Leigha is the best!! We don’t trust many people with our pups and we trust her with everything! She comes to our home to watch our 2 dogs and they adore her! I would give her 10 stars if I could! ❤️

About: I’ve fostered for the SPCA. I’ve sat for countless friends, family and colleagues. I have an undeniable connection with nearly all animals that I encounter. I’m currently a stay at home mom for my 11 year old son. Also, having 2 adult daughters, 1 of which is currently in college and the other just got married last year and is starting a family of her own. I have a VERY large fully fenced in backyard that is ideal for dogs of all ages and breeds. I allow them full access to roam freely inside or outside by use of the doggie door. If I have dogs from different families I have 3 separate fully furnished and doggie friendly “guest rooms” that allow for space and privacy if needed.

About: We are two roommates that specialize in different areas of pet care, between the both of us we're sure to have what you need! :) Owner one: I've had Cats for my entire life. Littlest newborns, reckless Kittens, lethargic but sweet seniors, special needs Kitties, and even cats that don't react well to others. I've been around Cats since before I can remember, and I've cared for up to 8 at a time. Among my most inclusive, I've cared for diabetic cats, seniors (10-20 year olds), Cats with pica, and hypothermic Kittens. I've administered medicine by mouth and as an injection. No matter the situation, I believe that the most important thing is communication and quality care. Your fur baby will be taken care of as if they were our own when they're here. As a Cat owner myself I understand that Cats are curious creatures, which is why our house is completely Cat safe. Our house has lots of windows, which are perfect for bird watching! We also include a catio for the lovely little ones to experience time outside in a safe and controlled manner. Owner two: I've had Dogs my entire life from Dog sizes of Chihuahuas to Great Danes and all inbetween. I've had short and long haired Dogs so daily Grooming is available for Double Coated dogs. I have experience with New Born Puppies to 18+ Elderly Dogs. We have a closed in Yard and a room open for your Dog to sleep comfortably inside at night. I've trained each Dogs I've owned and walk my own daily. I have experience with trouble making dogs and snappy ones. No attitude is to much for me. Dogs that need a special diet are all no problem we can separate and make fresh foods if requested. I know how to give medication threw mouth or syringe. Farm Animal Care. I've lived on a farm my entire life and do well with Chickens, Rabbits, Goats, Ducks, Turkeys, and Pigs. Reptile Care. I've had experience with multiple retiles I've taken care of Snakes and own several lizards who eat Live Food or need fresh produce. Owner one: I wake up every morning at around 7am, and do a bit of cleaning/remote work. Around 8:45 I start making the cats breakfast. Their breakfast is half a can of tiki cat, made by nacho chicken broth, Instinct digestive blend food topper, salmon oil, a freeze dried fish treat, and extra water for hydration. They eat in bowls that prevent whisker fatigue. Then we supervise play time as they run around the house. at around 12:30 they have a lunch of nutrish dry food with chicken broth for added hydration. Then they go out to the catio for some outside enrichment, before coming back in before it gets too hot. They have a soupy snack (Broth, water, and salmon oil) before running around the house some more. At around 6pm they have dinner, which is a repeat of breakfast with more dry food. Then we refill their bowls with dry food to make sure they eat enough. Then, after running around until 10pm it's finally time to send them to bed. We do have an alternate schedule for the days that we're taking care of other animals, so your little ones would be able to do the same things! All of our time is spent with our animals, they would never be unsupervised. Our cats would not be interacting with your pets unless otherwise specified. 🥰 Owner two: For our dog I wake up around 7AM each morning to take them out to use the bathroom. Around 8AM I come back and feed them a mix of dry food and fresh food. After there meal they get another bathroom break. They stay inside most the day unless they ask to go out. If not I will take them outside at 12PM, 3PM, 6PM. After 6PM ill make there dinner of the same mix of food. There usual walk times are in the mornings and sunset. Those times can vary to your pet. Our dog won't be interacting with your pet unless otherwise specified. Owner one: So in our home your pets care would be the same as our pets care, just at seperate times. We would supervise them at all times, but they would be able to run around with free roam of the house and catio. Everything in our house is cat proof, and we have lots of windows (that don't open) that our cats love to watch out of. They would always be busy, and if they weren't, they would have plenty of comfortable sleeping places. As for drop ins or other services in your home, we would have to be flexible and adjust based on your cats schedule. We can stick to a schedule, or just hang out and play/find something to keep them occupied. Depending on the pet and situation, obviously our care protocols are going to be different, we'll learn what makes your cat comfortable and stick to it. ❤️ Owner two: In our home your dog will be treated as our own they'll get their own room and attention we will play with them spend time with them walk and feed all depending on the individual pet. In our home the dog will have a yard to freely run around in (supervised of course) For dog walking we'd use the leash and collar you provide. If walking with a harness I prefer a second leash on the dogs collar incase of an emergency. In your home I'll adjust to your schedule we are very flexible and are available for check ins at any time of the day through morning, evening and night.

About: Have had experience with taking care of friends and neighbors dogs since I was a teen. Had my own pup as well who taught me so much when it came to patience, love, and trust, since they were a stray when I first adopted them. I have experience administering meds, and cleaning up wounds if and when necessary. Trust that your pup will be and good hands and be cared for as if they are my own. Currently taking some time off from my job and won't be going back for a couple of months so I have all the time in the world right now. I will care for your fur baby as if they are my own and follow any house rules and/or schedule set by the owner. Any request made will be taken into account as well. Rest assured that your pet needs will always be met.

About: Growing up I’ve always had pets, from cats and dogs to birds and porcupines. Taking care of each individuals needs brings me so much joy. Thank you for giving me the chance to know your pet! I have open availability and can check on pets whenever it is needed. I can do at home sits any night or day of the week. I can’t do any sitting in my home due to my own pets but I am more than happy to come by and sit with them at your home! I don’t mind coming by for 5 minutes or a couple of hours depending on your needs. I can deal with big dogs who love to jump as well as little pets too!

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life as I’ve always owned them. They truly are my best friend. I love them and they deserve the best care! I’m currently doing mostly just side gigs which gives me a lot of availability to be free through the week! I plan to do it as much as possible! They are treated just as humans are! Growing up they went on all of our trips with us and were always treated very well! It’s a blast having them!

About: I have always loved pets. I have often pet sat for my friends or family. I owned my first dog at 13. I trained her myself as well as groom her myself. I would consider her my baby. Training my own dog has given me a better understanding of them and a greater respect for them. I recently adopted a new big puppy which has better equipped me for caring for dog's with various personalities since she required much different training than my older little dog. I enjoy getting to know pets with different personalities and loving on them. If you trust me with your pet, I will treat him/her as my own. Pet sitting works great with my schedule because I am a full time teacher so I have all summer to love on your pet while you are away. I am fully able to stay at your house if need be to pet sit. My roommate takes care of my two fur babies while I am away. Also, I am able to bring your pet to my apartment with my two dogs who love other animals. My apartment is next to a big park and has a huge dog park for exercise. I am flexible with the needs of my clients.

About: I've taken care of animals for the past 12 years for clients and friends of mine. Their animals always took to me really well with me being around them so often and showing them love, so they began asking me if I could pet sit for them. I also have a 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits and chickens. I am a stay at home mom that homeschools so my schedule is very flexible. Let me know your preferences and we can work something out. I can administer medication if needed also. I have experience giving insulin shots. I show them love and affection, let them out to go potty and play with them before I put them back up. I follow detailed instructions

About: I've had pets my whole life - I especially love cats and dogs. When I graduated high school I began to pet sit in homes. I love being able to give peace to owners and pet parents while they're away. I enjoy playing with and snuggling with fur babies! You can expect at least one picture a day of your fur baby, quick communication, and rules to be followed to the T. I am currently in-between jobs, which means I am free most days! Unless otherwise discussed, I don't pet sit on Sundays (but I am open to the possibility - some Sundays I volunteer at my church so I am not available for long periods of time then). Due to having my own dog at home, I generally make it a rule to either come to your house for check-ins or to stay at your house so I may better service you and your fur babies without incident. I like to know as many details about your pets as possible. Before agreeing to a job, I like to come and meet the fur babies to make sure we are a good fit together. I can walk or let your animals out to exercise and use the potty, feed and water them, clean up messes and litter boxes, play and snuggle with them, and more. I won't, however, bathe or give medication in most cases - pills put or crushed into food are okay, but injections and such are not.

About: *After your first successful booking with me, I lock in your rates for all future bookings so your rate stays low as my loyal customer, even if I raise my rates later. Regularly care for my own dog (beautiful lab/pit mix) and have had dogs (& other pets) all of my life. I love the bond shared between me and my pets and that experience that I get to pass along to my children, who are helping care for our senior dog. Our pets have always been part of our family, and I will treat your pet & home with the same attention and care that I have always shown to my own. The world needs more love and respect -- certainly among us as humans -- and I believe our pets can teach us that lesson every day if we're willing to see it.

About: My family has a small farm where we raise goats. We have always had animals so i am very comfortable in my abilities to care for your loved family member just as i would my own. I have a pretty open schedule atm. Can work around any schedule needed for the most part. I have a vehicle so I am ok with traveling around the county. Can do late night check-ins if needed for if you work grave yards. So right now I am only offering services at clients house and walking. Yes we have fenced in yards and everything to board but with me having a job now and doing this on the side it seems more sensible since I won't be home alot to give the needed love and care, but will consider options for certain situations if needed. But dog walking, check ins day or night, basic grooming

Isabella is fantastic! She charmed our cats from the first meeting. We have 6, i figured only a few would interact with her. Right off the bat the 2 boys greeted her. She sent photos of the others appearing little by little while we were away for the weekend. We were certain that our scaredy cat would never show her face but...Isabella sent a video where she was petting our scaredy cat! Super impressed! Seriously thankful to have found a trustworthy caretaker for our little ones.
