Cheryl was fantastic with my finicky cat; she looks like she didn't even miss me for the week I was gone! Would trust her with any four-legged friend.

We were so pleased with the care our rather old, rather shy cat received from Crispin. And, to my amazement-the kitty area was as clean as I left it. Crispin, both kitty and I thank you!

About: I’ve owned vizslas so I know who to handle high energy dogs and have trained each one myself! I also have experience with goldens, black labs, frenchies, and german shepherds! I work a full time job but can take a dog out in the mornings, midday, and evening - possibly more depending on the location. I would try to stick to the pets routine as best as possible and pay attention to the pet’s cues to make it the most comfortable without it’s owner.

We rescued a cat with feline HIV who has to be kept indoors at all times. Initially, this requirement created a lot of stress, and we were afraid to leave our cat with anyone. Nicol was recommended to us prior to taking our first trip. Nicol was great about sending photo updates while we were away which brought us a lot of comfort. Nicol ensures our cat's dietary restrictions are accurately followed and she takes great care to prevent our cat from running outdoors. Our cat is typically very shy around strangers and often hides when we have guests. We were pleasantly surprised to see he warmed up to Nicol rather fast! We would rate Nicol's services a 10/10, especially if your cat has any special needs.

I’ve briefly shadowed service dog trainers and can assist enforcing good training habits! I’m a student / athlete that pursue physical activities in my free time. During my sports off season I’m extremely flexible to most scheduling needs, job requests, walk duration, pace, and terrain to accommodate to any needs for your pets. I am absolutely adaptive to any dog care related needs. Animal care has always been a priority in my house hold. I’m easy to work with and experienced in dog handling. I’m detail oriented and effective at following any specific care instructions. I’m very responsive so never hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working with you and your animal.

Lana is my neighbor and she has been dog sitting my little Yorkie for a year now. Lana is such a caring and loving person. Teddy gets really excited every time he spends time with her if its going on a walk or even spending the day/night. Lana is also very flexible and always works around my schedule. I highly recommend her to watch your pup! Your dog is going to be in good hands just like mine.

About: Being raised in a home with multiple dogs and cats, I have deeply enjoyed the role of care taking, playing, exercising, and cohabitating with animals. For the last fifteen years I have supported many friends and families in taking care of their pets. Due to graduate studies and apartment life, I do not have the joy of having an animal in my life and am hoping to support my studies with additional income while enjoying supporting animals and families. I look forward to meeting yours, supporting them, and you! I currently have a flexible schedule, as I work remotely four days a week. My ideal situation would be to establish a relationship where ongoing, consistent support can be available for both me and your pet/family! I am available for dog, cat, and house sitting, I have full overnight availability, and while I am not in a position to house your furry family members, I am available to come tend to them in your space. At this time, I am not available to bring animals to my home. I am, however, available to come tend to your furry family members at your home.

Natalie was absolutely amazing with my two cats. Ordinarily the cats are very shy but they took an immediate liking to Natalie which resulted in my being able to have a relaxing vacation. My house was in perfect order when I returned home. I will be using Natalie again the next time I go away. Hands down the best pet sitter experience I have ever had.
