Emily is a very courteous caretaker of pets and the house as well. She is great at reviewing the instructions and asking great questions to make sure she knows what to do during the sit. Her communication is awesome, and she sends great pictures of our kitties while she was watching them! For what it’s worth we have a very shy kitty and after several sits, the kitty has warmed up to Emily which is awesome. if you need someone to overnight and watch your critters and your house, she is definitely someone to consider!

Kali house-sat for us on short notice, and not only did she make time to stop by the day before to meet the pets and get her bearings, she was also so kind and understanding about the long laundry list of needs and quirks when caring for our sensitive senior dog. While we were away, Kali sent pictures and text updates, and we were certain that our pets and home were in good hands. Next time we go out of town, Kali will be our first pick to watch over our pack!

You know that feeling of dread you get when you leave your fuzzy critters behind when on vacation? Well I only had it for a short bit of time as Lorretta contacted me and sent me pictures barely before I even left on the plane to let me know they were all ok. Yes I missed them all very much but I felt at ease knowing they were in her care! Pick Lorretta you shan’t regret it! 🤗

Elizabeth was a great fit for us when we needed someone to watch our older dogs. Kenneling our dogs for this particular trip (Family Memorial) would have been worrisome as our older dog is almost 15. Elizabeth was great to work with and the ease of use of the platform was helpful during a stressful time away. We loved seeing our fur family especially when our hearts were tender. I highly recommend connecting with Elizabeth should you need a fur friend sitter overnight.

About: I have three dogs and a Guinea pig. I have plenty of experience with taking care of pets and love meeting new friendly pets to help out I work full time 8-4 but am available on the weekends and after 4:00 on weekdays. I am also able to accommodate lunch break potty stops if needed I would be unable to take any dogs or cats to my home as we have a full house right now. But I am more than willing to stay in your home or do multiple visits throughout the day

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I grew up with horses, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens. I have done some volunteering at the Cherryland Animal Shelter and have taken some of the dogs on some fun adoption events. I don’t have any pets of my own at this point in my life and would really like to be able to spend time with yours when you want to get away. I like to visit my son who has two dogs, a black lab an American bulldog so I can take them for walks and cuddle up with them. I am single and own my own home so I definitely could bring your dog to my house if necessary. One of my favorite hobbies is walking so I definitely can’t wait to take your dog/s for walks. I am a nurse that works with the electronic medical record and currently working from home.

About: My motto is: "Dogs, kids, and mosquitos love me!" Darned if I know why--must be one of my "superpowers" as they say. I have taken care of senior dogs, most recently for two weeks with Georgia near Bangor, Maine. I spent 3 and a half months with Xander in Berkeley, California. Also a month with Lucy & Charlie (Brown?) in Topanga County, CA. I've also enjoyed being with Toby, Latka, and Sookie in San Diego CA. Plus, Luna and yes, another Luna in Los Angeles. Special skills include a long attention span, creative mind, ability to play for hours, up and at 'em early in morning. Also: laying down with dogs and not waking up with fleas! I am a freelance journalist and author who writes books at home. Thus, I rarely leave the house, except to go to a library to work there. Four tomes so far, working on #5, with animals to be with and love--can't beat it! Xander, Sookie, Toby, Ted, Latka...if only dogs & cats could speak! (Sookie did do some kind of sing-song when I played harmonica...) The key to my care is slowing down and showing enormous patience, using experience, and giving mucho attention to love my fellow creatures enormously.
