“I hired Kari for two drop in visits. She first came to my house to meet me and my cats, Kari is professional, friendly, detailed, instantly took to my cats, I feel like she is a friend after she left, I felt comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She did an excellent job! Sent me an update and pictures every time she visited. Highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future.”
“Samantha was wonderful with both of our kitties! Even our scaredy cat was happily interacting and playing with her, which is miraculous! She kept us updated and sent tons of pictures, and we’ve already booked with her again!”
About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters. I have learned and grown to love and care for animals because I view them as family, not just pets. I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day! Teaching may be my passion, but I love working with animals on the side when I have spare time. I am free on weekends, most evenings, and free almost the entire summer. I am easily and readily available for evenings and even summers to take care of your furry friends while you may be away for longer periods of time! I currently live in a single bedroom apartment with only one furry firmed if my own. He is a 6 year old American Short-Hair who is the sweetest of kitties and my entire world. I adopted him when he was just a month old and he has been with me his whole life. My apartment is located next to nearby parks and grassy areas for walks and exercise. My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.
“Saraya is great! She is very responsive and sends pictures and a message after each visit! We have loved having her watch out cats and appreciate the extra things she does such as cleaning the dirty cat dishes!”
About: I’m a loving person. I had two dogs myself (1 I adopted) it’s a lot of hard work but I wouldn’t trade it in for the world. I promise to take care of anyone’s dog as if it was a child which is what dogs are to families children not just animals. They’re the best non humans you could ask for! Sometimes all dogs need are love and attention and we are not always there to give it to them, kind of like humans. I always try to play with mine even if I’m busy from school work just to show him he’s not forgotten. Plain and simple, dogs are family and they should be treated as such and that’s the type of care you would get from me. I would treat them like I would a family member of mine with love respect and honesty.
“Everything is fine. Jaclyn left me a text photo of Hank being out in the yard. I know he likes her because her wont do that for everyone. We will be making an appt for a week in Sept. I have already discussed this with Jaclyn. Please put an $8.00 tip on my account number that was provided. I appreciate the fact that her family lives several blocks from my home.”
“We really like Caidan, he is wonderful and we feel he is the perfect person to stay with our girl Luna. We are so extremely thankful and feel comfortable leaving our baby in his hands. Thank you so much Caidan!”
About: I have about 16 years of pet care experience. I have been a pet sitter for cats, birds, dogs and reptiles. I am the go to friend for all pet needs and shelter care. I currently have a flexible schedule so I am available to pet sit anytime. Weekdays and nights work best but weekends will work as well. I focus my care on making the pet comfortable and safe. If there is any distress I will remove them from the situation and get them to a place they feel safe, whether that be on a walk or at home.
About: I’ve had a variety of pets over the years. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and even small animals. In the past I even worked as a Pet Care Manager at a local PetSmart. My own cats are lovable and quirky and I can’t imagine not having them in my life. I work from 730a-430p M-F. I can make trips early in the morning and then after work at night. My availability for the weekends and most holidays are wide open. One of my cats has asthma so we break down her playtime into 10 minute blocks. My own cats get wet food and dry food with litterbox cleaning 2x a week with a deep cleaning every 2 weeks. both of mind are super social so i spend a lot of time petting and grooming them with their fav brush.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a dog and a pet tortoise. I have also pet sat for friends dogs and mini pigs. I'm ready to treat your family like my family I work full time second shift at the local sheriff department as a dispatcher. My dog is not crated during this time. I do come home on my hour lunch break and let her out and play with her. I have a tie out for potty breaks and a large house to run around. Also visits to the dog park or tractor supply for a bath and some treats.
About: I will train the puppies how to give commands. Training will be conducted according to the pet habits of different customers. Dog walking, feeding and bathing services are also available. I can provide you with the status of your pet in real time, so that you can clearly understand the daily actions of your pet and record it. I will take classes every Monday and Wednesday, and I can do part-time work the rest of the time. I can take care of pets from 2pm to 8pm. If you have any other needs, please contact me in advance and I will arrange the time. We connect the cage to the backyard so that the pets can come and go freely. I accept each client's feeding style and I hope we can communicate before the appointment so that I can make a reasonable feeding based on your situation. I will take care of pets in your home, I will protect your personal property, and I will carry a video camera with me for recording.
About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!
About: I am bilingual, which means I can have Croatian customers as well. I also have taken care of a German Shepherd and puggle. I have 2 Corgis of my own, who are very well taken care of. I am very responsible and also a mom of two beautiful kids. I would love to take care of your dog. I am a stay at home mom, so I can take care of your dog while my kids are at school or when I pick them up. I can take your dogs on long walks. I have a dog park pass that I can take them to and play with them and make sure they get their energy out. My house is very clean and pet friendly.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, I strive to make all animals’ lives better. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity. I am currently preparing to start grooming school this year! (I also have quite a bit of experience with houseplants!) I work night shift (6pm - 4:30am) so it can be difficult but I make pet care a priority. I make sure to spend as much time outside as possible doing a mix of basic training and puzzles. I live on a farm with an open field and one semi-reactive dog (Which would be put in the house to prevent accidents). While outside I take my dog for walks around the field so she can sniff and dig as much as she would like. I also do snuffle mats/dog puzzles
