Janet was great with the pup. She was able to meet up before the scheduled visits for intros and to answer any questions. She was very accommodating and provided plenty of updates while looking after the pups. Would definitely recommend and would be happy for her to look after our dog again!

About: I’ve taken care of my sister husky since I was 14 years old. He’s a reactive dog due to multiple attacks towards him. Therefore I know how to handle reactive dogs or how to stay calm in those situations. I also have 2 cats. My first cats ended up pregnant during her first heat and had some complications during labor so she couldn’t feed the baby. Therefore I have experience with kittens I have a hostess job so I usually don’t work more than 4-5 hours. So it’ll be super easy to walk your pets before and after. Prioritizing your pet care involves creating a safe and trusting environment, whether in my home or a client's. This starts with ensuring the physical safety of the pet by removing hazards and providing secure spaces. Building trust is key, achieved through consistent, gentle handling and positive reinforcement. The environment plays a crucial role; maintaining a clean, comfortable, and stimulating space helps pets feel secure and happy. Tailoring these elements to the specific service you offer ensures the well-being and peace of mind for both the pet and their owner.

Our cat couldn't get more attention and care. He's very social and loves attention, amd she gave it! Proof was in the amazing pictures we received. Battlecat is super special and our fur baby, so this means a lot. Its heartbreaking to leave him, but when we do, we know he is treated so well by MacKenna. ❤️

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid! I love meeting new animals and caring for them. My experience ranges from boarding animals for 7 days, to doing stop-by visits multiple times per day. I not only love animals but I love giving families the peace of mind that their animal is in good hands. I’m a very caring mother and pet owner who is diligent and flexible. Having pets of my own my whole life, I’ve learned how to care for, engage and love all sorts of animals. I’m looking for families that need help either as a one-time getaway or on a regular basis! I’m happy to help. My goal in life is to have time and flexibility to be with my family, and caring for pets allows me that freedom! Looking forward to helping you and your furry friend. I’m currently available to help in any capacity! Feel free to reach out. I am a full-time mom and have an open schedule. I have a large home with plenty of room for your pet! There are grass areas and plenty of shade. My neighborhood has great trails where we can walk dogs. I love all animals and always treat them well! I will be sure to send you updates and photos if requested.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, growing up with 2 dogs, then fostering kittens, having a hamster, two rabbits, and horses. Animals are very important to my live and are a big passion of mine. I have been the sole caretaker of the foster kittens for about 6 years, and have a cat of my own at college with me. My family also has a dog who I grew up with, Finn, and several family cats. We also have two horses who I have ridden and cared for for 10 years, and miss everyday I'm at school. I do have classes throughout the week, but with an hour to two long gaps, I have plenty of time to visit during the day. I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I can visit to let them into the yard, take them for walks, feed them, or just keep them company.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I got my first dog when I was eight years old, and we were inseparable. I have always been people’s go to person to watch their pets! This led to me wanting to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I have almost 5 years of clinical experience and just completed my first year of vet school! I hope to give your pet the time and energy they need and I would love to update you with photos on all the fun things we do together. I am currently living at home for a few months before I start school in the fall. I am pretty flexible during the weekdays and weekends. I will care for your pets by feeding and talking them on walks as needed. I will also make sure our visits are stimulating and fun for them! We will spend some time hanging out and I would love to give them plenty of belly rubs and scratches.

About: I have lived with animals all my life, usually a combination of cats and dogs. I always ensure the pets I take care of feel safe and at home. I have also owned a hamster and a frog so far! Im currentlly between full time jobs, so I can make taking care if your animal my full time job if needed! I still plan on sitting once I get settled because I love caring for animals anyways. I am immensely patient, and will try my best to ensure trust can be built between myself and your pet when caring for them. I love playing with pets and my past dogs were always hard leash pullers.

About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, extra scratches, feeding, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I’m mostly available on Fridays, and the weekends. The weekends, I have the most availability so you can do day trips and not have to worry. I can also do some weeknights. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and easy any stress. It usually helps to have some guidelines to feeding schedules or walk schedules that the owner requests. I will give pets plenty of attention during play time and make sure they are happy, either purring or wagging tails in a good way. I also treat the home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions the owner provides.

About: I’ve always shared a deep bond with animals that has allowed me to build trustworthy relationships with them. I’m a very patient and dedicated individual. I currently am not working, so I’m able to provide all my love and attention into pets! I’m very fortunate to be in this situation and look forward to caring for your pets. I am always careful when opening and closing doors to ensure pets don’t escape. I also have experience in crating dogs for their safety and am comfortable doing so. And I always keep dogs on leash when outdoors in unfenced areas.

I was really impressed with Kelsey's kind and sweet ways with my Sammy! He doesn't warm up to easily, and this would have been the very first time I would have left him with a sitter. I have got to say Sam liked Kelsey very much, and came and laid by her, and ate his treats, and really warmed up to her and made me feel oh so comfortable for when I do have to leave him in the future. Kelsey sent me notices when she was on her way here and had wonderful conversation with me once she got here, since I was unable to attend my trip. She was so caring, I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again to take care of Sam, especially now that I have gotten to know her, and was able to see her interact with my precious Sammy. Kelsey was Great!

Shannon took the best care of our four pets. We have a senior dog who is an escape artist, two crazy kittens, and a big dog who can really be scared of new people and Shannon was amazing with all of them. Each pet took to her so naturally and she handled all the little nuances of special feeding needs and general pet chaos perfectly! We will use Shannon for any future pet needs

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Denise for taking care of Gemma (& all the house hiccups) this past holiday week! She kept our minds at peace while we were back East thousands of miles away. Perhaps the best compliment I can give Denise...I have had about a dozen sitters over the past 10 years and Gemma was the most calm and like herself upon our return out of any sitting experience I have ever had. So grateful for you, Denise!

The best cat sitter I’ve ever had. She was extremely attentive and my cats loved her. When I came home it was as if I never left. Cats were not stressed or needed. They were very loved and well taken care of. She even notified me when cats had an accident called me for clean up and did a check up. Very thorough and attentive. I would highly recommend Kirra and she will Be my Permanent pet sitter. 5 star.
