“Shiloh did a wonderful job keeping care of our furry family members. They were very happy and content with her. She communicated well and sent great pictures. I highly recommend Shiloh!”
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.

“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!!”
“Christine always makes me feel that she cares as much for my pets as of they were hers!! I feel perfectly safe leaving them in her car no matter what!!”
“Thanks Nicole for the pictures of Mai they was very nice and cute pictures it looks like Mai was having fun with you and it was nice having someone stop by to spend time and play with her while we was gone.”
“She was reliable and was not rushed in her visits to check on pets. Good communication to what was going on and sent pictures every time she visited. She was a trooper No fault of Nicole-Our elderly dog took a turn for the worse so she had to clean up some messes. We will consider her again if we need help in the future. I would recommend her.”
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.

“Monica communicates so well, is so kind and thoughtful! I have a reactive dog so I am always nervous with new sitters but she took my concerns seriously and took extra care with our reactive dog. Monica even went the extra mile to send me a picture of my pups! I won’t be using anyone else 🐶 Thank you again, Monica!!”
“Jordan did such a great job at taking care of our dog! She was always on time and gave our dog lots of love. She is very responsive and sends pictures and updates during her visits. We definitely will use her again for future dog sitting needs.”

“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.”
“Kira did a great job watching over our two cats! The cats really seemed to enjoy being with her and she constantly kept us in the loop if there were any concerns.”
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.
“Emily did a FABULOUS job taking care of all our fur babies while we were gone! She is very responsive & went above & beyond for us! So so very thankful to have found a new dog walking buddy & a friend, along with her being our new go-to pet sitter! Would highly recommend her for all dog & cats needs as all of our pets LOVED her!”
“Wonderful thoughtful people! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Justin & Christina sat with my dog twice a day for 2 and a half weeks while I traveled for medical care. My dog loved them and was very comfortable while I was gone. I can absolutely recommend them and will call them again. ??”
“Wonderful first visit! Thank you so much.”
“Fantastic communication, great photos, and detailed updates. Will absolutely schedule with Elizabeth in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just some cuddles, I love making sure pets feel happy and comfortable when they’re in my care. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits at the moment. I have a three-year-old cavapoo myself, so I can very much understand the attention and care you want given to your pet! I will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m always happy to adapt to each pet’s needs and personality and any requests you may have. You can trust that your pets will be safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and fully committed to making sure your pets have a great experience with me. I am currently studying for my certification boards, so I have plenty of time to give the appropriate care and attention to your sweet pet. I am not keeping any pets overnight at the moment but would be willing to discuss this as an option if I think the fit is right.
