Carissa was awesome during a 3 day house sit! she was so patient with our little guys and they love her!! She sent tons of pics/videos and updates and was really communicative with us. She was also really flexible when we let her know beforehand that one of our doggies had just started limping right before we left. It was an extra cute/sweet touch that she left a little drawing of the doggies. Highly recommend!!

It's always hard to leave the old boy, but Marie was outstanding and kept Bentley safe and warm as well as providing a constant presence. Marie is a neat and conscientious house guest and I would not hesitate to ask her back again.

About: I have fostered animals (mostly cats) for two years and have cats of my own. I have experience caring for cats and dogs from 10 weeks to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals at a time. I have experience in giving dogs and cats medication. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, coordination of care, waste management, and pet enrichment. I grew up with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hermit crabs, 3 fish, and 1 guinea pig (thankfully not all at the same time!). I also have experience in working with farm animals (horses, chickens, ducks) and rode horses for a few years. I’m currently a full time special education teacher and I’m available in the afternoon/evening and on weekends. After June, my schedule will be more flexible and I will have additional availability during the summer months. I have 3 cats of my own (Boo, Sam, & Taylor) and 1 step-cat, Cleo (she does not live with me). I love working with animals and look forward to caring for yours! I currently work full-time as a teacher and will be more available during the summer starting late June to late August. However, I will be available afternoons and on weekends. Pet safety is extremely important to me. Since I’ll be caring for animals in your home, I’ll collaborate on any safety concerns on the property or in general. I’m able to easily crate dogs and I always walk dogs on leash. I ensure that all exits and entrances are properly closed so that pets don’t get out. I also don’t allow cats outside. I will also coordinate with you on if there are any local environmental concerns (nearby construction, a door in you home that sticks,

About: I was a dog owner and I am an animal lover. I have previous experienced with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pet. I am employed full time during the week, but always free night on the weekends. I look forward to meeting your pets! Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services. I work full time during the week with a flexible schedule. Available for dog walks and pet sittings after 5pm during the week and anytime on weekends. Dog boarding availability as well, just reach out with any questions. My house has a large yard, but I like to use the leash to teach pets where they should stay at all times. There’s a park nearby, which my 6 yr old likes to ride his bike to.

Sophie stayed with our 10 y/o lab, and took great care of him. I always worry about leaving him when we are on vacation, and it always puts my mind more at ease knowing he is getting taken care of in the comforts of his own home. Sophie kept us posted and sent us pictures to provide updates on our boy. Very thankful for the care she provided!

Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.

From the moment Julia came for the meet-and-greet with Pickles, our one year old rescue who has some anxiety issues with strangers, she gave us a complete sense confidence. She even had a form to get all the information that she would need to know how best to take care of P. When we were away for five days, Julia obviously created a great, easy relationship with our dog and kept her on a routine that we had established (as she has been with us for fewer than three months). Julia sent regular photos and videos of her and updates on how she was doing. I cannot recommend her enough. When we arrived home, Julia had done the bedding(laundry) and she was packed up. The house was immaculate. Thank. You for her loving care. We will be repeats.

What can I say. My wife & I trusted Katherine with our home and our beloved wiener dog Wilson for 15 days while we traveled. She contacted us daily with pictures and updates, took great care of both Wilson and our home. She provided excellent care for our dog, she even took him to get his nails trimmed because we forgot before we left. She’s a wonderful woman with great knowledge of her profession. We have all ready rebooked her for another trip later this year! Katherine will provide you with what you really need while you are away, Peace of mind. I’ve never been more comfortable with anyone taking care of our home and pet the I was with Katherine.

I cannot recommend Kait enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog and so loving, attentive, and caring. From start to finish, her communication was clear and consistent, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and happy. It was obvious my dog felt cared for and loved. If I ever need another dog or house sitter, Kait will be the first person I call.

Susan was the best pet sitter we could have asked for. She spent 4 nights here and fed our 3 cats (1 is my mom's who hides from the world) and took amazing care of them. Our house was so neat and clean despite having to deal with 3 litter boxes...she is a warm, loving, low key and thoughtful person and is beyond trustworthy. She sent pics of our kitties for the ultimate peace of mind. She's wonderful!!!

Desirae was such a great find! We struggled to find a sitter available for our Ginny for Labor Day weekend but we were so glad to find Desirae. She was prompt and responsive and flexible with her time. Ginny loved her stay with her over the holiday weekend, especially all the snuggles! We would recommend her highly and plan to work with her again. Thanks Desirae!
