“Benjamin took great care of my 2 cats. He always sent a picture, whether of the cats (if he saw them), or of a full food and water bowl. He also checked in to let me know the cats were doing well. I absolutely recommend him and would have him watch my cats again!”
“Morgan did an amazing job with our cat, Stella! He was able to accommodate us on short notice and was a complete professional throughout the whole process. We were so nervous leaving our cat at home, but Morgan went above and beyond to gain Stella’s trust and build a connection with her. Normally, Stella is very shy but Morgan was patient and eventually coaxed out her true personality. We received lots of pictures and videos for each visit, including lots of action shots! He will definitely be our go to guy for cat-sitting moving forward. Stella will certainly miss him until then!”
“Amanda was a wonderful kitty sitter. She was very attentive to all kitties, providing extra attention to a senior kitty. Followed feeding and cleaning instructions carefully. Very trustworthy and reliable.”
“My cat rarely warms up to people and Crystals photo updates show him all over her :) This is our second time working with Crystal and her updates and visits ease the separation anxiety when you have to leave your pet. I highly recommend working with her!”
“Myra let me know exactly what Harmony was doing or had done. Harmony doesn’t like strangers and yet twice Harmony let Myra pet her for a quick minute. I was also concerned about her eating….she’s an old cat and at times, even with me, she won’t eat. Myra always took pictures of of her food and water bowls. And that made me feel more at ease. Myra let me know immediately that one day she was going to a little bit later….which I was absolutely okay with. It was though very appreciated that she let me know. If I ever need to leave Harmony again I will have Myra again.”
“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while we were away. She sent me pictures everyday and a message on how they were doing. Sara has a special something because my cats usually run off when someone pulls up to the house. Not when Sara showed up. She even pet my super shy cat. Thank you Sara for taking such good care of them. I could relax in my vacation.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My mom breeds old English puppies, with that I get a lot of hand on experience with puppies. That means training them,taking care of them etc. I will treat your pet as if they are my own and make sure you and your pet are satisfied. I’m currently working part-time but with my excellent time management skills, I will be able to care for your pets and mine as well weekly. If I’m staying at a clients house I am very mindful and respectful of their home. I make sure to clean up after my self and make sure to get the animals outside as much as I can. When I just have to walk them I make sure to keep them on a leash and be aware of the surroundings
“Sam did an awesome job watching our kitties while we were away on vacation. He sent us updates and cute pics of them while we were away which was above and beyond. I definitely recommend him! Thanks so much!”
About: I have always loved dogs and had my own, but I started caring for other people’s dogs at around 13 years old. In early 2022, I started working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility I currently work at, and I am now a manager there. I am responsible for feeding, bathing, administering medication, playing with and cleaning up after dogs of all different breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes, and I couldn’t be more passionate about my job. I currently work full time (at a dog kennel), and my schedule is consistent but switches days every week. I know my schedule very far out in advance so it should be easy to work with! I have 2 dogs at home that are well trained but not very friendly with other dogs, so at home boarding does not work for me. However, at your home, I can work with whatever system you have going for your dogs already, whether that be a crate training system or something different. I have plenty of experience from my current job and can meet all the needs you and your furry friend need to be satisfied:)
About: I have 10 plus years of dog experience in kennels, personal care, and volunteering at the animal shelter. Looking for new clients and furry friends! Please book with me, you will not regret it! I work part time, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability to fit in a walk or check in with your cute furry friends! I will listen and respect all rules to be followed with your animal. I know how important it is to feel like your dog is being taken care of! They’re truly a part of the family!
“She was absolutely amazing with our doggies! This was my first time getting a sitter while we were away, and I was a bit nervous at first. One of our dogs has Addisions and needs medications daily for life. He also does not respond well to stress, including us leaving him for extended periods of time. But at our first meeting I just knew I could trust her with our doggies and our home. She even rearranged her schedule when one of my dogs kept having accidents overnight. And in the end, she found a schedule that worked great for them all! I really can't speak highly enough of her! I will definitely be scheduling ahead of time to make sure we can have her pet sit in the future!”
About: I have a genuine love for all animals and perhaps a special affinity towards man’s best friend! I have had the pleasure of taking care of and owning animals of various kinds throughout the entirety of my life, from cats and dogs, to ferrets and bunnies! I am able to offer basic puppy training, senior dog care/disabled dog care and also administer medicines. Follow our journeys at themanyminiadventures on IG. I work part-time and am the caregiver for my mother since a bad accident in November of last year and have time to walk, play with, feed and take care of your animal’s needs throughout the day, week or even over the weekend! I enjoy getting to know & have fun with different pups and genuinely understand how important it is to leave your fur babies in good hands. My schedule is very flexible for pup-sitting, spending time with your fur babies and giving them adequate playtime and potty opportunities outside. I treat your fur babies like they’re our fur babies while they are here with the exception of following their diet and your specific instructions. We also: walk dogs on a leash. have extra crates if needed. allow dogs outside time for play in a fenced in part of the yard with the pup friends they came with or solo. provide potty and exercise walks while leashed to allow for new scents as well. Feed pups separately unless they came together and we have been notified they eat well together by the owner(s). have additional sleeping blankets and puppy bedding when needed. notify you immediately in the case of any abnormalities/concerns or emergencies. provide you with pictures and updates over the course of your pup’s stay.
