Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sutherland

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sutherland
“Joan went above and beyond taking care of our dog Nala. The frequent updates gave us peace of mind while on vacation. And as any dog owner knows, that is priceless. Joan is a superstar in our book, and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter. We couldn’t possibly be happier!”

“My dogs love going to Christina’s to play on the farm and hang with her animal family. I struggled through a few sitters before I found Christina and we haven’t looked back since. Highly recommend!”

Cat caregivers near you - Sutherland

About: I’ve had cats since I was old enough to pay my own bills. I’ve watched neighbor’s cats and volunteered at cat rescues. I understand that they can get overstimulated and need time to approach you. I try to make sure they get that time and the attention they need.
About: Have much patience as I helped raise litters of puppies from 17 on, experience with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease) paralyzed, expressing bladders, dog grooming assistant for 2 yrs, cancer/kidney failure, comfort cares, giving meds, behavior/aggression issues and more :) Currently work another part time flexible job. I am a hard worker and learn things quickly. Pets have always been my passion to be around :) I always feed my pets before myself and they go out to use restroom the same most times. Safety is my top priority! Respect their space and property always.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sutherland
“Niki and Zach watched my dog Phoebe for a long afternoon. We went a little early to do a meet and greet with their dog and another dog they were boarding at the time. All the dogs got along well and Niki and Zach were genuinely happy to have Phoebe for the day.”

“My dog Riley was very well taken care of by Christina and her family. Loved her schedule flexibility. It was especially nice that Riley was introduced to her other critters. An opportunity she never gets often.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Sutherland
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and raised two wonderful lab puppies. I’ve cared for friend’s and family’s animals and have a calm patient approach to animal care. I’ve even had hamsters and chickens. I’m currently establishing a homestead with my two cats and ten chickens and working part time. I’m looking forward to growing my animal flock further in the next few years. Safety is my first priority so I make sure that I understand your animal’s needs and tendencies before coming in or out. Once I’m sure we are safe then it’s time to have fun in whatever way your pet likes. Some want a comfy snuggle and some need to work off some energy. I’m there for them.
