She handles instructions for him with grace and is always on time, excellent at communicating throughout the day, and making sure his needs are met!

“Complete peace of mind! Travis is clearly very passionate about his love and understanding of pets. He was incredibly consistent with check ins and very patient and loving with our two shepherd/malinois, one elderly and one young excited kiddo. Leading up to the scheduled sitting, Travis met with us twice, answered all our questions and also asked all the right questions. We were completely at ease during our vacation knowing Travis was caring for our boys. Thank you so so much Travis!!!”
About: I currently own 3 dogs and 1 cat and have owned many animals. I’ve had experience working in a dog daycare, so I’m used to many breeds! I work 20-30 hours per week with shifts that range from 4-6 hours, so when I’m not working I’m always free! It’s easy for me to work with different schedule types. With drop-in services I’m willing to follow whatever set directions I’m given while respecting not only the owner but also their pet. I love my own animals, so I’d want people to treat mine with respect aswell.
“We loved Kylene! She took great care of our 2 cats,2 dogs, and the house while we were out of town. She sent daily pictures and updates. We will definitely ask her to help us out again next time!”
About: I have been dog-sitting and cat-sitting my whole life (some jobs for fun, others for money). My friends and family call me an animal whisperer because I’m very softhearted for anything with four legs. I’m currently working part-time so my time constraints are work and caring for my own dog. My flexibility may change by the week, but nights should work for me the majority of the time. I can feed, walk, kennel (if needed), and let your dog outside. For cats: I’m comfortable cleaning litter boxes if it’s an extended period of time and they need to be changed.
“Marie was great! She brought along treats to calm Sadie upon arrival, sent pics and comments throughout her stay, and kept our home tidy as well. We’ll be using her services again soon!”
“Vanessa was an excellent dog and house sitter. Our two Italian greyhounds both loved her and were comfortable with her at our home. She was timely and professional in her communication at all times. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone. 5-star review!”
