. This knowledge and attention to detail ensure that I can provide the best care possible for our beloved pets, meeting their individual needs with care and expertise.

Nicole was amazing! She eased any worries we had and also updated us with pictures and videos while we were gone. She was very much in touch with any updates. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need someone to care for our pup and we’re so glad that we booked Nicole in the first place!

About: I have been around dogs since I was born! I have two of my own fur children, whom both required a lot of attention and are very spoiled! They are also extremely well mannered and I have only self-trained them with patience and proper motivation. I have pet sat for friends and family several times informally, and found it to be so fun! I myself am a very detail oriented person, loves loving on animals, and understands how comforting it is to have the right person looking after your baby! I own my own business so my hours are flexible and can be arranged as needed! I already am caring for my own pets throughout each day! My dogs are both leashed when going out to potty in our yard. I also work on patience, obedience commands, and recall with them so that they have little daily disciplines. Both of my dogs are very treat oriented so it makes keeping them up to snuff with their manners easy! They also get regularly walked through our neighborhood, have an abundance of toys, and a very consistent meal time for breakfast and dinner!

Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!

An excellent sitter who really cared about our cats and took great care to make sure they were happy and healthy. One of our cats has challenging health needs and it was clear that she really cared about this and tried to accommodate that. She also followed our instructions, kept us updated on what was going on with our cats with lots and lots of photos (which was super helpful) and even collected some packages that got delivered while we were away. I think if you want someone who is very detail-oriented and cares about your pet, she is definitely someone I would recommend.
