Kimberly is AMAZING! I can’t recommend her highly enough! I had to go out of town for a week, and she came by my house twice a day to take care of my kitties. She sent so many videos and pictures, it really made me feel at ease. I was nervous about the process, and I feel so lucky that I found her. She not only took care of my kitties in regards to feeding them and cleaning the litter box, she played with them and gave them attention and love. She also adjusted my thermostat for me and even swept up a mess my cats made when they decided to have a wild night alone. It is such a blessing and relief to have someone come into my home for a week while I was gone and know that everything in my home was safe and my two love bugs were completely cared for. I will definitely book her again, and can say that anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their furry family members. Kimberly, THANK YOU! You are a gem! You are so appreciated!

Our first experience with Leah has been great! She took perfect care of our 4cats. Leah is a great communicator and took good initiative when things arose that we hadn’t been able to discuss in advance. We’ll definitely feel our cats are in excellent hands when we have the opportunity to have her here again!

Hailey was extremely attentive to all my cats. She spent extra time with my girl upstairs who warmed up to her pretty quickly. My boys downstairs are very timid towards new people, and she tried her best to win them over. I appreciate the time she spent with them and definitely recommend her and would be happy to use her in the future if she is willing.

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 2 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.

About: Caring for animals is a genuine joy of mine! Growing up with a black lab, I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. Friends and family often trust me to look after their animals, because I’m dependable and enjoy spending time with them. I understand the importance of giving pets plenty of care and attention while also respecting their individual needs and personal space, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well-loved. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule, so there is plenty of time to care for your pets! I also love being active so I will happily get in as many walks as needed! In order to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me and with me in your home, I always request that we do a meet and greet prior to booking for the first time.

About: I'm passionate about studying animal behavior and emotion to make sure I'm building strong connections with pups I work with, I also have customer service experience, so I value both the human-animal connection and working with people to build strong trust, relationships, and provide value and clear communication in all stages of the process. I will also be obtaining dog-training certifications, as well as develop competency in medical training, and raising animals from birth to continue to develop my abilities and relationships with our furry friends that call us home! I'm currently working on a freelance basis, and value having a efficient blocked out schedule to always make sure that i'm prioritizing my time and being responsible with time-management I believe that as a caregiver, taking care of others pets as if they were my own, as well as a mirror of how you care for them. I believe in treating all animals, and animals I would be responsible for taking care of, with the utmost care and kindness because they deserve that as a bare minimum! I recognize that each animal is authentically unique, has their own quirks and sensitivities that need to be acknowledged in order to best take care of them. As a dog owner who has grown up with, taken care of rescues and purebreds, and raised rescues my whole life, I have seen the full spectrum of dog personalities and recognize that they all need to be treated with utmost respect and kindness, and treated differently based on what works best for their personalities, as well as their owners preference. Ultimately, I would treat any animal the way that I would treat my own furbabies, and however you would want your animal to be treated! I don't believe in using cellphones or devices around them unless it is calling for an emergency, and my full attention will be on taking care of them at all times.

About: I have 2 dogs at home back in Austin, one since late 2012, the other since early 2016. I've always gotten along well with dogs. I've found that most of them are very perceptive to who dog people are and they basically always recognize that in me. My dogs back in Austin helped me get through the day. Other than going to school at Hudson Valley Community College, there hopefully shouldn't be any scheduling conflicts. I try to make sure my dogs get enough attention, and usually we can count on each other for emotional support when they wouldn't prefer to spend time with the other members of my family.

Jenna was astounding. She was able to resonate with my cats in a way that I’ve never seen before - they are so shy and anxiety ridden, and she still managed to get them to warm up to her and make them as comfortable as possible while we were away. Being away from my cats is a big worry due to how much anxiety they possess, and Jenna made all of those worries disappear.
