About: You can trust me with your babies! With over 6 years experience I’ve raised and cared for a variety of doggies and cats. Ranging from tea cup pups to a great pyrenees! Our home is clean, safe, and filled with love. We are excited to welcome your baby into our home. I am a stay at home mom to one toddler. We enjoy playing outside, taking walks, and cuddling on the couch. Your fur baby will have free roam in our home, as many bathroom breaks as needed, and you can rely on me to keep a strict schedule with feeding. Your fur baby will be able to enjoy their stay here as much as we enjoy them visiting. We offer a comfortable home like environment, unlimited bathroom breaks, walks if permitted, and low or high energy engagement based on preference of fur baby. I allow pets on furniture and free roaming throughout my home. *If you’d prefer kenneling and restriction to furniture please let me know* PLEASE NOTE: A KENNEL/CRATE IS REQUIRED FOR BOARDING TO ENSURE PETS ARE SAFE WHEN THERE IS NO DIRECT SUPERVISION. EX: NAP TIME, BED TIME, TRIPS TO STORE etc ***MUST GET ALONG WITH OTHER PETS BIG AND SMALL*** **** MUST NOT HAVE A HISTORY OF BITING, MARKING IN DOORS, & ANXIETY DEFECATION****
About: I've been pet sitting and farm/house sitting since I was about 14 years old and grew up with animals of my own on my parents' farm. I'm super excited and also very confident in my abilities to watch and care for your pet as if they were my own! I work remotely, so I'm able to cater my schedule to the needs of any pets I'm sitting. This could mean early morning and evening walks, mid day check ins, etc. I take notes on what the owner typically offers the pet in their normal day to day and incorporate that so the pet feels as comfortable as possible. However, I will ask if your pet (if a dog) is up for a daily hike as this is what I do by myself regardless. Secretly looking for a hiking buddy 👀
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.
“Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!”

About: Taking care of animals is my second nature. I grew up with animals; horses, cats, dogs, birds, rodents my entire life. I naturally feel their needs and have an unconditional love for animals I am super flexible for the summer. Tell me where you and your pet need help and I'm sure that we can work it out. I have a dog myself who loves to join walks. He is very well behaved and has taught several young dogs the code of social and healthy dog behavior. Of course I will keep your dog on a leash or in a crate when necessary
“Adrienne was fantastic with our cats, while we went away. She took great care of them and was extremely reliable and responsive. We got detailed daily updates throughout our trip and were able to relax knowing that our cats were well looked after. Many thanks Adrienne, we will definitely be reusing your cat sitting services again!”

“Colin did a great job taking care of our animals while we were on vacation. He was great with communication and always kept me up on how things were going. It was great to feel comfortable leaving on vacation and knowing our animals were well cared for.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and they seem to love me and trust me and now in the past several years cats too! I'm retired fit guy with flexible schedule. I'm in good shape, go to gym regularly and walk 3 to 5 miles daily so walking even biggest dogs won't be daunting Dogs trust me. At my home and yours, there are walks in the neighborhood and nature. Endless affection, playtime and positive experiences with a gentle hand and manner. Our pets are family and become a natural part of our lives giving peace and love.
“Christina was amazing! She was understanding and patient with my anxious pup, and capable of handling my dog-reactive one. I always worry that my roughhousing, loud dogs will be too intense for people, but Christina's experience proved to be a perfect fit! I would definitely recommend her as a sitter :)”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid, and even had the opportunity to volunteer at a boarding place when I was 8 where I got to play with, help train and take care of the dogs that came through. I’ve being pet sitting for about 3 years now for friends, neighbors, and strangers I’ve met through others I have previously pet sat for. I’m currently a full time college student and have been needing some extra money to help me get through, so I thought this would be a perfect fit! I have a large fenced yard with two dogs and two cats who my family and I love dearly. One of our cats was actually a pregnant stray who we brought in, and had a litter of 7 kittens!

About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working full time as a CNA, my schedule is kinda wacky. I work PM shifts from 2:30pm-10:30pm, on a four on and two off rotation. In my own home I have reptiles and two cats, sometimes we do have a dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.
About: Hi furry parents! I'm a wildland firefighter being laid off for the winter and in need of some quality fur baby time. I have helped countless family members and friends with pet-sitting. My family has had dogs, cats and birds ever since I was 3. I'm looking forward to spending more time with animals and will care for them like my own! We can work out whatever system is best for you and your pets comfort and needs-whether that's multiple walks a day or rest time for older pets. I have been known to be attentive to animals energy. Whether they are annoyed, playful, curious, not feeling well or ready for a W-A-L-K I anticipate to open myself up to their mood! I hope you'll consider me for reliable care for your pets :) In accordance with my availability I will be nearly free while I am furloughed. More time with your pets for walks, medicine, cuddles, whatever your pet seems to need. :) At the time I am only available for in-house pet sitting in your home. I'll be sure to pre-negotiate where in your home I am permitted and where you would like to keep your privacy. I'll be sure to be respectful and abide by your guidelines always.
“Irene was a great kitty sitter! Harald was well taken care of (despite telling us he was starving to death, but he tends to be dramatic) and there were zero issues. Being able to ask her last minute for a holiday sitting job was great, too. We totally recommend her. :)”
