“Julia was great as a rather last-minute booking! She made room in her schedule to come by and meet us in-person. She was great with our cats and very communicative while we were gone.”
“Ruzziliann was fantastic with our 3 kitties. She sent plenty of pictures and great notes about how everyone was doing while we were gone. She even brought a package in we forget we were receiving that needed to be refrigerated immediately. All 3 of the kitties were happy and well cared for while we were gone.”
About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. I will be working part time over the summer (8-12 Monday-Thursday) so I will have afternoons and nights available during the week. I also have most weekends free. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.
“She takes great care of my kitties with their individual needs and is incredibly kind and friendly! I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She even helped me out with a last minute request due to unexpected travel and is really compassionate.”
“Alyssa did a great job of taking care of our two cats. She made sure to put food and water down for them. and clean out the litter boxes. I hope to use her again on our next trip.”
