“Alma did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, as usual! This time was a little more challenging as she required medication twice a day, but I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her hands while I was gone. Communication was great and appreciate the photos too. Highly recommend!”
About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy
“Grace was absolutely wonderful! She kept our two cats while we were gone for 2 and 1/2 weeks. There wasn't any stress on my end worrying if they were ok and getting love and attention. Grace sent plenty of photos (lots of snuggling photos) and kept me updated on when one of our girls would get sick, which happens very frequently. We will definitely use Grace again in the future!”
“Melanie was truly the best cat sitter I could have asked for. It is clear she is an animal lover and so conscientious about their care. My cats were very happy when I came home. Melanie also dealt with a debacle with my keys and was flexible in making other arrangements to make sure she could see my cats. Thank you, Melanie!”
“Jessica is SO GOOD with our kitty! Coraline is a lover and tends to get separation anxiety when we’re gone for an extended period of time. We feel much better knowing Jessica is checking in, taking care of, and playing playing with her. And Jessica always sends fantastic photos!”
“Zulema was amazing! She went above and beyond, sending the cutest pictures and making me feel completely at ease knowing my cats were in great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care!”
“Marissa was great! She was punctual and took all the photos. She spent time with all my cats and made sure they were ok. I completely trust her with my babies when I’m away”
“Christine took great care of the cats while I was out of town for a week, and made sure Gravy got all of his meds every day. She is a very caring and patient pet sitter! Thank you so much”
“Janeth was an amazing sitter for our precious Mint! She took photos, sent us frequent updates, and really played and pampered Mint. We feel so happy to have found Janeth! She is reassuring, calm, and responsible. We highly recommend her!”
“Alicia took great care of our cats for us while we were overseas. She kept us updated and sent us pictures of them everyday. One of our cats requires a daily inhaler and she had no problem administering it. Would definitely recommend!”
“Alonso was great and friendly! He came and met our pups before the drop-in to get acquainted with them and their routine. He was on the and sent photos to give us happy updates. We plan on continuing to have him help take care of our pups.”
About: From owning fish to hamsters to a puppy, animals have always been my support system. I have watched both dogs and cats, and before moving out of my home to pursue my career, lived with my family dog of 8 years. In my free time, I volunteer at foster shelters (like PAWS and NAWS), to help raise awareness of the importance of rescuing and adopting pets. My goal as a care taker is to make your pet feel as comfortable, safe and loved as possible so that when you get back, they don't even realize you were gone! Chat with me to see if I'm the right fit for you! I currently work M-Th full time and virtually on Fridays. My weekends are free. I’m available from Friday-Sunday for overnight and day time sitting. During the week (Monday-Thursday) I am free after 2pm to pet sit as well. I live in a spacious apartment complex that is pet friendly. Most of my neighbors have dogs, and cats amongst other pets too. While I may not have a yard my apartment complex has a dog park and walking trails, which makes for a great play/active area. I have no qualms or restrictions either with pets in my apartment and have no pets myself. My house is their house.
