About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes and temperaments for over 6 years. Having two of my own rescue fur babies and helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that pets respond well to. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own—whether that’s administering medication, going on long walks, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I am currently in the process of credentialing for a full-time healthcare job, so I am available at whatever day and times work best for others! I am unable to have dogs at my home, but am happy and willing to follow any instructions you provide me for taking care of your fur baby in their home and environment! I have a car which I can transport them to fun adventures or we can hang out at your house/neighborhood. My 2.5 year old fur baby is also dog-friendly if you’d like your pet to have a dog play companion.
“Yvonne is a very good pet sitter. While I was away for a weekend I just needed drop in visits for my cat. Yvonne followed all instructions for feeding and other care for my cat. During my time away I had peace of mind knowing that my cat was being cared for. I loved how Yvonne updated me throughout her drop in visits which included pictures of my pet. I will certainly be a return client for Yvonne she is an excellent pet sitter!”
“She was so amazing with my puppy and I could tell he was so comfortable in her care. She sent lots of picture updates and came very last minute to save me! We will definitely be using her again.”
About: Hello! I’m Erin, a full-time high school teacher and pet-sitter on the side. I’m an animal lover and I have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have a ton of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds and cats, as well as a few smaller animals (rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish). I’m calm, caring, and patient, with a soft spot for senior animals. I’ve had a great deal of experience caring for my own senior pets (both dogs and cats). I’ve provided care for animals with diapers, medication, and mild mobility issues. I’m also experienced in caring for diabetic cats and administering insulin, as I’ve helped two of my rescues go into remission. I strive to provide the best care possible for pets, and peace of mind for their owners! Please be aware that starting August 25th, I will be at work from 7:35 am-3:05 pm. I’m currently a full time as a high school teacher, so from 7:35-3:05 on week days, I’m usually at work. If I am pet sitting during the week, I head straight to the pets at the end of the work day. On weekends, I am able to dedicate most, if not all, of the day to spending time with your pets. This is also the case over the summer. I provide pet care in client’s homes, per the directions provided by the clients. Prior to caring for your pet(s), I ask that we arrange a time for me to meet your pet(s) and go over all pertinent information regarding their care and safety.
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our kittens! Our family so loved all of the photos and updates each day--we appreciate all that you did to take care of the girls. Will definitely be in touch again for future stays!”
About: With 17 years of hands-on experience caring for my own six cats and three dogs, I’ve learned how to handle all kinds of personalities—shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. Whether it’s giving meds, sticking to feeding routines, or just spending quality time playing and snuggling, I treat every pet like family. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring, capable hands with me. I’m open 24/7 and if not I’m able to make arrangements, I’m just working hard to save up for college! I will always find time to get some animal cuddles I have friendly furry friends that are more than happy to meet your pets! We do have an open yard but will never leave your pet unattended
