“Excellent communication and Kimberly did a great job with all of my requested items. Thank you for making my vacation less stressful! I will definitely use Kimberly again!”
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I love to play with them, to keep active. I have experience with dog sitting for some family friends and coworkers in the past. I have experience with giving medication (oral or injection). My schedule is soon going to free up even more, however I'm fairly flexible now too. Currently I am quite flexible. I need an advanced notice for potential bookings due to my busy, ever-changing schedule. I'm looking forward to meeting some new pets. I prefer to care for pets are their own homes to keep them happy and comfortable. I have a full household as it is, with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I will be able to let them out multiple times, possibly take them for walks depending on amount of dogs and sizes, play with them and love them.
“Diane did a fantastic job. This was my first time leaving my pets and I was so nervous at first. But with lots of check-ins and pics from my pets sitter, I felt much better. It's clear she took great care of them while I was gone. Not only will I be requesting this sitter in the future but I will highly recommend her to friends and family.”

About: I have been an independent pet sitter for 17 plus years. I have plenty of experience with cats, dogs and other small critters.

About: I've had different types of pets my whole life - dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, etc. I harbor so much love and passion for animals and positive care. I have experience as kennel staff at a vet clinic where I fed and cleaned up after cats & dogs, and walked & bathed dogs as needed. I've cared for puppies, kittens, as well as senior cats and dogs. I have experience giving medication such as pills, chewables, liquid oral meds with a syringe, and insulin shots for a diabetic cat. I work full-time as a paraeducator, so while school is out my schedule is pretty flexible for the summer to pet-sit and go on routine walks with pets as needed. Caring for pets in my clients' homes, I calmly greet pets upon arrival so I don't over-excite them. I follow owners' specific instructions thoroughly to ensure safe and proper care for each animal and their individual needs. If I am letting animals out for a walk or into a yard, I check to make sure fences/gates and that leashes/tie-out lines are safe and secure before having the pets go outside.

“Leaving your animal family at home while you're away can be a very stressful time for us pet parents. I used to get incredibly anxious knowing I would need someone else to care for my animals, when I would RATHER be happy and excited for an upcoming trip or vacation! If this sounds like you, ALISHA is your solution. Alisha was put on this earth to care for animals. She has taken the best care of our dogs, turtle, birds, lizard, and fish while we've been away allowing my husband and I to actually enjoy ourselves. She follows all instructions and consistantly goes above and beyond. She sends you so many pictures and updates you wont even need to check your camaras (if you have them).You will love her! We do:)”

“Chris is one of the best pet care takers I have had the pleasure of working with. He is one of few people that I can count on, and that I would trust to care for my dogs while I’m away. I trust him not only with the safety of both my dogs, but also in my home. It’s hard to find people you can trust nowadays and Chris is one of few! He leaves the house in great condition and follows directions perfectly. My dogs can be reactive at times and Chris handles them and my directions wonderfully. I feel safe knowing they are with him!”
Kylee S.
“Kylee has grown up helping care for the family pets including dogs, cats and a guinea pig. She has always loved animals and I was pretty sure at one point she was going to become a vet, however she decided on nursing as her career choice. She didn’t know how she could handle euthanizing animals on a regular basis so decided on caring for others in some of their worsts times. She is extremely responsible and helps manage feeding and medication schedules for our family dog who suffers from seizures. She is very caring and even as a young adult spent countless hours this past summer with 4 new kittens that we added to our family making sure they were getting fed and getting enough attention when they were first away from their mother. She considers our pets as part of our family and includes them on outings as often as possible. She can’t wait to get her own place so she can start rescuing pets and loves to dog sit whenever she gets the chance!”
