“Absolutely amazing service! I had a last minute need for a cat sitter and Alexandra was able to provide! She's made sure my cat was well cared for, played with and happy while I was away!”
“I highly recommend Elena! It was the first time that I had left my cat alone for the week and was feeling nervous and guilty. Elena went above and beyond to make me feel at ease and provided constant updates. A bonus is that my cat absolutely adored her!!!! I will be using her again in the future!!! Thank you Elena :)”
“Annelise is awesome! She agreed to watch my 3 kitties last minute and on a holiday week. She is attentive to your pets and gives them lots of love. She treated both my animals and my house with respect. I've already booked with her again!”
“A real life-saver. Booked at last minute due to unavailability of our usual sitter. She cam e to the house for a meet and greet and showed up, as scheduled, to take care of Buddy. Kept us informed with regular photos and notes. He was well taken care of. Thanks Dmitria.”
“Kory went passed my expectations, I have never left my baby before and I was so nervous but she reassured me that everything was going to be okay and she really did fulfill everything I wanted and needed for a sitter. Couldn’t have asked for someone better to take care of my fur baby!🩷”
“Pam provides excellent service for pet sitting. I’ve used her to take care of my two cats. She takes the time to sit with them and give them the attention they’ve been missing while I’m gone.”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, my grandmother taught me grooming skills on her poodles and we had a Maltese rescue. I was also a manager of a dog boarding facility in Indiana, so I've seen a lot! I was responsible for administration of medications, handling injuries and runs to the vets office (owners preferred vet). I can handle just about anything from large power-house pups down to the little sassy woofs! I currently work part-time, with full autonomy of my schedule. I'm able to care for your baby whenever you need. Let me know how I can help you! I have dog sat pets of friends, family, neighbors and even new clients. I've cared for dogs on medications from pills to insulin. I have experience with many different play & feed routines as well as various structures that owners have for their pups. I understand the stress of leaving a pup at a facility so I value the importance of having someone you trust caring for your fur baby in their own home. I'm also fluent in curbing unwanted behaviors- if there is something I can do to continue the training you're diligently teaching your dog, let me know! I'd love to help continue that when the pup is in my care.
“Sierra put my mind at ease over leaving my skittish kitty. She took very good care of her and sent me pictures at each check in. What a relief not to worry about your pet when you’re away. Thank you!!”
“Did a great job with my cay Aurora. Kia kept in touch with me about each visit with such nice pictures which made my vacation that much better without having to worrying about Aurora. Definetelly recomend Kia.”
“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”
About: I have been taking care of all different types of animals all my life. From taking care of baby kittens to taking care of a new born puppy. Birds and reptiles as well. I love all animals and treat all animals the same. I just moved locally and I used to take care of a household of seven animals plus my grandmother. I am now looking to help others take care of their for babies when needed. I’m free all the time and would love to take care of more animals. I take care of my pets daily from the minute. I wake up so the minute I go to bed. Both of my cats at home follow me everywhere and love their cat room that I made for them. I play with them daily and even make cute little projects for them. My most recent one was a little box for my one cat that wouldn’t let me get rid of a delivery box. I have had to give medication to animals as well. I’m very good at it and know how to administer medication‘s properly. I’ve also taken care of animals that have walking issues that are having issues with going outside. Many years of different types of animal care.
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for the last few years for months at a time when they go away. I also have some experience trying to train pups at a shelter. I am currently working part time, and taking a few classes but my schedule is still mostly open. I take classes Monday-Thursday and I am off Friday-Sunday. If hours are flexible I can do any day but if your furry friend needs a little more care Friday-Sunday I am open. I will always respect your home and your pet as if it was my own. I have grown up around animals my entire life and I know how hard it can be leaving them. That is why I want to make sure my clients know that I will ensure I follow instructions exactly and will not hesitate to reach out if there is any questions or issues.
