Dog Sitting in Saint John

About: Cats have held a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. My love for them began when a stray cat followed me at my great-grandfather’s place in Arizona, and it has only grown since then. I’ve been fortunate to adopt two wonderful feline companions—my first in 2004, who was with me until 2018, and my second in 2021. With over 20 years of experience caring for cats, I’ll be sure to provide the best care for you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members soon! With a flexible work schedule, I have the time to provide exceptional care for your pet. I’m available from early morning to evening ... and anytime in between to look after your fur baby. I believe most cats feel safest and most comfortable staying in their own home while their owners are away. Leaving your cat at home while away is always stressful on not only you but the cat. I will make sure your cat is fed, has fresh water, treats (if applicable) and gets some playtime for exercise ... all in the comfort and security of their own home. Before accepting a booking, I prefer to meet your pet in advance. This helps ensure that you feel confident in my care and, just as importantly, that your pet is comfortable and familiar with me before my visits.

“Kim, went above and beyond caring for Yogi. She is very experienced with dogs and we are so thankful for her. We were so pleased how she wanted to make sure Yogi was well cared for and comfortable while we were away. Thank you Kim for everything we are so lucky to have you.”

About: As a dog owner for the first 20 years of my life, I was used to walking, playing with, and administering medication to my best friend. Now, I find myself sitting animals of friends or family! I'm currently in the process of obtaining my Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Governors State University. Besides classes and studying, my availability is open to whatever your pet needs! I can give undivided attention on weekends. No other animals are in my home, which allows for your pet to receive royal treatment! Unfortunately, unfenced yard, so your pups would have to be leashed.

About: I have rescued dozens of feral kitties. No feral is untrainable. With patience and love they become the most loving of all. I’d love to meet your babies. I am retired and am available most times. I also accept last minute needs. I will be certain your baby is well fed and his needs are met. I will come to your home and feed, clean and play with your babies. Whatever is needed I will be happy to make sure all is well. I will also send updated photos

“April is incredible. She was so patient with my dog, Mari who is a very nervous girl. She gave me updates all along the way and sent me photos. 10/10 would recommend!!!”

About: My name is Hannah, and I've been taking care of pets since a very young age. I love going on walks, no matter what the weather is, I will walk in any kind of weather just as long as the dog will walk. I like to take my time and build the pet's trust, even when they are shy at first. I always make sure I understand the information that is given to me. I love it when a pup gets used to seeing me, remembers my car, and gets so excited to see me. I did move from IL to Indiana, and i do have about 4 acres to run around to get some energy out. I use to work at a doggy day care. I stay at home taking care of any animal that i have for a petting sitting when i do not have a pet sitting I try to look for walks to meet new pets I have a fenced-in yard and also have about 4 acres of land. I take the pups out to use the bathroom and run them around to tire them out

“Was such a pleasure to have her with our boys!”

“Taryn did an amazing job with Dipper. She made sure he did his business outside and calmed him down. Dipper is not used to new people, but she got him to warm up to her very easily. If I need someone to watch him again I would definitely hire her.-”

About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.

“Had another great experience having Crystal checking on my cat. Crystal was very timely. I was provided with updates and pictures following each visit to assure me that my cat was being well taken care of. I will definitely use Crystal on my next trip!”

About: We have a grumble of two pugs, two kids (8 and 9) I work from home so I have the time to take them out all day. We have had our pugs since they were babies, except for our late rescue who became paralyzed and needed our help with both urinary and fecal expression, as well as medications administered. We are experienced with puppies to older special needs dogs. We do not, at the time, feel comfortable with having aggressive breed of dogs in our home with our grumble of pugs or our children. We have a ranch home with no carpet, it is a very pet friendly home with a fenced yard as well. We are happy to help you with your fur babies too!~ I’m always home other than quick trips out to run the kids to sports or errands as I work at home so able to take them out very frequently Our yard is fenced, scenic view on a large pond, and extremely dog and kid friendly Our dogs and kids love to keep younger dogs busy and senior dogs cozy. They will feel right at home during their stay with us!

“Eli is a very warm and professional pet sitter. He handled our quirky, creaky senior with great care and gave our new spicy chi space and patience. I appreciated his thorough notes and will use him again!”

“Alix was awesome! She was very communicative during my work trip and sent some really sweet pictures too! My Dottie looked more excited to see her than she is to see me sometimes 😂 absolutely would recommend Alix to anyone needing assistance with their pets! Thank you, Alix!”

About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!

About: Dog owner and animal lover with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for and training my Labrador Retriever. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I run my own pressure washing business, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting. Being self-employed allows me to manage my time well and make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while providing plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship in both my home and my client’s home!

About: My whole life I have always been around dogs and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have 3 of my own but I have cared for other people dogs as well for years. I do work full time Monday-Friday but I’m free anytime on the weekends. I can also do weekday evenings. We can always work out schedules! I do have my own fur babies that would be great play mates for your pup! I do have room for crates and anything that would best occupy your pet!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember. I have previously worked at a cat hospital so I am able to give medications to pets by request. I am a big animal lover, I have had almost every type of pet imaginable so I have a wide range of experience. I have taken care of dogs, cats, large and small birds, fish, ferrets, rabbits, and rats since I was little. I am a student so I have very open availability. I look forward to talking to you about your pet care needs I work part time usually pretty consistently. However it is not long hours except on some weekends. But I am still available to work almost daily I try my best to make it look like I haven’t been there. I love sending pictures of happy pets so every time I visit I will definitely send you tons of pictures. I prefer to meet in advance just to go over your pet(s) needs and see where food, treats, and toys are located before you are away.

“Maddie is the best! My boyfriend uses her services for his dogs because he often travels for work, so when I needed someone to take care of my cats when I was out of town, I knew Maddie was the answer. She loves animals and is so kind to them. It is nice knowing I have someone I can trust my babies with when I cannot be there.”

About: I enjoy spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a college student at Indiana University Northwest, and with summer here I have a much more flexible schedule. While I do work a part time job, I’m still able to make multiple visits throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, care, walks, and playtime! I provide a safe and caring environment whether your dog stays in my home or I care for them in yours. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs will always be leashed on walks. I’ll make sure your pup stays on their routine with fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention!
