Pet Sitting North Star

About: I've had companion dogs for most of my adult life. Usually two dogs at a time. My oldest dog was a Red Healer cattle dog who eventually became blind and deaf, living to be almost 19yo. I've also had Australian Shepherds (2) and Border Collies (2) and enjoy the smart dog challenge. I consider my experience well rounded from training puppies to caring for older dogs who have special needs. I love them all like they are one of a kind and deserve the best this life has to offer. Thank you in advance for considering me as part of your pet's care! I work during the day M-F close to home. Home on the weekends. Daily walks are provided with additional play time and potty breaks as needed. I have a fenced yard and usually accompany the dog outside so they are not alone in the yard. Play time also occurs in the fenced yard space. Dogs are free to roam the house and be part of our family while boarding but I also offer containment to an area of the house or crate if needed.

“Tempest was very sweet and very communicative! I highly recommend her for her services and time. I’m happy she was able to check in on my Luna!”

“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”

“Whitney went above and beyond taking care of our dog and giving her the best care when we were out of town. I would recommend Whitney to anyone looking for amazing pet care.”

Nicole B.

“Chris and Erica were very professional. They provided photos and updates at every visit. I was unexpectedly also listing my house and had potential buyers stopping by while I was gone They pivoted expectations easily and did not mind adding a few extra request last minute. I would recommend them to my friends.”

“Catherine took wonderful care of my cat. She was communicative and easy to work with, will rebook with her again!”

“I wish I could give higher than 5 stars. Olga was the best you could possibly ask for. Regardless of any experience you have had on here before I guarantee she does better. I have the utmost gratitude for her for how well she took care of my animals and my home.”

About: I got a golden doodle when I was very young. Ever since then I’ve had a huge love for dogs and all animals. I’ve grown up with one, we got a second one shortly after. We basically had a mini farm at home, including ducks and bunnies. Once I moved out of my parents house I got a cat and a border collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I’ve been around animals all of my life. And I couldn’t imagine life without them. I work a full-time job Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM with an hour lunch. I work Fridays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. I usually go home for lunch to make sure all pets are cared for. After work, I usually stay home for the rest of the night. I live in an apartment on the second floor with a balcony. It is a very safe environment. And cozy place. It is in a closed balcony, so there is no risks of animals falling off. I have two different windows that are big and both open for fresh air.

“Shelley helped us out when I was in a pinch for a drop in on our poor pup who was in a cone after an injury! Shelley was great and took amazing care of Dash with his extra needs and kept me updated with pictures and updates”

“Teagan was an absolute perfect fit for our cat Neighla. She was prompt, kind and attentive and even cleaned up her kitty vomit, cleaned her food bowl and replaced her food. She is wonderful!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life. I like to be stern with dogs but reward for good behavior. I always like to keep my dogs by my side while walking and help with no barking. I currently work part time, so looking to dog sit outside of that. I love going outside on walks and need a buddy, also sometimes need encouragement! I can take dogs on walks, play with them in my gated backyard, and have training sessions with them. I can also give baths and really just be great company to your dog.

“My cat unfortunately he’s not always very friendly to other humans. She has diabetes and requires insulin shots every morning. Sinead has been so patient and willing to get to know Tiger. She has definitely gone the extra mile to make the visits successful!!”

Theresa D.

“Natalie was amazing! She was so kind and flexible with our plans. She took wonderful care of our pet and supplied terrific pet photos from her visits. Thank you, Natalie!!”

Donnie S.

“Katy is fantastic! She stopped by midday to let our dog out for a potty break and even brought in our packages, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time; she kept us updated and made everything feel easy and stress-free. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

Joshua K.

“The best cat sitter ever!! Communication was timely and kind. Both of my older cats absolutely loved her. They were incredibly well taken care of; brushed, played with, fed, water and a litter clean. Also was so kind to water my plants at a last second request :) will be using Meredith and Macey any time I travel! Highly recommend!”

Janey M.

“Annika has been a lifesaver as I return to the office three days a week. She is so good with my puppy, and cares for her just as I would. She is super communicative and makes me feel like I am her only client. Highly recommend!”

About: I love animals and have had them in my home growing up my whole life, however my current building does not permit pets. It’s important to me to be around animals every day and I truly value the time I get to spend with them. I love getting to know new animals and their quirks, understand their needs and how to respond to their specific needs when their owner may be away for lengths of time. I have experience with senior care in ushering my own dog through the final years of his life and providing him with as comfortable and dignified an existence as I could, while also following doctors orders and administering prescriptions. I have experience with reactive and re-homed animals and am patient and sensitive to the traumatizing effects of being re-homed and/or having an unknown history. I’m detail oriented, reliable and timely, and am compassionate towards animals with limited capabilities. I’m good at this because animals are easy to love, I like to be active and meet them at their level of energy and ability, whatever that may be. I am also very happy to send photos and daily updates to provide peace of mind that your loved ones are being well taken care of. I work a flexible schedule with minimal hours and try to plan my life around spending time with animals that bring me joy. I enjoy getting up and out multiple times a day, exercise and movement are very important to me and pet care fits naturally with this. I think it’s important to enter with the mindset that each pet is different and will have their own needs and specific care instructions. I try to get outside at least once a day and am very sensitive to meeting your dog at their activity level. As a pet sitter in your home, the biggest thing that I have to offer your loved ones is security through reliable and consistent presence through the duration of the contract. Separation from an owner can be extremely tough on animals and providing an inconsistent or inattentive presence can be damaging and unfair. I am also a lover and will of course be showering your pet with loads and loads of love and attention!

“Josh was responsive and great with my two labs.”

“Mary took phenomenal care of our old pup, and kept us updated appropriately with every check in. She is super considerate, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I will go to her first for future care and I highly recommend! Thanks again!”
