“Ashley was wonderful! She watched our Luna for our wedding weekend and made sure to send photos. She was wonderful at communicating, will definitely be using her again!”
“Lee was fantastic. We had an issue on our end with our electronic locks. Lee worked around the issue and our handyman to make sure our pets were taken care of. Above and beyond. I'd certainly reccomend her and she is our first option next trip.”
“My very shy cat opened up to her very quickly. She leaves very thorough updates and takes a lot of nice pictures. She always makes sure we are on the same page with care, etc.”
“Pam was fantastic! She gave me daily updates and photos of my babies. She is very sweet and took great care of my kitties. I would definitely recommend her to look after your fur babies.”
“Once again, Dana provided excellent cat-sitting service for me while I was away on a vacation. I am able to rest assured that she will take care of them on drop in visits, especially now that I have a disabled cat that needs some extra attention. I highly appreciate her efforts, keeping in contact with me on top of regular reports, and caring for my cats like they were her own! Highly recommend!”
“Courtney was awesome. I have 3 cats that are all very different. They eat in different places, need different foods, etc. She was awesome with all of them! Would book again in a heart beat!”
“Amanda was a fantastic cat sitter! We had her do drop-ins twice a day for 5 days while we were away. She met with us and our cats beforehand to learn their routines and the information she needed to know. During the visits she was on time, reliable, and great with the cats. She was able to administer medicine properly and really took the time to give them the love and affection they needed. We could not recommend Amanda more!”
About: I've been helping take care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, when my family got my childhood dog, Roxie. Since then I've ben helping neighbors, friends and of course my family take care of their pets. Mostly dogs but also some cats. We raised out current dog Freya as a puppy, and while frustrating and difficult, it was also very fun and rewarding. I'm very pleased to see how far she's come from the tiny little ball of energized razor teeth that she was! I am a Geologist with lots of regional travel involved. When I am not traveling I am often working from home, so I work and simultaneously take care of my dog, Freya. For sitting/boarding/walking services I would be confined to weekends only with few exceptions. Requests for non weekends are welcomed though, I may be able to help if I am in town! I have a fenced in yard with a pool. I understand the pool may be a worry, so I wouldn't let your pet outside unless I am with him/her. Upon request, I can take your pet outside on a leash. We have one dog and two cats in our house. All are friendly towards other animals, but if you'd like more information about any of our pets please let me know!
“We were new to the area and needed a new sitter for our three cats when we were out of town. Kristin was amazing!!! It was so comforting to know that our cats were in such good hands. We received daily photos and updates and the cats seemed genuinely comfortable with her since the first visit. We’re already rebooking.”
“Kimberly was amazing! Her communication was great, she sent pictures of every walk along with a map of where they went, and overall she took wonderful care of our dog Fitz. We are so glad to have found her! :)”
“Julianne was very friendly and SUPER patient with our extremely anxious dog, Charlie. Scheduling went smoothly, Julianne was flexible and worked with us despite our last minute booking! Julianne was very comfortable with Charlie - who can lack manners when first meeting her (a work in progress for us) which can be difficult for many given she is a relatively larger breed. She sent cute pictures and kept us updated on how everything was going. We are grateful!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. My range of experience goes from new born puppies and up. I have been dog sitting for my neighbor and some family friends for about 2 years now. I work 2 overnights a week at my job Sunday night and Tuesday night but would still be able to help out at night before going in and in the morning after I get out. I can make any accommodations for any of your animals needs whether that’s needing to only go out on a leash or following specific training plans.
About: I started longer-term overnight dog sitting about three years ago. I do frequent daytime potty breaks for friends when they are out of town. I have watched cats as well. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years and I enjoy both cat and dog snuggles. Not currently working much, schedule is flexible which is ideal for your puppies that may need potty breaks while you are at work during the day or away on weekends. Unfortunately, I will only go to the clients home. I will not bring other animals into my house. I do own a cat and this is something my husband and I have agreed on.
“Alex is always so wonderful with my cat and definitely gives me peace of mind if I need to be away for a few days. He is communicative and very flexible! I always appreciate his help.”
“Melissa has been a real lifesaver for me many, many times. She's great with both my pets (a rambunctious cat and anxious dog) and can often come over on short notice. She is a great communicator and definitely will take great care of your animals! Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was excellent. This was my first time hiring her services to watch my cats while I was away. She reported in every day and ensured she gave my cats attention during the visits. She was prompt on visits every day, and I felt good about being away with her stopping by to make sure they're taken care of. Highly recommend her services!”
