“Shelly did an amazing job with my furbabies! Looking forward to booking with her again.”
About: Your dogs care is my top priority! I take on 1 household at a time so your fur babies will get all the care and attention they deserve and require. My name is Megan, and I am a lover of all animals! I had 3 cats for 17 years, and since they have passed, I very much miss having animals in my everyday life. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to spend time with your fur babies and will treat them like my own. In addition to owning cats, over the years, I have volunteered in animal shelters and have pet sat caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for animals needing iv fluids, with hygiene specifications, daily medication, and special diets. I have experience in massage therapy and will happily give your little one a therapeutic rub down! My attention to detail and love for animals makes me a very hands-on caregiver. I currently work in my towns school district (typically M-F 7am-2pm) just 2 miles down the road. I am off summers, major and religious holidays and am able to be home at 10:15 during my lunch break for 30min walks/visits so your pup would never be left alone for more than 3 hrs on days I work. I will always be transparent about my schedule and only ever accept jobs where I know I can give your animal the attention they deserve. I will be your pets main caretaker but I live with my retired mother, Donna, who is around at times to lend a helping hand. I am a homebody who also loves the outdoors. When I am not home, I love to go on hikes, visit parks, and take walks in nature. I prefer the company of animals to people, so I can assure you they will never want for attention or affection! I welcome as much information/details about your pets routine as possible so I can keep them feeling safe, happy, and regulated during their stay. Other than the few hours I may be at work, I spend close to every other minute with the pups I care for. I welcome your pets to sit with me on the couch and sleep with me at night! Unless it is your wish to keep them off furniture, where I go, they go :) I have a gated yard (44in) for your dog to run and play. I live on a long quiet street, great for our walks. I am close to several parks. I am happy to give your pet whatever activity level you desire and they feel comfortable with. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep our little buddy happy! I have a close family member who was a vet tech and has a vast working knowledge I can call upon if ever necessary. If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away!
“Yvette did an amazing job taking care of our cat during Thanksgiving this year! Holiday availability was a lifesaver for us. Cannot recommend enough!!”
“Karissa was great! We scheduled Karissa do a drop-in visit for our cat while we were away. Prior to the drop-in, we scheduled a meet and greet to make sure we were both comfortable with each other. She was very communicative, responsive, and completed all of our requested tasks. We will definitely reach out to Karissa again for future drop-ins!”
“Mersades did a wonderful job caring for our kitty while we were out of town. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a reliable, communicative cat sitter!”
“Mike was communicative, adherent to our schedule, and followed all instructions requested of him. He also sent a ton of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was refreshing to just be able to enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to others (just not during the times I’m away 😉)”
“Couldn’t recommend Mia enough! She took care of my cat while I was away for the weekend. She gave me consistent updates and pictures and took great care of my cat. Amazing sitter!”
“Jessica took great care of our kitties while we were on vacation. She sent photos and let us know how they were doing. They loved the playtime and attention she provided.”
“Was diligent and did an excellent work. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Janine was absolutely professional and efficient during her 8 days of care of my cat. She fed, played, and cleaned up after Graceson. I would recommend Janine in a heartbeat and will look to rebook if I need any future drop-ins!”
“Yasmine was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend! My girls aren't too difficult but they are certainly particular and Yasmine killed it. She stayed at my place for a week and when I returned, it looked exactly as I had left it. I've finally come home from a trip and genuinely felt like my girls were taken care of.”
“Olivia was absolutely phenomenal! We were going away for our wedding and I was so worried about who would be taking care of my cat Moka. I felt so sad leaving her behind. Olivia put me completely at ease! Her daily updates with pictures/videos were so detailed and calming that overall I felt so much less stressed. She is an above and beyond pet sitter! And I’m sure Moka misses her already :)”
“Bindu is amazing! She's very attentive and incredibly helpful, and did a great job taking care of my sassy cat. She was so gracious and humble in dealing with Peanut's quirks and going show with her. When I needed to extend my trip, she was super helpful!”
“Ana is so kind and she is great with animals. My cats warmed up to her right away and enjoyed having her around. I had no worries while I was away.”

About: *** PLEASE NOTE *** WE HAVE OUR OWN PERSONAL DOGS IN OUR HOME. PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A BOARDING IF YOUR DOG IS NOT DOG FRIENDLY!!! I have 10 years of experience working with dogs. I have experience with all ages, breeds, and temperments. I am pet first aid and CPR certified. I am also a professional dog trainer. My life is centered around the business I have built. My home is set up to accommodate dog boarding and daycare specifically. I am available everyday (including holidays) for daycare/boarding and I am available for walks, drop ins, and training sessions Monday to Saturday. In my home, I have designated areas for different age groups, energy levels, and even a specific room as a quarantine space if a dog is injured or sick and needs a quiet place to rest alone and away from the others. They are allowed on all the furniture as well as the beds. Dogs are only crated at owners request. I try to make them feel as at home as possible. I have a fenced in yard as well as a dog run I built on the side of my home to allow multiple safe places to play. I also mirror your routine as close as possible.
“Carol was excellent. She responded to my initial request promptly and confirmed the visit one day in advance. She arrived an 1/2hr earlier than scheduled. My dogs took an immediate liking to her. She took plenty of pics and kept me posted throughout the visit. I also want to mention how patient she was with my special need fur-baby Duke. Her patience, attention to detail and persistence is what Duke needed for his “special issue”. Thank you Carol. I will definitely rebook future visits with her.”
“Brittani is phenomenal. She cared for my fur babies (Frosty & Quinn) over 3 days and even got Quinn to partake in having treat. Thank you Brittani.”
“Very professional and courteous! Met my cats before the booking, then came for feeds and injectable insulin. Sent photos and a message letting me know they were doing well! I will definitely reach out and reserve again.”
