We so appreciate Emily and her care of our cats and home. She was communicative and very flexible when we had to adjust dates last minute. Will be requesting Emily’s services again in the near future!

Stephanie was responsive to messages, timely and our dogs loved her. One of my dogs is a little timid when meeting strangers and takes time to warm up to people but she loved Stephanie right away.

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.

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 🥳

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

I cannot say enough great things about Stephanie! She has been doing check-ins for our two dogs, Dave and Waffles, and we I'm so grateful to have found her. From the start, Stephanie has been incredibly communicative and quick to respond — which as a pet parent means everything. She consistently sends photos and updates that genuinely put our minds at ease while we are away. You can see just how happy Dave and Waffles are in every single picture, and that says it all. She is trustworthy, reliable, and it is clear she truly cares about the dogs in her care. Our pups absolutely adore her and I would not hesitate to book with her again. If you are looking for someone who will treat your fur babies like her own, look no further than Stephanie — she is the best!

My dogs just love Molly, and it was so nice to be able to be out of town and not worry about them. Molly took very good care of them and sent me updates with photos while she was with them. In the past, the dog sitter would not leave them out quite long enough, and we would almost always come home to some kind of mess. Will definitely reach out to her again.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. From our own family’s dog, to our neighbors dog and family friends as well. They have relied on me to stay at their house while on trips to make sure there baby’s are well looked after and loved. I also have just had to walk there dogs on a nice long walk while there owners are at work for the day. I have two pups of my own that love to meet new friends. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I have most of my day free due to online school and morning football practices. I am also available to stay overnight and take care of your pups I care for pets in my own home by going on long walks and with my own dogs we go on runs. He’s a Siberian Husky so he loves to get out there and run! I can accommodate to any circumstances the client might ask for.

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!

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.

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!
