1. Caitlin D.
“Our cat is decidedly NOT friendly with strangers so when Caitlin agreed to care for her while we were traveling I wasn’t even sure if she would see our little girl much. Imagine my surprise when I received pictures and videos of our little girl crawling all offer Caitlin and purring like crazy! We aren’t even sure she will care that we’ve returned home! We cannot recommend Caitlin highly enough. She is definitely a cat whisperer!”

12. Samantha S.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, fish, and hamsters since I was a toddler. I used to pet sit for my neighbors and family members from about 10yrs old onward. I’ll walk, cuddle, bathe and play with any type of pets. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter. I also worked at Coyne Vet center for about 2 years. I’m usually available for a walk or drop in visit on week nights and the weekends! I do work in the Crown Point area so I’m mobile. I’m open to in house pet sitting as long as your pet can go about 6 hours alone with me being at work. I always remember that your home is their home. I like to keep your fur babies as comfy as possible. I also try to keep them on their regular routine as if nothing is changing for them.

Maria was wonderful to my dogs and I look forward to using her again in the future.”

She also didn’t get bothered with me texting her every couple hours to check on how she was doing. I wouldn’t of asked for a better sitter while I was out for a couple days. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needed a sitter because she’s definitely great at her job.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was about age ten. I see animals as part of the family as my pets have been some of my greatest companions over the years. As an educator, I am home full time for the summer months until early August. Once school begins, I am available late afternoons and evenings. I have two crates, one small for cats and one midsize for dogs. I can crate your dog if needed. I have a small room that they can sleep in to give them privacy. I enjoy walking pets and caring for them daily.

“Alyssa did a terrific job providing care for my two cats while I was away. She made herself available for a meet & greet and took notes regarding details on their food & water needs, treats, toys, etc. She was incredibly friendly and seemed eager to meet the cats and learn of their needs. Alyssa was reliable, punctual, and provided thorough updates. I would absolutely consider her for pet care again would recommended her with full confidence.”
