“We really appreciated having Jeanette watch our cat while we were away. It was so nice having the peace of mind that he would be well cared for and we loved the pictures and updates she sent. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter who is great with animals.”
“Athena took great care of our pets and we’re looking forward to having her back soon! Our pet care needs are not the easiest, with a tree frog, a tortoise, and a cat who requires daily medication. Athena took plenty of time with us and made lots of notes before our trip to make sure she knew what each of them needed. She was very communicative throughout, gave our attention loving cat lots of it, and sent many great pictures. Our cat, who usually lets us know (loudly and often) how upset he is that we’ve been away, was totally mellow when we got back home. We are very, very happy with how well she cared for all three of them!”
“Jill took great care of my two cats! She sent photos and updates every day and my girls seemed very comfortable with her. I would definitely ask her to babysit again if I need to leave town!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was little. I have helped family and friends take care of their pets when they are out of town. I am a stay at home mom so this gives me plenty of time to care for your pets when you are out of town. To ensure your pet is safe and will not escape and well taken care of I would make sure fence gates and or house doors are shut and locked
“Christina did a great job with my cats. She was responsible, on time, and got cute pictures of them, even though they hide a lot. I hired her during a stressful time, and she was compassionate and friendly to me and my family.”
About: Since I could open my eyes, there has been a dog in front of them. Growing up, my family bred and raised AKC yellow labs. I also worked for a horse/dog breeder, helping take care and market Aussie puppies. I also have experience with senior dogs. My senior lab lost all function in his hind end towards the end of his life and I was his primary care giver. Senior care was the hardest and most fulfilling job I’ve had. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and I have been working in a clinic setting for almost a year now. I am taking a break from the clinic to focus on school and enjoy my summer. Send your furry friends my way!❤️🐾 I’m doing some other little side jobs but I am free otherwise. I have school that I need to attend to daily. I was working at a veterinary clinic but I am now taking a break to focus on school and enjoy the summer. I am also offering nail trims for an extra charge ;) I have two dogs at my house that are not friendly to other dogs. This means that I will be strictly keeping dogs at owners houses, streets, towns, etc. and there will be no chance of interaction between my dogs and any other dogs ☺️
“Shelly is AMAZING! Truly one of the BEST! We are so lucky we found her to care for our dogs. She was so kind, patient, and very understanding of each of our dogs personalities. We look forward to having her care for our dogs in the future!”
About: All animals are welcome. Medical experience with animals and will follow directions to the letter. Have worked and cared for a large variety and size of animals my entire life. Consistency is key. Animals love routine and waking up, being fed and walking all at certain times. So much so they expect it. I'm here to make sure they get it. Safety is following the instructions set for you by the people who know the animal. I realize each animal is different and requires different handling in any given scenario.
About: I have a pretty flexible schedule, and have experience with all sorts of animals and as long as you teach me I'm fine with pets who need meds, or have special diets. I have 2 dogs at home, and 1 cat and i have experience with other animals too. I am licensed so transportation isn't an issue. I'm just trying to earn a little extra cash while going to school, and I love animals so being able to spend time with pets makes me happy. I am 23 years old. I do school online and work from home, so schedule is pretty flexible! Only times I’m gone is for about a 3 hour period student teaching. I try to treat them as my own, I’m a big animal lover so I’ll do everything in my capacity to make sure your pet is loved and comfortable while your away.
