Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Care Specialist & pet lover!
Hi there! I am an animal care specialist here in Duluth with a degree in Zoo & Conservation Science. Most importantly, I absolutely love ALL animals! I have over a decade of experience caring for my own pets at home including dogs, cats, and some farm animals! I also have 5 years of professional animal care experience in college and beyond. I am experienced at caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. Handling more than one dog on walks or sittings is also easy peasy! My specialized training enables me to safely administer medicine and I have an eagle eye when it comes to monitoring health issues. Pets are an important part of the family and I do not take that lightly! I am prepared to handle any weather Duluth throws my way! With my skills reading animal emotions/behavior combined with my genuine love for animals, you can know your pet will have a FURTASTIC time with me!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am very comfortable crating, putting on leashes/harnesses, feeding/watering, medicating, and whatever else is needed to care for your pet. I am renting so I cannot care for pets in my own home unfortunately.
Ratings and reviews
Phoebe is a very caring and knowledgeable pet sitter. My family has several pets with different needs, and Phoebe meets each of them where they are and makes them feel so loved while we’re away. We have two dogs. Georgie is a Shih Tzu puppy who is still working on basic training. When Phoebe has been walking and taking care of him for a few days, his behavior always improves! And our old dog, Lizzy, can be quite stubborn. Phoebe is very patient with her and eases her anxiety about me being away. We also have an older cat, Kissy, who needs medication through the day. I never have to worry about Phoebe being able to coax him out of his hiding spots to medicate him on time. And the cherry on top is that we have a dozen chickens. I’m always impressed that Phoebe has learned all their names and goes above and beyond to set up enrichment for them while we’re away. She is the best!
Phoebe is an amazing young woman and incredibly gifted with animals. She's a zookeeper now; she cared for my pets when she was still in school. I have a rescue cat who is a mixture of skittish, loving, and needy. I travel for work and worried she wouldn't react well to a caregiver. She took to Phoebe immediately, who showered her with love and attention -- but also fed her scrupulously (measuring portions much better than I ever do) and helped with grooming. Kitty is an older longhair and develops mats. Phoebe would gently help loosen them with a patience I find admirable. I also have a corn snake, who doesn't need as much attention, but Phoebe taught me a lot about simple adjustments to her habitat that would keep her engaged. I've seen Phoebe with dogs, who love her just as much. (I've also seen videos of huge bears standing at her bidding and licking her thumb to earn a grape, but that's another story!) Phoebe is also just an amazing person. Everyone who knows her adores her.
Phoebe is the best pet sitter a person could ask for! I have trusted her to watch after my kitties and dog multiple times and she has gone above and beyond every time. She will update me with any questions, comments, and concerns, and more importantly, she will send cute pictures of her and my cats. Phoebe is an amazing pet sitter and an even better person. Please book her to watch your pets! You will not be disappointed
