About: I am a former Zookeeper and Vet Assistant, with a degree in Zoo Animal Technology. Now providing loving, reliable care, and let's not forget adventures, for your critters. Puppies, kittens, seniors; housesits, walks, drop in's, administering medications, I've got you covered. I am currently taking care of pet friends full time. I do my best to adhere to their routines, to ensure a safe, fun, stress free environment. If a pet schedule needs to be altered, it will be discussed with you first. When in pet client homes, your rules and preferences will be followed. And since I am a full time critter sitter, the fur kids will be given lots of attention. I was also reminded on a daily basis growing up, that I wasn't raised in a barn. No messes will be left!

About: I grew up with dogs and recently lost my best friend, a corgi, Teddy. As a long time dog-owner, I understand how much anxiety goes into leaving your dog with someone else. I will treat your dog/s as if they were my own. I have much experience with aging / elderly dogs and dogs with special needs (dogs with leash aggression, anxiety, allergies, and prosthetic limbs/wheel chairs). My goal is to get to know you and your dog, and provide tailored service to meet your wants and your furry loved one's needs. I am happy to provide updates and pictures of our time together too! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out if you have any additional questions for me! Thank you! I work from home, which allows for frequent walks, potty breaks and play time! Both the dogs and myself appreciate the breaks within the day! I have a fenced in yard and multiple ring cameras to ensure everyone's safety. Neighboring houses do not have dogs; it is a quiet and peaceful environment.

Bear reports that Lindsay was exceptional. She filled in when we really needed a last minute rescue. Bear was happy and well fed when we got home, communication was easy, and we can't thank her enough.

Siarra was great. She checked on our two older cats over a weekend for us. Spent time with them, emptying litter boxes, feeding them and sending us some good pictures. I would definitely recommend her, and I’m sure we will use her again.

About: I grew up taking care of my family's dogs (feeding, bathing, walking, playing with) and I started cat sitting for neighbors when I was ten. I am currently working a part time job from my home, so I have a lot of flexibility to walk, feed, or watch your pets overnight. I won't be able to board animals in my house but because I have two dogs of my own I understand how precious our animals are and promise to treat your animals with the same love and care I treat mine with.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. From feeding and walks to playtime and attention, I’m comfortable with all aspects of pet care. Being around animals has helped me understand their different needs and personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m currently a student at Pacific Union College. I’m available for drop-in visits during the week and have open availability on weekends for overnight care. During overnight stays, I will focus on keeping your pets’ routine as consistent as possible, from feeding and walks to playtime and bedtime. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while also keeping your home clean and secure.

About: I have lots of experience caring for pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I cater to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and strive to provide the best care for your pets while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I prioritize giving each pet the attention and care they need. Each day includes feeding, walking, playtime, and regular check-ins to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Weekly, I ensure pets get consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and any special care they may require, like administering medication or grooming. Pet care is a rewarding part of my schedule, and I make sure to provide a structured and loving environment for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. Pets receive regular meals, daily walks, and engaging activities to keep them happy and healthy. I also provide lots of attention and affection, treating them like family members. Whether it's grooming, training, or simply offering companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and secure during their stay.
