This is the third time Savannah has watched Reggie. He recently had IVDD surgery which called for him to have a bit of extra care. Her experience in animal behavior and working at a vets office really gives her an edge for assisting him. I know I can always put my full trust in Savannah with Reggie’s care.

About: I’ve had experience with all types of animals from guinea pigs to horses! Being around animals has always been a must for me and continues to be a reason why I love life! I’m currently working part time while also juggling part time in school for nursing!! I’m pretty free throughout the week, and would love to make some summer money for school!! I make sure my cat has a strict schedule for feeding and even she knows it haha! My aunt is a vet and has taught me everything I need to know when taking care of animals!

Sean is an excellent pet sitter. Our dog, Bear, is having health challenges and Sean was excellent at administering insulin shots and eye drops. He goes the extra mile to make sure both humans and Dogs have what they need to be comfortable. Sean has stayed in our house numerous times and he is always so neat. House is returned to us exactly as we left it. Without a doubt, Sean is our go to Pet sitter.

About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.

About: As a college student-athlete, I’m dependable, active, and flexible with my schedule. I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely enjoy caring for pets, keeping them active, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away I am a part time tennis pro at Five Seasons Sports Country Club as well as a student at Thomas More University. I have my summer schedule and I have lots of availability during the week to take care of families best friends. I currently live in an apartment and don’t have the availability to keep others pets in my residence. However, I will travel to many different areas making sure pets stay on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and attention, while also keeping the home clean, secure, and respected. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always provide updates and make sure owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

We are so thankful for Mari. We had a family emergency come up and not only did Mari agree to do a “meet and greet” the same day we reached out to her, she also was willing to stay an extra 12-13 hours at our home when we had to extend our trip longer than expected. She gave us updates during her stay and took our pup on long walks. Thank you so much, Mari.

Paige did an outstanding job with my pug. He was happy, healthy, and safe when I arrived home from my trip. The house was in a great shape, and Paige went above and beyond in taking care of the house. I will definitely be hiring her over and over again.
