“Megen took such great care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. They have special feeding needs, and she made sure everything was just right for them. She also sent lots of cute photos which made being away a little easier. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Megen!”

About: Hi, My name is Max! I am a sophomore in college hoping to get my bachelor’s degree in biology! I’m a huge animal lover!! I have played basketball for my whole life up until this year so I love to get outside and throw the tennis ball or kick the soccer ball with my sweet doggo! I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which makes me want to pursue being a Vet! I have a dog of my own, Buddy and one other dogs in the house named Sheena I’ve volunteered for many shelters and I’ve loved every second of it. I’ve also pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family!

About: I've taken care of dogs of all ages but especially puppies for many years.

I live in a safe neighborhood that has a nice walking trial that I can use to take your dog on a walk if needed.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so I understand that they need lots of love and care. I love animals and I think it’s very important for dogs to get exercise, so it is important that they get as much time as possible walking and going to parks. Playing with dogs is apart of their well-being and yours! I think that dogs and cats make people much happier and because of that it is our job to keep them happy and healthy. This means feeding them, playing with them, petting them, and watching out for them. I have volunteered at two animal shelters in the past, worked for a company called Bark, and have dog and cat sit for friends before. I am kind and responsible and would love to spend time with your animals. I am available every day/night except Saturdays. I work late on Saturdays but could still come in the morning, and can still go by in the evenings as long as your animal doesn’t have a super specific set meal time at night. I will be respectful of your belongings and your space. I will make sure their water is always full, and to follow your instructions on the best way to care for them.

Second time with Leah, she takes extra good care of my cat when she visits, giving her lots of love and attention. Other sitters have ignored my very social kitty when they come, while Leah gives plenty of cuddles and I see pictures of my cat on her lap and playing together with her toys. When I came back, my kitty was in good spirits! Will always book with Leah!!
I needed someone to come in and take care of my three cats when I went to Florida for three weeks. My parents were supposed to come stay at the house, but we’re unable to. I looked over the different sitters and I found Raena’s profile. She had a lot of good reviews and happy customers who used her more than once. she was very close by to my house in Tilson. I scheduled a meet up visit before I left. When she came in one of the cats mittens came running right over to her and was very affectionate and friendly. So was Bella and Evie. So I decided that I would have her come each day for 60 minutes to take care of the cats. RAENA did a fantastic job with all three cats. Giving them plenty of playtime with toys. Special treats for them to eat she even brought in the newspaper, and I forgot to cancel each day. She sent lots of great pictures each day. I even talked to her over the phone a few times in addition to texting. I was so happy to find someone who did such an excellent job with the cats. . I was so pleased to find someone who did such an excellent job with the cats. They were very happy when I came home and I could tell they were well cared for. I definitely recommend RAENA for your pet sitting needs
