“1000% would recommend Kristen. Very quick to respond on short notice, happily obliged to my requests regarding my cat, and kept the place spotless while I was gone. I had complete trust in her and her enthusiasm put me at ease.”
About: I have been a vet tech for 9 years and owned dogs and cats my whole life. I have plenty experience in training, behavior, nutrition and animal care. Friends and family trust me for all their pet care needs. For right now my schedule varies from week to week. Majority of the time I am off work 3 days a week. I will begin to change this accordingly depending on demand for pet care sitting. I have a fenced in backyard. It is plenty big enough for dogs to play. My cats have free roam in the house. My dog is kennel trained, but that is not a requirement for me. My cats eat twice a day and my dog eats only in the morning, by her choice.
“Jaylee did a great job of caring for my two kitties. She communicated well so I always knew what was going on each day, both morning & evening. The daily photos I received reassured me and some even made me laugh. I highly recommend Jayleen.”
“Angela was absolutely amazing. After having a bad experience with a previous sitter that resulted in the loss of one of our boys, Angela truly made us feel at ease. She was in constant communication and truly treated them as if they were her own. Our one dog has health conditions that has resulted in lack of bladder control and Angela didn't hesitate to clean up after him going above and beyond she even cleaned up the rager that our Houdini through when he escaped his kennel during the night. We are so thrilled to have found Angela and will continue to use her in the future.”
About: Grew up in the country taking in any critter that needed my help and unconditional love. Nothing I wouldn’t do for them. Fully supplied and ready :)) I’m home always , I prefer animals over people. I’m super soft hearted and devoted to any that need me. They’ll always have a trusted devoted friend in me. I live out in the country with plenty of land to roam, two loving sweet dogs to keep yours company and to play with. I’m home always and they have my undivided attention.
“Kelsi is such an outstanding pet sitter. She went above and beyond for my cat, Julien. She gave me thorough updates including how much he ate, his bathroom habits, and his behavior. He behaves differently when I’m away so it was great to hear that he was happy and doing well. It was it easier for me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of by Kelsi. She even kept plants alive and watered through a heat wave. I will definitely be requesting her services the next time I need a pet sitter.”
About: I'm super attentive and love keeping pets entertained with games and cuddles! I've also got experience with basic training for puppies and giving extra TLC to senior pets.

About: Pet care experience that I have obtained through the years -Humane society work over 2 years (cats + dogs) -Doggy daycare work over 5 years (dogs all ages) - Babysitting for 2 families which had 2 dogs each for 5 years was used for vacations when their out of town or sporting events. I currently am a full time employee I work your typical 9-5. I have 2 little kiddos they will have sports during the week. The days I have free are weekends every weekend is available for me to utilize to take care of someone’s beloved best friend they hate to leave at home alone. When I care for pets I walk into the home and call their name so they know I am there. I get them out of their crate or room wherever they are take them outside immediately when I get there. And if they have toys I play for half an hour or so. Take them out again before I would leave. But sometimes I sit with them in the house because some pets like company and they like someone being there with them.But if there are specific needs I will accommodate anyone with requests on how they need me to take care of their dog.
About: I've had several different animals since I was little. I am an animal lover. I have experience with different animals. From a sugar glider to cats to dogs. **House sitting is 8 hour days Boarding is overnights Just for some clarification. I do not board in my own home. Please choose the correct service. If you need during the day and overnight please choose boarding** I am lucky enough to do Rover full time, got laid off due to my company getting axed unexpectedly. So I want to show love to your babies when you're going out of town or just on a date night! I do not board in my own home. I am happy to stay in your home and treat it with the upmost respect, while you are away. If that be while you are at work or away on a vacation, you can trust me with your fur babies. I do require a meet and greet before taking on a new client for my safety and theirs. *I have the right to refuse any client or animal for any reason* *I prefer to board in your home so the babies are more comfortable, especially if they are anxious. It will help keep them more comfortable so we aren't taking them out of their home and their humans leaving them all at the same time so I welcome that option as well*

“Sierra has watched my cat and both of my dogs several times and I couldn't be more pleased. She treats them with so much love and takes the time to play with them. She takes pet sitting to a new standard. My dogs were exhausted when I got back home and made it super easy to get them to go to bed. I would definitely recommend Sierra and intend to use her again when I need a sitter or drop in call.”
