“Took good care of my cats and kept me up to date on how things were going. Really appreciated the daily pictures and adjusting visiting hours as needed. And thanks for going above and beyond with the vegetable tending and the gifts! Will not hesitate to call again. Thanks so much!”

“Our 4 cats love Tasha! She is reliable and very easy to communicate with — she even came to meet the cats beforehand so that we would all feel comfortable. I would absolutely use her again. Tasha is also very courteous, cleaning up stray litter on the floors so that we would come home to a clean house.”

“Marissa is an outstanding and reliable person to be offering her impeccable services in the EL area. We had a quick trip that we had not planned, and Marissa was quick to answer- even with the short notice! She’s very attentive to ensure that if you’re leaving an animal at home for a couple of days. That not only is your pet taken care of, but they have not gotten into any pesky business while you’ve been away. We always think of Marissa when it comes to animal services!”

“Shannon was great. She was patient, kind, and and willing to help with letting my cat outside and bringing her in. My cat get stir crazy after several days and I want to try and let her out. She was even willing to water the plants! Thank you Shannon.”

“My husband and I had Jillian check in on my cat, Tucker, while we were away, and she did an amazing job! She was able to capture some really cute photos and I could tell Tucker was in great hands. Thank you so much!!!”

About: I have loved every single creature since I was a child, and have always dreamed of working with animals. I have volunteered at Wildlife Rehab Centers and interned at Farm Sanctuary in 2017, testing the waters of different types of animals. Now, I'd like more experience with different types of dogs in hopes to get a job at a vet office in the future. I have been around dogs my entire life, including but not limited to Brittany Spaniels, German Shepherds, and my current pup, a Corgi/Schipperke mix named Axl. Dogs(and animals in general) have taught me so much compassion and patience and I can't wait to learn more, because I never stop learning from animals. I always look forward to spending large amounts of time with animals, and don't ever plan to stop! I have very flexible hours considering I work in a restaurant, as well as the convenience of living downtown GR and knowing all the best dog spots.

“Kimberly did a great job caring for our dog while we were away. Communication was good. Everything was completed exactly how we requested. I would recommend Kimberly to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of big & small dogs and even cats of many kinds & sizes too. Whatever is needed, I make sure it gets done properly and that the animals are happy. This is something for me to do in my free time, I work part time and am going to school. I can be flexible with notice. I have a very large property for dogs to run around on, however it is not fenced so a leash or something is needed for when outside.
About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!
“Thank you so much for going the extra mile with Mr. Energy!! That is so helpful and esp appreciated after these long busy shifts and the fact I’ve been getting home late and saves me from yet another walk in the dark.”
