“Erika is very caring, and our shy and timid cats loved her. She has great communication and we were very comfortable leaving our animals in her care. We will trust Erika with our animals again when we need to go out of town.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job looking after my cat Milo. He really enjoyed the attention she gave him. Would highly recommend Rachel! Your pet will be in good hands.”
“Always great communication and willing to a few extras when you schedule is a little haywire. Easy to work with and Lucy is very calm upon our return so we know she is feeling comfy with Chloe. Attention to detail and cleanliness are other factors we love. Will continue to request her services for Lucy as we travel.”
“Christina stopped by to let our German Shepard out while we were out of town. She took great care of our dog and we will definitely book her again for any future dog sitting!”
“Kami communicated very well with us. Our cat seemed happy to have someone pop in on her while we were out of town. She provided photos during her drop in visit, gave her some cuddles, cleaned the litter box, checked the water, and fed her.”
About: I have experience with both older and younger dogs, including dog-sitting rescues and providing overnight care. Messes do not scare me and I am more than happy to keep you in the loop. As a college student, I may be away for hours, but my schedule allows me to attend to tasks between classes. My weekends are a lot more free and flexible. If you have any concerns about this, please reach out. At your home, I will abide by all rules and suggestions, ensuring your pets receive the best care possible. This means feeding schedules, walking routines, overnight stays, and more.
“Very kind and great with kitties! My cat is very kiddish and usually hides from all new people but she LOVED Hannah. Never hid from her even during meet and greet. Hannah definitely has a special touch. Took amazing pictures and great care of my babies.”
“Erin did an amazing job providing a week of drop-in visits for my six cats. I received daily updates and photos. She took the time to look for any cats that were hiding as well as played with the ones that came out to see her. When we got home, there were no messes or litter cleanup to deal with. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again!”
About: I have taken care and been around dogs my whole life. I have taken care of the tiny little puppies that need bottle fed and senior dogs that may need a little extra help or medications in their day! I have completed a 2 year course at Penta Career Center in the Small Animal Care Lab! That gave me extra learning experiences and hands on experiences as well! I currently have no job due to a fire so Im trying to find a way to make money doing something I love rather than something just to fill in for my other job! I can come to your house whenever is needed to get your dog all situated and loved! I can take them on walks, or have fun with them in your home! I can take them out to potty whenever you feel is necessary. I can feed and water them too!
About: I've been taking care of pets my whole life, and gave been helping others for the past 7 years. Providing great care while owners can't be there. I can provide potty breaks and over nights and walks most days. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I can make most times work! I follow instructions to a T when pet sitting. Will ask for clarification if there is any question! I will treat you animals and space as I would mine.❤️
About: I’m a babysitter and have been for 10 years, so not only do I know how to care for a dog, I know how to care for a human. As a college student I constantly miss my dogs at home, and will find joy in any excuse to give a dog attention. I’ve had dogs my entire life. As a college student I am happy to spend the night at places near my school. During weekdays though, I will not always be there. I will and can visit between classes and give your dog all the love in the world in the afternoon or evening after class :) I will make sure your dogs get to keep the routine they have when their family is home the best I can. I love to watch a show or do homework near the dog so I can be available for snuggles. More than happy to take dogs on daily walks, I love the excuse to get outside and get to know your dog!
About: I have been working with pets for many years. I have also lived with dogs my whole life! I love all types of animals! Hire me! I can work anything. I am a night owl so if your animal needs late night care, I am your person! I can come weekends or weekdays I make sure that the animal cannot get into anything that would harm them. I also make sure to let the animal smell me before doing anything as much as pet them
“Hayley was so attentive to our big guy and spent some quality time with him!! It was a relief to know he was well cared for and played with and spoiled while we were away! Highly recommend her as a sitter!!”
About: animals are my entire reason for existence to be honest. i would spend every waking hour with them if i could. i raised a white siberian husky pup who lives with my uncle now because i already have too many animals in my apartment and im scared my landlord is gonna find out lol. the huskies name is lucy and she is my world and she is such a polite lady now and im so proud to say that i’m the one who raised her. i love her so much. i dog sit for my other uncles boxer allll the time and i have for years. his name is nash and he is absolutely INSANE but we love him. i house and dog sit for my neighbors and i have for as long as i can remember. the doggo is a pit bull named apollo and he is such a distinguished gentleman. i literally have pretty much free availability. even if i did have something going on, i will go out of my way to free my schedule for your sweet babies the pets in my home are spoiled beyond extreme and i have no shame in admitting that. they are living their best lives and they know it. i will do everything in my power to make your pets feel loved and cared for, however that may be.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine love for dogs of all sizes. I’ve had the joy of owning two dogs in the past and currently have my own furry companion, Latte, who has taught me even more about patience and care. I’ve provided sitting services for both big and small dogs, and I pride myself on being attentive, responsible, and great at making dogs feel comfortable and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring their daily routines are followed, I treat every dog like my own! I have part time jobs and I am my own Boss so scheduling around them to fit your pups into my schedule is no issue. I don’t personally board animals in my own home as I rent. But my dog and I enjoy going on walks and cuddling whenever we can.
