“We love, Leslie. She’s very sweet sweet. She does a good job walking our senior pup. She communicates very well and has been available for us scheduling wise and last minute.”
2. Dana Z.
“Dana is absolutely wonderful. Our dogs LOVE her and their time together on walks. She is very communicative, takes great care of them as if they were her own, and listens to any instructions I may have about their care. She takes plenty of pics and gives tons of love. She makes sure that they have fresh water after every walk and if my skittish dog is in his kennel when she arrives because we are not there, she makes sure to out him back in after some loving. I can’t say enough good things about her and the care and live she puts into watching and taking care of others pets. Thank you, Dana!”

About: Pet Care Experience: I have a strong background in caring for cats and dogs, with a particular focus on feline companions. In fact, I currently share my home with five loving cats, which has given me valuable insights into their unique behaviors and needs. Specialization in Cat Care: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive experience and dedication to cat care. I've worked extensively with cats and even volunteer at PetSmart, where I provide care and attention to feline friends in need. Customized Care: I understand that every pet is unique, and I take a personalized approach to ensure their well-being. For cats, I make sure litter is scooped daily to maintain cleanliness, and for both dogs and cats, I ensure that their bowls are cleaned after eating, promoting good hygiene and health. Handling Special Needs: I have experience with pets that may require special attention or have medical needs. I follow specific directions provided by pet owners diligently to ensure their pets receive the care they deserve, whether it's administering medications or adhering to dietary restrictions. Additional Services: In addition to in-home visits, I offer boarding services for cats, providing a comfortable and safe environment for them when their owners are away. Communication and Understanding: I believe that open communication is key to successful pet care. I make it a point to listen to each owner's expectations and preferences, ensuring that I understand their pet's routines and needs. Ultimately, what sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing exceptional care for your furry family members. I treat each pet as if they were my own and go the extra mile to ensure their happiness and well-being. I am currently working from home, which allows me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that your beloved pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Flexible Availability: For cat owners, my availability is incredibly flexible. I can board cats any day of the week, providing them with a safe and comfortable environment in my home. Home Visits: I can make morning and evening visits to your home, ensuring your pets receive the exercise, companionship, and attention they need to thrive. In cases where it's necessary, I can spend the workday at the owner's house, provided there is internet access for me to continue working remotely. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I'm committed to meeting their specific needs. Caring for Pets in My Home: In my home, your pet will experience a welcoming and comfortable environment with plenty of room to roam and play. Here's how I ensure their well-being: 1. Ample Space and Enrichment: I have a fenced-in yard where pets can enjoy outdoor playtime in a secure environment. Additionally, I have two spare bedrooms that your pet can have free range in, providing them with a change of scenery and ample space to explore. I also have extra scratching posts for the feline friends who enjoy them. 2. Separation for Safety: During your pet's stay, I make sure to separate my own pets from the guest pets. The spare bedrooms are closed and off-limits to my resident pets, ensuring a stress-free environment for your furry companion. 3. Interactive Playtime and Attention: I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets. Whether it's playing with toys, engaging in interactive games, or simply cuddling and providing pets, I make sure your pet receives the love and attention they crave. 4. Adherence to Feeding Instructions: I respect the feeding instructions provided by pet owners. Your pet's dietary needs and feeding schedules will be followed diligently to maintain their routine and ensure their nutritional well-being. 5. Individualized Care: I understand that each pet has their unique preferences and requirements. I'm committed to providing individualized care, tailoring my approach to meet the specific needs of your beloved pet. 6. Special Considerations: If your pet has any special needs or requires additional accommodations, I'm more than willing to discuss and implement them to ensure their comfort and safety. Your pet's happiness and comfort are my top priorities, and I strive to create a home away from home experience where they can feel relaxed and cherished during their stay.
