Satara did an awesome job watching my cats. She kept me informed of when she’d be over to take care of them. One of the cats threw up in the kitchen and she kindly cleaned it up. I greatly appreciate Satara’s service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Brian took great care of my cat and my plants while I was gone, and was very good about communicating with me. I plan on continuing to use him as a sitter.

This is my second time asking Megan to watch my dogs when we work long hour shifts and when I get home they are exhausted! I can really tell they enjoy it a lot and I can actually tell they get a lot of exercise. I will continue to ask Megan to take care of my dogs because I feel like she is a person that I can really trust, especially since November has a lot of anxiety and over excitement all the time but she knows how to handle it and I’m thankful for that☺️

This was the first time I was away from my cats for that long and I felt at peace knowing August was there taking care of them and giving them some love. Very professional! Would definitely book with August again in the future!

About: I grew up with cats from the time I was 6 years old. I love animals of all kinds and have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, and more. I have a calm and quiet temperament and I've been told that animals warm up to me quickly. I have years of experience taking care of pets in their own home while their owners are away. This is good for them, because pets are usually more comfortable staying in their own home, where they can enjoy the scent of their owners, the familiar setting and routine, their toys, and their favorite sleeping spots. Home is where they feel safe and secure. I started pet sitting after chronic pain and fatigue made it impossible for me to continue working at my previous job. This means that I have ample time to spend with the animals I'm taking care of, as I'm typically at home most or all of the day. I'm able to care for pets any day of the week, and I schedule meetings with pet owners Monday through Saturday. I provide care for pets in my client's home. I can also take care of household tasks such as bringing in the mail and watering plants.

As well as Animal Psychology, Veterinary Support Assistant, and Animal Grooming. I could not imagine a life without pets, growing up with pets of all kinds, I have a deep love and understanding of the patience, time, and love that goes into any pet and how they complete a home. I look forward to meeting any new pet and sharing my time with them, getting to know who they are.

I have standard weekends at home. Evenings I am at home. For boarding, I have a enclosed/fenced dog area. With seasonal shade cover over a portion of the dog area. It is directly attached to my patio and both the dog area and patio are contained with tall fencing to mitigate other animals from entering the area. We do slow introductions with any guest pets and my own pups as I know it can be overwhelming at first for each party. My pups are very friendly with other pets and love to run around and play once everyone gets acclimated.

About: I'm just a college student looking to make your best friend, my best friend (temporarily of course).

I'm a versatile caregiver, willing to do anything from long walks or runs around the neighborhood, to cuddling long hours on the couch, to receiving lots of sloppy kisses. Whatever makes your dog happy, I'm here to do it! I'm also here to keep your dog as safe as possible. I know your dog is one of the most important parts of your life, and when I'm with them, they are the most important part of my life as well. Let me be the one to keep your dog happy and safe.

Olga was a lifesaver for my baby girl Venus. She was walked (gave attention), food & water refilled on drop in visits. Olga sent pics so I knew Venus was good. I came home to a happy dog and will definitely book again!
