“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of my pet Callie! She was very quick, responsive, and gave detailed feedback of how my cat was doing. Would definitely recommend her and use her to petsit again!”
“This is my third time using Nicole and she always lets me know how my cat is doing. This last visit he broke into the cabinet and broke his ceramic treat jar. She immediately let me know, cleaned it up, and made sure he was okay after.”

About: I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a young child. I routinely keep my family and friend’s animals while they are busy or just for fun! I am currently a work from home parent with plenty of time to give your baby the one-on-one time they need! Extra lovings and playtime is taken serious 😊 In your home I will diligently work with your animals the way that you need me too! I cannot wait to meet you and your baby.
“Rachel was a great sitter. Our finicky cat let her pet her and even ate treats out of her hand!! Rachel took the time to love on our little girl!!”

About: I was a dog mom for close to 15 years so I am familiar with all stages from puppy to senior dog. I've also fostered and cared for dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I understand it is hard to leave your pet and am happy to help provide that needed care in the hours you are away to make it easier for both pet and human! I'm am teacher on summer break and can pop in for feedings, visits, and walks as my schedule allows! During the school year my availability will change some and I will update my profile to reflect this. I will be sure to follow the guidelines and instructions you provide for your pet. I know care can be very specific an I am a detail oriented person that will be sure to follow the care routine you prefer.
“Nicole did a GREAT job taking care of our cat Rosie while we were away. She was prompt and attentive, let us know what was going on every day, and knew just how to interact with Rosie. Nicole is highly recommended!”
About: Growing up, we always had animals in the house- cats and dogs and I would help care for them. My dog was sick and I would stay up with him and take care of him and make sure he was well cared for. I also volunteered at the local animal shelter as I was growing up. This past year my roommate had 2 puppies that I helped take care of and helped to train. I also have house and pet sit for people in my church and really enjoyed getting to do that service for them. In college, I was a pre-vet major and I love taking care of and spending time with animals! I would love the opportunity to care for and give your animals the additional attention and love they need:) I also have 2 cats and love them so much- hope to get a dog soon! I have full availability and am able to walk your pet, stay in your home, and anything and everything in between. I have full availability and love to walk animals, play with them, etc. I am extremely flexible and work at home at the moment and love to be active with pets! I have 2 indoor cats at home and they have 2 water fountains, a regularly cleaned litter box, a cat tower and all the love and toys they could have! I would care for any pets as if they were my own!
“Jordan did a great job taking care of our cat and keeping us updated while we were away for a week+. Always recommend!”
“Madison’s experience at the vet gives our family such confidence that we can leave our dog in the best of hands. Her knowledge on how to handle “skiddish” dogs was perfect for our animal. She’s always on time and dependable. Boba loves her and that’s the most important thing to us. I would 100% recommend her to watch any type of animal you have.”
About: Hi! My name is Kierstyn. I'm an experienced vet tech with knowledge of how to handle healthy pets, medically complex pets that require medications, and emergencies if they were to happen. From my work experience I know that some pets do much better in their own home rather than in a boarding facility or having to be watched at someone else's home and I would love to be able to allow the pet for feel more safe and comfortable by allowing them to stay in their own home. I currently work full time. If you prefer for me to stay in your home then I'll let your pet out/walk/ check on them and feed them in the mornings and in the evenings. I am typically able to check on them during the middle of the day and let them out/ walk them then too however sometimes work does not allow this. If I do drop ins I will do them early in the morning, before 7:30, if possible then I will check on them between 11:30am and 1:30pm, between 5:30 and 7:30 pm, and between 8:30-10pm if requested. All care would be provided at your home. This is because I feel like most pets are most comfortable in their own space. I will ask for detailed instructions on how you'd like your pet to be let out/ walked and specific feeding/ medicating instructions. I will be happy to stay in your home or just do drop ins throughout the day, whichever you prefer.
