“Taylor did drop-in visits for my cat for an extended period over the MSU winter break. She went above and beyond in helping, and was great when I needed to add a few extra days onto the booking.

About: I am attentive and exited to care for your pets! I love animals and have worked on my families ranch all my life. I enjoy going on long walks with any dog: excited puppies or slow-moving-seniors! I am a student, so my schedule is very irregular! When I am free, I want to fill my time with care work and fun! I walk a lot every day and have plenty of time to stop by and check in on your pet. My transportation is reliable so going out of town is not a problem.
About: I have always loved animals and love being around them. I have worked on a couple farms in the last couple of years and was a “dog nanny” for a few about half a year I’m currently going into my Junior year of college and part time employed. I am free majority of the time and if away from home can easily come back to check on pets/hang out with them! I take them out to go to the bathroom as much as they need and will walk the dog multiple times a day. Can keep any schedule any pet in my care.
“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.”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life and have taken care of friends and neighbor's dogs for as long as I can remember. I thoroughly enjoy dogs [and cats] and will show your pets the same amount of love I would show my own! I work a hybrid flexible schedule. I can be available when necessary and will happily schedule around pet sitting. I am almost always available from early morning through early evening. I have a quarter acre fenced yard and a silver lab that loves play dates! We live in a split level so we do have stairs going up or down. We takes lots of walks to the local park and dog park and throw the ball as often as we can!
“She did an outstanding job! My lab was super happy every time she came over to dog sit. She sent wonderful pictures, and updates twice a day! Would definitely use her again.”
About: I have grown up with multiple dogs at a time, all breeds, sizes and personalities. I also grew up with horses and overall I am an animal lover and here to help your furry friend. I work as a lab research assistant from 8:30am-5:00pm and can come before or after! This schedule will change August 20th when school starts again. I am more than willing to come to your home and walk and care for your pets in an environment they are familiar and comfortable in.
“Sam is always super helpful and willing to be flexible with our schedule. She is proactive and communicates well about visits. Not to mention our pup Sophie loves her. It’s so valuable to have someone you can rely on for your pup, highly recommend!”
“Julia was amazing taking care of my scaredy cat Evie! I will definitely book with her again!”
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.
