“Caroline R. was an awesome pet sitter for our cat that we left home for the 1st time. Caroline is very professional, friendly, punctual, and communicates very quickly to all of our messages. We can be a bit high maintenance at times, and she accommodated us perfectly. Highly recommended!”
“Our second review: Renee has been taking care of our little fur babies for more than 2 years now. They love her and she is the only one we trust our home to when we go on vacation.”
“This was our first time using Rover but also having someone other then a family member watch our 2 dachshunds. They can be picky on who they let into there circle and they had no issue warming up to Kelly right away! We were very nervous but Kelly was so calm and made us at ease while we were out of town. I can’t not say enough good things about her! I wish I could explain how much a relief we got knowing our babies were comfortable with Kelly and were taking such good care of! (Our dachshunds are our everything!) We will 1000000% be using Kelly in the future! She was amazing!!!!!”
“April was amazing!! She communicated everyday and made us feel at ease knowing our cat was well cared for! I know our cat loved her and we absolutely would use her every single time!”
“Elena did a fabulous job with my cats! She took extra time to make sure she had the routine done correctly, since it was her first visit with my 4 felines. She was on time and promptly communicated any concerns. I have already scheduled future visits with Elena!”
“My regular pet sitter was no longer able to come watch my cat so shortly before I was going to leave town and luckily Theresa was able to help me out!! It means the world to me to know my fur baby was taken great care of!🥹”
About: I’ve loved animals since a child. I have 2 decades of experience taking care of dogs. I love to give them affection and care for them. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for pets. I am home nearly 90% of the time. Pets are friends! I have a large backyard where I have a temporary fence and enclosed play area for your pets. It is safe and the home is secure. My husband and I work together as we both enjoy working with animals.
About: I would love to take care of your pets while you're away. As a pet owner, I fully understand the struggle of planning trips and holidays. I also understand the necessity for loving and compassionate care for animals that are away from their own families. Any pets brought to my home will receive the same love and care that my own pets do. I have had cats and small animals for pretty much my entire life. There was never a time when we didn't have pets in my household. I have cared for cats and dogs of pretty much all ages. In addition to my experience caring for my own household pets, I have also worked at a professional dog boarding establishment and have roughly 15 years of pet sitting for friends and family. I have handled first aide, administered medication, de-escalated conflict between animals, and nursed orphaned newborn kittens (even a squirrel once!). I have worked with professional dog trainers with my own dog for the past year and have improved my understanding of dog behavior and enrichment needs. I also have experience caring for rodents and I have recently jumped back into the world of rat keeping. I would love to care for your smaller fur-babies while you're away. I am a stay at home parent, so I will have no problem making time to care for all of the animals in my care. The safety and comfort of pets in my care is my top priority, my animals are beloved members of the family and their needs are valued as equal to the rest of the family. While your pets are with me, they will be treated as a member of the family. I understand that animals require a lot of care and patience, especially in new environments. I will make sure that they get all of the attention and both mentally and physically stimulating activities that they need for a fully enriched care experience.
About: I have my own dog and cat and have grown up helping my neighbors with their dogs and cats! I have also dog sat before! I am open to having a very playful time and also a nice cuddle session! I love being around animals, as I also volunteer at animal shelters consistently just to give them the love they deserve. I am open for availability at the moment! I am a college student so I am back for the summer and winter time frames! And plan on continuing this job while at school as well! At home I walk my dog twice a day and feed her twice a day as well. I spend a lot of time with her when I am at home from school. Giving her all the love and attention she needs, she loves going to the park to run around and play so I try to give her that time at least twice a week as well! For my cat I feed her twice a day and am interactive with her with play time! She only really cuddles with me and my brother so I am always giving her the love she wants and knowing when she doesn’t want any. Both of my pets are pretty dependent on me for attention and I am always willing to give it to them!
About: I have two energetic chocolate labs (a 12 year old and a puppy) and love caring for them and taking them for walks. I'm confident in caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I know how important it is to have someone show up on time and I will ensure your pet gets the best possible care. I mostly telework, giving me the flexible schedule for frequent house visits and dog walks during the week. I'm usually available on weekends to provide additional pet care. I prioritize daily walks and outdoor playtime for my dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for special needs dogs, particularly after my twelve-year-old Lab underwent two knee surgeries. Thankfully, she's now fully recovered and still full of energy!
About: Unfortunately, working and moving a lot. I cannot give the best life to my dog and cat anymore. I had to leave them with my brother but I would love to give some support to pet owners who are busy due to work and life. Monday to Friday after 6 pm. Weekends and holidays all day long. I love going for walks, feed them, or I have them over the weekend. I would love to give a house and take care of pets in my apartment. I live by myself, but I work a 9-5 job.
“Tori thoroughly enjoyed Carolyn's visits: on each visit Tori purred, sat in Carolyn's lap, rolled on the floor, sprawled in the sunny window. She loved Carolyn and we loved receiving daily videos and photos of our kitty, which gave us piece of mind and made us smile every day. Carolyn was excellent at keeping Tori well fed, litter box cleaned, plants watered, mail collected. She's a delightful person and we look forward to booking Tori's next stay with her.”
About: I am a nursing student with a flexible schedule perfect for being able to check in with furry friends and take the time for proper care. I've grown up with a house full of pets my whole life and love walking and running with dogs. I've taken care of various size dogs and have experience with multiple dog sittings as well. I also have experience with dogs of various ages from new puppies to older dogs. I love to exercise so I can take your pups on nice, long walks. I love animals deeply and always have taken a dog's care with the utmost importance. I also have experience with other pets in the home such as cats. Respectful and quality care is the most important values to me. I am a nursing student that has flexibility and time off in the middle of the day to help care, exercise and walk your dog. I will make sure the dog is in a safe environment and free from anything that could cause harm. I also am detail oriented and ensure animals have the necessary resources and time and attention in their homes.
