Personalized care for your dog or cat - Galien

“This is the third time having Christina take care of our baby while being gone for several days and we’re so pleased with how well she takes care of him. He now eagerly greets her and is happy to see her when we drop him off. Our dog can be a challenge to have around other dogs and she’s done an excellent job handling that - he has also been dealing with hot spots that can get dirty when he plays outside so she gave him a bath and gave us a heads up regarding any issues - she even sent us a video of him enjoying getting dried off with the air dryer. We highly recommend her!”

“Bradley took great care of Miles and Lola! He kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the week, and they were well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and attention to them. We’d definitely book with Bradley again and recommend him.”

Lauren P.

“Tiffani was great to work with! She was very responsive and flexible when we had to adjust our pick up time. Our dog was exhausted (in a good way!) when we picked him up. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches.”

Emily C.

“Went above and beyond with my fragile old dog! Actually got him to eat, tried a number of things including sitting with him to get him comfortable...amazing.. he typically will not eat at any pet care situation but with this sitter he came home just like I dropped him off…normal. She is so sweet and caring such a good experience for him particularly because he just lost his brother. He also seemed to get on well with her doggy who was very friendly. Obviously, a very gentle and generous dog who shared his home with no difficulty. I can not tell you all the ways in which she supported my dog in this situation and what amazing communication she provided to ease my mind. Several pictures a day with details on his condition both emotional and physical. Do not hesitate to use this wonderful person and true dog whisperer! You will feel instantly comfortable and connected to your fur baby as you travel!”

Jeanine O.

“I felt very confident in Lindsay's ability with our Otis! She sent me photos and texts everyday to update me, and he seemed very happy there. He loved playing with her dog. At the end of the stay, I picked up a very happy, well-cared for dog!”

Hannah S.

“Lilliana was great and accommodated our change in schedule. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. She also took care of my pet's special needs..it was truly a pleasure to have Peachy in her care.”

Paulyn H.

“Andrea and paul were a godsend! I am an over protective pet parent and they both took hazels care as importantly as I do! I received communication while I was gone and pictures of hazel having a great time! I am so grateful that we have found someone as trustworthy as them! We are looking forward to booking again!”

Sarah S.

“Mary was fantastic with our dog Teddy! He's a little high maintenance and she was able to handle him with no issues, and we will definitely be booking again”

Nicholas B.

“Paul and Kelly (and kids) did a great job caring for our puppies. When we arrived for pickup, our puppies were happy and energetic. Paul and Kelly were very receptive to following our dogs’ schedules. We will definitely take them back to Paul, Kelly and the kids!”

Saige W.

“This was the first time I left my puppy. Even though I texted to check on him way more than I should have Nicholas never got upset and kept me updated with videos and answered whatever questions I had. Beaux was with him four nights. I would use him again and definitely recommend”

Qiana S.

“Laura took such great care of Chance while we were gone!”

Abby G.

“I am so happy to have found Betty to care for my sweet fur baby Bella. Bella is a 12 pound Rat Terrier and does not like to travel so It has always been very hard to plan trips with her. It breaks my heart to have to leave her behind so finding someone to care for her was very important and had to have a love for dogs. When I met with Betty before I decided to book her service, I had no questions that she would be the one to care for my dog. She has adorable dogs of her own and it made me happy to know that my dog would have others to play with her. I highly recommend Betty. Linda”

Linda R.

“Another great stay with Josie and Michael. I appreciate them so much. It’s nice to be able to go away and know that your babies are being cared for. Thank you!”

Michelle L.

“Haley is AMAZING! She took care of my 15 week old puppy last minute, and was super communicative. She sent photos and updates, as well as took him to socialize and made sure he was well taken care of. THANK YOU!”

Talia O.

“Emily was amazing! Gigi had the best time with Emily and her other pups while I was out of town. I appreciated how communicative Emily was during Gigi’s stay, especially because she sent so many pictures and videos of Gigi. I was so happy with how much fun Gigi was having. I’ll definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Either it being within the family or friends. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I have no concern adapting to your dogs unique needs. I work partly remote through the week. Allowing for pee breaks throughout the day. I have weekends open most of the time. It will be no problem to provide a comfortable stay for your pup. I have a fenced yard and safe house in a great neighborhood. I currently have one medium dog full time and my girlfriend has two small dogs here part time.

She truly cares about our babies (two Siberian huskies), gets their exercise in & shows them all the love. We 100% trust her with them and our home. People like her are hard to find.

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and following each dog's normal routine and care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're in my care, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they're being well taken care of. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to each pet's normal routine and needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to make them feel comfortable and cared for while they're away from home. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else's pet. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.

“Lynn takes really good care of my dog. She is very conscientious about his health and wellbeing, and she sends me multiple updates throughout the day. I highly recommend Lynn to take care of your dog”

“Olivia was very calm and friendly. Both with me and Webster. He actually seemed happy when I picked him up. That has not always been the case when he has been left with a caregiver.”

“Another great day at Hanna’s! We have now been to Hanna’s enough that Rubi got very excited as soon as we turned onto her street. They opened the door to the house and Rubi ran in and was ready to play. She always has a great time and is well cared for.”

Kim D.

“I knew right away our Pup was in good and loving hands. Betty is so kind and she let us know throughout the day how our little guy was doing. We would definitely use her services again.”

About: Over 10 years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. The Cavalier is a very playful instigator. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.

“Another week has ended with Jr going to Josie and Michael's home. He is always so happy to see them every morning. He comes home every night ready for a nap because he plays so hard while there. :-). I can not stress enough how happy Jr is there. Josie and Michael are absolutely the best for dog sitting needs. 5 stars!!!”

Brenda G.

“Thank you so much for the communication and the patience with my baby boy!!! Especially taking a three day job last minute! You’re amazing.”

About: I've had pets since I was a kid and I'm a huge animal lover — the go-to person for pet care among family and friends. I currently have three cats of my own, so I'm very comfortable in multi-cat households — reading their individual personalities, sticking to feeding schedules, and keeping stress low when routines change. My biggest test was house-sitting for a neighbor for a full week, managing 4 dogs and 3 cats at once — juggling different feeding times and exercise needs without missing a beat. I'm calm under pressure, detail-oriented with instructions, and treat every home with respect and care as if it were my own. I work full-time (9–5), so I'm available for in-home visits, dog walking, and in-home overnight care before work, after work, and all weekend. I'm also an early riser, so morning visits work well too. I'm flexible and can accommodate most feeding, play, or walk schedules around my job. I live in an apartment set up specifically with cats in mind — window perches, a self-cleaning litter box, and a wall-mounted cat jungle gym with climbing shelves and hideaways. My own cat Milo also enjoys supervised leash walks outside, so I'm comfortable and experienced with that if your cat is leash-trained too. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first, whether that means sticking closely to their routine or just giving them space to settle in. While cats are my specialty, I also have real dog experience — I've taken dogs outside to play in open spaces, and I know how to walk them confidently and keep them engaged. I once house-sat for a neighbor for a full week, caring for 4 dogs and 3 cats together. I'm also not afraid to set boundaries when needed, so your dog gets both playtime and structure.

About: I have had years of experience with kids from babysitting and being a camp counselor along with pet setting. Parents would rely on me to take care of the kids as well! I currently work as a registered behavior technician from 9-1 and I’m also a junior at iusb studying health science! My classes are online for the summer session. The dogs will always have my full attention so I can always make sure they aren't getting into anything along as always having a play mate! I will make sure they eat great meals and have a great time.

About: Animals have always been apart of my life. I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and hamsters. Animals bring out so much love and joy in my life and I give them all the love and care that I can! I make it a point to be well experienced and researched in their individual needs and behaviors to best care for them. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is open and flexible. Weekdays and Weekends are both open in my schedule and I can be accommodating. I am comfortable walking and playing with dogs/cats of all sizes, I am strong and know how to lead and divert unwanted behavior. I make sure water and bathroom breaks are a priority. I am comfortable crating if that is requested. I will always respect your pet and your home.

“Hannah was great! She was friendly and reliable, my dog loves her! She came every weekday for 3 weeks and he looked forward to her daily visits! She was always on time and we have already booked some more play dates!”

Angela E.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs with health problems all my life. I also worked at a cat cafe with all ages and sizes of cats. I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs as well. I’d love to care for your fur babies as much as you need! Need someone to stop by and take your pup for a walk? I’ll be there! Need someone to feed your kitty? I’m on my way! I spend my time caring for your animals. They are my number one priority! I am good at giving medications and caring for nervous animals.

“Lindsay was great! Very quick to respond and could walk Remy on short notice. Her and her kids even stayed to play with him a little in the house!! Would definitely recommend her to anyone”

Katie M.

About: Hello I am Emily! I am a great dog-walker, tug a war player and a responsible dog lover! My schedule is very flexible. I live just a block away from a big park. I have had big labradors all my life but I don’t discriminate! I love small and massive dogs alike. When I was younger I started a dog biscuit business and would cater dog parties. I hope you allow me the chance to get to babysit your 4 legged best friend! I am a small business owner and can typically step out of my store whenever your pup needs me. My shop is right downtown st. Joesph Working in clients home is best as my dog is a little to rambunctious at times. I’ve found it to be most comfortable for your pet to be in there own home with all treats, toys and normal comforts.

About: I have always grew up around dogs in my home and friends, family home. My grandma used to foster dogs and she taught me a lot I know about them including but not limited to administering shots and medications. I currently work full-time. However, the dog door and fenced in yard allows your dog to be out and roam freely while I am away. I am also okay to crate your dog if that is what you would prefer. When I get home it's usually clean, play, and dinner time. As the night goes on its movies and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door to let your dog(s) run around outside and play during the day freely as wanted. I love to take walks in the nice weather with the dogs and play fetch out in the yard. I have an indoor camera and outdoors cameras to keep eyes when I'm not home.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from farm animals to indoor pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles of my own, so daily animal care is already a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, administering routine care, potty breaks, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while in my care. I work full-time as a dental assistant Monday–Thursday, but I’m available before and after work and have full availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I make pet care a priority and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while with me. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention to keep them comfortable and happy.
