Thank you once again for taking care of our animals. It has been such a comfort knowing you will be there for them. Pictures are great and animals happy when we return.

They did a great job keeping the place clean and taking care of my two cats. I got daily pictures/videos and could tell they did well bonding with the boys too. Will definitely reach out again for help! Thanks so much!

About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay for my dream wedding! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, 2 cats, a crab, and even a jumping spider, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!

Ciara has been watching our Mako, a 8 week old yellow lab and we could not recommend her and her daughter more highly. She asks us permission to do anything with our puppy before she does it if we haven’t already mentioned it to her. She is always on time and early for the drop in visits. She not only plays,feeds,walks and takes him to the bathroom but also taught him how to lay down! She goes above and beyond on each visit. We could not be more happy and recommend her any higher to anyone. She is also extremely flexible and understanding with our changing schedule and does anything she can to meet our needs.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs over the years and have worked at PetSmart as a pets hotel associate. I have two dogs (10 and 3 years old). I’ve also owned four cats and babysat family and friends pets before! I am home all day so I am fully available to provide care to pets.

Courtney is amazing!!! Sierra did really well with Courtney during her visits. She responded quickly to our requests, kept us informed throughout the visits, worked with Sierra's training during her walk, and made sure she was fed. We're grateful she accepted the booking with short notice during our family Xmas visit. Really recommend her if you're looking for an expert sitter.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life so those are what I’m most comfortable with, however I have a lot of experience with dogs as well. Many of my family members have dogs that I’ve taken care of when they go away on trips. I’ve cared for senior dogs for friends in the past and have a special place in my heart for them. Particularly, I have experience caring for senior dogs who are blind and deaf who need special accomodations. I currently work from home 3 days a week so I have plenty of opportunities to take care of your pets within my current schedule. I’m not able to care for your pets in my home, however I’m able to come over as much as necessary to care for your pets.

Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!

Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!

Caitlin was great! Professional and responsive. We had a little snafu with the automatic wet feeders the first day- but everything else was perfect. She got great photos of my guys while I was away too-so they were very comfortable with her- which was so nice. i will definitely look for her next time I need drop ins!
