OK, this is mind blowing I picked Sandra because of one of her reviews saying that they’re shy Cat always hides from everybody but Sandra . I was pretty sure that she couldn’t do that with one of my cats. Even my parents visiting so many times has never seen are shy cat until Sandra came over on her second visit!! Amazing! Any pet owner would be lucky to book her.

Holly was very kind and thorough when we met and when she stopped by to feed and spend time with my cat when I was away. She is communicative and sent pictures every visit. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell my cat was comfortable with her as well. I would strongly recommend her to others to provide loving pet sitting. I’m grateful I found her to take care of my baby. Thank you holly, you rock!

Roxy was wonderful! I was especially impressed that she was able to catch Gidget in order to give her medicine. Gidget hides from most pet sitters because she doesn’t like her meds but Roxy was able to gain her trust and get the task done! Very pleased with Roxy and how she related to my cats.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I also have a Yorkie of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve dog sat for friends with both big and small dogs, as well as cats, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially on long walks where dogs get to explore, exercise, and have fun. I currently attend community college four mornings a week, which means I’m free most of the day for pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through walks and outdoor time, and I give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement. For cats, I provide calm care, feeding, litter maintenance, and gentle interaction at their comfort level. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: Hello! I’ve been a dog Mommy for over 7 years. I’ve lived with 4 dogs at one time in a very small space and they were all impressively disciplined. I absolutely adore dogs and have become a professional cuddler. I live for that big smile they get after a nice belly rub! I’ve boarded dogs in my home many times; from Shiba Inus to Huskies. I am an energetic, assertive, patient dog lover and am ecstatic to meet your fur baby! I’m very flexible. I’m available as early and as late as needed. I’m willing to accommodate you as best as I can to find something suitable within our schedules. I have no timeframe restrictions. I always greet your dog and allow them to feel comfortable before engaging in petting. I am comfortable with crating if needed. I want your dog to feel safe around me and in my presence, so lots of love and affection may be necessary.

Alexia did an amazing job with my senior cat for housesitting. My cat needs medications. She was also very respectful to the house and cleaned, and picked up mail on her own. She also spent quality time with my pet. Would book again. Thanks!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals including dogs, cats, horses, and chickens which taught me how to care for every animal with patience and love from an early age. I am calm, dependable, and connect naturally with pets, even the more shy ones. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies as well as senior pets, including giving medications and following special routines which I do for my own senior dogs. I always treat every animal like family and make sure they feel cared for, happy, and safe while you are away. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, and I love spending time playing with, walking, and caring for pets. I am a recent college graduate currently searching for work which means I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. I can provide care morning, afternoons, and evenings, and will happily adjust to your pet's needs and routine. I care for pets in their own home with much love and attention, following all instructions and routines closely in order to keep them at ease in the surroundings they know best. I prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort while also treating your space and belongings with respect. Having cared for animals my whole life, I make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you are away so that they feel at ease.
