Pet Sitting in Sloan

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!

“I’m so happy that I found Karen! She did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She sent so many photos and really made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”

“They did a great job keeping the place clean and taking care of my two cats. I got daily pictures/videos and could tell they did well bonding with the boys too. Will definitely reach out again for help! Thanks so much!”

About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay for my dream wedding! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, 2 cats, a crab, and even a jumping spider, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!

“Gina was AMAZING! She watched our cats over the blizzard Christmas weekend, and went out of her way to make sure our boys were still very well taken care of even despite difficult travel, etc. She somehow managed to figure out (without us telling her) that our one cat loved bubbles, and that made us so happy to know she tried different toys and put effort into her time with them. Because travel was delayed and difficult, she kept a very open line of communication and was very quick to respond to our worries about the storm, made sure we still had heat, etc. Can't recommend her enough!”

“Lauren did a fantastic job with the cats. I know because they were acting normally when I got home. Usually, my skittish guy would hide in the cellar for a day to get back to normal but he was perfect. She was very good about giving Callie her medicine too. It was very comforting to get the pics and comments each day. I knew the cats were in good hands.”

J D.

“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”

Bridget L.

“Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.”

Asia E.

“It was so reassuring to know my dog was in such good hands while I was away! Caitlin gave detailed daily updates and was flexible around some unexpected tummy trouble. I highly recommend working with Caitlin!”

Sydney B.

“Carolyn is amazing! She watched our cat while we were away on vacation. She administered medication every day and made sure to send us fun pics of our cat! She is hands down the best cat sitter on here!”

Daniel W.

“Gabriella has been awesome with Tank. She’s attentive to him and he always has a great time on their walks”

Gracie Z.

“Emma is wonderful, so caring to my Winnie. Sent so many photos of her walking, playing and eating! She really cares for your dog like they are her own.”

Casey B.

“Shannon is excellent! I feel comfortable going away knowing my fur baby is being well taken care of. Shannon put me at ease with sending updates and pictures throughout the time I was away. I highly recommend Shannon and I hope she is available in the future!”

Lauren C.

“Sheryl is the absolute best! She takes such good care of our guys when we are away. It makes our whole trip that much better knowing they are in such good hands while we are away. Thank you again.”

Nancy G.

“Rachel took such great care of my Loki and my apartment while I was gone. She was so wonderful with him and being able to inject him with the insulin daily. So thankful for her help!”

About: Hello, I have been a pet parent most of my life, starting out with a cat at a young age, adopting many more throughout my years and most recently becoming a dog mom. I've had special needs animals that require daily medication and a watchful eye. I currently have a senior cat that has been diabetic for the last several years, giving me experience with injection medicine daily. Because of this, I'm extremely comfortable giving medicine to any friendly animal that might need it. When it comes to dogs, I do not have breed restrictions, all breeds, sizes and ages are welcome. I have been walking dogs and caring for other animals in my communities homes for several years. I come highly recommended by all of my previous and current clients, and am happy to provide references to ensure you're comfortable with choosing me. I am available for drop-ins and dog walks from 6am -8pm, 7 days a week. Please feel free to message me for any availability outside those times, I'd be super happy to work with you! Upon entering the home, I announce my arrival so the animals in the home aren't spooked. While in the home, I do talk to all the animals and interact at their comfort level.

“She responded to my inquiry really quickly and was accommodating to my cats special needs. He gets insulin shots and it’s hard to find someone with the availability for his times shots and knowledge to do them. She was great!”

I am home all day and take my dogs for at least three walks a day and we usually visit a park daily.
