“Kallie was great! I got detailed updates about my Tiny & she even went above & beyond and brought in my packages even though I didn’t mention this on our meet & greet. Tiny is pretty shy & hesitant around other people so it’s always a great sign when I receive photos of him feeling comfortable around a sitter. 10/10”
About: BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL!! NEW DROP-IN CUSTOMERS FIRST VISIT FREE. NEW BOARDING CUSTOMERS 1ST DAY 50% OFF ANY STAY 3 DAYS OR MORE. I have been taking care of pets for about 15 years off and on whether it be my own pets or the pets of others'. Bathing, brushing, soothing, walking, giving medications, you name it. I have had a few classes over K9 Resuscitation and can perform basic first aid and CPR on your pet if needed. If there is something that needs done for your pet that I haven't done before, then teach me how and I will ensure its done while I have your pet in my care. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time so I am usually only available to board or day care on the weekends or when I take a break from work. I will update my schedule before hand though and we'll often be available on holidays. I can do dropins a few days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. She loves other animals. If your pets are aggressive to other animals, then let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible by keeping them in a separate room.
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for other people’s furry family members. Over my lifetime, I’ve had five dogs of all sizes and breeds, along with a many cats. In the years since, I’ve dog-sat and pet-sat many different breeds and truly love taking care of animals. You can trust me with your pets—I will treat them like my own. I’m excited to meet more dogs (and their wonderful owners) I am currently working full time at a church with a flexible schedule. While I do work Monday- Thursday during the day, there is always room in my schedule for pet routines. My mornings and evenings are open to be taken over by cute animals! My goal is to care for your pets as well as you would. That they would feel comfortable, mentally and physically stimulated, and at home no matter where we are.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always been the type of person who notices their little routines, quirks, and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, extra cuddles, or giving them a little space. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for like they matter. My schedule gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my week, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m available for drop ins, house sitting, feeding, playtime, walks, and plenty of check ins. I also don’t mind sending lots of photo updates so you can see how things are going while you’re away. I take pet care and being in someone else’s home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, stick to feeding and medication routines, and pay attention to any changes in your pet’s behavior. I also like to know all the little details ahead of time, including hiding spots, escape-artist tendencies, favorite toys, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.
“Leandra watched our sweet kitty for over a month when we took an extended trip. She was super attentive to his needs and let us know how he was doing daily. I highly recommend Leandra. She truly cares about animals and it shows.”
“Ericka was a big help at the last minute to watch over my Cat while I was away for work. She made sure he was eating had plenty of food and spent time trying to play with him even though he was a bit too shy.”
About: Hi! My name Trinity and I’m 25 years old. I have taken care of a few dogs this past year my best friend’s two dogs, my other’s friend dog for 2 weeks. I would feed the dogs walk the dogs and stay with them. The dogs were so sweet and kind made me want to start spending more time with animals. I also used to watch dogs when I was younger! I am definitely open to meeting in person to see if I’m a good fit before booking! I really do love I’m currently working full-time, but I have three days off in a row! Right now I have some time off of work so I will be more available than usual! When I do work, I get off at 5:30 PM. I like following routine whatever the owner says is a routine for the dog. I will follow it! So whatever is comfortable with the owner is comfortable with me! I currently live in apartment by myself, but I do not have a backyard. I’m on the second floor, but I’m willing to stay at other people’s apartments or houses to help or even to go check check-in!

About: I've owned to dogs in the spanned of 12 years. Both 100 plus pounds, I've also worked with medium size breeds and toy breeds. I also own exotic and cats. I have worked in the retail industry catering towards animals and have volunteered sitting for farm animals. I'm at the moment working towards a degree in veterinary medicine full time. I do not work so this would be my main source of income. Since I am fully dedicating previously my time to school. Close monitoring and calm approach to any situation or environment are essential when it comes to the care of animals in my possession. Patience and building a bond is also very important and key to building a long lasting relationship with my animals.
“Angel took outstanding care of our cat while we were away. She was very easy to communicate with and made dropping off and picking up our cat very easy. Thanks!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats. I've always had a passion for animals, especially after growing up with several pets, so I love seeing everyone's cute pets I have a completely open schedule at the moment. So I'll be free at any moment and won't turn down a request unless already doing one. I try to make it as seamless as possible since pets can usually get stressed without their parents. Just extra love and following the routine you have already set.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
