“We're so glad we found Shea and her kids to check in our our 3 cats while we were away on a trip. We were able to leave our cats at home where they were most comfortable, and we didn't have to worry, knowing that we had a very experienced cat sitter! Thank you so much!!!”

“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter! She is so sweet to my animals and always puts my mind at ease when I’m away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone! :)”
8. Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn regularly watches my 2 year old cat, Moss. Moss is generally pretty neutral or indifferent to most people, but it’s safe to say that Kaitlyn has totally wormed her way into Moss’s tiny little heart. I trust Kaitlyn completely to provide loving and fun care for Moss in my absence and also in my presence. She has such a love for animals and truly makes a great friend for your pet, not just someone to watch them!”

“Hayley has been dog and house sitting for several years. Hayley loves animals and is incredibly mature and responsible. She takes her time to ensure her clients are well fed and hydrated, walked and overall extremely happy. I would hire Hayley anytime and recommend her for any of your dog sitting or dog walking needs.”
11. Alexandra R.
“Alex has worked for me at Dogwood Acres Pet Retreat as a Pet Attendant and Doggie Daycare Attendant for the past couple of years. She is dependable and hard working. She enjoys her work and seeing her four-legged friends. She loves dogs of all sizes and breeds. She has an excellent understanding of dog behavior and pet first aid. I highly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive background in animal care and behavior. I have training in handling a variety of pets, which allows me to cater to their individual needs. For example, I specialize in training puppies, focusing on basic commands and socialization skills. My experience includes positive reinforcement techniques that help build trust and foster a healthy bond between the puppy and their owner. Daily Routine: Morning Care: Feeding: Start the day by feeding pets their breakfast. This may include preparing food, ensuring fresh water is available, and cleaning bowls. Exercise: Take dogs for a walk or let them play in the yard. For cats, this could involve interactive playtime with toys. Midday Check-in: If possible, check in on pets during lunch. This can include a short walk for dogs or some bonding time with cats. Evening Routine: Feeding: Serve dinner for pets in the evening. Exercise/Playtime: Spend quality time engaging in play, walks, or other activities that keep pets active and stimulated. Night Care: Ensure pets are settled in for the night, which might involve letting dogs out for a bathroom break or giving cats some cozy time before bed. Weekly Routine: Grooming: Schedule regular grooming, such as brushing fur, bathing, or nail trimming, depending on the type of pet. Health Checks: Monitor pets for any signs of illness or discomfort. Weekly checks can help catch small issues before they become bigger concerns. Quality Time: Set aside specific days for longer outings, like hikes or visits to a pet-friendly park, ensuring pets have varied experiences. Training Sessions: Dedicate time for training or reinforcing commands with pets, which can strengthen the bond and improve behavior. Supplies and Maintenance: Allocate time weekly to restock pet supplies like food, litter, or toys, and clean pet areas to maintain a hygienic environment. Creating a routine that includes these activities can ensure pets are well-cared for while also fitting seamlessly into a busy lifestyle. Adjustments can be made based on the type of pet, their needs, and individual schedules. Pet Sitting: Stay overnight or spend extended periods with the pet, providing additional companionship and care. Dog Walking: Tailor walks to the dog’s needs, considering the length, pace, and route based on the dog’s breed and energy level. Grooming: If offering grooming services, include bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning as needed based on the pet's breed and coat type. Clean Living Space: Ensure the pet’s living area is clean, including regular changes of bedding, cleaning litter boxes, and picking up after dogs outside. Toys and Enrichment: Provide appropriate toys and mental stimulation to prevent boredom, using puzzle toys, training exercises, or play sessions. Feeding: Adhere to the dietary guidelines provided by the pet owner, including portion sizes and feeding times. Ensure fresh water is always available. Exercise: Engage in daily walks, playtime, or other forms of exercise appropriate to the pet’s breed and age. Bathroom Breaks: For dogs, establish a regular schedule for bathroom breaks. For cats, ensure litter boxes are clean and accessible.

“Victoria is fantastic! She always checks in promptly and always goes the extra mile to make sure my cat feels safe and comfortable. I always know my pet and home are in good hands with her!”
15. Talia & Kelsie M.
About: My cat at home is a little skiddish but I am her person. I feel like I know how to read cats well to make sure they feel safe, happy, and if lucky cuddly. Would be super happy to be able to hangout w your cat! I have lots of time to hangout w a pet! I have classes for an hour or two a day and then come right back home. All my windows have screens and even a fenced in yard. I have ac to ensure there’s no overheating with the strong summer heat, wahoo
16. Kelsie G.
“Kelsie has been around pets all her life. At home she takes great care of Abby, the family dog, and has helped pet sit while neighbors are on vacation. While in Hawaii, she was a foster for a dog from the shelter for a couple weeks. It was hard for her to return the dog to the shelter. She fell in love with the dog. That is a testimony to her love of pests. I know, without a doubt, that Kelsie would be great at this job and for your company. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any further question. Thank you Jim”
17. Lance N.
“Lance is absolutely awesome with dogs. He’s been a dog lover and owner his whole life. He started showing dogs at AKC sanctioned shows about ten years ago and successfully helped dogs achieve champion and grand champion titles. He has many years of experience working with dogs and is a reliable, responsible and caring pet caregiver. Highly recommend!!!”
18. Mike A.
“Mike is awesome. He cared for our four -- yes four -- mostly mixed-breed, medium/large pups and at no time did they ever seem too much for him, and they all loved him. He was attentive, took them into our yard for play and gave them lots of affection and comfort while we were away. Would we use him again? In a heartbeat.”
19. Milan G.
“Mila dog sat for us for a weekend and was the best friend to our pup! Mila is good-hearted, comes prepared and very responsible. She takes the time to adventure with our dog as well as love her for us while we were away! Our dog loves her as well. She’s a gem and is a great sitter. Hope you take the time to hire her!”
20. Rita P.
About: I am a reiki master and artist available to care for your furry companion. Whether it’s just for some walks, babysitting or lengthy stays. I’m a loving and compassionate pet sitter. In ancient Egypt the word pet is defined as gifts from the gods to be cared for until they returned to the divine realm from which they had come. I will care for your pet as if it were mine. I have a 18 pound rat terrier named Poké who is friendly and fun. He’s got me wrapped around his little paw. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have experience with all animals. I work from home and take one client at a time for overnight stays. It’ll be pack style care. I take my dog everywhere with me. They love it and so do I. The environment is clean and I do not use any harsh chemicals. Only all natural organic homemade products. I have a fenced in back yard for play that they have access to all the time and a great dog friendly neighborhood with hills for nice walks. I also have taken the time to know what neighbors use pesticides and weed killers around their properties and I avoid them. I clean them up every night before bedtime with paw washings, wipes and toothbrushes if necessary. The Beach and hikes are always fun too if ok with you. I send photos and videos throughout their stay. As an artist, I love pet photography. So I can capture some great moments for you to smile.
