Pat and Bee were fantastic!!! They were very professional and communicative during the entire time me and my family were away and they were caring for our fur babies. Always on time and took photos to share with us. I definitely intend to use them again for all future family trips and highly suggest any looking for some to lovingly and properly care for their pets while away Pat and Bee would be my first choice.

Our second longer trip within the last couple months. Knowing that Mariah was taking care of our animal family was a great relief. We know they’re all well looked after, getting attention and subject to her keen eye for things that might be astray. Constantly doing all she can to help. Thanks and we can look to travel more with no concerns for our pets well being.

About: I am experienced in all types of pets from rabbits and snakes to large dogs and cows. From exotic to every day I've cared for a wide variety. I am currently work a nine to five weekdays so my schedule is open for afternoons and evenings week days and I am available any time weekends. I have experience in crate training, potty training, and leash training my own dogs and am very compassionate for dogs that might need extra care and attention.

I am so grateful for Ela! My cat loves when she comes to visit, play with him, and spend time together. She intentionally built a relationship with him on the first visit and it shows, and he is a very discerning cat who won’t open up to just anyone! I appreciate Ela’s updates and pictures. She is great with feeding and cleaning the box too. It gives me so much peace of mind to know he is well cared for while I am away.

Allison did a great job caring for my cat, Babe. The day I was to leave town babe had to go to a special vet appointment where she got prescribed liquid medication. Allison handled administering that medication to her for part of the week with great care and did a great job doing it. She was very thorough in communicating with me and sending me pictures of Babe enjoying her visits. She was great.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as walking and helping care for my neighbors’ dogs. Through this, I’ve learned how to safely walk dogs, follow feeding routines, give lots of attention, and recognize when a dog may need a break or extra care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and understand how important patience and consistency are for pets. I’m available after school on weekdays and I have more flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and always communicate clearly about scheduling and updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re always in a safe, calm environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and respect owners’ routines, rules, and preferences.

I’m deeply grateful to Tania for taking such loving care of my cat, Pipi. Tania followed every instruction with care and attention, and her daily updates—filled with sweet photos—brought me so much comfort while I was away. She was also always responsive, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I wholeheartedly recommend her for her services!

About: I’ve had 2 dogs over the course of my life time (so far). My first dog was a Mini (ish) schnauzer and my second a white boxer. Both are family dogs and great siblings! I have some background in senior care because of my schnauzer who eventually became blind and as he got older had a harder time when it came to walks. I’ve also worked with super energetic dogs like my boxer who just have A LOT of personality. As far as dogs, I would say I’m a very resilient and versatile sitter. I’m currently working part time AND in school, looking to find some other side hustles that can help me in that journey. I can always make myself available throughout the day. I also am super excited to be working with different breeds of dogs. I’m a person that likes to do things down to a tee. So structure and scheduling are very important to me. For my own pets. I have a fenced in backyard and do have experience crate training and have no issue doing so. I try to make sure my boxer stays active, as he his an active breed! I want to make sure I’m walking and caring for dogs based on their needs and capabilities.

About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.

About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.

About: My name is Alishia. I am 31 years old and have my own vehicle. I have about 17 years worth of different experience with different types of animals both professional and personal. I have spent the last 10 years working in the pet industry. I have gained so much knowledge during this time and couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity. I have my certification in Animal Psychology, Pet First aid and CPR and also am a PACCC (PROFESSIONAL ANIMAL CARE CERTIFICATION COUNCIL) Certified Professional Animal Care Manager. My passion is working with animals, teaching them new things and providing proper mental and physical stimulation. I have volunteered at different rescues resulting in me working with all species of animal including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, hamsters, birds, ferrets etc. My daily schedule alternates around the animals I am caring for on a daily bases. Depending on what I have for that day depends on the schedule. Our time together is spent working on mental and physical stimulation for age appropriate animals. If I'm working with an older animal then it will be more about keeping them comfortable and giving them all the love vs physical stimulation.

Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!

The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!

Serena was amazing. She stopped by 3 times a day to take care of my 2 dogs and 3 cats. I even had one dog that needed to take some medication while we were gone and she had no problem doing that. She sent pictures of the animals every day and kept me updated about everything. We were worried about leaving the dogs alone for so long but I'm so happy we had Serena there to take care of them and love them.
