Pet Sitting North Avondale

“Wolf did an INCREDIBLE job taking care of our babies while we were away! They took the initiative to stop by before we left for an introduction and to get to know us, which left me feeling completely confident in them. We got a great little summary every day of how the visit went and several silly pictures each day of the cats. Wolf was such a treat and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a competent and capable pet sitter!”

“I am repeated client with Melissa and I really trust her with my beloved cat Oakley! She truly spends time with him and gives him much needed attention while we are away! Thank you!”

“Jessalyn took the time to really get to know Luna, asking thoughtful questions about my expectations for her care. She respected Luna’s boundaries and recognized that building trust and relationships with her would take time.”

“Tabby is absolutely wonderful. My pups and kitty had a lovely time with her. I could tell they were really comfortable while I was gone. She has watched them multiple times at this point and I will definitely be booking her for services again whenever I am headed out of town.”

About: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). That said, I have a lot of experience managing other people, and I do have high expectations for clear communication from clients. I have never had a complaint from clients that already have human children. I am very clear about the kind of care I offer. For example, I clearly state I can do 4-8 hrs for letting out. That does not mean that when I get to the sit, you tell me you expect every hour. I also do not cancel other bookings so that you can be the sole client. I have been through that, obliged, and the client was still dissatisfied. I am running a business and the new owner of this app runs on harsh algorithms that hide you in search. Let’s try to be better and more human, than conforming to private equity and their bottom line. For the fur babies, I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs and can do my best to provide reinforcement on current training, but I am not going to be attuned right off the jump to the nuances noticed by your trainer or you... I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.

“I am so thankful for Nina's help while I was away for two long days in a row. The dogs were happier and more relaxed when I came home and seeing her reports took away all my guilt for leaving them for the day. It's obvious they had fun and felt loved. I will definitely seek her out again!”

“Meranda did such an awesome job watching my cats. One of them is a senior who requires an inhaler. She made sure both of them were well cared for & both my cats took to her right away. The communication was awesome and 100% would recommend her :)”

Danielle P.

“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”

Taylor H.

“Carson did a great job! He was very kind, consistent and communicative- he was even able to cover an extra day for me when my plans shifted! He did a great job keeping my boy taken care of!”

Stix N.

“I had a great experience working with Emma! She took great care of my kitties and helped give medication to one of them, while also monitoring her condition and keeping me updated every day. It really gave me peace of mind. The kitties are happy to see her again!”

Meng J.

“Emily was available on short notice and took great care of our two cats while we were away. This is our second time booking with Emily, and we would definitely trust her to watch our cats again!”

Laura W.

“Dana has been so awesome with our 8-yr old cat, Momo. Momo was recovering from a surgery and was on a cone, so we’d been worried about leaving her by herself. We trusted her with Dana and we’re so glad we did because Dana has reallllyyyy helped us out (and calmed our separation anxieties too). She is calm and kind, and was great with Momo—she sent us regular, detailed updates and pictures from her visits. Dana was also great about giving Momo her daily medications, food and pets, and she actually did MUCH more than what we had asked of her. Really appreciate Dana and will definitely reach out to her in the future!! Highly recommend her <3 :)”

“Anya is a God send. I work 2nd shift and really need someone to give my Blue that 2nd walk of the day. She is caring and thoughtful and very much appreciated by us both!!!”
