About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and have years of experience caring for pets of my own as well as those of friends, family, and neighbors. I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters and zoos. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I enjoy caring for animals and will treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a fairly flexible schedule and am currently working part-time, so I can easily accommodate the needs of you and your pets throughout the work week or over the weekend. I strive to provide a safe, calm, and reliable experience for every pet. I'll carefully follow your care instructions, keep your home secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away.

“Always on time, dealt with minor issues without hesitation!”

About: I love meeting and hanging out with pets. I’ve always wanted a dog growing up but never got one. However, my sister has now gotten her own pup, and I’m the happiest aunt! Would be a lovely break during the day! Also, I prefer notice in advance, but sometimes my calendar has gaps and could possibly accept day of :) I can check their water and food. I can open/close shades, doors, etc. If they watch TV, I can make sure it’s playing or change it, etc. They can get play time!

“Sarah is absolute pleasure to work with as she do her job with total dedication and integrity. She has passion for taking care of animals/cats which shows in her care.”

About: I have had a special connection with animals my whole life! My family would call me "the animal whisperer" because of how much I love and connect with creatures. I grew up with many different kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, turtles, snails, and frogs. I love to get to know the neighborhood cats and dogs and frequently pet sit for my neighbors in the area and would absolutely love to expand my creature friend circle. It would truly be an honor to get to know and take care of your furry friend. I am currently job searching and am not in school so I have a lot of pet sitting time to offer. Spending quality time with your pet will be my top priority. My home isn't available for pet sitting due to me having two cats who would not enjoy the company of other creatures! I am happy to come to your home to take care of your pet(s). I can do overnights if needed as well.

“I needed help giving allergy shots to my wiggly dog and am not able to do them myself. Luckily I found Christian through this site! His experience was priceless! He was responsive, kind, helpful, and took time to show me how I can make shot giving with my dog the best possible experience. He was quick and my dog liked him after and tried following him out the door! That never happened at the vet or when others helped! Very accommodating. I can’t thank him enough for his help!”

About: Since the age of 10 I have been taking care of three cats in total at my parents house! This includes cleaning out the litter box, feeding, and playing/engaging with them all while in a loving and caring environment. Additionally, I have catsat for my neighbors adorable kitty for weeks at a time. My daily visits to her house consisted of me cleaning the litter box and feeding and playing with the kitty. Although my experience with dogs is more limited, I have a true affinity for any and all animals and I feel, along with my work ethic and adeptness, these many years of taking care of cats will translate over to the dog world! I am a full time college student with pockets of free time during most days of the week, primarily in the late afternoon and evening time, and on the weekends throughout the day. I care for pets in a clients home by providing a loving and caring environment for the animal, as well as matching the energy of the pet so their needs care be met. This could include playing with the pet or going on walks when their energy levels are high, or relaxing and enjoying each others company by just chilling on the couch. Additionally, when the animal signals that they need to relieve themselves I am quick to pick up on this and will provide the animal the opportunity to do this, cleaning up after them when they are finished.

“Dakota did a great job with our cats and communicated well. It was reassuring to see the daily pictures, too. Will definitely use Dakota again in the future!”

About: I’m a certified animal lover with a fur baby of my own (Henry, 9lb of quiet sweetness) that I’ve been caring for over 10 years. I’m an MFA candidate at the Writers’ Workshop, which allows me to study from home most of the week. If I am busy on a specific day during your booking, I will let you know ahead of time so you can approve or deny the amount of hours I will be gone for that day (which usually ranges from 1-3h workshops). I have experience as a dog owner, but have also spent many of my years dog and cat sitting for my friends and family. I raised and trained my parents puppy, a Bichon Frise Shih Tzu mix who needed lots of care to control his barking and playful nature, now 6 years old and so loving. I’m experience with a range of ages and needs, including puppies and elder animals with special care needs. I love dogs, as you can tell, and have all the time in the world to watch and play with them! I prefer dogs and cats have been handled and are used to being cared for, with no history of lashing out or biting. Whether you need me to cuddle, feed, brush, walk, or play with your pup, I'm your gal. Note: while I take a combo of meds for my dander allergy and have a high tolerance, I ask that any animals/homes with animals with high shedding be appropriately groomed and cleaned before sitting. If I stay in your home, a vacuuming or light cleaning does wonders. If your fur baby is boarded in my home, a bath or deshedding session beforehand is much appreciated. I work from home, so pet care can be a day round activity for me. If I am sitting in your home or doing check ins, I can stay or come by as frequently as needed, given availability based on any events or sessions I have previously booked. I will always communicate with pet parents about the needs for their specific fur baby. I understand all needs are unique, so aside from common sense (walks, feedings, playing), I’ll make sure to tailor their care as needed.
