About: I have 5 years of professional experience in vet med and pet sitting. I have skills for dogs and cats that are at any stage in life, from neonatal all the way to geriatric, I can help you :) I’m switching over to full time pet sitting while I go through school! I’m here for you and your pets as much as you need. *** I prefer not to do any stay-in-home sittings , I have 1 solid rate for each day that includes 3-4 drop ins a day *** I’ll be diligent in following any and all instructions given to me for your furry friends. I do my best to very wary of anything your pet may get into and will always clean up after them. I also think it’s important to have great communication with updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing!
“Annie is the best pet sitter! She stayed with our two dogs for five nights, and they loved her. We now call one of them Velcro, as he wouldn't leave her side and always wanted to cuddle! She sent updates and pictures several times each day, which we really appreciated! Can't wait to have her pet sit again!”
“Jill is the sweetest person ever. She came over before our trip to meet the dogs and spend some time with them. She was on time to the house and was very communicative throughout the trip and let us know beforehand when she wouldn't be free. She sent very cute photos and that is always an awesome sign! We drove back home super late and when we got home it looked like no one had even lived there, that girl is so clean! It was really appreciated. Will definitely be using Jill for all our dog needs! Thank you for working with us!”
