“Abby did a fabulous job caring for my dog Mazie! She kept me updated and shared information in regard to how Mazie did. It allowed me to enjoy my vacation while also making me feel at ease knowing that Abby was taking great care of my dog throughout the day! Thank you Abby!”
“This was our second time booking with Kristen, and once again, she was amazing! She stepped in last minute, just a day before, and gave our dogs the same love and care as always. It’s such a relief knowing we can count on her, even on short notice. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. We’re so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Jill was amazing. Her communication prior to and during her visits were great. She flawlessly dealt with some unexpected issues with our puppy (an accident and several escapes from the pen😂) and even helped out with our cat who was supposed to be taken care of by a neighbor. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have had my own dogs, cats, chickens and hamsters over the years. From a young age I have loved helping my family feed, water, brush and bathe all of our pets. I've cared for dogs and cats from 6 weeks old all the way until it was time to say goodbye. Pets are important family members and it is such an honor to be trusted with their care. I love playing with cats and taking dogs for walks. Every animal deserves to feel loved until they're smiling from ear to ear! I am available most weekends so I can check in on your pets while you're having a blast on vacation! I'm also available most afternoons to take dogs on walks or check in on cats while you're away. I try to be as flexible and accommodating as possible. I am very gentle, yet firm with pets. I can be sure they stay within whatever boundaries you set and follow the normal training expectations you have for them. I don't mind crating dogs if requested. Picking up dog poop and cleaning litter boxes are no problem at all!
“Michelle is incredible with Elsie, my 14 year old pup. Elsie is losing her sight in addition to some cognitive issues from a stroke 2 years ago and needs someone who notices little things and Michelle is really great at making sure she's comfortable. I don't entrust my darling Elsie to many but definitely feel very comfortable that she's in caring hands with Michelle.”
“Great care for our cat and sent pictures everyday which was very welcome for us. Would recommend for your pets. It was home visits and everything went well and mail was taken in.”
“Madison was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Received daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. She took great care of our (very shy) cat, who even let her get close a few times! He’s never done that with anyone else who is new. She went out of her way to track him down during her visits, and I was confident our cat was well cared for. Would definitely love to have her pet sit again in the future!”
About: Having spent my lifetime on and around (elite genetics) dairy farms, I'm very comfortable and experienced with, and knowledgable of, animal care, comfortability, and psychology. I'm communicative, intuitive, detail-oriented, resourceful, and responsible, and will treat your pet with the same respect and care that I treat my own beloved pets. I own elite genetics dairy show cattle, and my family has always owned Blue Heeler Australian Cattle Dogs. I'm also a pet auntie to a pair of Pitmix sisters, a diva Mini Doodle, and a couple other cutie mixes (: I'm happy to adhere to your detailed instructions for how you prefer your pet(s) cared for, while walking and/or in your home. I will treat your pet(s) with the same respect and love that I'd want mine treated with. (:
About: I enjoy connecting with animals and creating a safe and secure environment for them. I look forward to inviting new dogs into our home and having our teenage daughter help care for them. Additionally our dog Raven is ready to have some playmates- she has a lot of energy but is gentle with small pups! We have a fenced yard with lots of space to run! I have been around dogs of all sizes since I was young and have taken care of family members’ and neighbors’ pets for years. I want to make sure that when we meet your dog he/she feels comfortable enough with Raven and us, so we will request a visit prior to your time away. Spending time outdoors is very important to me and I believe it is for kids and pets too! We look forward to opening our home and hearts to meeting you and your pup! My husband and I are home on the weekends so we will have plenty of time to spoil your pup! Also our daughter will be home to provide lots of TLC! We typically get home from work on weekdays around 4pm. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep in our room with Raven. We will give them lots of attention, daily walks and playtime.
“Sammie is so good with our dog. He loves her! She takes time to play and talk to him, pets him and cuddles with him. She makes sure he eats and has water. She gives a good report after her visits.”
About: I have had 3 dogs for our family. Each one was an absolute blessing and learning experience. We loved our dogs so passionately and genuinely! I’m currently retired, I just lost my golden in May. I have so much love to give to all animals. Dogs especially, are blessings, and give so much to us! I have a lovely home with a large yard. I have always kept my dogs on a leash until they are trained to stay within our property. Our golden retriever learned the boundaries very quickly.
“Very friendly and a fantastic pet sitter! Lynn went above and behind to come out and meet our dog ahead of time and to send multiple videos and photos while we were away so we could see how he and our cat were doing! We only needed someone to let the dog out and make sure he was fed, but she stayed a bit and played with him so he wouldn’t be lonely. Thank you!”
About: As an owner and caretaker to all animal family members. I have years of experience with pets furry, scally, and slimey! I am a meowmom to Loki a furry black kitten. I am currently working full time, I have my schedule out a month in advance so it is easy to work around. I can also be flexible on weekdays if needed. I cannot bring your fur baby to my own home but I will be able to provide top knotch care in yours. I will follow all care guidance provided and treat yours like my own.
“Macey has been super responsive and did a great job with our pug. Her meet and greet ahead of the actual drop in appointment was very helpful for our dog to feel comfortable. We definitely recommend Macey and will call on her again!”
About: I have had pets (mostly dogs) big and small! With over a decade of professional and personal pet care experience, I am not only excited but well-equipped to care for your pet. I have professional grooming, training, and medication-administration experience. Please feel free to contact me for all of your pet care needs! I work from home and am self employed so my schedule is very flexible. I will be able to stay for longer durations if needed, or make more frequent stops for young and elderly pets. I'm here to take your furball on a long walk, play a structured game of fetch, devise mental stimulation exercises to tire them out, or anything else that they may require when you're not at home. Whether at your house or mine, I am committed to caring for your pet to the best of my ability! I currently have 1 medium sized mixed breed dog (Caboose, my world ❤️) and a fully fenced backyard. I have no crates at my home location but am able to separate my dog from yours if need be. Please feel free to reach out, as I can make plenty of specific accomodations!
About: Hi! My name is Madi and I have been caring for pets of various kinds for several years. As a pet owner and animal lover, I understand the importance of finding someone who will love and care for your pet. I will always do my very best to show every animal the respect and adoration it deserves. I currently work in the school setting, so I have availability in the evenings and on weekends until summer, when I will gain much more availability. My two cats are quite spoiled, and I like to joke that they live better than most humans. They get their own room, lots of sunny spots near windows, and as many cuddles as they will allow.
