“Danyelle is the first pet sitter that I've hired, and she met and exceeded my expectations. She followed my instructions and gave thorough updates while I was away. My cats and rabbits were well-cared for, including my senior cat and sassy bun. I really appreciated her openness; her love of animals and professionalism make her a great choice. I will hire her again, and highly recommend her!”
“Tia's such a lifesaver for us when we need to leave our cats at home. We really appreciate how conscientious and caring she is with our pets and also any additional tasks we ask her to do while we're gone. It's great to know everything is in good hands when we're away.”
“Sydney was great with Jax and Gemma. They can be very excitable but after being away and cared for by Sydney they were calm when we arrived home. She was very communicative while we were away and I could tell by the pictures she sent that they enjoyed having her look after them! I couldn’t have asked for anything more from a sitter and will definitely be booking her if we go away in the future!”
“We've used Lizzie numerous times to watch our 5 cats. They are on 3 different foods and fed in 3 separate rooms. 😅 She takes care of our babies flawlessly despite how high maintenance they are. Love her!”
About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.
About: I started caring for animals when I rescued my dog bean! She has taught me a LOT! Thanks to her I know how to manage dogs who are reactive. I'm also pretty good at keeping my footing if your 60lb pup decides to pull. All dogs deserve love is my motto. I also have experience caring for exotics! I've rehabilitated a bearded dragon and Russian tortoise in the past. I own tarantulas so I'm not afraid of any creepy crawlies either. Most of my availability will be on weekends but my schedule changes all the time so just ask! I'm normally pretty flexible so I'll try to fit you in, even if you ask same day. I can't bring your pet to my home unless it is a small caged pet but I'm happy to visit your home. I'm willing to do overnight stays or just pop in to give your pet a potty break and a walk. I'll always respect your home as if it was my own and your pets wellbeing will always be my highest priority.
About: I have experience with dogs from any age and any breed and temperament. I am also knowledgeable on giving medication (both oral and via injection). In the summer, I work part-time during the days (anywhere from 9am to 5pm), however when my college classes start up in the fall, I have much more time to spend with your pets! Before each stay, for both my and your comfort, I tend to plan a meeting to get to know your animal and your space better! I find that in person meetings with pets before housesitting exponentially improves the quality of the experience for both me and your furry friend. Complicated instructions/"trouble" animals don't deter me, either. I will play, feed, walk, and clean up after your pet for as long as needed!
About: My family got a dog while I was in high school, and I’ve been hooked since. My family’s first dog is 12 years old, and I currently have 4 dogs, all husky mixes. I work weekdays from 7 am - 5 pm. I am able to accommodate your pet before and after work as much as necessary. I am off on weekends. I offer walks, drop ins, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My house is full with 4 dogs of my own so I do not board. Your fur baby is my priority! I’m very attentive to animals, their moods, and their needs.
About: I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, fish, hermit crabs, tarantulas and many other types of pets of my own (cats and dogs my whole life) as well as cared for friends and family's pets since I was a little kid. I also volunteered at many local animal shelters in my late teens. I also have experience with different types of special needs animals; mostly cats in that aspect. (Paralyzed, deaf, blind, epileptic, diabetic and tri-pod) My daily and weekly schedule changes with my regular work schedule and my kids school schedule, but I am typically available during day time hours on weekdays, most likely at least one available night time drop-in available and can make myself available on Saturdays, if need be. Your pet will be more comfortable in an familiar environment such as their own home, so I would prefer to see them in their own home. I ask you leave a note somewhere prominent (i.e. kitchen table or counter) with quick point reminders of food/water bowl locations, food locations, treats, and any special reminders such as medications w/ times. I will take time to get to know your pet, play with them if they like or pets, loves snuggles... It's really all about what your pet wants/needs from me! I will also have my 14 year old daughter along to help care for your pet(s). Between the two of us we can run your whole zoo if you'd like!! We can do walkies for pets that need a little extra excersize. Shopping trips to pet-friendly local areas/shops/parks if wanted/permissible!
“Sophie really went above and beyond caring for our sweet babies. I was really worried about leaving 4 cats for 17 days but she put me at ease right away. Providing pictures and updates. She even helped us with an ant problem she noticed in the kitchen. When I got home my cats did not seem stressed like they usually do when left alone, they also seemed very well cared for. I would absolutely book Sophie again.”
“April was amazing! She really helped us out on short notice and on a holiday weekend. Piper was happy and healthy and not anxious at all when we got back! Would definitely book again.”

She followed the care instructions and communication was top notch leaving me with great confidence that my kitties were well taken care of so I could enjoy my trip. Without her I would have worried about my babies the whole time. Five stars🤩!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs of friends and neighbors for years, including my sister and roommate's dog for 5 years.

I am also willing to spend long periods of time walking, playing, and just hanging out with your dog. I am very flexible for whatever their needs may be!
