Pet Sitting in Lake Como

About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was 8 years old, watching my neighbors pets when they were away. My college degree in Animal Science taught me the background information needed to care for medically complex animals, such as dogs with diabetes or cats with FeLV or FIV. I have experience administering injections, giving pills, wound care, and other medical treatment. If you’re looking for an experienced pet sitter to care for your beloved friend, look no further! I work remotely and can spend as much time with your pet as you need. On the weekends I have even more flexibility! Any time you need someone to take care of your pet, I’ll be available. I take safety very seriously and take precautions to ensure the safety of your pet and my own safety. When I first meet your pet, I introduce myself very slowly and pay close attention to body language. When pet sitting in someone else’s home, I always double check locks while entering the home and leaving to ensure that no strangers can enter and no pets can get out.

“Kristin was so kind and helped us out last minute with a walk for our senior dog while we were out at a concert! Kristin was super communicative and came just when she said she would. Thank you so much, Kristin! Would definitely ask her again.”

About: I am an animal lover and long time dog owner. I am currently living in an apartment which does not allow pets. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your fur baby behind while traveling or for a long day at work or play. I would like to provide for you the peace of mind required to relax and know your pet is under the very best care. My work schedule is very flexible. I am available most days, evenings and overnighters if need be. My weekends are also open for scheduling purposes. I am unable to care for pets at my apartment but I am more than happy to care for your pets in their own environment in your home. Your pet will remain comfortable and confident in your absence because they will continue to have their comforts of home.

“Thank you so much Anahi!”

“Joe is the best!”

“John and Kathy were so great with our cat, Coco. Plenty of communication and pictures while we were away, I would definitely recommend them for future bookings!”

“Kristin is great. All 3 dogs took to her straight away. She did everything we asked on her visits and we felt like our doggies were in great hands.”

Tom C.

“Erin was great with our kitty! She was super sweet and caring to him while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing she was coming to care for him. Definitely recommend!?”

“Lee Ann gave her best however our dogs are used to family handling them 24x7 and so they were highly uncooperative. She made progress however they are very tough customers. Need to add another appointment to allow familiarization and trust building. She is confident that she will be able to take care of them but I am nervous based on their behavior and stubbornness- typical chows.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life. I help out friends and family with their dogs and cats. Animals hold a close place in my heart. I have a golden retriever named Stella and she is my pride and joy. Because of my passion for animals, I've decided to pursue my dream career. My experience with dogs is that I go above and beyond. While caring for your pet, I am with the pet most of the time unless I need to run a quick errand. I would provide comfort and full attention to the animal. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I provide detailed care and unconditional love. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible with me. When I first meet them, I make sure I am calm and in a space that they are farmiliar with. I provide daily updates, photographs and videos to provide piece of mind while you are away.

“We so appreciate Jessica! She really put us at ease while we’ve been away and took such great care of our cat!! We look forward to having her watch our cat in the future!”

Rebecca S.

“Elizabeth did such a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs while we were gone! Everything was as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left and she obviously took great care to make she each dog got the right medication. Loved the pictures she sent! And we appreciate the time she spent playing with the dogs. Would definitely book again!”

About: Been taking care of pets in the Spring Lake area for 5 years. I enjoy taking them for long walks and getting them the exercise they need. Currently available most days. I grew up with a golden retriever and have always enjoyed taking care off other peoples dogs. First with friends and family, then on other dog walking apps. I'm conscientious and respectful. I truly enjoy the dogs and like getting our for fresh air. If I am sitting at your house, I will make sure everything is clean and tidy.

“JoAnn was amazing! Teddy had the best time ever with her. I felt nothing but comfortable from the moment we met her. She was the absolute perfect fit !!! Can't recommend her enough!!”

About: I am easy going with any requests! I have been a reliable dog sitter and walker since middle school. I can't wait to spoil your dog with walks, cuddles, belly rubs and endless attention. I am flexible with my schedule so always ask. Your dog will feel like they are on vacation when with me and you can see endless photos and videos! I’m currently returning from a trip and focused on your dog! I have a flexible schedule to spoil your pup. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am familiar with crate training. Different types of leashes. Pets are always welcomed on the furniture for extra cuddles and love. If you request no treats, eating around each other etc. I'm all ears to your dog’s needs and comfort! I have experience with anti-social, scared of thunder and other loud noises, poor walking skills, and so much more!!

About: I am an approved veterinary assistant by NAVTA (National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America). Throughout the past year I have learned about all different types of animals and their behaviors through both didactic learning and hands on rotating clinical experience. My rotations include animal husbandry, surgery, oncology, physical therapy, recovery, radiology, ultrasound, and so much more. I am an aspiring veterinarian and currently an undergrad majoring in biology. I am currently working part time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pups! Either long or short walks I am willing to help out in any way I can. Your trust in me is my number one priority! I know how much love and care you have for your pets and I feel the same way. I respect and understand how much these animals mean to a family which is why my dream is to help them.

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 own a wedding photography business that allows me to work from home 90% of my year. If I am booked 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 can be anywhere from a 1-hour session to a full 10-hour wedding). 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.

“Hope was wonderful, dogs took to her right away, first time using Rover very happy, thank you Hope, will be using her again.”

“I would highly recommend Anne!! Our dog, Beau, is weary of new people and can be quite standoffish, and Anne was great with him. She worked with us to make sure he was comfortable before she came for a solo visit, and now he looks forward to seeing her every week!”

“Sheryl was amazing with our girls. They love her. She arrived 2 times each day as planned and took care of our girls as if they were her own. I would definitely recommend her and we will use her again when needed.”
