Pet Sitting Patterson Park

“Valerie is absolutely wonderful and truly goes above and beyond! She not only took excellent care of Luna, but also did thoughtful extras like vacuuming the carpet — something she absolutely did not have to do and was so appreciated! Luna is extremely shy and usually hides, often making it difficult for anyone new to connect with her. Valerie was incredibly patient and gentle, giving Luna the time, attention, and calm presence she needed to feel comfortable. It honestly means so much to find someone who can build trust with her, and Valerie did exactly that. She is very responsive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she works with. I feel very confident recommending her and will absolutely use her again. We are so grateful to have found her!”

“Bradley did a wonderful job taking care of my cat when I was gone; he took lots of great pics too! Communication was great! Will definitely have Bradley take care of my fur baby when I am traveling in the future too!”

“Anne Marie was incredible! She was timely and kept us up to date with photos and notes every time she visited with our dog. Would recommend her to anyone!”

Charley J.

“Emma was fantastic with our pets! She handled drop-in visits for our two dogs and one cat while my partner and I were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was always on time, super communicative, and clearly very caring with all three of them. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing our pets were in great hands. We’ll absolutely be booking Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter!”

Corwin P.

“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”

Heather R.

“Cassie took such good care of our two dogs while we were out of town and even through power outages over the weekend she still came and took care of them in the dark. Will definitely be booking with her again when needed”

Seth K.

“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”

Danny M.

“Great communication and thorough updates. Showed up when she said and stayed the entire time. Would fully trust her with my puppy again anytime and recommend her to any friends.”

Ashley T.

“Brooke was great! She came to meet the girls a few weeks in advance and the girls loved her right away. Poor Brooke was being tackled by them! Brooke was very responsive and kept us in the loop while we were gone with several photos. Really appreciated Brookes flexibility and willingness to meet out needs. Thanks Brooke and can’t wait to book you again.”

Elisabeth B.

“Christina was great! She dealt with my cat's oral medication needs and chaotic litterbox habits. The kitties were happy and healthy and she left everything very clean and tidy!”

About: I've had dogs ever since I was 10, but my experience with them goes far beyond that. When I was a little kid, before I ever had a dog, I would go to this read with a dog program called "Paws to Read." I would spend countless hours reading to the dogs and befriending them, along with a cat or two here and there. When I was 10, I got my first dog, a husky, and gave him a wonderful life. He had quite a few medical issues and behaved older for his age because of it, so I know how to provide senior pet care. He has since passed, but my two current dogs, one pitbull and one pitsky, remind me every day how important pets are to me. I've had them both for eight years now, during which we've taken numerous car rides, walks, enjoyed outside and inside playtime, movie nights, and anything a dog could dream of. Now, while I've never had a cat because of the majority of my family being allergic, I never turn away from a cat. I'm a regular at the Gem City Catfe, where I play with the cats often and have gone so often that they are comfortable with me. I keep cat and dog treats on me in case I come across a stray, because all cats and dogs deserve to feel some love. I've also dog-sat and house-sat for a few friends before, so I know how to handle situations like pets not getting along, bathroom accidents, and being a bit of a picky eater. Currently, I am a full time student and work full time at UDRI (UD's Research Institute) from 8:30am - 3:30am. During the summer I won't be taking any in person classes, just two online. But when I return to UD for my final year, I will be taking classes again and may be slightly more limited. When it comes to my pets and caring for clients pets, the comfort of the pet is most important to me. Personally, my two dogs don't get along with each other very well, so they typically have to be separated. Even so, I always make sure to treat them both equally and give them lots of love! If I take one for a car ride and ice cream, I bring ice cream back for the other and take the other for a car ride later that week. If my client has dogs similar to mine, who need to be separated, I would be sure to treat them equally and split my time with them according to my client's requests. Given single-pet households, I'd spend a lot of my time with them! In my downtime, I'd make sure to sit with them while I work on coursework. I'd be sure to take them on walks and go for potty breaks. And of course I'd make sure we get a lot of play time in and lots of love!

“Kirsten was super flexible and could meet beforehand to discuss care. Her notes in the Rover card are detailed and I’m so happy I could snag her as my senior dog’s caregiver!”

Taylor F.

“Dorothy was fantastic! The meet and greet went great and she kept in communication the whole time we were gone. She was prompt about making sure the house was secure. Our cat normally roams outside, but she noticed he was hanging out under cars in the front, which is not normal, and she made sure to get him out from under and back inside. She was very nice and very responsible. We will def book her again.”

Kaitlyn W.

“Amanda goes beyond in her level of care and is flexible with my constantly changing schedule. I would be lost without her and my dogs love her. Hire her first!”

Susan C.

“We loved Beth! Dependable, caring and great communication. Rosco was well taken care of. We will definitely have Beth sit for us from now on!”

Stacy H.

“Monroe always goes above and beyond whenever our cats need tending to! It’s wonderful to have someone like Monroe to depend on when we’re gone for long periods!”

“My beloved terriers are, unfortunately, double trouble, and I've been worried that I'd never find a petsitter willing to deal with them. One is a Jack Russell terrier (enough said!), and the other is some kind of chihuahua mix rescue. The rescue is terrified of everything and everybody; Liesa took special care to build trust and assure my rescue that she was safe. My rescue also refuses to walk in wet grass, and it rained the whole time I was away! When it rains, she holds her urine and does her business on the sly on a throw rug. Liesa dealt with the situation beautifully, changing out soiled rugs with clean ones at each visit. I couldn't be more pleased!”

Connie V.

“Kathleen is wonderful. Goes above and beyond. She is professional. Punctual. And most of all my cats love her. So so thankful to have her as a pet sitter”

Tera C.

“We knew our cat was getting the attention and care needed from Alli while we were out of town and appreciated the photos she sent. We really appreciated Alli's flexibility when my original flights were cancelled.”

Ethan B.

“Autumn was so kind and was super reliable! She even came by for a walk through prior to the drop in visit. She was great with my nervous, anxious dog and I definitely recommend her!”
