“Vanessa went above and beyond for us and our kitties 🐱 We initially had a mishap with our smart lock (an issue on our end) and she went out of her way to help us problem solve and make sure our boys were taken care of. She gives in depth updates and pictures each visit and follows any directions to a t. You can be sure with Vanessa your fur babies will be taken care of and loved on 😊”
About: I grew up with pets my entire life, I have experience with training, and I have experience with all kinds of animals (small, big, old, medical care, you name it) I am currently a high-school student and athlete, but my weekends and overnights are free to spend caring for your pets. If you work with me I can be available in the week as well during my class breaks and free time. More availability In the summer time. I have experience with training, and I am very assertive if needed. Whatever instructions or special care your pets need, I can accommodate for and care for them.
“We loved Ada. She was responsive, communicative, and managed to bond with our sometimes shy cat within a few days. We will definitely be working with her again.”
About: I’ve cared for critters including opossums, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, pigs, chickens & more! I have such a deep love for animals, which makes caring for them never feel like a job. Pets left in my care are in the best care possible. I am currently working part time, which makes it very easy to care for animals at the same time. My longest shifts are 8 hour days on Sundays & I usually have 3 whole days off per week. I typically do whatever makes the pet and the owner most comfortable, such as regular drop-in’s, overnight stays at the pets home, sleeping next to the pet. I keep up with any typical needs of the pet such as bathing, walking, etc. and I also like to keep the owner updated and send photos.
“Kaylee was very accommodating and flexible. She gave great updates and took excellent care of our furbabies! Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend that you do the same!”
About: I’ve always had pets of most kinds since I was young. If you’re not a pet person your not my kind of person. Lol I I do work a 7:30-3:30 M-F job as an elementary teacher, but my own children are grown and on their own and I have spare time in the evenings and weekends and thought this would be fun. I also have summers free. I have 2 dogs of my own. They are “cat and dog friendly.” We often visit the local dog park and my dogs are very social.
About: I've grown up around lots of animals. I also have my own pet now, the cutest of dogs. I look forward to meeting your pets. I currently work part time and I plan to be doing college full time this fall. I'll be as flexible as I possibly can be. I'll take your pet for walks or provide whatever care of it that you would like. Walks, feeding, playtime, or anything else it may need.
About: I got into pet care at 14, whenever I started training my childhood dog. I later adopted two of my own, Elio and Montgomery. I trained both of them to do service dogs tasks, such as panic attack alerting and retrieving items for me. Montgomery needed oral medication administration the first couple of months that I had him, so I do have experience with administering oral medication. Montgomery is a senior dog, I was responsible for making sure he was comfortable and taken care of when he started to have hip problems. I had two cats growing up, and was responsible for taking care of both of them. I love both cats and dogs, and are very eager to work with them! I feed both dogs once in the morning, and once at night. I am not currently working, so I have an open schedule and can give my pets and yours the attention they need. I have a fenced yard for my pup to play in, he gets fed every morning and night. For his dinner, his food is put inside of a mind stimulating toy. He gets two 30 minute walks a day, in the morning and evening.
“Adam was great! I highly recommend! He did drop in visits for our dog and cat and he gave our dog walks too. everything we asked he did perfectly. The dog definitely loved him. We felt very safe leaving our babies with him. We will absolutely use their services again!”
About: We specialize in medium to extra large dogs here on the farm. From puppies to hospice aged canines, we have the experience and welcome all breeds. Our farm specializes in retirement horses, so we take pet care responsibilities seriously. We are home most of the day, but do have on-call local transport appointments that may take us away from the house for a few hours. We have a fully fenced 9 acre farm. We go for romps with the dogs in the pastures not being used by the horses. Dogs are family to us, yet they are dogs.
“Shallise is such a great animal sitter. She swung by for a check in since we had plans after work and couldn’t make it home. She played with the dog, let him outside, fed him dinner and loved on the kitty. She’s a great communicator and even brought in a package that was delivered on the doorstep. We trust her with our animals and house even though we’ve only actually met her once. Thank you, Shallise!”
“Roman came by and picked up Jack for some "guy time" while we had a special event at our house. He kept Jack from 10 am until around 4 pm. Jack got to practice his good-boy behavior out and about with Roman. We really appreciated having this option while we focused on our event. Jack had a great day and so did we. Thanks, Roman!”
About: I work as a veterinary technician and have 6+ years of pet sitting under my belt. I also have a private mobile nail trimming business that I run part time on the side, I have a pretty large client base with many references from that. I am comfortable working with pets of all shapes and sizes, and don’t have a problem working with pets that may have behavioral concerns. I can administer medications and even care for pets with serious medical needs. I am currently working full time at a veterinary hospital but I have 3 days off per week for all day service and can make home stops in the AM before work and PM after work. Unfortunately at this time I do not offer services in my own home - I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and one of my dogs is elderly and extremely grouchy so bringing in outside pets is not an option for our household. I am no longer offering overnights unless it’s a single overnight. My typical client hires me to stop in 2-3 times daily to feed, walk, medicate, and play with their pets! I also offer dog walking services and mobile nail trimming/basic grooming!
