Personalized care for your dog or cat - Addison

“Tracy was great :) She is very friendly and accommodating, and took great care of my dog. I was traveling in from out of town, and I really appreciated her flexibility in planning for and taking care of my dog!”

“Perfect fit! After adopting a dog who has some reactivity, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone to watch her and the rest of our crew (4 cats, a rabbit, and chickens) when we went on vacation. Julie put me at ease from the moment I met her and assured me she and Sasha would become friends. She did a long visit before I left and was there when we left. She let Sasha come to her and they quickly became friends. I am so thankful we found Julie. I will 100% use her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.”

About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I also run a nonprofit animal sanctuary, so animal care is a major part of my everyday life. I have experience with rescue animals, seniors, shy and anxious pets, medication routines, mobility limitations, and animals who simply need a little more patience and understanding. Senior and special-needs pets are especially welcome. I’m comfortable helping with stairs, mobility support, medications, slower-paced walks, and adjusting care to whatever helps your pet feel safest and most comfortable. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets plenty of supervision, companionship, enrichment, and one-on-one attention rather than being left alone for long stretches. Most importantly, I treat every animal as an individual and try to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible while they’re in my care. I’m home full-time and animal care is already a major part of my daily routine through my nonprofit sanctuary and rescue. That gives me a very flexible schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort always come first. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take introductions slowly when other animals are involved. I’m experienced with rescue animals, seniors, anxious pets, and animals who need extra supervision or their own space. I’m also comfortable with medications, mobility assistance, crates, gates, and keeping pets safely separated when needed.

About: I’ve had many pets since a very young age, from small kittens that were 4oz that needed bottle fed to giant Rottweilers that weigh more than me. Feeding, bathing, grooming, walks, medical instructions, cuddling, potty times, etc. I work from home so I do my pets’ care during breaks, before and after working, and before I go to sleep for the night. Day to day basis. Sometimes if I get up in the middle of the night for the ladies room, I check on them before laying back in bed. I take care of them like a mother does for her baby, by giving and doing everything that needs to be done for your pet to be happy and healthy.

“Nicole was great! She handled my two big dogs like a pro and was great communicating with this anxious dog mom.”
