Cat Sitting Shacktown

“Kourtney was amazing with our two dogs. We had been looking for someone to take care of both our dogs for quite sometime and we were glad to have found Kourtney. She did a great job looking out for our dogs while we were out of town. Her communication in every visit was spot on. I would definitely recommend her and we will be rebooking her for our next trip.”

“This was our second booking with Katie and she was absolutely wonderful! Her expertise as a vet tech, communication, and willingness to go above and beyond came into play this stay, and showed just how dedicated to she is to caring for animals AND their owners! Katie is an asset and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you Katie for helping us take this trip and feel peace about sweet Casper’s care. You are a gem and we are so grateful for you!!”

“These two girls have gone over and above to help us with our new pup and our two older dogs! Whenever we come home from work after they have been walked by them the pups are in the happiest moods! Thank you both for all you have done for us and being so helpful with my husband’s and I changing of schedules!”

“Natalie took amazing care of our cats and our dogs with health issues (and medications) and one with separation anxiety (It was his first time staying at the house while we were away and she made sure he was comfortable and kept us updated on how he was doing.) They were so happy and well cared for when we got home and the house looked great in spite of my dogs and cats (they like to gang up with the cats knocking things off high surfaces and the dogs tearing things up or the dogs counter surfing) . We will definitely be using Natalie again.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals since the age of 7. I’ve had 3 different dogs and dog breeds, and they were always loving and happy to be in my care. I currently have an 11 year old healthy yorkie who has had such a happy life filled with love, people think she’s a puppy still. I am naturally knowledgeable about important information when dealing with animals, and I’ve also been a temporary care taker for my grandma. Im currently an 18 year old who’s finished with highschool, aspiring to become a student in esthetician school so I have plenty of time for your adorable fur babies! I’m available from 6 am- 7 pm. I have a fenced backyard, an alarm system on my house, a quiet, clean home, and a calm, kind 11 year old female yorkshire terrier at home along with my mom and my 5 year old little brother.

“I am writing to highly recommend Samantha (Grace) for pet sitting services. She was a wonderful fit for my dogs. Samantha's genuine love for animals and her commitment to their care were immediately evident. My dogs absolutely adored the attention she gave them. She was also incredibly reliable and consistent with her timing, which is crucial for my dogs' routine. I will certainly be using her services again in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend her. Best regards, Troy Machamer”

About: I have always loved animals. I very much care about their comfort and wellbeing. I’m also always ready for a good puppy or kitty cuddle! I have a pretty open schedule usually. I just need a heads up in advance. For drop ins I usually prefer afternoons, but it’s interchangeable. I can stay with your dog for most of the day usually, if needed. I’d also be happy to feed, play with, and walk them.

“Danielle took excellent care of my cat while I was away. My cat is diabetic and also has pancreatitis, so his care requires close monitoring and medication. Danielle was reliable, attentive, and clearly comfortable handling his medical needs. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“I’m so happy to have met Kat! She came to meet Remmi, our 125lb English/Italian mastiff before watching her for the first time. I feel it is important for everyone to feel comfortable in a house and dog sitting situation-not only Remmi and I, but Kat as well! I immediately felt comfortable and confident with Kat taking care of our sweet pup and home while out of town. We used Kat again soon after the first time..a VERY last minute trip. Kat responded right away and agreed to help us out-she’s wonderful! I could go on and on-she is a perfect fit for our mastiff and mainecoon kitty!”

“Matthew was excellent! He was prompt and very communicative! He took great care of my senior dog, Spot! I will definitely be using him again!”

“We have used Nina twice for our pups and they adore her. She’s been the perfect sitter. The pups get lots of play time, lovin, treats, and I get pics/video sent to me. The pups love to get to see/play with her kids too. Next time we need a pet sitter we will definitely be booking with Nina.”

Andria R.

“Megan is such a good sitter. My puppy absolutely loves spending time with her I can truly tell. Plays with her, does everything just like I ask. Wonderful and I choose Megan every time I need drop in visits. I 100% recommend her!”

About: Hello! My name is Katrina, I am an elementary school counselor currently saving up to buy a home! I have my own dog, Milo, a 4-year old lab mix but I have always loved dogs and have experience volunteering at service dog training facilities, shelters, and I have fostered dogs, as well! I have done dog walking and petsitting for multiple years now and have experience working with all types of dogs, small or large, reactive or non-reactive, all energy levels, and I love them all :) I will update you as much as you want on your pet when I am with him or her, I know it can be stressful to be away from them but I promise they are in good hands if they are with me! I currently work full-time so I am available after 4pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends! I am more than happy to work with your schedule. I have a large, fenced-in backyard and my own dog that loves to spend time outside. Please let me know whether your dog is more of an indoor/outdoor dog and how I can adjust the environment to fit his/her needs.

“Lauren & Layla have looked after our sweet boy two times thus far - it’s been such an awesome experience. Communication and visit updates are the best, we’ve already booked our next visit and plan to work with them for the foreseeable future! Nothing better than peace of mind knowing our little guy is in good, loving care!”

Amanda W.

“Kimberly did an excellent job watching our animals while we were on vacation. It was so nice to have frequent updates and pictures of the pets, and she went above & beyond making sure they were cared for & that everything was kept in order. 10/10! Thanks again. ??”

“Alyssa was great! She was available last minute and on time every visit and sent photos. Great communication! Will definitely request her again.”

I offer high-end pet sitting services and will be more than welcome to talk, communicate and keep consistent communication going about your pet and pet service needs. I have no problem w/ Pee Pee/Poo Poo, pad disposal, turf cleaning and walk through's to find accidents so that when you're back, you enjoy your time! Communication is key,...you tell me what you need. I have a few available weekends between now and then. I am available the weekend of Memorial day and the holiday; check my calendar! STARTING MAY30th for all your SUMMER care needs; I am available everyday and am flexible with times! I am a school teacher and can spend this interim time getting to know you and your needs prior to to your departure for vacations, outings, work trips or get-aways! One summer weekend is my vacation; dates are July 25-27th, unable to provide services.; it is a Saturday, Sunday and a Monday. Safety: Dog-My medium sized Westie (Sallie Mae) needs: Door shut immediately behind me (both glass door and hardwood door). She uses a harness/retractable leash for walks and a collar/retractable leash for short walk around house for fresh air/bathroom break. I am mindful always of any visible items on the floor that may have been dropped and could be of hazard! I also vacuum daily to reach areas under the bed for this reason also. I check that her pet stairs to my bed are placed accordingly to get accessibility to the bed. Food and water are always checked twice daily and located in 2 different parts of the house. Cat- My cat (Baby Muffin) does not try to escape to the outdoors (yet.....), however; as a precaution I rarely open my sliding glass door open largely or for any longer than necessary. I am mindful always of any visible items on the floor that may have been dropped and could be of hazard! I also vacuum daily to reach areas under the bed for this reason also. Food and water are always checked twice daily and located in 2 different parts of the house. I am always aware of her visibility, for example, if she does not appear when I am home or prior to leaving my home; I check for any closed coset doors, cabinets, etc. for a place she may have accidentally been trapped. Trust: Dog-My Westie needs immediate attention and "lovins'" when I walk through the door. Prior to leaving her she is talked to a prepped for me leaving by telling her key statements and then leaving three varieties of chew bones in front of the refrigerator (which she waits for). Trust is provided through routine and consistency. For example, everyday a You Tube video plays a repeating jazz coffee house with ambiance. I also take the measure of saying her name with happy intentions prior to entering my home to ensure she knows it is me at the door. Trust is continuing to repeat the names of her toys daily with playtime and telling her what is happening prior to a walk, etc. or getting close to dinner, bedtime or a ride/walk. Cat-My cat gets talked to immediately when arriving home to ensure she knows just how loved she is! I call her name sweetly and she's petted. She is given cat treats in her special bowl twice a day. At my house, I try to provide trust through routine and consistency. I offer her many places to sleep by herself with her special blankets and provide toys rotated for stimulation (springs, play mice and of course a random paper bag!) Environment: Sallie Mae and Baby Muffin: I have a daily routine where they are give their special treats twice a day, keeping fresh food and water available and rotated, clean bedding for their special sleeping. Our daily routine includes that the TV is left on with YouTube coffee-house jazz ambience and I always provide calming statements of affirmation for them when leaving for the day and again when arriving home. Cat- In the morning, the litterbox is cleaned with scooper and fresh litter is added as needed. I then take that trash out so that litter is not a bad fragrance when returning home. Cat hairballs are discarded as needed and floor area cleaned. Dog- Twice a week I clean a Turf system and relace turfs with clean ones while the others are rinsed and dried. Monthly grooming for her is provided through a mobile service. However; I give Sallie Mae a bath anytime it is needed with special shampoo, tepid warm water with a shower sprayer and then immediately wash and dry her towels that were used.

About: hi everyone! My name is isabella, and I have done pet care for eight years. I have ran barns, and one of my main jobs right now is watching a barn of 10 horses, caring for them, giving oral meds, and preventative care while the owner is gone. I also have this experience with dogs and cats and take care of the ones at the barn as well. I am able to administer oral medicine with any size pet. I am also able to exercise and run with the dogs when you would like. I have a background of working over 8 years with horses, farm animals, and house pets. I have vast knowledge with Horses, dogs, and cats particularly. I also have experience in round the clock care for animals with senior needs as well. I am excited to meet and care for some new pets:) Pet care fits in to my weekly routine easily, I am usually more available after 3pm and before 11 am. I am flexible with my schedule though and can move things around. How I care for pets in others homes is I make sure they feel comfortable first and foremost. If they don’t seem comfortable I keep my distance till they feel okay to approach me. I make sure they have water and food when arriving and leaving(food will depend on owners feed schedule). I also make sure they get lots of pets if they would like them and to make sure we get in play time. I also like to make sure potty breaks are frequent. When it is time to leave I make sure everything is locked up and look around for any hazards before leaving pets!

“Mackenzie was a God-send for us during vacation! She kept me updated, sent pictures, and was super thorough with the care of both my dog and cat. They are both on somewhat difficult diets and she went the extra mile to make sure they got what they needed. She was also extremely kind and considerate when my dog started having some separation anxiety. I will absolutely book with Mackenzie again!”
