About: I’ve been a dog lover as long as I can remember! There are photos to prove it! I have experience with all ages and am eager to learn to ensure your fur babies well being. I’m currently working flexible hour jobs so I have the flexibility to work most hours of the day! My current obligations shouldn’t be a problem. I have one friendly cat living with me and live in an area with great parks in walking distance. If needed I can separate them by placing my baby in a separate room.
“Emily was quick and responsive to a last minute drop in request. She provided a thorough note after her visit letting me know how they spent their time and my pup’s behavior and mood. I appreciate her being so responsive and thorough!”
About: For the last five years, I have worked at zoos, shelters, and sanctuaries with a variety of animals! In the past I have owned reptiles, and I currently own one dog and three cats. Additionally, I usually have at least one foster animal in my care at all times. I understand that each animal is an individual and will adjust my behavior accordingly. I am happy to be active if your dog is a runner, or a couch potato if they're more of a snuggler! I have experience providing medication and special diets. I am currently working with my dog to decrease his reactivity and my cats on harness training! I am more than happy to do any enrichment or training you request with your furry friend! I am currently between jobs and have few set commitments. This allows me to be extremely flexible in my schedule for all your pet care needs! I ensure that in addition to basic necessities, my animals are given physical and mental enrichment each day, whether it's a training session with my dog or a puzzle feeder for the cats. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets!
“Abigail was absolutely amazing! She was wonderful with our two cats and was always very responsive and attentive to ours and the cats' needs! One of our cats suffers from seizures and requires medication at specific times with her feedings. Abigail was always on-time and available to talk during those times. She even went to the extra length of staying with our cats longer than originally requested during the first few meetings with the cats so that they became comfortable with her, eating around her, and playing with her. We hope that any cat-lover and parent has a sitter as awesome as Abigail!”

About: I have been an animal lover since I was born. I have taken care of all types of animals, saving many wild animals, and working with newborns to elderly. I am able to spend all night with animals, making sure to let them out and feed them during the day. I am able to walk animals in the morning or afternoon. I am able to check in on dogs and care for them as much as they need. I am willing to stay overnight with animals that need that extra care.
About: I absolutely love animals and love any chance to spend time with a sweet pup or cat. I have 17 years of pet care experience with my family dog, as well as dog sitting and dog walking with Rover for 3 years. I have watched young and senior dogs, cats, birds, and full gardens and houseplants! I enjoy sending adorable photos to update owners and I live only a few blocks from the river trails, so there is plenty of opportunity for exercise! I currently work part time and I am looking for more ways to get outside and move, so walking your pets fits perfectly into my schedule! I have a nice yard and live close to the river trails for exercise. I love playing with pets and sending lots of pictures to update you. I am familiar with crate-trained pets and I am also okay with pets sleeping on my bed or couch in my home.

Hattie G.
“This trio watched my pup in December for about 9 days and it seemed like my dog was having the time of his life! Like others, I worry that my pup will feel anxious that I’m not there, but Alison, Celeste and Hattie seemed to be able to make him feel right at home. They sent me pictures of him snuggling with them on the bed and having a grand time stalking squirrels out the window! They even sent a cute pic of him with some festive Christmas gear on. Alison, Celeste and Hattie are very responsive and friendly. Since they are roommates, I felt great about leaving my dog with them because he wouldn’t need to be crated much. Between their 3 schedules, someone is almost always at home. I had no trouble scheduling drop off or pick up and will absolutely hire them again!”
