“Gianna is simply the best. We book her weekly for drop-in visits and she’s done weeklong house-sitting. The dogs (2 of them) are well-taken care of - she gives them more attention than we do. Plus we have a cancer survivor dog that still takes oral chemo and we’re comfortable entrusting his care to her. . She always goes above and beyond. On the most recent visit she actually brushed them since they were shedding. We are so happy we can have her caring for our dogs.”
“Heather has now come for our 2 cats several times and she does such a great job with them! They’re always relaxed and happy when we get home, and the pictures we get along the way are always so cute. Heather is super gracious and kind and we highly recommend her!”
“Jill was wonderful taking care of our dog with drop-in visits while we were away. Communication was great and she took care of our dog like she was her own. We are so glad to have found Jill and hope to book her for all of our needs going forward!”
“Katie took such great care of our dog while we were on vacation! We were nervous about him staying home alone for the week but she was extremely attentive, sent us tons of pictures and updates and made sure our pup was cared for. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She was so reliable and Buddy adored her. Her daily updates were thorough and the pictures she sent made me smile. I’ll definitely ask for Elizabeth’s help again without hesitation.”
“Nicole was great! She was super easy to work with when we needed someone in a last minute pinch. Archie loved her and was giving kisses within minutes of meeting her. I highly recommend Nicole!”
About: I have had a long standing passion for taking care of pets and animals. I understand that just like people, our pets sometimes need special care tailored to their needs. Whether it be their physical, emotional or social, I will always put your pet’s needs as a top priority. I have raised 3 puppies now and know the patience and attention to detail required to have the best pet for you and your family. I currently work a routine 9-5 job. At the moment weekends are when I will be primarily available, however my after work schedule is quite flexible and I am open to making any arrangements outside of the 9-5 hours during the work week! As of right now I live in an apartment with my girlfriend and golden retriever Nico. We take him on daily walks and are currently working on transitioning him away from the crate. I like to be prepared for any situation or emergency that may arise. This includes having local emergency vets in my phone contacts, having thorough discussions with owners about potential needs and/or desires your pet may have. My goal is to not only take care of your pet, but also build a trusting bond with both you and your beloved four legged friend.
“Michael was great with Hank! Timely updates and really helpful in a quick turnaround that I needed help with my pup. Will definitely be reaching back out to Michael for help with my pup in the future!”
“Marilin took excellent care of our French bulldog. She’s highly responsive and responsible. Her updates were clear and complete, and we came home to a happy dog!”
“Jennifer was great to work with! She came and met Nellie before the scheduled visit to make sure that my pup meet her and felt comfortable with her beforehand. Nellie is initially a little shy and standoffish, and she loved Jennifer! She took great care of Nellie and sent a lot of photos and updates. You can tell she loves animals and is great with them. I will definitely book Jennifer again!!”
“So dependable”
“Kristen is fabulous! She is reliable and upbeat, and kept our cat completely comfortable during our vacation. Her photos helped us relax knowing our pet was well cared for until we returned home.”
“Dawn was fantastic with our two cats! We needed someone to feed our cats super last minute, Dawn responded quickly and was great! She sent picture updates every day, and even brought our packages inside. Will definitely be booking Dawn whenever we can! Thank you!”
“Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.”
About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)
About: I am devoted to helping pets feel happy and comfortable. I have done pet sitting for my friends and family for many years, and have been sitting for newcomers over the last 2 years. It’s been such a lovely experience and I want to keep doing it! I am a college student with some free time so I will be available all summer. When classes pick up this fall I will be free weekends, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays for all your pets needs. When I come to a client’s home to watch pets I typically bring my lunch, iPad, and sketchbook. I will ask where the toys and treats are for the pet, what your household rules are, and how often they need to go outside, get fed, and be walked. I typically spend the whole day there, but can also do nights if necessary.
About: I've trained my dog myself from 16 weeks old to now by taking four separate courses at St. Huberts. He has allergies to food and the environment, so I'm well-versed with these special care needs. My family is not experienced with dogs, so I have trained my dog to behave in order to be allowed around them. I take my own dog for at 30-60 minute walks two times a day over the weekend and after work during the week. Our walks are very structured, and I allow him to have sniffing breaks frequently where appropriate. We work on training every walk and play fetch for additional stimulation. I don't have a yard, but I play fetch and tug in my home to do make sure they get stimulation. I usually take my little guy to the nearby park every day. I will follow whatever rules you have set forth.
“As usual, Michael is amazing! He helped us with walks and drop in visits for our puppy. He pays so much attention to detail, is always on time, and our puppy is always beyond excited to see him.”
“Leah quickly responded to my request for a same day drop-in for my dogs. She kept me up to date when she arrived and sent lots of pix. I would absolutely use Leah again!!”
“Kelsey was with Winston for a longer period of time. Eventhough he was very anxious, she was able to calm him down. She adjusted to his needs by playing with him, taking him out and playing calming music. She also sent 3 beautiful pictures. Her being with Winston gave us peace of mind and we trust her a 100%!”
