Very nice, communicative. My cat needs oral medication twice daily and she managed that. Only complaint is the litter box wasn’t cleaned once a day like I mentioned. Otherwise, no problems and would definitely rebook with Emily.

Stephanie did an amazing job caring for my dogs and cats while I was away. The pictures and updates were frequent and she really had a great connection with them. I would rebook Stephanie again!

Such a kind and friendly sitter! My Pyrenees scares people off quickly, but David understood her breed and was able to make rapport with her quickly! I feel so happy knowing my pup will have someone kind and caring attending to her while I am out of town 🥳

About: I have cared for a wide array of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, insects and amphibians! I have owned many pets over my lifetime, and feel confident in caring for elderly animals and administering medication. I have volunteered at my local vet clinic on multiple occasions, so handling animals prone to stress is also something that I am familiar with Currently I attend community college part time on Mondays, Wednesdays and the weekend. Every other day I will be completely free, and will make it my priority to give your pets all of the time and attention that they deserve! One of my greatest goals, second only to the welfare of your animals, is to ensure that client privacy and boundaries are respected at all times. I will ensure to follow instructions given about the home to the letter.

My'chaela was booked last minute to care for our 15 yo cat, and did a wonderful job, stopping by twice a day to feed & medicate. We booked her again in a few weeks. We have found a good,reliable pet sitter and are looking forward to having My'Chaela provide that care

About: I own a husky mix and have for three years. I regularly bath, brush and walk him. I’m very patient with animals. I enjoy being around dogs because they’re super smart and definitely steal your heart. Dogs are more than a mans best friend, they’re family. As I begin in the dog care world I would like to be full time and help families by providing care for their furry babies. It’s nice to be able to take a vacation or a trip and know that your dog is being well taken care of, allowing you to enjoy time with friends and family. I will frequently send pictures and updates so you can see how everything is going and and feel included. I have self-taught myself how to trim and file dogs nails and how to brush excess fur, to prevent matted and tangled coats. I also enjoy bathing them. I know pet care can add up and be expensive so I’m willing to negotiate rates depending on the distance I have to drive and the number of services your needing. Feel free to ask any questions because I’m here to help you!

Kerri did a great job with my two cats while I was gone for a week for work. She’s stopped by once a day to feed them and make sure they had water. She scooped their boxes too which is a blessing if you’ve ever had cats and been gone too long. I got pictures every day which helped put me at ease that they were being well cared for.

I don’t think my dog wants to come home. She’s been spoiled and loved all day. I guess I won’t feel so bad for leaving her from now on. 😅. Zuri was kind, prompt, asked good questions, sent lots of pictures, and loved our girl so well. Could not recommend her any higher.

Wendy was great! She watched our dog and cat over the weekend. Our dog is older and has a difficult personality, but felt very at ease with Wendy checking in. She's very professional, friendly, and provided helpful updates. I will definitely use her again.

About: I would love to take your dog for a walk when you can’t, feed it when you’re out of town and even stay with it if it has anxiety while you’re out of town on a business trip or on vacation. I work during the day so I would love to take care of your dog before and or after depending on what is requested. I work 11 - 7 Friday through Tuesday. I like to go on walks during my free time and a companion would make it that much more fun and enjoyable! I am saving up to travel the world and getting the chance to look after you dog one way or another would benefit me in more ways than you know. Thank you for taking the time to consider me a viable sitter. Have a great day! I work a 9-5 M-F with weekends pretty free. That means I can watch you pet and not miss any feeding times or walks! I can also stay at your place if you’re comfortable with that to make your animals life a little better while you’re away. I am comfortable with quick visits to feed your dogs, take them on walks and even cuddle them to make them feel safer. I can give them treats and play fetch to gain their trust!

I couldn't be more pleased with the care Stephanie and Spencer provided for our four kitties. Not even flooding and atmospheric rivers kept them from their scheduled visits. And the pics they took helped dissipate the anxiety of being away from our furry family. And returning to our home just as we left it was a wonderful finish to our vacation. I'd hire their services again in a heart beat and without reservation. I can't thank them enough!
