We were so pleased with the care our rather old, rather shy cat received from Crispin. And, to my amazement-the kitty area was as clean as I left it. Crispin, both kitty and I thank you!

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, back home I have four dogs, one beagle, one husky, one labrador and one border collie so I know how to take care of different breeds. I've also had my neighbors, friends and cousins rely on me to care for their dogs, feed them, take them on walks and play with them. I really love dogs and I miss my dogs every single day! I am a full time student but I have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on the mornings from 6-10 and after 3pm, and open availability whole weekend! I am always on the look out for them and take them on walks/play with them. I can crate them if needed and also feed/take medicine if needed.

I have known Katie for almost 20 years and for as long as I can remember she has always had pets and has loved and cared for them as if they were her own children. I am very particular for who watches my dogs and when I do need a pet sitter she is my first call. When she does care for them, she treats them as if they were her own pets. She follows their schedule and the instructions I give her very closely. If she has questions she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and clarify. She is one of the most loving and caring individuals I know and I know will treat your animals with the love and respect that they deserve!

I highly recommend for pet sitting services. Having grown up in a household with three soft-coated Wheaten Terriers, she has developed a deep understanding of the commitment, responsibility, and love it takes to care for pets. She is well-versed in daily pet care routines, including feeding, exercise, grooming, and providing companionship. In addition to her experience with dogs, she has also provided dedicated care for our next-door neighbors' two cats, ensuring they were well-fed, entertained, and comfortable in their owners' absence. Her ability to manage the needs of both dogs and cats demonstrates her versatility and genuine affection for animals. She is responsible, caring, and highly knowledgeable about pet care. She treats every animal with the same love and attention as she would her own.

About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter for 6 years, and fell in love with it. I would take dogs on walks and read to them to soothe the stress of a shelter. Our pets need the utmost care, so I would love to take care of your pet! I am currently a full time student. I do take some online classes that allow me for more flexible hours. I am open to other hours and schedules. I will always try my best to serve you and your pet. I treat my dog as if she is my baby. I believe we should care about our pets as much as they care about us. Pets really understand us and even listen to us. Even though they may not speak like us it’s important to also tend to their needs.
