Pet Sitting St James Place

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have owned and cared for them since I was an infant. Currently, I have five dogs of my own, all with different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with a wide range of needs and behaviors. Through caring for my own dogs, I am comfortable with feeding routines, walking multiple dogs, administering basic care, and maintaining structure and consistency. I understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s unique temperament. As a teacher, I bring a high level of responsibility, organization, and communication to everything I do. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, loving, and dependable environment. I currently teach full-time during the school year and am available for pet care in the evenings after 4:30 p.m., with flexible weekend availability including early mornings, evenings, and last-minute bookings. During the summer, my schedule becomes much more flexible, allowing me to offer a wider range of availability and better meet your pet care needs. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. During walks, I ensure dogs are securely leashed at all times, avoid unsafe areas, and tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m attentive to behavior and surroundings to keep every walk safe and enjoyable. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure your home is respected and left exactly as I found it. As a dog owner of five, I’m experienced managing different personalities and energy levels, and I bring patience, awareness, and reliability to every visit. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Mandy was amazing! She took great care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. She was very communicative and provided great updates and photos as to how my dog was doing. It’s comforting to know that my dog was safe and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a pet sitter! 10/10!!”

“Thank you so much, Courtney, for being so accommodating and flexible! I had some work-related issues and needed to move appointments around - I really appreciated how understanding you were regarding these changes!!! Thank you for taking care of my babies while I was away and making sure that they are well without me here!”

“Genniver was amazing! All three of my dogs loved her very much. My German Shepherd who is usually skeptical of strangers warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive and Informative and gave me great updates and pictures and videos of my pups while I was away on vacation which kept me with no worries. She gave them excellent care! I highly recommend her!”

“This is the 3rd time we have used Tim to watch our pups & it was our biggest challenge! THIS time we left 5 in his care that varied from 9lbs-80lbs & 2yrs old-13yrs old. Two of our fur babies have never been taken care of by anyone other than a close family member & normally always travel with us but circumstances did not allow this trip. In the past, we would have adjusted our travel plans & someone would have had to stay home but because of our past experience with Tim & our trust in him, we all were able to enjoy a family trip together. I am forever grateful to him! HE IS AMAZING!!!!”

“Pat is so amazing. She is wonderful, reliable and dependable. We know we can depend on her to take care of our cats while we are away. Thank you!”

“We have a long-haired Persian Himalayan cat who requires special care. This was our first time using a sitter and the Rover app, and we were very nervous since we were leaving for three weeks on the other side of the country. Erica was one of the first to respond to my message, and right away she put me at ease. I really appreciated her initiative to meet us and our cat beforehand. She was always punctual and friendly, carefully listened to all the details we shared, and followed the detailed instructions I had written about our cat’s habits and needs. Our cat is very timid but also affectionate and loving. It took Erica about five days to earn her trust. After that, she played with her, cleaned the litter box, refreshed the water, gave probiotics, brushed her fur, and wiped her eyes - everything was done with great care. At first, she checked in with us about some steps, but soon everything ran smoothly. Every visit included lots of photos, occasional videos, and a short description of how things went. We knew we had made the right choice leaving our cat in her care, and our little one was clearly content. We will definitely reach out to Erica again for our next vacation.”

“We are so grateful we found Mikelah! We were nervous about leaving our dog Sophie with anyone besides family or friends, but she made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. She was beyond amazing with our pets, very communicative, punctual, and thoughtful throughout every visit. Her photo updates were honestly the best and gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I've lived on a small farm since I was 10 where I've bathed, fed, and cared for multiple dogs, cats, chickens, goats and a bunny. Including puppies and kittens. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, provide grooming, medications, walks, and feed their pets. Often times stray animals will make their way into our yard and if they are injured, I'll care for them, feed them and foster them until I can identify their owners. I love all animals and consider each and every one of my pets as family. I am available during the morning and evenings on the weekdays, weekends, and on most holidays to care for your fur baby! At minimum, I spend an hour each visit to ensure your pet(s) are fed, clean, has had time to play and overall gets plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect and take care of the home and pet(s) as if they were my own. I create a fun, safe and comfortable space for both the owner and pet(s) as I continuously provide updates and/or photos of the pet(s) to the owners during each visit. Depending on the rules from the pet owner, at night I will ensure the pet(s) do get crated and are inside and safe for bedtime and dinner.
