“Jaylee did a great job of caring for my two kitties. She communicated well so I always knew what was going on each day, both morning & evening. The daily photos I received reassured me and some even made me laugh. I highly recommend Jayleen.”
“Angela was absolutely amazing. After having a bad experience with a previous sitter that resulted in the loss of one of our boys, Angela truly made us feel at ease. She was in constant communication and truly treated them as if they were her own. Our one dog has health conditions that has resulted in lack of bladder control and Angela didn't hesitate to clean up after him going above and beyond she even cleaned up the rager that our Houdini through when he escaped his kennel during the night. We are so thrilled to have found Angela and will continue to use her in the future.”
“Tracey was so kind to help out with my stray kitty boy over the holidays!! She kept me updated with pictures and videos which really eased my mind. My boy seemed so content with her right away that I knew I had nothing to worry about. Tracey definitely has a connection with animals and seems to be an animal whisperer… I would highly recommend her!”
About: Grew up in the country taking in any critter that needed my help and unconditional love. Nothing I wouldn’t do for them. Fully supplied and ready :)) I’m home always , I prefer animals over people. I’m super soft hearted and devoted to any that need me. They’ll always have a trusted devoted friend in me. I live out in the country with plenty of land to roam, two loving sweet dogs to keep yours company and to play with. I’m home always and they have my undivided attention.
“Kelsi is such an outstanding pet sitter. She went above and beyond for my cat, Julien. She gave me thorough updates including how much he ate, his bathroom habits, and his behavior. He behaves differently when I’m away so it was great to hear that he was happy and doing well. It was it easier for me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of by Kelsi. She even kept plants alive and watered through a heat wave. I will definitely be requesting her services the next time I need a pet sitter.”
About: I'm super attentive and love keeping pets entertained with games and cuddles! I've also got experience with basic training for puppies and giving extra TLC to senior pets. I usually schedule my day around pet care, making sure there's plenty of time for walks, playtime, and feeding. I also keep some flexibility for unexpected needs or extra cuddles! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and comfy. I will stick to their routine for feeding and walks, and I'm all about giving them lots of love and attention until you are able to come home and be with your babies.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals since I was a child for my family and neighbors. My first pet sitting job was watching a cat and a rabbit for my neighbor. As an adult I’ve also had to care for injured dogs and cats. I love animals and want to enrich their lives within my abilities. On a daily basis I take Maggie out several times a day for walks and play sessions in our dog park. Combining my high energy with my love of animals and the outdoors made dog walking a natural choice for a new opportunity for me. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I am attentive, playful, accommodating, loving, and so much more. If you have a specific exercise or feeding schedule or ANY specifics that you want me to adhere to I am very detail oriented and happy to oblige.
About: Animals have been my love since a young age. Most of my career and volunteer work have been revolving around animals of different species. I've worked for several years in this field group to learn and understand animals along with their different needs. I know how to read body language and what signs to look for if sick. I've worked at a pet store for a few years and a shelter, I as well have some experience at vet clinics. I also have experience with professional dog bathing. I myself have an assortment of different animals I take care of daily; ranging from cats, dogs, reptiles, and small animals. My goal is to help and educate pet parents when I can while making sure they're animals get the best care. Safety will always be my first priority every time. The well-being of your pet is very important to me. Knowledge about your pet, medicine and/or behavior wise, is a great way for me to stay alert on those certain concerns. Your pet will always be taken care of properly and made sure to stay in a safe happy environment.

About: Pet care experience that I have obtained through the years -Humane society work over 2 years (cats + dogs) -Doggy daycare work over 5 years (dogs all ages) - Babysitting for 2 families which had 2 dogs each for 5 years was used for vacations when their out of town or sporting events. I currently am a full time employee I work your typical 9-5. I have 2 little kiddos they will have sports during the week. The days I have free are weekends every weekend is available for me to utilize to take care of someone’s beloved best friend they hate to leave at home alone. When I care for pets I walk into the home and call their name so they know I am there. I get them out of their crate or room wherever they are take them outside immediately when I get there. And if they have toys I play for half an hour or so. Take them out again before I would leave. But sometimes I sit with them in the house because some pets like company and they like someone being there with them.But if there are specific needs I will accommodate anyone with requests on how they need me to take care of their dog.
About: I've had several different animals since I was little. I am an animal lover. I have experience with different animals. From a sugar glider to cats to dogs. **House sitting is 8 hour days Boarding is overnights Just for some clarification. I do not board in my own home. Please choose the correct service. If you need during the day and overnight please choose boarding** I am lucky enough to do Rover full time, got laid off due to my company getting axed unexpectedly. So I want to show love to your babies when you're going out of town or just on a date night! I do not board in my own home. I am happy to stay in your home and treat it with the upmost respect, while you are away. If that be while you are at work or away on a vacation, you can trust me with your fur babies. I do require a meet and greet before taking on a new client for my safety and theirs. *I have the right to refuse any client or animal for any reason* *I prefer to board in your home so the babies are more comfortable, especially if they are anxious. It will help keep them more comfortable so we aren't taking them out of their home and their humans leaving them all at the same time so I welcome that option as well*
