“Mae did an excellent job communicating and making sure my cat was happy and healthy. She provided numerous photos and videos to show how he was doing. Overall a very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend!”

“McKenna was a GREAT pet sitter. She was on time and did all the tasks asked and even filled the bird feeders. Best of all, Stormy was excited to see her each day for food and pets. Her photos were so appreciated and so well done. I really appreciated her daily updates.”

“Easy communication and very flexible. My dog loved spending time with them. Justin went above and beyond always updating us about Annie with pics and how to visits went. Definitely booking again next time.”

About: Grew up with animals including lizards, cats, dogs, birds and horses. Volunteered in animal shelters doing all care of cats and dogs! I love all animals. I currently work for an Equestrian Center where I help care for over 30 horses. I have two part time jobs, but I only work in the evenings and am available for the rest of the day! I’ll do my best to work around any schedule I have five cats currently who are the most spoiled animals, they get lick mats, vitamins, and all sorts of other fun enrichment. They are also some of the kindest cat you will ever meet! I would extend this love for my cats to your animal offering homemade or organic treats (if allowed!) I also have a dog and several reptiles who are beyond loved!
About: Hello Pet Parents, My name is Maleeka and I’m a former emergency veterinary hospital receptionist and current nursing student. My love for animals started at a young age. My first job was at a local, family owned pet store when I was 14. I’ve been caring for animals for 20 years and hope to continue to do so for years to come. Pet Care would fit into my weekly routine as I’m currently a part time college student with a flexible schedule to provide pet sitting services. I’m home full time and my courses are online. I live in a quiet neighborhood away from the main road and traffic. I have a large, unfenched backyard surrounded by woods at the edge of the property. Taking care of a pet at a client’s resident would depend on their house’s location etc.
About: I am a proud dog, cat and bird mom! I grew up on a farm with a variety of different critters such as horses, cows, pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, cats and more! I am a veterinary assistant and love the career I am in. I have worked in the profession for 9 years. I enjoy taking care of animals and especially those in need. I have many years of experience with foster care for both dogs and cat. I pride myself in taking care of your pet like they are my own. I have 4 dogs, 3 cats and 3 birds that I love dearly. I am a veterinary assistant and work part time currently. I have animals around me in every aspect of my life. I have a large house that is dog and cat friendly. My dogs love playing in our large back yard and are well adjusted to having new visitors and making new friends.
“Chloe was great - she sent very detailed messages and pics each day and the cats really seemed to like her. We came home and they acted like we hadn't even been gone (because Chloe took such good care of them). Chloe was lovely and we'd definitely use her again in future!”
About: All throughout my life, dogs and cats have been members of my family. I think an animal companion is essential to good living. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, from teacup poodles to great dates and dogs of all ages. Each pet is unique and I am prepared to take on their unique needs, including but not limited to medication administration, special exercise, and massage. Additionally, I am very good at reading a dog. Each dog has their own space and introduction needs, I promise to abide by them so your dog is comfortable with me from the get go. I work for myself as a photographer so I have lots of time to work with your beloved pet. I am available Monday - Friday from 8 am to 6 pm for check-ins and walks. I take photo sessions during those same times, but it is all first come first serve and I am happy to work with you to make sure your needs are met when they need to be met! You can count on me to not only cover the basic necessities such as watering, walking, and feeding but to go above and beyond for your pet's care. I believe communication is of the utmost importance when it comes to taking care of family members, and let's face it, our pets are our family. You can rely on me for regular communications, updates, pictures, and anything else you may need. I have a reliable car that is great in winter, so I will have no problem getting you.
