About: I've been helping care for animals for as long as I can remember! I have helped my family pet sit, volunteered at the animal shelter, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I am currently working as a freelance artist! Between gigs I have lots of flexible time to come take care of your pets. I am available for drop-ins/walks most days of the week, and I usually have some weekend availability! It's a priority of mine to establish trust with your animals! I am very keen on body language and other behavioral cues that allow me to meet your pets where they're at. If there are special instructions for an animal, I make sure to follow them to the letter.

Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.

Robin did a fantastic job checking-in and walking my dogs while I was out of town. She sent pictures of the pets while she was at the house and gave a summary of her visit once she left. I will definitely use her services in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable person to look after their pets.

Emmi was great! She has tons of experience caring for cats and was comfortable administering medications to our two older cats…who don’t always love taking their meds. We loved getting lots of cute pictures and detailed reports after every visit.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and my love for fur babies has only grown since then! I treat every pup like my own family; to me, every dog is important and deserves 100% of my attention.🐶🦴🐾 Only thing I have to do during the week is school im currently going back to school for a degree however, I will have a lot of free time on my hands for whenever im needed. I have a fenced yard, huge backyard for the pups to play in and have fun as well as toys and more my neighborhood is pretty secure and safe. As far as pups being in my home they will be treated as my own food water the essentials many belly rubs playing around and naps so much more. I currently have a very small pit bull he’s very friendly and he’s just a baby so he’s harmless.

About: I have great attention to detail and enjoy connecting with dogs. I am very likeable and friendly and enjoy getting to meet many types of dogs. Developing a trusting relationship with my clients is key. I've been house/dog sitting for a few years and I've learned to bond with the dogs and really make them feel comfortable while their people are away. I'm a huge dog person and love meeting and learning about the endless number of breeds. I have great references and I think the biggest benefit of working with me is having the peace of mind of knowing that your home and pets are both being well taken care of. I'm hard working and strive to offer the best services possible. You won't regret choosing me to look after your home and/or pet.

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

About: My family has had dogs since I was young. I also pet sit for friends and family while they are away on trips. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher so I am off during the summers. I do tutor but am happy to work with you to see what times will work best for us and your pets :) I am more than happy to play with your pets inside (and outside if able) your home, crate if necessary and take walks as needed.

Bayli did a wonderful job with my pups!! We had her come for several home visits a day to care for my senior dogs. She was fantastic about sending me great photos of them and giving them lots of love. I was nervous to leave them as one of my dogs has an illness that requires some special care. Bayli took such good care of her that I was able to be away from home without being constantly worried. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her services, I was very impressed!

Originally, we had booked Natalie for the Christmas weekend but had to cancel because of the weather. She was very understanding. Fast forward to last Thursday night, where I had completely forgotten that we were going to be out of town for the weekend, but thankfully she was available to come feed our 2 cats. She sent pictures with each visit, and they seemed to love playing with her, even our shy kitty! We will definitely book her again!

About: For the past ten years, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of canine and feline companions, from energetic puppies and kittens to serene senior dogs and cats. My approach is always rooted in patience and love, ensuring every animal feels comfortable and cared for. I have extensive experience in administering medications, a testament to my ability to handle sensitive situations with gentleness and precision. My dedication extends to understanding the unique needs of each animal, fostering a trusting and supportive environment for all. I’m currently working from home and have a lot of flexibility to provide pet sitting in my home , dog walking and drop in visits. I have a gated yard. I can crate your furry friend if needed. I always use a Lesh when walking. I will follow your pet schedules just the way you would at home. I will provide plenty of one on one play time. I am constantly sanatizing and cleaning my home to keep your fur baby safe

Rachel was great. Tootsie is very skittish but didn’t run from her. She did a great job cleaning and feeding. She also exercises patience with my alarm situation. Next time, I’ll book longer visits to give Tootsie time to get to know her.

Kiana took great care of my 5 cats while I was gone for 10 days. She sent me daily updates and photos of my cats. She took the time to play with them. She followed my feeding and cleaning instructions to the letter. My house looked exactly as it did when I left. I will no longer hesitate to go out of town now that I know I can reach out to Kiana.

Sammi is very attentive. She listened to and followed through with the tasks requested, even when I had a tendency to change a few ideas from time to time. I definitely felt a lot more comfortable going on my trip with her watching my cats. There are also many other positives I can point out such as her having excellent communication, keeping up with updates, having exceptional people skills (which is still needed when dealing with pets) and truly making an effort to take care of my cats and ensure they and I were comfortable. I appreciated this greatly.
