About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs varying in ages. I understand how important a routine and safety is for both a pet and their parent. Whether it’s taking them out on a walk, giving them medications, or even just keeping them company, I’m here for all. I’m currently unemployed, almost off to college so I’m free basically everyday! I’m open to back-to-back scheduling if that is what you need. We can make anything work. I respect the space and follow instructions easily to keep things clean and secure. I take safety very seriously, whether it’s checking to make sure doors are locked or food and medications are out of reach for the pet.

About: What sets me apart is my love and dedication to each pet. I have experience caring for puppies and senior pets, adapting to their special needs. I always treat each animal as if it were my own, ensuring they feel loved and safe. I'm a student on vacation, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available to care for pets on weekends and weekdays at any time. When I care for pets at my home or the client's home, I ensure they are safe and comfortable. I have a fenced yard where they can play freely, and I'm always attentive to their needs.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and various small animals, I'm well-prepared to look after your beloved pet. As a current owner of two dogs(cockapoo and pitbull), five cats, and two guinea pigs, I'm comfortable with senior pets, administering medications (even to picky eaters!), and doing whatever it takes to ensure your peace of mind while you're away. I currently work a full time job with a block schedule so I know my availability ahead of time. Even on the days I work I am willing to stop by before and/or after work. I am great with late nights as my shifts end at 3AM I am respectful entering my clients home and willing to follow any instructions provided to me. If I am ever unsure about anything I will contact my client to ensure I’m giving their pets proper care.

About: I grew up with animals my entire life from large Newfoundland dogs to cats to bunnies and a hamster. I currently have my own black cat, Edgar, who is the best little guy! I can take care of your pets to best accommodate them! I’m currently a teacher on summer break, so I am here for weekday, day time, afternoon, and evening needs to best accommodate your and your fur babies’ schedules! Edgar loves to play, so I always make sure his automatic cat toy is charged and ready for him throughout the day when I am at work. Once I get home, we play with his favorite string feather toy. I can certainly help keep your pets comfortable and happy!

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have dog sat for neighbors, friends, family members, and more. I have never met a dog that didn't like me. I'm sure your precious pup or kitt will be the same. I am currently a college student. I am free during breaks throughout the school year and the summer! I can slide myself into your furry friend's routine and your vacation plans. Just give me the details. I love to take dogs for walks, play with them and spend time loving them. I will follow their routine because I know how much they will miss you and will keep things as normal for them as possible.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve been around all kinds of animals my whole life, from chickens, hamsters to cats, dogs, and even horses. I’ve helped care for cats and dogs for family and friends in the past, providing feeding, playtime, companionship, and general care. I genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m very patient and understanding, which I think is super important when it comes to pet care (and earning their trust!). I am a college student but I usually only have two classes in the morning, which leaves me free the rest of the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I have a fenced backyard and a super friendly, medium-sized dog, along with a cat who spends most of her day exploring outside. If your pet needs privacy or separate space, I totally understand and have room to accommodate that.

Although I do not have a fenced in yard, there is plenty of space to walk in my neighborhood. I also have one dog who is friendly with other dogs. I am comfortable crating dogs when needed.

About: I’ve had experience working with my own zoo of animals ranging from reptiles, to small animals, to birds, and of course cats. I also have experience with dogs with plenty of experience administering medication to a wide range of animals. I’ve also worked at a kennel for 2 summers walking dogs. As a full-time High School Teacher, my availability opens up significantly in the summers. Lucky for all of us, that’s usually when everyone wants to enjoy the weather! Depending on the situation, I can be very accommodating and flexible for whatever you and your pet needs. My wife and I have our own zoo of animals ranging from reptiles and amphibians, to rabbits, to fish, to birds, and of course cats. While we are getting ready to purchase our first home together before we add a doggy to the mix, I have years of personal experience with dogs, with some professional experience working at a pet inn. Every night I spend at least 30 minutes tending to the care of our various animals, checking in on them and documenting feedings while taking note on any physical changes or abnormalities. The cats of course get more attention and more feedings, usually about 4 small meals spread throughout the day ranging from dry food to various wets foods.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs, big & small for many years! I absolutely LOVE caring for everyone’s pets like they are my own! Feeding, walking, and even a little bit of training is something I have so much fun doing!! I am work full time (3 12-hour shifts) as a registered nurse so the days I work change every week. This gives me 4 days off a week so dog walking/drop in’s fit best in my schedule. I am able to provide multiple walks daily, can easily crate dogs if needed, and can feed pets as instructed. I do not have a fenced in yard.

Susan is a fantastic cat sitter. Our cat felt comfortable and cared for. She spent time with him ensuring he ate, exercised and received scratches and pets. Susan submits daily updates and photos providing the pet owner with reassurance that their pet is doing well. We're so appreciate of Susan.
