“Taylor was very responsive and easy to get a hold of. He communicated well and took good care of our cat. Appreciated the extra time he spent with our cat and the photos he sent. We would definitely reach out to Taylor in the future for Cat Sitting!”
“Josi is incredibly caring and attentive with my kitty! She’s wonderfully responsible and proactive in anticipating her needs and communicating with me throughout the stay. The cherry on top is she also takes great pictures!”
“Marina did a wonderful job watching our very sweet senior cat who requires both specialized food and insulin shots over a long 10 day trip. She was great at communicating and was extremely consistent and punctual with her visits and updates. She overall made us feel very comfortable while we were very far away. We would highly recommend Marina and can’t wait to book with her again.”
“Leslie has been an absolute lifesaver taking care of my 3 kitties, even on last minute notice when my flight has been cancelled and I’ve been stuck 4 states away. Leslie is always willing to help out even on short notice whenever she can, and takes great care my kitties and always makes sure to keep me updated on everything. It’s a huge relief knowing I can always count on her! You and your fur babies will be in great hands :)”
“Katy took very good care of my kitty while I was gone. She gave me detailed updates with each visit which I really appreciate. I will definitely be asking her back next time I am out of town. Thank you Katy!”
“Ellen was very communicative and sent us great pics and updates! It was great to know that our cat was eating and using the litter box regularly, and getting lots of pets and play time. We were so happy to have her taking care of our cat while we were out of town.”
About: I have a 10 year old dalmatian so I'm well versed in unique personalities + high energy along with stubborn tempers. I have a 9 year old husky shepard that I rescued so I'm familiar with anxiety and fearful tendencies like whining/crying etc. I treat my dogs like real children, they have manners such as sitting before eating & being told when it's ok to go to their bowls, they don't beg for food and they know to stay out of certain rooms. I grew up with 5+ dogs in a home so we were all taught how to have boundaries, patience, and respect to function without chaos. Pets are so special and I'll love yours as my own and treat them with the same mutual respect & loving care. You are safe with me. I am a private practice therapist with my own schedule so ask about my availability. During the weekday afternoons I see clients from 10-5:30. I'm pretty flexible to do walks/drops ins. Friday-Sunday works great for house sitting by I can be flexible so just ask :) Home living room is free range for pets, bedrooms are off limits to avoid shedding & boundaries. My dog's sleep on our couches and snuggle on the recliners. We have white noise and cartoons for them. We have a large soccer field in the back of the apartment for play time. I recommend and prefer ecollars for safety especially those that beep or vibrate. The clients home rules are what I'll follow as we all parent differently and I respect those boundaries however I expect manners & I do not care to watch pets that do not listen, beg/steal food, jump/bite. I am happy to correct/train this behavior.
About: Due to working at different times of the day (realtor-life). I have a flexible schedule and available. 10+ years experience with pets (friends and my own). I’m currently working in real estate, I work from home most of the time and have a flexible schedule. Taking care of your dog/cat in between meetings and calls would be the best part of my day. I provide a safe and loving environment for your furry friend(s). My home boasts a dedicated dog washing station and secure fenced yard for playtime (I live at an apartment complex). Walks are always on-leash for their safety, and for feline companions, I offer in-home visits to ensure they're well cared for while you're away.
About: Having had dogs and cats most of my life, I have had to tend to them when they aren't feeling well, provided medications as directed, and even had to assist older dogs who just need some extra help during their day to day life. Making sure your dog is safe and comfortable in their own home is what's best for them. I start off my day with a cup of coffee and feeding breakfast to my dog. Then I go to work and return after noon to let my dog out and give him an afternoon or evening walk. On weekends, I take my pup for adventures in the park, a walk on Pete's Hill, and some snuggle time. Life is better with pets! I feel it's best to maintain your pet's normal routine, so if that means daily walks, normal feeding and play times, then that's what I do. I always like to know the rules of the house when it comes to your pet, and if a pet owner has a flyer outlining their pet's likes and dislikes, Vet contact, and any medical concerns or needs, this is always helpful just in case of emergencies.
About: As you can see in my photos, I have a GSP. She needs all the exercise and mental stimulation there is. I have plenty experience tiring out a happy dog :) I’m happy to do walks, play in your fenced yard, have fun at a nearby dog park, or go for a swim. If you’re comfortable with my dog joining, great! If not, totally fine too. However, for overnights I will need to bring my dog with me. I am currently available Monday through Friday, all day! I’m there for ya morning, afternoon, and evening. I’m happy to help any way I can. I know what it is like to want the best care for our pets so I’m committed to providing a safe comfortable space and presence for your bestie. I’m a very empathetic individual so I’ll care for your pet like it’s my own :)
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. Especially puppies. My parents and I raised puppies since I was about 12 years old!! I loved it and ever since then, it’s been my dream to take care of animals! I have a full time job from Monday-Friday 8-5pm so the best time for me to look after your pets is weekends. I can stay with them after work during the weekdays though (overnight). I am very reliable and loving and I will take care of your animals and make sure they are happy! I will accommodate any needs they may have!
“Katie went above and beyond caring for our cat while we were away. I really felt at peace knowing she was caring out 10 year old cat. She was timely for her drop-ins, gave the best updates on how he was doing, followed instructions for his feeding schedule, and shared pics as well. The cherry on top was how clean and tidy she left our home!! She even took out the trash and swept up kitty litter off the floor. Our cat is happy and healthy after being in Katie’s care for 5 days! I definitely recommend Katie and plan to use her services again for the future.”
