“Deb did a lovely job with our 2 dogs. We came home after 2 weeks of vacation to relaxed and happy pets. None of the stressed out behaviors we have seen in the past when we had to kennel them. I would recommend Deb to anyone!”
“Claire is kind, calming and loving towards Teddy. Only after a few hours he was very comfortable. I will continue to use Claire for all my house sitting needs. Thank you.”
“Our two pups loved Emily! She cuddled with them and played with them all day. Emily did a day sit for us in our home and we are really looking forward to having her dog sit for us again.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, they are the best! I currently have 5 animals of my own and they are dear to me. I would love to give exceptional care for your dog(s) or cats when needed. I'm someone you can trust and rely on to take the best care of your baby(s). I currently work part time, Monday thru Wednesday and I have the extra time to help you when you need help with your fur baby(s)!! I have a fenced in back yard and I monitor my dogs while they are out there. Plenty of space for my dogs to run around and play!
“Chelsie took great care of our four cats! I think our youngest two cats want her back because they got lots of play time! She made sure to check our mail and keep it organized. We think our house may have been cleaner when we came home than when we left! We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our house and fur babies.”
“We have a very anxious but very sweet dog. It didn’t take her and Cheyanne to be come great friends. We have had Cheyanne sit twice now and will again soon, she does a great job and our dog love’s it when she comes over.”
About: I have experience caring for neighbors dogs and love to be around them. I take pride in always being willing to expand my knowledge about breeds, different care methods, and always improving. I’m currently working part time as well as attending college so my schedule can be a little hectic, however I pride myself on managing my time effectively. I prefer as many care details as you’re willing to give, and I will probably take notes as well. I like to take walks to stay healthy so your pet will have plenty of time outside. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality and quirks is half the fun for me!
About: I’ve always been the go to friend/aunt to pet sit. I love all animals and would rather spend my free time hanging out with a fuzzy friend. I would loveeeeeeee to walk your dog! I currently work from home and would love a buddy to hangout with! I live close to the bike trail and many parks and would enjoy a furry friend to take walks with! If you are in need of someone to drop in, have a place for your pet to stay or just a companion for your friend to take walks with I am the one you are looking for!
“Tranae was a phenomenal house and dog sitter while we were away for an extended holiday weekend. She kept in touch, sent photo/video updates and went above and beyond in many ways. Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn was great while watching our dog over our long vacation- Great communication, along with some pictures of our pup! Katelyn even stayed an additional night for us when we ran into some car trouble and wouldn’t be home when planned. Thanks Katelyn!”
About: I’ve almost always had a pet whether it was a cat, kitten, puppy, family dog, or fish. I enjoyed taking care of the neighborhoods pets growing up as well as house sitting for them. When I was bored I used to ask the neighbors if I could walk their dogs just to get outside! I love animals in all shapes and sizes. Currently I work full time from home. I have a pretty flexible schedule for when I can take a lunch break or leave the house for an extended amount of time. Come March I will be self employed and will have open availability! There is no fence around our home, ideally outside time will be on a leash or long lead rope for running. We can do long walks down the road, a quick car ride to the beach, or walk in the state land across the street from my home. For cats we have lots of climbing structures and even some shelves built into the wall. Many toys and much love to go around
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and recently i’ve been working to help train my dogs to duck hunt from when they were puppies! I can administer oral medication, pill form or liquid I work full time, but i’m out early enough to spend plenty of time with your furry friends! i’m out at 4pm on weekdays and have weekends off! i’m available everyday:) I can crate if needed, at home my dogs have a perimeter fence so they don’t run off! they are crate trained as well. i give them their medications everyday
“What can I say about Anna? She is amazing! She took excellent care of our puppy for 7 days! He fell in love with her. Our cats loved her too! Anna goes above and beyond with her love, care, patience and compassion for the pets she cares for. We will definitely be calling on her again in the future.”
About: I have helped care for dogs since I was about eight years old. I also have several years of animal care experience from working on a farm. I also frequently house/dog sit for family members. I am currently working part time Monday-Thursday. However I have plenty of time after I get done with work to stop by and help care for pets! And Friday-Sunday I am completely free! I have experience caring for dogs in other peoples homes, and will make sure to follow any instructions you leave to the letter! Since I have dogs at home unfortunately I am currently unable to board any animals at my house.
