Pet Sitting West Calhoun

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my lifelong love and experience with animals—I grew up with pets of my own and truly understand the care and attention they need. As a dog lover at heart, I treat every pet like family. My passion for the outdoors means your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air and long, enriching walks. I also have a special place in my heart for relaxed, elderly pets and am more than happy to provide the gentle care, patience, and extra snuggles they deserve. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I am currently a Physician Assistant student looking for a little extra cash before starting my full time job. I have a wide array of availability and will work with your schedule. I will foster a safe environment for your loved ones, making sure that all their needs are met! I am trustworthy and will put you and your animals best interest at heart.

“Nick is great with our cat and our tank of 3 goldfish. They are always relaxed and happy when we get back. Nick keeps us updated every day as to how they are doing and sends us pics. Thank you Nick!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

About: I used to own two Cavaliers, and have taken care of numerous dogs on behalf of friends/family, including dog sitting for my sister's high anxiety rescue dog. I find that a calm, patient demeanor can win over even the most stranger-wary dog. I am in the process of changing careers, so am taking classes, which meet mostly online. Aside from the few hours a week when I volunteer to work with special-needs children in therapeutic horseback riding, my schedule is very flexible, including nights/weekends. Mornings? Evenings? Last minute? No problem. I think of pets as family, and will treat your pet like my family. (Don't worry, that's a good thing!) As a horseback rider, I find the skills of working with our animal friends transfer easily. Regardless of species, they enjoy human attention/affection, engagement and are often much smarter than we give them credit for.

“Rob is absolutely FANTASTIC and we would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a quality and dependable dog sitter. He is an awesome communicator and he genuinely cares -- he takes thorough notes, he stays in tune with each pup's individual needs, he is reliable, punctual and overall just wonderful at his job. We HIGHLY recommend Rob!”

“Our dog LOVES Sydney. She’s the best. Was very responsible with our golden doodle Olive. Would 100% rebook with her. Super reliable and responsive too!”

“Andy has watched our cats a few times - they're always happy when we get home, and we can tell they are happy to see Andy when she comes to take care of them. We have some very specific health and food needs and she does a great job managing this while we are away, which means a ton to us. Thank you Andy!”

“Carla is simply the best! We had a stress free weekend away because she took excellent care of our fur baby, even in short notice. Timely updates and plenty of pictures to share! Thank you!!”

Dawn S.

“Andrew came through with almost no notice and showed up promptly—total lifesaver. He was kind, calm, and instantly won over Princess Leia 🐾 (she says he’s welcome back anytime to play). Highly recommend!”

David B.

“Highly recommend! It was obvious from the fabulous photos that Gabriella made my cat feel extremely comfortable and cared for. Her in-depth reports gave me immense peace of mind while I was out of town. Thank you so much!”

Alex C.

“I have booked with Darwin before and he is great every time! He is consistent, professional and makes sure to communicate if anything out of the ordinary happens. Booking with him makes my stress go away and be able to go away without any worries”

Carter S.

“The dogs are always so happy to see Brooke when she checks in! She keeps up updated on how they did and we come home to happy and relaxed pets.”

Sara N.

“John was fantastic with Carl! He spent a lot of extra time with Carl, who just likes to sit outside. John sent photos and plenty of updates. We're looking forward to using John again!”

About: I have loved and owned dogs (and other pets) all my life. I am an empty-nester now and an avid walker with no pets at home currently. We have a wonderful fenced in yard and live close to the Greenway and Grand Round paths where I love to walk. My love for dogs and walking seem to be a great intersection for this service. I hate to think of dogs at home alone while owners are at work and would love to help out by keeping them company and giving them exercise! I am an enthusiastic and nurturing "dog mom"!

“My cat can be a bit of a handful and Maddy handled her with kindness and professionalism. Overall great care for my cat and great communication with me. Would definitely rebook!”

Katie R.

“Lauren did a great job, and I would highly recommend!”

Michael G.

“Caroline is as so wonderful with our pup! She even stopped by last minute to do a little meet and greet before our visit to get familiar! Would definitely book with Caroline again”

About: Experience with dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting. I've provided pet/house care for families who have taken extended vacations (2-5 weeks). Love to be active and play with animals! I'm responsible and consistent and willing to help with extra tasks in your home (plant care, light cleaning, taking out trash, etc.). While I can't have your pet in my home, I am able and willing to stay overnight, drop-in for extended visits/walks, and/or do what your pet needs to be comfortable. I have years of experience nannying in people’s homes and I’m currently working as a speech therapist in school and hospital settings. I hope you’ll give me a chance to take care of your pet(s)! My work schedule varies, but I generally work 3-4 weekdays from around 8-4pm. I’m able to stop by before work, after work, weekends, and of course stay over if that works best! I always try to incorporate exercise and/play into the pet’s day if possible. I try to make sure animals feel safe and cared for, giving space if they need.

“Kiirsten is reliable and great about sending pictures!”
