“Leslie went above and beyond checking in on our kitties and our dog while we were away. She made sure everyone had water and treats and even checked a few other things around our home. We got pictures and an update each day as well. We will definitely be utilizing Leslie in the future to help care for our animals when we're away!”

“Megan was great with our dogs. Made leaving them for the weekend easier. She was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. Her visits were long and played with them constantly. Would definitely use her again. Thank you!”

“Liv was so understanding and patient with my dog, Poppy, and was really flexible and reliable! She was willing to stop by two times so Poppy could get to know her before her drop in visits, which I really appreciated. Poppy is deaf and can be a little high energy but Liv was awesome with her, sent lots of pictures and updates, and Poppy loves her!”

“Cassidy has cared for our cats twice, and has done an excellent job each time. She’s very responsive, checks in often and sends us pictures of our fur babies when we’re away. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

About: I've loved animals of all kinds ever since I can remember and have always had pets while growing up and since, including dogs, cats, parakeets, turtles, rabbits and fish. I can't imagine not having animals as part of my family. We currently have a dog and six cats. My dog, who is part Jack Russel Terrier, was a puppy when we adopted him, so it was necessary to house-train him, which I was able to accomplish in just a couple of weeks. I don't know if it was my technique or just that he was very smart! I recently retired from full-time work and can devote lots of time to my dog & cats. I try to stick to a routine, though, similar to the one I had when I had a job: scooping the litter boxes in the morning & evening and feeding twice a day. My dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes so he requires an insulin injection after each meal, which needs to be very consistently timed. My dog has never been the type to want to run off on his own. We live in the country far back from the road but, because he won't even go outside unless I go with him, a fence or restraint isn't needed. However, I have lived in cities where having dogs on a leash was necessary so I have experience with that - having walked 3 dogs at once at times in the past. I would never let someone else's dog outside without a leash, tie-out, or fenced in yard. My cats stay indoors to keep them, as well as, the birds and other wildlife safe but, if a client's cat is allowed outdoors, I will do as they wish.
About: I am a certified veterinary technician with over a decade of experience in the field. I have been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years and have been pet sitting for almost just as long. From XS-XXL, I am comfortable providing care to all! I am able to provide basic care services to high level care (handicapped and special needs patients) for any age range. I am also comfortable administering prescribed medications to pets, including injectable medications. I am able to make almost any schedule work, early mornings and late evenings are not a problem for me— I know having a routine can be very important! I do not plan on pet sitting at my home, but in the event that I do, I do have a fenced in yard that has a separate entrance to my home.
“Again, we left our two babies in Julia’s hands! She was great and went above and beyond for us! Highly recommended for anyone needing a hand watching your animals. We will definitely ask for her help again.”

About: I grew up working on a tiny farm, and assisted in kenneling dogs for my mother’s business for 7 years. I’ll take care of yours as they were my own, I currently have two bulldogs🥰 a chinchilla & a gecko. I’ve had both large dogs (Mastiffs) & tiny so the size & slobber is never an issue! I would love kind & re-occurring clients 💜 I do have a full time job, where I work typically until 3pm daily. So I am open to late afternoons & evenings. And if I am off then -any time of day. I will come to your home where your pet/pets are comfortable. I recommend a meet and greet prior. To make sure we are compatible, And can go over everything so I can be the best temporary pet parent.
About: I grew up in a pet friendly family, including multiple dogs and cats. I have always had high expectations of pet sitters I hire and would live up to those expectations caring for others pets as well. I have two years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, friends of family, as well as with giving medication to pets (and I an a quick learner to any additional instructions). My goal is to ensure that I care for and treat your pet/family member in the same manner or better than you would yourself! I typically have pretty open and flexible availability. This includes mornings, midday, and evenings if/when possible or needed. My availability starts at 8:30 AM and ends at 10:00 PM. I’m going to respect your pets needs and the way in which you ask for your pet to be cared for. I’m mindful of the fact that every pet has their own personality and their owners do too! Maintaining your pets safety and making sure they feel as comfortable as possible in your absence is a top priority.
About: I've worked in vet med for over four years. I've owned animals my whole life and currently have four of my own critters (one dog and three kitties). I currently work part time while going to school. My schedule is a bit different every day of the week, so please let me know what you need and we can make a plan! I have a ton of experience with cats and dogs, both in my personal life and my professional life. Because I'm an experienced vet tech, I'll be able to recognize any concerning signs with your pets while you're away, and I'm trained to give medications if needed (oral, topical/ears, injectable).
About: I have taken care of a variety of pets since I was 14 years old. I grew up around dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, birds of many kinds and my family bred labradors. My husband and I have had our own pets for the last 17 years. Our pets are our family and taken very well care of. Everyone who knows us, knows that we spoil every animal we see.

“Jana did a great job with looking after our cat, Sook. She was very accommodating with our cat, who suddenly and unexpectedly became unwell. She very kindly looked after him and cleaned up after him, and even came in for an extra visit on short notice when we were really concerned. She gave us lots of updates and pictures and became a real friend to our cat—it seems like he has truly bonded with her. We can’t thank Jana enough for her love and care for our cat!”

“So happy that I found Abbie! She did an awesome job checking on/taking care of my kitty Milo while I was on travel. She followed all my instructions and even spent extra time with him to give him some love. I also appreciated how detailed Milo’s River Card was and the pictures! I will definitely book with her again! Thanks Abbie! :)”
