“I really hope we can do this again together. My girls were so happy and well cared for. I really liked the updates and jr was lovely seeing how relaxed my girls were even though I’d been gone for five days. Jordan took notes when we left and it helped to ease my mind. She was just wonderful.”
“It is clear that Sarah is great with animals, my cats took to her. I have one cat who tends to be shy and she grew in confidence with Sarah. Sarah is someone you can trust with your animals. I appreciated that she did more than feed and clean the litter boxes. She took time with my cats. The daily notes and photos were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Sarah and will call on her the next time I travel.”
“Megan is our new bunny sitter. She has experience with bunnies and our bunny was immediately very comfortable with her. Megan is a great communicator and very dependable. She leaves the house in perfect condition. We have already booked her for future dates. Highly recommend.”
About: I have had a dog since I was born. My dog and I grew up together, learning together. Saying that I’ve had my fair share of experience being with pets. I have always had the responsibility to learn how to take care of them and their needs and we can’t forget having fun with toys and walks. Recently my dog sadly passed away and I would love nothing more being pets again. I currently work night shift during the week. So I’ll be available during the day after 7 am for playtime and walks and making sure they are fed and whatever they may need. I also have the weekends off Unfortunately I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have lots of grass for them to run around in and live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. Since I’m used to having two dogs in the home, I can accommodate most specific needs.
About: We currently have 4 dogs, 1 cat, and a gecko of our own! All different ages and sizes. Have trained dogs from puppies. And have experience with newborn puppies and pregnant dogs. I am always around and willing to help out local families with pets. Reach out for any specific scheduling needed and we can make it work At home we do have a fenced in yard with lots of space, and plenty of area to walk locally and trails through the woods
About: I have a long history caring for animals! I’ve worked with and cared for animals since I was six years old. I began training horses and dogs when I was eleven, and have continued to ever since. I have 2 dogs, a horse and a cat of my own. I’ve owned animals my whole life, never having the house without at least 3 dogs or cats at a time. I run and walk frequently and am happy to bring your pet along, but I’m also happy to stay in with a cat! I’ve cared for family and friend pets, and I’m able to provide all typical pet care and medication administration. I’m currently home from college, so I’m free almost any time! I’m happy to work with you and come up with a schedule that meets you and your pets needs. I’m incredibly mindful of your animals disposition, and any specifications you may have concerning the need of your pet! I’m able to drive to a clients home for sitting.
“Definitely 5 stars for Stacie for her first time visits with our cat. Stacie came to our home 4 times while we were away. When we arrived home, our cat was calm and happy. Stacie is very communicative, a kind and caring person. I would not hesitate (and will) book Stacie again! Clearly recommended.”
“Tamara was amazing with our cat, Carol. She is normally a feisty cat who is not a lover by any means. That's not how it was with Tamara. Seeing photos (regularly, I may add) of her getting scratched behind the ears was amazing. We will absolutely, have Tamara watch her any time the need arises. We cannot say enough good things about her.”
About: I treat every pet like family—dogs, cats, and every animal in between. I take time to understand each animal’s unique personality, preferences, and routines. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs extra exercise or a shy cat who wants a cozy lap and quiet company, I meet pets where they’re at. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to the little things that matter most—like a favorite toy, feeding schedule, or bedtime habit. Plus, I keep you updated with thoughtful, consistent communication so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can visit in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, or in the evenings. On weekdays, I’m typically available for up to three visits a day, and I often have even more availability on weekends if needed. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that means feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company. I make sure everything stays clean and calm, and I always respect your space as if it were my own. Every visit includes lots of love, attention, and updates so you know your pet is doing great.
About: I’ve never not owned an animal of my own. Always around all different types. Big, little, fur, no fur it doesn’t matter! Love them all. It’s what I do for a summer gig so I can have summers “off” with my daughter. She also is a very big animal lover. I will follow any routine you do with your animals. Just show me what and how you do things and I’ll do the same thing.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 7. In my house hold we currently have three dogs and three cats. The cats all behave and I’ve taught the dogs various proper behaviors and tricks. I’ve helped watch new born puppies as well as older dogs and I’m very confident with taking care of any animal. I’m currently working a part-time along with college but I am completely free all day on Thursdays and Fridays to take care of your animals! Everyone handles their pets differently so I can just stick with the routine you currently have with your pets so as to not confuse them!
About: I’ve been responsible for taking care of dogs, cats, and a bunny for friends and family. I also have experience working alongside farm animals, and cleaning up after them. I am reliable, and will always have your pets best interest in mind! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for pet care! I have a flexible schedule, and will make sure to respond quickly. When walking dogs I am prepared to take all the necessary steps to keep everyone safe and happy. Including being spatially aware of who and what’s around me, making sure your pet is leashed, and being well informed regarding your pets needs.
