Pet Sitting in Idalou

“Gaby made leaving Mac at home so much easier! She communicated with me after every visit and kept an eye on him when he wasn’t eating much at the beginning. He warmed up to her quickly, though and I really think he was much more comfortable at home with snuggles and care from Gaby so I was able to relax and enjoy my trip! I’ll definitely reach out next time!”

“Kyle was great! I have an anxious dog who usually isn't great with strangers, but the drop-in photos he sent me of her looked like she was comfortable and excited to see him!”

“My dogs absolutely loved her! She was caring and loving with them. It really helped us relax knowing she was there checking in on our fur babies. I highly recommend her to anyone needing check ins on their pets!”

“Xan was amazing !!! My cat is extremely shy with new people but warmed up to her so quickly. That’s always a good sign. She updated me on everything and sent multiple pictures. I felt very relaxed leaving my cat in her care. If I need to rebook, I will definitely rebook with her!!”

“Ellie did a fantastic job watching 2 adult cats and 9 kittens! She was able to get pics of our elusive Parker!! And gave medicine to one kitten as well! Would definitely recommend her and we will be using her again!!”

“Jordyn was amazing!! She took great care of our pup sent updates and pictures! She made me feel so comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely be using her again!!”

“Tash was great with our 2 dogs, worked with us at last minute to schedule drop in visits, and communicated quickly. She kept dogs company and lessened anxiety over a stormy weekend while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend!”

“Kkay is a very responsible and lover of all pets. She is on the road to becoming a vet. She spends her time at the animal shelter taking care of all animals. She had taken in fosters and has pets of her own. She will treat you pet as her own and take really great care of your pet.”

“Great job of playing with and taking care of my loving furry friend.”

“Taylor has been great for drop in visits with our puppy! Attends to all of her needs, takes her for a walk, keeps us updated at needed, and makes sure we have a happy pup. Will definitely use Taylor again in the future and refer her to others!”

About: I grew up with large to very large dogs, including labs, akitas, pit bulls, and great danes! I have been informally watching my friends and co-workers pups for several years and this year I rescued a german shepherd mix who is now 10 months old and exploding with energy. We love our puzzle feeders, walks, and visits to the dog park. I also have a chunky and temperamental cat, so I'm used to managing multiple big personalities with pets and feeding separately if needed. I have watched dogs with dietary needs and administered oral medication and medication for skin conditions. Since I grew up on a small farm, I'm also experienced with taking care of chickens and have some experience with horses! I'm a graduate student and my schedule is flexible right now. I work from home and at coffee shops for 70% of the work week so my schedule is fairly flexible. I have time to stop in and check on your pets in the morning, middle of the day, and evening. If I have enough notice, I can generally make time for most drop-ins. Because I have pets with strict feeding scheduling, I understand how important it is to have someone check in pets on time. I am watchful of our surroundings and avoid walking close to other dogs when I am not sure of their temperament. For my dog, she wears a harness whenever we go out and I never let her off leash unless we are in a secured, fenced in area. I also supervise my dog when she is outside in fenced in areas to make sure she does not get out somehow. My dog is crated at night and when no one is home. When she is crated, I usually take her bones away and give her a chew toy so she does not accidentally choke on a bone. She also has allergies to specific ingredients in foods, so I am mindful of the ingredients in the treats and food she eats. For cats, I always make sure doors are closed and places are secure so they cannot get out. Since my cat gets sick when she is extra stressed, I'd be happy to take a broad look through the house to make sure they did not get sick. If you provide me with cleaning supplies, I'm happy to clean up accidents! If I notice a pet is having tummy issues or any health issues, I will contact you immediately with details about what is going on!

“Couldn’t recommend Abbie enough when watching our fur babies! We view our dogs and cat as our own kids and we’re so glad she does the same. She asks all the right questions and follows our instructions to make sure our pets don’t feel like they’re getting left out while we are gone. You can easily see her love for dogs and cats and I so appreciate her and her love for all animals!”

“McKenzee is great with my puppy. She has been on time every day. And if anything pops up she let me know. Great communication. I’ve had a great experience with her. I highly recommend her for any of your dog City needs.”

“I have known Holden and his family for most of his life. He has grown up with dogs and they love him. I would have no hesitation in leaving my fur baby in his care.”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. Learning about and handling animals is a passion of mine. I have been a dog trainer for 4 years and have experience working for a dog boarding facility. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and evenings. I will make sure that your fur babies stay to their schedule that you provide for them day to day. I have experience with administering medication and with senior pets. I also have experience with animals who have behavioral issues and will be able to handle difficult or reactive animals.

“Sindy took a good care of our German Shepherd dog while we were out for 3 day. She walked her, played with her and feed her. In additions she took care of our 2 cats who also required food and toilet cleanup. We're happy and recommend Sindy, she's responsible.”

“Both cats are very happy and healthy ?.”

“Shyanne is always so sweet to our pups and flexible with all of our crazy requests. We had to cancel last minute, and she was great💖 we love her.”

“Absolutely amazing!! Can’t say enough nice things about her ☺️”

“She will treat your pet like her child. Honestly, she’d rather be surrounded with dogs than people. She always makes sure her dogs are sleeping on beds with pillows and blankets for the sweet little babies!”
