“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”

About: I've been taking care of my pets personally for close to 20 years. I pet sit for multiple friends while they are out of town or when they work off schedules like midnights. I work from home and do a lot of meetings. With notice, my schedule can be flexible and help a lot of different pet care needs. Safety and trust: I frequently work with children through the local PTA and I teach children how to play board games at a yearly gaming convention. Through this work, I have to pass regular background checks.

“✨ 5+ STARS ✨I have much gratitude for Marcy. I had a last minute request for a 2-week job, and she handled it flawlessly and promptly. And this was my very first experience utilizing Marcy’s services. She’s professional, reliable, and clearly adores the furbabies! I’ll definitely contact Marcy for future needs!”


About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!

About: Even as a baby I have always been around animals, and when I started to crawl and sit up my first playmates was a grey rescue cat and a old rottweiler. As I grew up I became more of a animal lover, showing no fear believing that every animal deserve love and to be treated right I currently do not have a job besides helping watching my niece once in awhile, while my parents are at work and I will soon being enrolling in college part time I live on a 160 acre farm, with open fields, a lake and plenty of space to play. A very long drive way, so it there will always be distance between us and a main road. I also have three pug-chihuahua of my own, who will either love to play with your pet or simply just leave them be, the dogs are fine with cats, seeing as I have two of my own, the cats will hide at first until they know your pet better. And lastly I have a rabbit who is shy and curious. None have any of my animals have ever been aggressive and all my cats and dogs are fixed. But if needed I can separate and crate your pet if needed.

If you have cats like we do, Marie is the best! She was engaged with our cat, provided updates and pics, and even checked back in after we returned home. The kitties didn't get lost, or run out, and Marie was very respectful of our home and instructions. Great job!

Marie was wonderful. She gave us a daily update that we read when we got home and of course pictures every day. It was not easy giving him is meds every day but she managed to find all of his hiding places. We are extremely grateful for not only taking care of our cat but also checking on the house.
