“Maria was a great sitter! She took very good care of our senior cat and sent great pictures each time. We could tell Lilly was well taken care when we got home and we would definitely rebook Maria for our next vacation!”
“Onyx loved Allison. She took time to play with him and loved lying in her lap! He is a love bug. She came back to drop off my key and he was playing with her feet and shoes! She's the best! I also received some cute pictures daily!”
“Ellie is the absolute best! My animals adore her. She takes her job very seriously. Ellie stays at least a half hour for EVERY visit. She gives my animals so much love and affection. If they need medication Ellie makes sure they get it. We have total piece of mind when we go away now. Thanks to Ellie.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have always loved to take care of them. I am good with any kind of dog! I am also a cat lover. I have never had cats personally but I have many friends who own cats. I have helped friends out when they have gone away and taken care of their cats. I am a teacher and off in the summers so I can take care of needs anytime in the day and day of the week I am used to walking dogs on a leash with or without a harness. I am used to a dog that pulls. Dogs are fed twice a day and taken out multiple times.
“James is an extremely diligent and considerate pet sitter. I can be a bit of a helicopter pet parent, but I don't have nearly as much anxiety about leaving my cats knowing that James is staying with them! He went above and beyond to care for them, especially our 17 year old cat with special needs. He is also excellent at communication! I highly recommend James to anyone!”
About: My favorite dog training books are the Art of Raising a Puppy and How to be Your Dog's Best Friend, by the Monks of New Skete! I walk nearly every day and look forward to the company of a dog. I walk for my health, and I'm confident it'll provide the same benefits for your loved one. I'll be walking your dog with safety first in mind. I expect challenging dogs will learn to walk better with my service. Training collars are recommended for dogs learning to walk properly.
“Shannon was the best. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties in her hands. She sent pictures every day and was always in communication. Definitely would hire her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to calm seniors. Since I was 10, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time starting at 5 PM, so I’m fully available during the day for walks, drop-ins, or daytime boarding. I'm also available on weekends and holidays depending on your needs. I don’t currently have pets at home, so your dog will have my full attention. I can care for pets in your home or mine, and I'm comfortable with crates if needed.
About: I've had animals as a part of my life for almost ALL of my life. Three cats who lived good long lives and 5 dogs (3 from pups and two rescues). This doesn't even mention the greater family tree with tons of cats and dogs around. I'm the person that chills with the animals at the party. I have a lot of time to take care of your small furry child. I have a few meetings through the week but lasting only 3 hours, I can run back at any point to lavish your pet in love and attention. Due to the nature of our rescue at home, I'm well rounded in procedures and safety precautions. Any routines or needs your baby has, I can and will accommodate. I'm on alert to make sure everyone is happy and copacetic.
About: I’ve grown up in a household with lots of animals. I put 10 years of experience because that’s when I was old enough to take care of them on my own; but have been around animals all my life! I currently reside with 1 daschund, 2 pit bulls & 1 mini australian shepherd. I have experience with those breeds as well as poodles , boxers, and german shepherds. I’ve even sheltered turtles, fish, deer, snakes and hedgehogs ! For specific times shoot me a message we can figure it out! Primarily can work around your schedule. I am busy 10am-7pm Sunday , Monday and Tuesdays I would much prefer to come to your home and care for you animal as it makes them feel more familiar and comfortable. My home is currently under renovation so it is not a place for other animals. Thank you for your understanding.
“I found Adriana to be a genuinely concerned, personable and intelligent sitter/companion to Kali ( the Calico) while I was away. She made it a point to befriend Kali and sent pictures every time she visited. I will definitely ask her to sit, the next time the need arises.”
About: I have been around pets since I was born. We grew up with numerous cats and dogs. I have always helped to take care of feeding them and grooming them or helping them to the vet. I am an animal lover at heart. I probably love them more than humans. I help out my dad with his dogs, my sister with her cat snd dogs and local friends with theirs. I am dependable and reliable. I teach during the school year but i am available all summer long. Even during the school year I am able to help out on evenings and on weekends. Just let me know where and when I can help out. Like I said i am a true animal lover. <3
