“We knew we had made the right decision when we saw Darah pet, kiss, and hold our cat with genuine love and care. As our cat required daily medication administration, Darah was kind and patient. Daily photos and visit summaries put our minds at ease. We have already rehired Darah for additional upcoming travels and are completely confident that our cat and our home are in good hands.”

“An unfortunate passing, Elizabeth was available with VERY short notice and took on the challenge of 11 felines! A couple of our fur babies took to loving Lizzy, and was saddened when she was finished. A VERY understanding pet care professional. Thank you Lizzy!”

“I want to thank Alicia and Rover. What an amazing service. Alicia was extremely caring and both Tommy and Floyd (the shy one) immediately were taken by her and her caring nature. Our daily snapshots showed just how caring and compassionate Alicia was with them. Even our last day, when thanking her for all she did, Tommy was showing his love and appreciation to her. Truly a wonderful experience. Thank you Alicia again so very much and Rover too. Many warm regards”

About: Hi! I'm Gress (I go by my middle name), I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have had years of experience caring for pets in my neighborhood growing up. My family has two dogs, a Husky named Luna and a pug named Duckie, so I know what it's like to handle both high-energy pets and maybe more lazy ones. I started pet sitting for families in my neighborhood at a young age, and it quickly became something I really enjoy. I’m reliable and always make sure pets get plenty of exercise and affection. I'm comfortable with all different kinds of pet personalities and ages and would love to treat yours like family! I’m currently a senior at Denison University and love to stay active. At home, caring for my dogs is a part of everyday life. I contribute to the feeding, walking, and playtime at my house-- my dogs love their consistent routines. Adding pet sitting or dog walking to my week is easy because I enjoy it, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention and time they need. In your home, I make sure that I follow the routine and any special instructions that your pet needs and is used to. Having particular dogs myself, I'm familiar with different feeding schedules, medications, walking preferences, playtime, and behavioral needs. I keep their space tidy, ensure they have fresh water at all times, and provide updates so owners know how their pet is doing. Safety and consistency are always my top priorities.
About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was born! Part of my chores was taking care of them. I love taking dogs on walks and playing at the doggy park! I also love giving dogs the best care I can! I personally try to stay updated on the best ways to care for dogs, instead of sticking to old ways of taking care of them. I have a part time job, I only work Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays! But, I might have some weeks where my schedule looks different. I don’t mind waking up early or staying out late to take care of your babies! I can crate if your dog needs to be, I can also create enrichment items for them to have some fun! I’ll measure out food, take them outside, or walk them at a certain time. When it comes to pet care, I keep it simple yet fun to have a relaxing time. As well as if there needs to be strict rules, I’ll follow that as well!

“Em was wonderful with our dogs- and very reliable. She had to deal with some bad weather while we were gone but made sure the dogs were OK. We will definitely use her again next time we travel.”

About: I grew up with a dog and I also worked at a vet clinic for 7 years. I went to tech school and absolutely love animals. You never have to worry if your furry friend is getting the play time or love they need! I have pet sit many of our family friends pets and feel comfortable around any size animal and breed. I can medicate animals if needed and I promise to always treat your pet as if they were my own. I will help keep them stress free and not worrying about where their owner is. I make things like nothing has changed. I love meeting new pets of all kinds. I'm more than happy to come to your home and make your pets feel safe and keep them as comfortable as possible while your away I work from home which gives me more flexibility to pop in and spend time with your pet so they don't feel lonely. It also gives me the flexibility to work anywhere, so I can take my work with me and hang out during the day so they aren't home alone. My routine is keeping their routine as normal for them as possible. I want them to be able to adjust to me being there with them but be like nothing has changed when the owners come back home.
“I don’t leave reviews but Kayla went way above and beyond for me dealing with my dog getting sick and cleaning it and handling my injured dogs bandages coming off and reapplying them for me! I couldn’t give more praise to her and wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you want the best care for you’re pet!”
