“This was Goose’s third time with Marissa, and she was great, as always! She was flexible with my last minute schedule changes and communicative while we were away. She always gives thorough updates and pictures. Appreciate Marissa dropping in on Goose, and it made our trip less stressful knowing she was there!”
“Samantha offered excellent care and attention to my little kitty. My cat is not one to snuggle with just anyone. Samantha worked to engage her and to give her the cuddles while I was away. She communicated and offered nice pictures of my little girl. She helped when a last minute issue led to a couple of extra days. Thanks for Great care!”
“Tristen was wonderful with my dogs. One of my dogs was very depressed that we were gone and he kept hiding upstairs. Tristen made a point to find him and leave him water (which he did drink). By the end of our vacation my dog was coming out of his shell. My other dog was Tristen’s shadow and loved having him!”
About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.
About: I grew up in a household with many pets of all kinds, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter, worked in a pet store, and even worked with some exotic animals too. I’m comfortable around animals and I work hard to insure they feel safe and active with me. I am able to read a pet’s body language and communicate well both verbally and nonverbally. Every animal is different and has their own unique personality, and it’s a joy and reward to get to know each one. I have a flexible schedule and have experience long term housesitting (up to a month at a time). I work for myself so I can be really flexible with availability. I am happy to be able to tailor my care to your pet and their usual routines. I follow all instructions given to me on pet/home care. I treat the animals and home as if they were my own. I am a neat & tidy person, generally a homebody in the evenings, and I am a respectful sitter of both my clients and their lovely pets.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
About: I’ve grew up with dogs since I was 2 years old and I’ve always been attached to them. Any family member who had a dog, I’d always be over and take them on walks, feed and bathe them..it was always just an automatic reaction for me. In middle school, my cousin and I raised money by coming up with a dog walking job. We use to make signs after school and post them and/or walk with them. We got about 2 pet owners. Just recently, I was heading to work and found an oversized bull dog walking in the middle street and people trying to make her get out of it. I immediately stopped my car and wouldn’t leave until I got her in my car and my spouse and I went and got her food. My manager ended up taking her to the animal rescue. So, dogs have always been apart of my life! I currently work part time so I’ll be available majority of the time to care for your pet needs with no problem! I also have a 16 month old son so certain hours will be his nap time but I will give details when booked. I have two small fur babies and a toddler that will keep your pet company, we have a yard where exercise and fresh air will be guaranteed. If needed your pet can be crated at ur proposal.
