“Deborah was lovely on an initial visit with my shy cat - she spoke warmly to our Ash, but didn't try to force contact, and let our shy girl wander off. Given Deborah's background and familiarity with shy cats, I feel very comfortable leaving our girl in her hands while we're out of town. I feel confident that Ash will warm up to her as Deborah visits, and feel comfortable that Deborah will be patient and present for our kitty in whatever form she needs.”
“Thank you Haley! My first time with her as we traveled for a bike event today. Great service and quick response to request! Next time in area and need pet sitting will reach out. Stay cool super hot here today”
About: Lifelong dog person, I have cared for dozens of furry friends, mine and others. I currently have a 3 year old Shepherd Mix. Former PETCO employee and rescue volunteer I am currently working part-time and unavailable 2pm to 7pm Monday- Friday. There is some flexibility, so please ask about your specific timing needs. Thanks I will follow your instructions as well as your pet's needs, mood, and personality. I do my best to let your fur baby be comfortable and themselves.

“Sawyer did a great job! She sent pics of the dogs with each visit and even played ball with our younger guy. I am thrilled to have found her and feel confident leaving our pets with her. I highly recommend Sawyer.”
“Wonderful, kind and reliable.”
About: I have cared for numerous cats and dogs in my life. Sometimes up to 7 at a time for one household. I am from a large family with many different pets and routines, allowing me to use intuition and experience to guide my stays. Patience and kindness are a must! I work a full-time job that has flexible hours between 7am to 11pm, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. This field allows me to leave work for up to 1 hour a day in order to let animals out every 4 hours or so if your pet is not comfortable with a full 8-hour day. I like to watch how the owners interact with their animals and use this as a model for how to treat each pet individually. This allows me to use my own judgement but create a familiar environment for your fur baby!
“Shae was so great with my dog! Very punctual and communicative, super glad to have her! Didn’t have to worry at all during my work day.”
“Tim was extremely accommodating, excellent with communication, and made my cat very comfortable. Highly recommend.”
“Laura kept my cat fed and entertained while I was hiking in the mountains, and out of range. I came home to a happy purring cat an didn't get the usual cold shoulder that I get when I've been away. Communication was great and reassuring to pick up in the few spots where I could find a signal.”
“We've used Jillian many times, and she consistently takes excellent care of our cat. She's reliable, attentive, and always takes the time to play with him and give him the attention he needs. It's clear she genuinely cares about him. While we always miss him when we're away, it gives us real peace of mind knowing Jillian is checking in on him every day.”
“She was amazing! She was very communicative. Takes amazing pictures. She even stayed longer than what I booked for which was so kind of her. She’s very compassionate for the animals she takes care of.”

About: I'm so grateful for my clients' fuzzy loves! We have lots of laughs and fun together and snuggles are awesome. I've taken care of a dog paralyzed from the waist down, expressing him for urination and getting him into and out of his hot rod wheels for our walks. I'm able to administer pills for medication and supplements. I work part-time three days per week and I'm available most days, depending on the times and if I'm booked with other clients. I prefer to have at least one pet client, daily, whether it's sitting and/or walking. Right now I go to my clients' homes to sit and/or walk their pets as I'm not able to board. I am fully insured by Pet Sitters Associates.

About: Growing up I raised black lab puppies and now I have raised and trained my own rescue border collie. I have experience caring for special needs pets at my last job giving medications including insulin injections. I’m pretty flexible at this point and we could discuss long or short term schedules. Availability is almost everyday as I’m only working part time and hoping to get out and enjoy the last bit of good weather. My dog is very active and has helped teach other dogs how to hike well off leash and socialize better. She is very friendly and there are very very few animals that she does not get along with.
