“Mandi did a fantastic job. Not a single traumatized critter. I can really tell from the pics and my critters’ demeanor, they were cared for lovingly. I cannot recommend Mandi higher! My dog is a teacup who was previously attacked by a pitbull and is weary of new people. Mandi was patient and gentle with Gilbert until she had gained his trust. I am very impressed and pleased with Mandi and will use her again.”
“Susan was fantastic! All of her updates for Charolette were thorough and made me feel at ease that my pup was doing good while I was gone. Would highly recommend Susan as a sitter for anyone’s dogs!”
“From the meet and greet to her last visit with our pups, Kayla was wonderful. She communicated with us during and after every visit, sending us pictures of our fur babies and reassuring us that they were doing well. Our minds were at ease knowing how well they were being cared for, and we came home to two very happy, healthy puppers! Our family highly recommends Kayla, and we will definitely request her help in the future!”
“Katherine was wonderful with our boys! Even our skiddish baby took to her right away and she shared so many pictures of what looks like wonderful playtime. Her care of our boys made it easy to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind that our boys were well cared for! Would absolutely book again. Thank you! ❤️”
“Rylie made daily visits for my 2 cats over Thanksgiving week and was very attentive with excellent attention to detail. Her communication was superb. Would hire again and recommend to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I've had animals since I was little, cats, dogs, reptiles, ferrets, and I've loved them all as if they were my children, specific dietary or exercise needs is no problem for me. A pet to me is a part of the family. I'm currently working part time, available Monday through Friday on most weeks, I'll house sit for up to a week and a half. I currently don't have a license because of covid slowing me down, but I am working on it and someone can drop me off at the location. I have a fenced backyard and my childhood dog had many issues later on in life so dietary or medication is no issue for me. The family dog I have now is the most stubborn dog I have ever met, having to work with him has taught me how to deal with stubborn or slightly aggressive dogs.
“Emily is dependable, professional and takes great videos and pics that makes me feel like I'm there with my fur babies. She immediately bonded with my pets and she took extra care to give them the love and play times that kept them happy throughout the time I was away. She's the best!”
About: I’ve had the absolute joy of being a cat and dog lover since birth.I got my first cat at 2, Rodger and had my childhood dog, Elvis, at 6. As an adult I have two amazing cats, Franny and Watts and take care of 14+ cats in the community. I love taking care of senior cats and cats of all need levels. I work a normal 8:30-5 schedule and some weekends. Able to check in the evening and mornings, use to early morning checks and evening hour+ hangs. In my home cats get daily litter scoop, meds, two feedings a day and ample cuddles. I have cats with severe anxiety and require more care. When watching other’s cats I treat them like they are my own and give them all the love they deserve.
About: I have over 25 years of dog breeding experience and I would love to care for your loved ones in our home. Large home and plenty of running room in our spacious yard. I cannot take care of male dogs over 30 lbs due to a female dog in the household. I can take care of female fur babies of less than 30 lbs. I work from home and have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention he or she needs. Taking care of dogs are my specialty. I have a fenced in yard and a female lab who loves to go for walks and play. Your fur baby will have plenty of friends caring for him or her.
“Shaynna is absolutely amazing! She came to meet the cats and talk about their routine a week before we left for vacation. We were out of town for 10 days, and never worried about our cats. We received daily reports and pictures. Shaynna will be hired again if we go out of town. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of a spectrum of animals, given how well off they were, might as well give this a try! :) From as small as hamsters to as big as Great Danes, I am here to assist! I’m currently working part-time, my schedule is very flexible! Let’s talk more about what we can do! During the daytime is when I am mostly available. But I am not only limited to the daytime. My residence is very spacious, allowing a great safe space for pets! There is also a nearby dog park, a wonderful area for dogs to roam!

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have been taking care of them from a young age. Animals have always been a major part of my life, and the bond I have with them is apparent to animals and humans alike. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and fish, but love all furry, scaly, or feathery friends. I’ve also cared for these animals at all stages of life. Your babies will love being cared for by me, they’ll be loved and cared for just like my own family! My schedule is currently available around the clock, I have availability during the mornings, daytime, and evenings both weekdays and weekends. Contact me today for care! I am available to care for your pets at your home, or take your dogs on walks in the immediate area around your house. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with compassion, care, and attention.
About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs and iguanas. I love all animals and have specific experience with medicating them - both dogs and cats for oral medications. I do know how to give cats SQ fluids as well. I am a nurse by trade. I am very lucky - I work from home and make my own schedule as a supervisor. I am able to give your animals the attention that they require, if they do board with me I will not be leaving for work. I have a 3 bedroom home. I do have the ability to use a baby gate and separate part of the home if your cat and mine did not seem to be getting along. I do allow cats on the furniture, couches, in the bed etc. I want them to be comfy and feel safe. I have big windows and a cat window seat for them to use. My cat is an indoor only cat so your cat will not be tempted to go outside.
