Pet Sitting The Lakes

“Alicia was an absolute joy to work with! She was so attentive and caring. Leaving my kitties is always very hard for me, but she made me feel at ease. She went above and beyond to play with and entertain my three cats. My cats are quite shy, but she was able to connect with them and make my time away from them comfortable. I can't recommend her more highly:) I feel lucky and am grateful for her professionalism and compassion for my pets. Thank you!”

About: I can’t help but feel my inner dog mom kick in when I hear someone say, "I’ll walk your dog and play tug-of-war with them!" And in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, "Okay, but are you ready to throw yourself in front of a squirrel for them?!" Lol. But seriously, my instincts to protect and nurture animals under my care runs very deep. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them with the same care and devotion I’d want for my own. I was blessed to be the mom of a miniature pinscher named Oakley. I cared for him as his full time mommy for the last 8 years of his life. In his final year, I was on constant alert, monitoring his breathing, fine tuning his diet, researching everything I could and working with vets to adjust his medications as his needs changed. He was my everything, and the thought of trusting someone else with his care, especially toward the end was terrifying. And I know I’m not the only one who feels that way about their pet. If you’re nervous about leaving your fur baby with someone new, I get it. But I hope sharing a little of my story reassures you that I don’t take this responsibility lightly. If your pet has special needs, you can trust that I’ll provide patient, attentive care. I know from experience that even the smallest details can make a big difference. I will never judge you for asking me to pay close attention to things that might seem unimportant to the average person. I will listen and do my absolute best to provide the best care possible. I follow instructions to the letter, take notes, and will go the extra mile to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. Need picture updates? Texts? Calls? No problem, I want you to feel just as at ease as your pet. They are our loved ones, and they deserve nothing less than the very best care and compassion. I’m down to earth, calm and easy-going, but also incredibly reliable. I have cared for pets all my life including dogs, cats and guinea pigs! I am comfortable around all pets and have been told on multiple occasions that I bring a calming presence to a home and that animals have a tendency to feel comfortable and safe around me. If you’re interested in scheduling a meeting or consult with me, feel free to reach out! I am here for you! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I repair musical instruments which I'm often able to do a lot of my work from home or where ever I am pet sitting. I'm also a music teacher but that is only a few hours out of my week. :) I have a first floor apartment with a contained dog play area right next to my apartment building. I live near the Lakes and am very familiar with lots of good walking routes in this area. I take dogs out for potty breaks often!

“Kimberly is awesome. She takes great care of our 2 cats and is super communicative. We will definitely invite her back as our cat sitter. Highly recommended!”

“My dog, Bowie is not an easy dog. Brenden was extremely patient and attentive with him. He offered peace of mind and provided constant updates of my fur baby as he tried to make friends with my challenging boy.”

Casey G.

“Daniella was absolutely amazing with my two fur babies! I needed her to drop in on them for a few days while I was away. This was the first time I had to be away from them and Daniella did an amazing job reassuring me that they would be okay. She had great communication skills and the pictures were so cute! I loved reading the little rover cars after her visits, it made me feel like I wasn't away at all! She is so sweet and I will defiantly be booking with her in the future!!”

Rachael Z.

“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of Buster while we were out of town. We felt very comfortable and relaxed knowing that our pup was in good hands. Thanks so much!”

Nick R.

“Connie is the most reliable and caring pet sitter we have ever had. Our cat loves her and that is not an easy thing to get out of Frankie. We highly recommend her but don't want her to be so busy we can't book her later :)”

Debbie M.

“Colleen is wonderful.. she is very trustworthy and treats our girls like family. She has been a life saver for my husband and I. We would be lost without her and our dogs absolutely love her?”

“Maria is the best. She treated our dogs so well and loved them while she was here. She made us feel so calm and secure while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again. Such a wonderful person and great experience.”

“Professional and reliable as always we have booked Bob and nobody else for years! Our fur and feathers are always well cared for. You will be very happy if you book this sitter!”

Janet W.

“Shelby was so good with my cat Wesley! She took the time to meet me/wesley beforehand, was reliable, and sent lots of pictures while she was watching him. Will be using her again!”

Heather H.

“Ashley was absolutely phenomenal caring for my pets while I was away for a week. Leaving your babies behind is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated my pets as if they were her own (even when Figaro got a little spicy). Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. When I returned home, my pets were happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and everything was exactly as it should be. It’s obvious that Ashley genuinely loves animals and takes great pride in providing excellent care. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and I would trust her with my babies again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive to care for their pets!”

Holly H.

“Lordyn was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! She kept me updated with messages and photos after every visit, which gave me real peace of mind knowing Aspen was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. Her communication was excellent, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about Aspen's well-being rather than just checking a box. It's never easy leaving your dog, but Lordyn made the entire process stress-free. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. I highly recommend Lordyn to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”

Andrew S.

“Rachel was prompt to all of her check-ins and always cleaned up after Ava. She was very gentle and patient with my older dog. I will certainly ask Rachel every time when I need a sitter!”

Andreah B.

“Breyan was AMAZING! 20/5 stars!! She was so communicative and checked in every day. She took great care of Huxley and was so sweet and considerate. She went above and beyond and did way more than I asked! I would definitely book with her again she is AWESOME”

Angelina R.

“I work a lot and she’s been so great being able to come over and give my baby his insulin shots which has taken so much stress off of me. Morgan is the sweetest!”

Alyssa J.

“Regina was so great! So nice, very responsive, and sent lots of photos of our cats and our place each day. She provided real peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
