“Cheryl is the BEST! She kept our dog and did check-ins with our cat while we were out of town. She updated us regularly, sent plenty of photos, and treated them as her own. We felt at ease knowing our babies were in her care. 100% recommend!!”

“Amy was very accommodating when I made changes to my schedule. She took very good care of our kitten and at first he seemed much better behaved, and we were calling Amy “the cat whisperer”. He’s back to his naughty kitten ways now 😀 I would recommend Amy as an excellent pet carer.”

“Ericca was great! Daily pictures and videos. Her two pups were so great with our dog. We got to go out of town with zero worries. I’d recommend anybody that is looking for a good pet sitter in the area to contact Ericca.”

“We left our 8 year old border Collie Mix with Laura for 5 nights and she and her family took excellent care of her! We received daily photos and message updates. Laura was professional and warm at the same time. We will 100% be booking with Laura for our future trips going forward! We could not have asked for a better sitter!”

I have a yard that is currently not fenced but that can be fixed, I will be home all day so I can attend to your pet, I have space for a kennel when necessary and live on a dead end which makes is easier for walks up and down the road.

About: I’ve been around all types of animals my whole life! I currently have a lab, Tate, and three cats, Sissy, Bovie and Gus. Experienced pet sitter! I have great flexibility and available most days and weekends! Let’s chat about what schedule works best for you and your pets and I can make it happen. Primarily willing to care for pets in the clients home. If you’re wanting socialization for your dog(s), my pup is super friendly and social! Otherwise, willing to fulfill whatever special care you’d expect for your babies!
About: I've had dogs for all of my adult life and I'm used to family member's cats, just don't have any of my own due to family allergies. I'm also keen to rabbits, chickens, and ducks for any of you backyard farmers here. I can administer medication if needed and trained my dogs as puppies. I'm by no means a professional trainer but I can help reinforce skills that may be starting to develop during my time with your pup. I have open availability since I stay at home and am in school, so I am very flexible to walking and caring for other's pets. I have a fenced-in yard for dogs to relieve themselves or play whenever. It would be easier to feed them at set times vs leaving food out due to my two year old playing in our dog's food if I leave it out

“Excellent experience. Cheryl was wonderful with our dog and kept us updated throughout the weekend on what they were up to. Our first time using Dogvacay.com but it won't be our last. Thanks Cheryl!”

About: I've grown up having pets since I was young, so I feel extremely comfortable with pets of all kinds and all sizes. I began house-sitting and pet-sitting in college, and since then, friends and neighbors have continued to trust me with their fur babies. Occasionally, I have needed to administer flea and tick medicines (pills and creams) or allergy ointments. I work outside of this, but I have flexible mornings that allow me to check on pets, go on walks, and I can also hang out with them at night, if necessary. As long as you’re comfortable, I’m happy to let myself in and out, as needed and if time permits, I’m able to spend overnights with your pets!

About: I grew up around dogs and always have had a special bond with them. I currently have a seven-year-old Aussie that I raised and trained myself. I currently have a full-time job so I’m more free on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. But I still have availability during the week just limited. My dog has a big fenced in area with an indoor and outdoor part, but she sleeps inside with me. I’m very well educated with moving dogs to pens or whatever needed.
About: While I don’t have any pets of my own, I have experience in taking care of family and friends pets, keeping them happy and healthy and having the owner satisfied with my work. I have fed, bathed, and walked pets all while keeping them safe. I work and volunteer part time so that leaves plenty of time to visit your pets! I can visit on tuesdays Wednesdays, and thursdays and some weekends! Unfortunately due to the apartment life I have no room to bring your pets to my home, which is also why I have no pets of my own, but at your home I will ensure that all your pet is safe and things will not harm him/her!
