“Jamie left pictures when she came in. It gave me piece of mind to know they were okay and someone was spending time with them and not just feeding them. She even tried to find where the wild mother cat hid her kittens. Thanks Jamie!”
“Emily was great at communicating. She sent photos everyday. Our cats seemed much happier and relaxed when we got home versus the stress they experienced at a kennel in the past I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again”
“Harper didn't warm up to her, but that's because of him not Ashton. He's only ever warned up to one other person. She was very respectful of his space and comfort level and sent pics from every visit. Highly recommend and will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have taken care of several family and friends pets. I also have boarded pets at my home. I was also a Veterinary assistant/Technician for 2 years, so I have experience in animal care. I also am very comfortable giving your pet basic care such as Nail trims and bathing upon request. If you book for boarding for more than a week, I will automatically give your pet a bath and nails trimmed if it’s okay. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom and is available to board your pet in my home on weekdays or weekends. I can also do drop ins and dog walking after 2pm. I have a large fenced in backyard and a great area to take your pet on walks. I also have a pet store very close by just in care your pet needs anything or simply wants to go on a walk.
About: I've had a dog ever since I was born and have been interested in animals since I was little. I started volunteering at the spca 5 years ago and fostered cats with my best friend. I will walk, feed, and play with your pets and have fun doing it. I work at Binder Park Zoo full time and go to church on Sundays. I am happy to help if that is not a problem! I can walk, feed, and play with pets. I can stay the night at the client's home if needed as well. I will treat your animals with much respect.
About: Dogs and cats and lizards, oh my! I’ve done it all. For the first 18 years of my life I’ve had experience walking dogs, house sitting, and raising my own pets. Then I began working at a summer camp where I was partially responsible for taking care of our reptile family - crested geckos, bearded dragons, and ball pythons and were just some of the cuties I got to take care of. Since then I have taken care and owned cats, dogs, and lizards of my own and on the side have house sat and loved many family and friends pets while they’re gone. I even have experience with some medical administration such as insulin shots to a feisty cat and pills to the dog I currently own. I can’t wait to get acquainted with your family member :) My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most any time a pet needs taken care of, including during the work day and weekends. I have three dogs, one cat and a crested gecko currently who are all very loved and spoiled by myself, my husband and our almost two year old. We’ve taught all the dogs recall, leash training and how to be gentle around young children. Our cat is an old man with feline herpes, one of our dogs needs daily oral medication and the juvenile gecko gets extra attention as he continues growing.
About: I care with love, patience, and presence. I’m experienced with both playful pups and senior pets, and I treat every animal like family. Reliable, calm, and faith-rooted. Your pet is safe with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my week when I’m not waitressing, serving in student ministry, or at church. I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time caring for animals with presence, love, and joy. 🐾 I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines closely, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. I respect your home like it’s my own and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾
“Katie did drop in visits for for my kitty, Barts, and I couldn’t be happier! She stopped in twice a day (and just once on one day too) for feedings, litter checks and playtime and pets. Barts is usually not too sure about new people, but he took to Katie quickly; he even allowed her to apply medication to his lip. She sent pictures of Barts on each visit along with how he was eating and doing overall. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Katie again in the future. Thank you!! ☺️”
“As any good cat dad, I was nervous to leave my 16 year old Stara in the hands of a sitter for 6 days. During our meet-and-greet I knew I wasn't going to be as home sick while I was on vacation! Jill is VERY good at communicating and I could tell she really loves all animals. Her professionalism and attention to detail make her easily my first choice next time I need a sitter!”
“Lydia was great! She really bonded with my cat (Buddy) over the week she was taking care of him and seemed to really care about how he was doing. She went above and beyond, sometimes staying beyond the time she was paid for to play with Buddy longer. She was also very good about sending regular updates, which super comforting since this was the first time I've left my cat to go on vacation and I was worried about how he would do.”
About: I grew up around pets. I am very active & can be energetic with your pet. I can play & run (if needed). I love to be around and to spend time with animals. I am very aware of how to take care of an animal. I can spend a good bit of time taking care of them as long as it fits into my schedule! I am flexible with my visits and can come multiple times a day if my schedule doesn’t conflict that day. I work full time, but I have flexibility with having to be in the office so I am able to work with most pet schedules. I also don’t work on the weekends and am usually in town. I can play with pets for hours or just be there to make sure they’re taken care of if they’re more of a shy and/or lazy breed.
About: I love animals! I will play with them, feed and water them, and take them for walks. I love to train animals like to sit and shake. I can give baths to them and wash them and I can also get rid of fleas for them. I'm available Tuesday-Thursday anytime unless I have an appointment. I only have a dog and a cat and they're both spayed and neutered, my dog is very playful and has been great around other dogs and my cat likes to sleep a lot so she won't be any bother to your animals. My animals are playful so if yours are, they would love to play. Your animals will have an amazing time with me and will be well watched! I currently work Friday-Monday 2pm-10pm. I love animals and walking them also puts some exercise in my routine when I just sit in at a desk all day lol I care for your pet just as much as I care for mine! I have an amazing cat named Nova. I make sure she, of course, has food,water, and litter. I play around with her all the time and I smother her with kisses every day. Every time I go to a house with pets, we both just instantly like each other and I play with them! I also have an Australian Shepherd named Ellie and she loves to play outside and go for walks
About: I had taken care of dogs of every kind since I was very young. I have relied on me to walked, feed and bathe their pets. I had also trained 2 dogs with some of the sign language as well to teach the animals to sit and stay with the sign language. My friends and family have relied on me to take their dogs to the dog park, the beach and go on the morning hike. Just really take care of their animals with the love, respect and support for those need my help for them to enjoy their time or a getaway! I'm currently working from home on my own flexible schedule! I do have a lot of time in between working virtually and I can do my job anywhere! So if I take the dogs to the park or go on a walk, I could work on my phone to reply my emails, messages etc. I do have the good balance of taking a break from work to spend the time with the animals to give them my attention and cuddles and go on a walks or adventures! First thing first is to care the animals with respect, love and comfort to be in my home or in your home. At my house: I do have a fully fenced back yard and front yard with my two lovely dogs that will give your animals peace of mind and protection. In my house are full of cozy energy, your animal will love this place to run around and enjoying every moment to be here. I have a few bowls of water around my house, they will be hydrated while your animals are here. I don't share human food to the animals. They will always be fed with their own dog/cat food. It is the open space in my house so the animals will be seen in my full view at all times. They will be protected while they're here. I do have a doggie hole as well! The dogs can go outside at anytime with the backyard wood fenced around. If your cats aren't outdoors, that's okay because I do leave a baby gate to block the doggie door hole so the animals doesn't get out and I will take the dogs outside to my front yard that are fenced as well. At night time, I do put all of my cats in my bedroom with me while the door are shut so the dogs can go outside on their own while I am asleep until the morning time, I would block the doggie door with the baby gate and let the cats out my room. If your cat isn't outdoor cat then he/she//they can be with me in my bedroom with all of my cats or they can sleep with my little sister in another cozy room with the cat litter & food/water/toys. I love to have the transparency communication with the owners as well! Lots of pictures will be shared to the owners as well! The owner with the animal will need to meet me and my animals just to be sure to see how they interact and to see how you feel about your animals for being in my lovely home. If I was at your house, I am that person that will follow your wishes and expectations of how you would want me to care for your animals. I do clean up after myself when I am at your house and to keep it tidy clean as you like it to be. I also like to step outside with the dogs/cats to keep my eyes on them or even just being outside with them and play with their toys to give them my joyful attention. I love to have the transparency communication with the owners as well. I will always ask the owner before assuming or trying things out. I love to meet the animals before starting the whole process to feel it out how the energy goes for us and for your animals too. If it flows great with you, I and your animals then there will be lots of pictures will be shared to you as well!

Jessica S.
“I'm biased as I know Jess very well, but since she was a small child, animals have adored her and she them. Jess has always been the first one in a room to move to pet and spend time with a new animal. I've seen her go into a goat enclosure at a zoo and have all of the goats standing or laying next to her within 5 minutes of her sitting and petting one. Animals sense that she loves animals and that she is there for their benefit. Jess would be a great sitter for your pets and fur babies. She wouldn't just be a sitter to ensure they were merely fed; she'd play and engage with them to keep them happier and more active than just staring at the wall. Jess' love for animals has grown into studying for her undergraduate degree in veterinary medicine at MSU to help care for them. She'd be a great choice to care for your furry family members.”
