“Heather took care of my two kitties and did an amazing job! She followed all the instructions for their feeding schedules and kept the litter boxes clean. I look forward to working with her in the future!”
“I’m always freaked out when I have to go out of town and leave my Winnie behind. But Emily is awesome with my skittish little cat and the pictures show me that Winnie is doing really well- eating, drinking water, enjoying getting brushed! I’m truly grateful to Emily for loving my baby girl so well!”
About: I currently am going to school for Ecology and Conservation Biology with an emphasis on animal behavior. I have 10+ years of pet care experience and specifically, with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I have a 6 year old Rottweiler and two cats currently, but also grew up with cats, a Dachshund, and other breeds of dogs. I raised and trained my dog from a puppy and I would work on skills with younger dogs or any dogs in need of training reinforcement at the owners request! Note: I am moving out of the area in September! I am generally available in the afternoons after 3pm on most weekdays, pending work tempo. If our dogs get along, would love to bring my pup along for a walk as well. Weekends I am generally open unless something is already planned! I unfortunately don’t have the space to accommodate more than my own dog at my home. However, drop-in visits and walks will always be tailored to your dogs needs.
“Beth did amazing with our highly needy and extremely anxious Cat. She spent time with him and was very patient to work with him in a way where he felt safe and comfortable with a new human in his space. We are very thankful for her and her patience and quality care for our one of a kind, pet! We highly recommend her and cannot thank her enough!”
“Katie is a true animal person. She is very responsible and caring to your pet. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. She does a great job and your pets will love her too.”
“Madison was incredible! Very communicative, arrived on time and stayed the entirety of her booking, and sent me photos every day. My cat is very shy but Madison was patient with her. She was also flexible and that allowed me to extend my vacation knowing my kitty was in good hands.”
“I'm so thankful to Ava for watching and attending to our Maine Coon. She's extremely dependable and trustworthy. Knowing that our Niki is in good hands while we're on travel is invaluable.”
“Dejah took excellent care of our two cats. She was very communicative and always responded quickly to messages. She provided great updates each day and clearly cared for our cats as if they were her own. We will happily ask Dejah to look after our cats in future.”
About: I love animals and have hands-on experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs. I’m dependable, gentle, and treat every pup like my very own ! I’m currently a student, and on the days I don’t have classes—Tuesday’s, Thursday’s ,and Sundays—I have full flexibility to spend quality time with your pup. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help on the days I’m class-free. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! As a dedicated pet caregiver, I prioritize both safety and comfort while caring for your pets in their home. I ensure the environment is safe by keeping hazardous items out of reach and securing gates or doors to prevent escapes. I stick to your pet’s routine, providing regular meals, walks, playtime, and companionship to maintain a sense of normalcy. Whether it’s administering medication, offering extra love, or just being there for your pet, I strive to create a calm and secure atmosphere. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
“Arem is great, he took care of my dog every Tuesday, and Thurs. Arem is quick to respond to messages, is a nice nice person. He was very kind to my dog, and always on time. Don’t hesitate to use him.”
“Jamie took such great care of our cat during our travels. She was able to keep our girl loved, happy, and on schedule with her medication. We were so happy with how well cared for Lazuli was and will absolutely reach out to Jamie again in the future!”
“overall, good person to watch my cat. I think there was some confusion as to how long I had initially hired for each visit. I had a lot of apprehension, leaving my cat alone overnight for the first time the pictures in the communication helped a lot.”
About: I've raised a son, daughter, a rottweiler, a shih-tzu, two entitled cats, and I've trained young professionals to be leaders. I've left the corporate world and my children have grown. I have a lot of time and love to give, and I'd prefer to give them to animals. I work from home and am available to help those who don’t. I love being in the energy of animals, and have yet to meet one that didn't like mine in return. Trust and rapport is incredibly important for your pets, for you, and for me. I'd love to be sure we are a good fit for each other with a quick meet and greet before you entrust me with your furry babies and your home.
“This was our first experience leaving our two large breed dogs at home, and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving and attentive sitter for our boys! Maddie was excellent at communicating and updating us while we were away and we will not hesitate to reach out to her in the future because we know our fur babes are in the best hands!”
