“Mackenzie is excellent, highly recommended in caring for your cat 🐈, coaxing out Sydney to give her twice a day medication, to attending to every detail in ensuring her needs were met. I am able to travel with ‘‘peace of mind’ knowing MacKenzie will be there (even during a snowstorm)!!!!”

About: I grew up taking care of various animals including miniature donkeys, cats, dogs and chickens. With growing up with various pets I understand how imperative it is to have the proper care for every pet’s needs. I enjoy ensuring that all pets needs are met so they can be happy and healthy. I am attending North Central Technical college for an associates degree in human services. Additionally, I work part time (10-15 hrs) at Strive Behavioral Solutions with kids on the autism spectrum. My days are typically split up between a portion of school and work (depending on the day). I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed to care for your pet. I will not be able to care for animals in my home. I take my job caring for your animals very seriously and will be responsible and thorough.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid and have over 6 years of professional experience. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs, including seniors, puppies, special needs animals, and working breeds. I also know pet first aid and have experience with basic training, so I’m confident handling a variety of situations. I am a stay at home mom, and can fit into whatever your schedule needs. I am available for boarding and daycare, and mornings during weekdays for drop-ins and dog walking. I have two friendly dogs. I like to keep pets on a familiar routine with feeding time, play time, and walks, while in my care. Everyone gets the attention they deserve, and I am always at home. I will keep you updated with messages and pictures.
About: As a first year medical student, I feel that I am a trustworthy and reliable sitter! I have taken care of pets of my family friends and have always had a good experience. I usually have classes Monday through Friday, but available on most weekends. I am also available some nights on weekdays too. My schedule can be flexible. I would prefer to take care of the pets in the client’s home since I think that will make the pet more comfortable and feel more at ease.
About: I am very playful with pets, they will have my full attention. They will get all the kisses and hugs they want. I will treat each pet as if they were my own. I am a very responsible person and if given the change you will see that. I just moved the Baltimore area and would like the opportunity to put my service to use and be the best furbaby babysitter of all time. Please allow for me to have the opportunity to show you how responsible, kind, and compassionate I can be with your pet. You will be able to get into contact with me whenever you need reassurance that your furbaby is doing well and is happy. Everyone is welcomed in my home I am available as needed I work from home so I am able to attended to all pet needs. A typical day with me includes lots of walks and treats I have a fenced back yard that the dogs are able to run around in. It is a big house so they are able to run around where ever
About: I’ve lived my whole life around animals! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and fish. I’m studying animal behavior and love every kind of dog! I know basic training techniques. I’m available any time or day except Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. Outside of that window, I am free to take care of your pet! I can’t bring your pet to my home but I am available to visit your pet at your place. I can also take your pet to parks and on walks as the weather allows!
“Catherine was so good with my cats. I have 3 seniors 1 of which is 20. She had him walking around on her shoulder, licking Churu from her hand, and warmed right up to her. They all did. It was a big relief for me. She went over and above my expectations.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my Othello! I could tell he had been well cared for when we came home. I also appreciated the additional photos and the fact that he let you pet him means he must have really trusted you! I hope to be able to book again with you!”
About: I’ve never not had a pet. I currently have 1 dog and 1 cat as well as care for my brother’s St. Bernard and Great Pyrenees. My grandpups are a Blue Healer and a Black Lab. Animals and I seem to connect right away. In the Fall of 2023 I left the corporate world of office work to pursue enjoying life more and less stress. Early retirement with a side gig…my children are grown and my schedule is open now to help others. I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and have experience administering meds. I’m very open to following whatever schedule or routine you have your animals on. If they just need someone to come play or walk them to expend their energy, that’s perfect also.
