“Jeanette did a fantastic job taking care of our old girl! She was very communicative, open to last minute adjustments, and kept us apprised on how our pup was doing! Highly recommend and will absolutely book with her again.”
About: I am an animal lover! I currently own two young vizslas and two adopted cats. I do live with my parents so my animals are well taken care when I take care of yours. I have had cats and dogs my entire life and I am almost 25 years old. I know how to feed and properly take care of any animal. I am willing to follow any directions and trust me no fur baby is too high maintenance. All fur babies are just our fur babies and I will treats yours like my own! I often give medicine too so no need to worry if your baby needs any medicine I can definitely handle that! Feel free to reach out and we can set up a meet and greet! I currently work from home and can work anywhere as long as I have Wi-Fi and luckily I have a mobile hotspot so I can work pretty much from anywhere and anytime if the day or night. I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. Many times I will let you know when I am at your home and give you an update for each drop in visit. I will send pictures. I will also play fetch or other stimulating games that are available in the home or in the backyard. My focus is to let you know I’m in your home and when I leave. My other focus is let you see your dog/cat so you know they are being well taken care of. The third focus is making sure all requests are being filled such as feeding and medicine and others as requested.
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 yo female dog in our home while we were away. Kaitlyn took care of all of her needs, including medication and left the house without a trace she was there. Would definitely rebook with her.”
“Libby was absolutely incredible with our puppers. She was so kind and sent along lots of photos while we were away, which always makes travel easier. She was also flexible and kind when we had a travel snafu and was helpful in brainstorming solutions and offering assistance to make sure our kiddos were cared for. Both of our pups require daily meds and Libby was confident and effective in delivering them. We will 100% be booking her again. Thank you, Libby!!”
About: I grew up with my favorite dog and had him for 13 years and was my best friend. My passion is dogs and I love spending time with them. I currently work full time so I am available after 4 on weekdays and then available on weekends for animals to stay with me as needed. Multiple walks a day and all the snuggles possible. Feeding schedule based on the clients preference. Play time is important and will play as much as the cute pup wants!
“Thank you Jess for giving us peace of mind during our vacation! Taking care of a new puppy is challenging and even more so with our adult dog who is not quite sure what to think about him yet. Thanks for keeping us Informed with daily updates and photos. It's reassuring to know our fur-babies were in good hands! We will book you again for future vacations! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
About: I have cared for cats since I was a kid. I am looking forward to being a warm host to their needs, or I guess they own me, so I will be a good pet to them. I can host a cat forever. I am also good with dogs, mostly dog walking. I work from home on weekdays. I can be flexible with my schedule during weekends for longer sittings. Overnight cat sitting is the best. Dog walking is available during weekdays only. I live in an apartment so the pets will mostly stay inside, I will give them a walk as needed for poo, and pee breaks or work from your insight on what your baby likes to do and their schedule.
