“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“Sydney is AMAZING! She's taken excellent care of our pups whether a long weekend or stopping in during the day. She is always on time and responds right away, which I appreciate.”
About: I've worked with newborn kittens to geriatric dogs and have loved every minute. Initially, I watched my friend's animals when they went away. Referrals had me working around the whole neighborhood. When I moved, I wanted to recreate the network of animals and people I loved, but had other responsibilities to prioritize. Now, I have the availability to pursue pet sitting again. My schedule is flexible, and I can be available any morning, afternoon, or evening to fit your needs. I'd be happy to stop by or video chat before you leave to coordinated introductions. I care for pets in their own home. I cannot board animals. I'm careful to keep the key on its own key ring so it doesn't get mixed with my personal keys. I'm happy to use cleaning tools/solutions that are available in the home so as not to agitate any sensitivities if mess cleanup is needed.
“Kat is Amazing. This was her first visit with our dog Fergus and je had a great time. She arrived at our agreed time and took wonderful care of our boy. We will definitely be using Kat again to care for our boy.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off for the last twenty years. I have two dogs with disabilities, a deaf cattle dog and an anxious sharpei-boxer with GI issues. I understand dogs and connect easily with many kinds of animals. I’m comfortable giving medications and working with reactive/anxious animals. My work is remote, freelance, and very part-time. My schedule is very relaxed and open. I prefer to spend time with my pets or others’ pets. When I enter a clients home I’m there for the animals. I’m mindful and respectful of their property and space. If I’m there for a walk, I’ll get the pup harnessed up and ready to go as soon as possible, according to the needs of the dog. If I’m there for a drop-in I’ll make sure I do what I’m there to do.
“As always Rachel made our pups day! Lexi gets so excited and Rachel zeroes in on her wants and definitely spoils her. Makes our time away soo much more enjoyable knowing she is well cared for!”
“Bridget is amazing! Super attentive to detail and left us with daily updates while we were away, so we knew our two shy cats were in great care. Highly recommend. Thank you Bridget!”
“Kaelee was very prompt in her responses. She made sure she met our Mya ahead of time and verified days and times. We appreciated getting photos from drop in visits.”
“We rebooked with Lexi this time for drop in visits for our cat and to refresh water for our chickens - she was on top of it! Appreciate her good care with our animals.”
About: I currently work at a pet store, meaning I work with all types of animals, but dogs being the most common one. I am the perfect fit for your fur babies. I am still a high school student, but I work for a pet store meaning I care for pets while at work and at home! I will be very slow and careful when first meeting your pets. When going outside I will make sure they are leashed and or harnessed.
“Lauren was a wonderful sitter. She stepped in last minute after I had a cancellation and was so stressed about finding someone. She took great care of my 3 kitties and was great with communication. I very much appreciated the picture updates and detailed notes she left for me each day. I would highly recommend her services and look forwarded to booking her in the future.”
“Aubreigh is so kind and sweet. We were super nervous about letting someone in our house to care for our pets but she put us at ease. She had great contact with us and lives in our dogs like they were hers. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her.”
