“So fortunate to have found Khalliah as a pet sitter! She takes such good care of our kitties and her updates always put us at ease. She takes time for play time and treats as well as feeding and cleaning. Thank you so much Khalliah!”
“Devon was fantastic with our cats, including administering oral meds for one of our babies. She is consistent, reliable, and genuinely cares for and loves engaging with animals. I trust her to care for the animals as we do. We are so lucky to have someone as dedicated, reliable, and kind as Devon for our kitties!”
“Amanda has been amazing! She’s done a couple of drop-ins for me to give my cat her medication, and did a long weekend stay at my house. She left my place in the same state it was in when I left, and provided updates at the end of each visit.”
About: I adore animals more than people ? It’s probably true ! They provide therapy unconditional love and they deserve the best care and cuddles when they are not with their family I work full time but I can check on pets before work after work and weekends I am flexible I work in the medical field so compassion is my thing! I would care for your pet the same way that you care for them. I’d try to keep their schedule the same. I’d provide food , water, treats, potty love and cuddles
“Kellee did a fantastic job with our kitties. Followed the feeding instructions. They can be difficult since one of our kitties is 19. She went over and above and brought in our mail. We will hire her again.”
About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.
About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals since I was 12! I have two cats and two dogs of my own and have taken care of the animals of my friends and family reliably for years. I love all animals and have even taken care of chameleons, lizards, and ducks! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have a lot of availability for your animals! I can do both housesitting and drop in visits, and would be happy to spend time with your animals on weekends or weekdays! When watching animals, I am always sure to clarify all of their needs and schedules! I have experience in giving both cats and dogs medications, and would be happy to learn the specifications of your animals!
About: I have walked dogs of all different sizes, ages & breeds. I have also administered medications ( oral & topical ), changed bandages. I've loved animals my entire life & my client's pups/pets become "my" pets..in other words, I love them like they were my own. * I prefer to do "Meet & Greets" with potential clients and their pets prior to taking the "job", so not only do I and the pets get to meet, but the pet parent(s) & I can also meet & discuss any schedules, routines, etc. as well as go over any questions. I want to not only be comfortable with them, but I want the pet parent(s) & of course, the pets, to be comfortable with me as well. P.S. I’ve worked in many horse barns in my 20’s, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help ( even if it’s a one time thing :) I’m pretty available due to being on Social Security ( due to a major car accident in 2009), so I do this to not only supplement my income but because I love animals & it also helps me in multiple ways ( mentally, physically, etc.) I treat your home like my home in the sense that I become protective of the space ( & pets of course), I don’t like random people showing up/trying to enter the home without my hearing Directly from the homeowner. After I’m familiar w/ the way things typically are ( ex. what vehicle(s) are routinely there/not there then a “random” vehicle is suddenly there, I will be suspicious & notify the pet parent/home owner right away to make sure it’s ok to be there).
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs for the majority of my life. Most recently I’ve had a black lab and a shepherd/beagle mix. I currently have one cat who is over 20 years old. I’ve taken excellent care of my pets and treat all animals as if they are my own! I look forward to working with you! I work full-time and I am currently available for weekend care! I would be more than happy to take care of your pet while you get away for the weekend. I make sure the animal is well fed, clean and brought outside in a safe environment. I am excellent at following instructions given by the owner and would care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Caroline was great while watching our kitties while we were on vacation. I could truly relax and enjoy myself as I knew they were in good hands with Caroline. She sent picture updates throughout the week which always put a smile on my face. She even vacuumed and washed the sheets before we got home—Completely unexpected but very much appreciated!! We will definitely be using Caroline’s services when we go out of town next.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always been a very empathetic person and just love to wave and say hi to dogs going by. I've had dogs of all sizes. My most recent is experience with Chihuahuas. I just love them! I've raised 2 dogs from 8 weeks old. I love all stages of a dogs life, from puppy to senior. I also have experience with senior dogs who need special care and medication. I'm currently working for myself, so I have plenty of time to spend playing, caring, loving and walking with your pets. I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have owned dogs, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. Currently I own 2 cats with my partner named Rebel and Scout. Growing up my family dogs have included lhasa apsos, dandie dinmont terriers, a german shepherd, and a golden lab. I have experience sitting all types of dogs so whether you have a small medium or large dog, i am comfortable with all sizes. I also was an American Kennel Club junior handler for five years and during that time I showed my lhasa apsos. I have assisted with 4 four litters of lhasa puppies and am experienced with house training, puppy training, care etc. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them and look forward to the opportunity to become a friend to your precious pets! :) I am currently a homemaker, and am fortunate to have some flexibility! Just let me know the times/days you need. M-F preferred weekends are negotiable! My preference is to take care of pets at clients home. It is difficult to have other animals inside with the cats however I do have a fenced in area in my yard I can offer for them to be in!
About: I am a registered nurse looking for some extra work this summer! (Other than being stuck in a hospital all day). I truly love animals more than people and would be honored to spend some extra time with yours:) I've spent most of my life babysitting and dog sitting for friends and family and would love to branch out for the summer! I work two days a week as a registered nurse. I have plenty of time on my hands that I'm looking to spend doing something I love! I have two dogs of my own that I pour my heart and soul into. I would provide loving and reliable care in any way you desire for your pets!
“Nicolina did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation! Our cat sometimes has accidents outside the litter box when we are away and Nicolina had no issues cleaning it up. She also vacuumed around the litter box! She was even able to water our outdoor plants while we were away. Nicolina did an amazing job and we will definitely use her again!”
