“Bonnie did a great job watching our young cat! She took the time to make sure our kitty had everything she needed and sent us pictures which we really appreciated as it was our first time using Rover! Would definitely recommend for a cat sitter!”

About: For the last 21 years our home has collected experience with animals with the focus on safety and special care. I worked as a vet tech the first half of my careers life. The last 10 years or so I've worked lightly as a tech but also as a foster coordinator with a major rescue. I help teach new fosters how to safely manage, handle and even train dogs new to a home and make sure they know ways to keep there dog safe. Our home specializes in those that need extra understanding, health care or time to settle in. Dogs are our homes life. We already work around dog care schedules and appropriate trips outside all the time. I'm home all but 2 days a week and provide most mid-day walks and play time. Safety is a big factor in our home. We have years of learning and perfecting dog introductions when boarding and our dogs are very used to new guests coming in and out. When caring for dogs in my own yard but also when providing care at the owners home I always use safe leash handling skills. We dont have a fence so being aware of open doors and guests coming or going is something our whole home is always mentally aware of and our whole focus is keeping our guests safe.

About: Ever since I was a child, I have dog and cat sat for family, friends, and neighbors. During college my friends with pets always knew they could trust me to watch them!😊 My family got our first dog when I was in the 4th grade. I was his primary care taker: making sure to feed him, give him water, let him out, and take him on walks. I have three pets of my own who I love dearly; two cats Cheddar and Brie, and a rabbit named Bunny❤️ I have summers off so I am available to check on or walk animals during the week days! I can also do pet sitting and check ins or walks on the weekends according to my availability!😊 When working with your animal(s) I will follow any instructions given to make sure that your pets are safe and comfortable. When I am with them they will have all of my care and attention.

“We had such a great experience with Caitlin! She watched our two cats while we were out of town and did a fantastic job. She was responsible, reliable and clearly cared for our pets sending us photos of them daily. We came home to happy, well-cared for cats. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet-sitter!”

About: Dogs, cats and birds have always been a part of my life. As a child, we even had a pet crow named Butch! I work from home so your fur or feather baby won’t be left alone.

Occasionally, I will have a foster dog in addition to my resident dog. I would disclose that information before booking. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. After work, I walk my dog either around the neighborhood or we go to Red Cedar trail or to a park in town. I can easily crate your dog if you request it but it’s ok if he/she sleeps wherever. My dog freaks out in a crate (he was a breeder release) so he sleeps wherever he chooses. He is very gentle and has no teeth so I will not care for any aggressive dog.

Sidney K.
“I wholeheartedly recommend my daughter for dog walking and pet sitting. She grew up surrounded by animals, especially our beloved Golden Retrievers and family cats, and she has always had a gentle, responsible nature when it comes to caring for them. Most recently, she opened her heart and home to an adult English Bulldog, showing incredible patience and compassion as she helped him adjust to a new environment. In addition to her love for animals, she also teaches young children, which speaks to her caring, responsible nature and her ability to handle a wide range of personalities—whether furry or human! She brings that same patience and attentiveness to the pets in her care. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or a little extra love while you're away, she will treat them like family. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and truly devoted to giving animals the care they deserve and she will care for your pet as if it were her own—lovingly, reliably, and with great attention to their individual needs.”
