“Good communication. When my flight was delayed, Jen was very helpful & accomodatingvwith staying with the dogs an extra couple hours. She sent me text with pics while I was gone.”
“Jayson helped us out last minute and I couldn’t be more appreciative. We were on vacation and he came to our camper and watched our dog for us while we were gone most of the day. Communication was great as well.”
About: Hello! I've loved and cared for animals my entire life! From cats to cows and hamsters to horses! Family and friends alike have entrusted me with their precious furbabies! I would be honored if you would as well! As a healer, photographer and self-proclaimed artist I can open up and accommodate almost any situation you may find yourself in! Including spur of the moment plans and ( God forbid- emergencies!) While at this time I am not offering in home care I can offer my services any where from multiple daily visits to overnights in your home where I will maintain any structured care/ patterns you have in place ! I will clean up / remove any of your precious pets " gifts " including regular cleaning of litter boxes, pads etc
About: I know that a pet misses its family when they are away. They should be treated as if they are being cared for by a nannny, just like children are. I love to spend time with them by playing, walking, taking a car ride to the park, or just petting/brushing. I am employed by the Escanaba school system so I only work the days school is in session and have mostly a free summer. I am done at school by 3:30 and have most evenings and weekends free. I am able to spend the night (or longer) in your home if that is what you need. I have just relocated back to Escanaba to be near family. My new housing does not allow me to have pets in my home and I am missing the love that pets freely give. Taking good care of your family pet will be of benefit to us both…you will dependable care that you can trust and I can get my playtime, exercise, and snuggles!
“Ryan gets an A+. All the things you want in a sitter - on time, courteous, friendly without fawning, great listener - an all-in-all excellent experience. We rescued our two a few months ago, and this was their first experience of being without at least one of us [reallly sensitive after a BAD previous adoption]; it couldn't have gone better. Although somewhat leery of strangers, they wormed up to Ryan within 5 minutes. He was understanding and caring with them, and our worries disappeared. We will have him again (if we ever leave the house!).”
“Heather did an amazing job to taking care of my dogs while I was away. She gave updates during her visits to the house. She even offered to take my pup to a visit because he got a small cut . I definitely recommend Heather for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have a little pup of my own, and raised her from when she was a puppy. Have been surrounded with dogs and cats my whole life, and understand the struggle of busy life, and wanting to give your critters the loving they deserve. I am free most nights after 5:30pm, so if you need that late night care, or a evening walk, I’m free. Sundays I’m free all day, so perfect for a day out on a walk. My dog is a runner, so I’m cautious with dogs who like to bolt out the door, I’ll keep them safe and within the boundaries you want them. Their safety is #1. Whatever you do with your dog, for discipline and safety, I’ll abide by that too. Consistent parenting for the doggies.
