“Megan is always so patient with Norman, even with his stranger anxiety. She always goes the extra mile in making sure he's safe and happy. I feel lucky to have found Megan!”
“Paul took excellent care of my kitten Clover while we were away. Clover has a wild disposition, and so is choosy about who she likes, but Paul won her over. He took lots of pictures and took the time to make her comfortable. Thank you!”
“Lucy took wonderful care of our senior cat. She was reliable, communicative and gave the best updates. She had an obvious love for animals and we would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Outstanding person and sitter!! Helped us immeasurably when we could see on camera that our cat was not eating as usual. She is also so good at really getting what you are asking, even if there are details. We are so thankful.”
About: I will give your pets all the love and attention they need. I Currently don’t have any pets so yours will be my top priority. Currently a full time college student so I have pretty flexible hours. I can always check in on pets in between classes or in my free time. Willing to do whatever is necessary. If you have any specific requirements for your pets just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate them to the best of my ability.
“This is the 2nd time Jenna has watched my boy Reggie. She goes above and beyond to make sure his high energy demands are meant. Thank you Jenna for taking such good care of my buddy!”
“Sara was amazing with our kitties while we were out of town! She checked on them daily and was very reliable. She asked excellent questions prior to watching them and gave us great updates while we were gone! We would definitely book Sara again!!”
“Kristin has been great with our little guy, Jett. He likes her a lot. Kristin spends time with him in our backyard, and he adores it. She sends thorough updates about their time together, and she takes multiple photos of him. She has dropped in several times so far, and we have her scheduled on repeat. We will continue to work with Kristin in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I love animals and I don't have much experience but I will put them before me without a doubt. I am up for anything. Thank you! I am a full time student and I am on the golf team so managing practice time around the pet is important but very easy to work around. I go on daily walks with my new puppy. He’s a border collie mix. His name is Byrd and she is super sweet. Starting in may i will be living in a house with my roommate and puppy.
“Taylor was quick to reply to my request. It was on short notice. He was able to come meet Otto the next day. He arrived on time spent time meeting Otto and learning his routine. Taylor provided efficient care with updates for walking and feeding. I would definitely have Taylor again.”
About: I have lots of free time and am looking to spend it with pets! I love to be outside and would love to walk dogs everyday, or just hang out with them! I am currently unemployed, and have lots of free time so I can fit pets into my schedule at any time of the day! I am happy to provide assistance while you are at work or busy. I am comfortable with all pet care needs and will follow directions thoroughly. You can trust that indoor cats will stay indoor and outdoor dogs/cats will get plenty of play time!
“Nicolas was amazing with my dog Winston. He was able to accommodate a last-minute Fourth of July booking. Winston really loved the long walks that Nicholas did. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use Nicolas”
“Kaeli was very quick to respond upon my initial request to check in on our cat for a long weekend. She communicated very well to meet us prior to committing, and Kaeli was immediately a friendly, easy going and trustworthy sitter. She updated me with each visit and sent photos so we had peace of mind. I’m so happy to have found Kaeli and will absolutely be using her for future jobs!”
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: I’ve had a dog for almost all of my life and love every single breed, shape, size and color! I had 3 dogs at once all different ages, sizes and personalities. I’ve recently found myself in a position in life where I do not have a fur baby of my own, so I thought I’d give this a shot! One big perk: I work full time at a compound pharmacy where I make vet medications so I know the tricks of giving them and how important it is to give them accurately. I currently work full time Monday through Friday 9-5, but can adjust my schedule to earlier or later if need be. I also have the option of a one hour lunch break. My schedule is usually pretty open on the weekends. I have no problem with dogs free roaming or being in the crate. I love after work walks and play time to help keep them occupied and happy.
