Pet care experience
I've done pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was about 11 years old. But, even before that I was taking care of animals on my family farm, we had goats, chickens, cows, horses, you name it! I've grown up with such a love for animals and I cant imagine a life without them :) I also now live with 2 cats. (Both handfuls in their own ways 😅) Cassandra is a kitten with too much energy to deal with most the time, and Pumpkin with the sassiest personality you’d ever seen. But as soon as I get a place appropriate I hope to get a pup too! I grew up with dogs in my family home, again needing so much special love and attention 🥰😂. My family pups had general anxiety, separation issues, crate anxiety, special dietary needs, and diabetes.
Reviews
Skylar provided detailed reports and plenty of photos from her drop-ins each day. It seemed clear that my cats loved her presence! Would highly recommend booking Skylar to take care of your cats 💯
We are still cracking up at the photos and updates Skylar sends, my boyfriend saves nearly every photo! We love working with Skylar. Thank you Skylar for everything!
We’ve had Skylar watch our cat 3 times now, the first being an extended trip! We always absolutely crack up at Skylar’s updates while she is watching our cat, Millie, and know that she is in good hands! I’m always a chicken with my head cut off when we are leaving for out of town but Skylar is great and communicates anything she needs. Thank you Skylar!
Skylar took great care of our dog and two cats. We have had her house sit and take care of our animals before and she has always done a spectacular job. She gives us daily updates and we have been very happy.

I love in a small studio with my cats Pumpkin and Cassandra. I love going for daily walks, so I'd love a chance to take a new friend with me! As for sitting in your home- I prefer to stick to a schedule. I lock all of my doors after I leave, or enter my own home, and of course will do the same for your home. I’m kind of a neat freak so I always do my best to leave your home just as I found it. I have experience with all sizes of pups!. Anything your furry friend needs, I will be more than happy to provide :)
Information Skylar C. would like to know about your pet
What I’d need to know about your pet ahead of time would be the basic info- allergies, medications, conditions or dietary restrictions. How they interact with other dogs/ animals / people and if they’re good at the park. It’s also good to know what their daily routine usually looks like- how often/ what do they eat? How often do we go for walks? What’s their energy level? And are there any places in the house they aren’t allowed? Like on the furniture or maybe in the office or something. As well as anything else that you would consider important for me to know! And of course- favorite treats !
A typical day
A typical day with your dog really depends on what they, and you, are comfortable with! I’m usually doing homework or in school so if i get a chance to go out of a walk with a new friend I’m all for it.

Availability
I am a student right now. But my schedule is relatively flexible ! I have classes daily but atm it’s only 1-2 classes a day. And I do have a bit of a social life, but tbh I prefer a night in with my cats 😂
