“Maura accepted our last-minute request to provide drop-in care for our cats and bird when an unexpected trip came up. We trusted her from our first meeting with her and she did a great job! She communicated with us and sent photos from every visit. We will definitely reach out to her when we need to travel again!”

About: I have taken care of pets all my life. I have had a dog from the time I could walk and a horse since I was 4. Animals are a passion of mine. Currently I have three cats, 3 dogs, a horse, and a ferret. My cats are Lucifer, Loco, and Cleo. Lucifer loves to eat, Loco loves love, and Miss Cleo loves to be left alone. My dogs are Jezzi, Ziggy, and Auzy. Jezzi is a jack russel who loves belly rubs and to be the boss. Ziggy is a Texas blue heeler who is afraid of his shadow and has anxiety disorders. Auzy loves people and to play with other dogs, but she is 130 lbs and things she is a lap dog. My horse is Dallas and he love mini Oreos and to run all day long. My ferret, T-Bird, or the “crack weasel” as everyone calls him loves to run and sleep. My family and friends have always relied on me with their pets, homes, and children anytime they needed someone. Pet care is like a second nature to me, everyday at 5:30 I go to the horse barn and feed Dallas. My other animals get fed when I feed myself and their water is always filled. I work full time, if I am not working at Coopers in the morning I am babysitting. With my full schedule I always make time for each and every one of my pets whether that is playing in the yard with my dogs or playing with my cats, or even letting the ferret loose in the house to play with the cats or the dogs. When I am working in a clients home, usually if the weather permits I will take their babies outside to play or even the park for a walk. I also like to take dogs for car rides to get ice cream on a warm day. On a wet or cold day we stay in and play or lounge depending on the pet. Dogs and cats that need a little more training or help, I like to take time in the day to “make it all about business.” My dogs at home all know the basic commands and some others depending on the dogs, so it is fun to learn the difference between animals; for example my dog Ziggy, knows hug, move, and enough. People who own dogs like do not have anxiety usually wouldn’t know the meaning behind these commands. I use hug for Ziggy when it comes to new people because he can forget people in the matter of minutes and it takes time for him to get used to them again, the hug represents safety because most people do not know the command and how he reacts to it. The command move for Ziggy is also a command most people do not know the meaning behind. Ziggy’s anxiety constantly has him moving but when it comes to doors he has a tendency to sit and wait for someone to open a door before he jumps and nips them. Telling Ziggy to move makes him move to a different position in the house away from the door rather than telling him no. Enough is a command used a lot for Ziggy because his anxiety always has him barking and wanting constant contact, this becomes an inconvenience when I am trying to work on the floor or on my bed and he is walking all over my work space or even when I am just trying to take a deep breath. Telling him enough is like a heal command without the sit. Enough just means I’m not playing, I’m busy so go lay down. Working with a dog like Ziggy takes a lot of patience along with keeping a constant.

“We appreciate how much Ashley cares for our dog. He enjoys having someone here with him while we are away. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her back.”

“We had a great meet and greet with Kaitlin. She explained everything clearly and took charge right away, which made us feel super comfortable. Inno responded really well to her. She even gave us things to work on with him until her next visit, which we really appreciated. We’re excited to see his progress and definitely recommend her!”

About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!

“Caitlin does a fantastic job. She is great with our dogs and communicates so well with anything she sees or notices. We appreciate her very much, and our dogs love her.”

During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.

“Alex was a great pet-sitter. She was 100% reliable and kept us well informed regarding our cats. The cats seemed comfortable with her during the meet-and-greet visits, and we felt comfortable hiring her. She will be our first choice for a pet-sitter in the future”
