“Lisa took such great care of my shy cat while we were away, and her daily updates helped calm my anxiety of leaving my cat. She followed my instructions carefully and left the house in the same condition we left it. Plus, she watered the plants! I will be using her again!”
“Mary Rose did a great job feeding and watering my cat, Lily! She administered meds each day as well. She communicated effectively and sent pictures during each visit. In addition, she washed the dirty plates from the prior visits and left everything neat and clean. I would highly recommend Mary Rose, and I’ll book with her again!”
“Jen is our go to sitter for Nico and she always does a great job communicating and sending photos/videos! We love that she cleans his face, plays with him, and keeps all his food and litter areas clean!”
“Chris was a lifesaver! I needed a cat sitter last minute and he promptly responded, went to see my cat, fed her, played with her, and sent me pictures. Thank you Chris!”
“Olivia was great! I could tell the kitties were enjoying her company, and she always gave us thorough updates on the house and the cats. Would definitely recommend and re-book!”
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
“Kaprice has been wonderful! We got stuck in Florida due to flight cancellations for an extra 4 days. She was so accommodating in helping us out. Really made the sudden challenges of finding a place to stay, transportation easier knowing we didn’t have to worry about the our fur babies. Can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of our babies!”
“This was my second time booking with Jessica, and once again she did a great job! My cats were well cared for, and I appreciated the updates while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
“Jess was available with only a few days notice and was very prompt with all responses while scheduling. While last minute isn’t how I like to roll, our holiday plans changed unexpectedly. She did a great job with my instructions caring for our senior cat and left everything in perfect order. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”
“So grateful for Leah’s care for my cat! She’s reliable & her love for animals comes through. My cat can be a bit of a grump and he clearly softened up to her :)”
“Spencer exhibits exceptional kindness and compassion. From their initial meeting, Atlas has held a deep admiration for Spencer. He thoughtfully provided treats to enhance her experience and demonstrates remarkable gentleness and care in his interactions. Furthermore, Spencer consistently shares photographs and maintains communication both during and after each visit. I highly encourage potential clients to consider his services, as he is truly outstanding in his role.”
About: I’ve had several large breed dogs since I was a child. I am comfortable handling dogs that pull and are like little tanks. My rottie used to stop and sniff everything, and he set our pace on walks. I’m an adjunct English professor, so I can also help your pets with their college admission essays.I am open all summer, but will be teaching in the evenings this fall. I can’t currently care for your pets in my apartment, because my cats said no, but I will be respectful and careful in your home.
“We had confidence in Heather looking after our cats from the moment we met her at the meet and greet. She did an amazing job looking after the cats sending us updates and keeping us informed on how they were doing. We definitely will be using her again when we go away.”
About: Very patient with pets. I’ve cared for different types of dogs and sizes since 9 years old including some puppy training, cleaning up after them, feeding them and even washing the pet if needed also I’m pretty timely and your pet will have enough backyard space to play around or play indoors. I’ll be working part time and the days i will be available for now are Sundays after 3 pm then Wednesdays and Thursday’s at anytime. I have a dog gate inside my house if needed as well no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.
“We are so glad we found Amber! When we met her, it was obvious the love she has for animals. Amber took care of our two kitties while we were away, one of which is very needy. We had Amber come when our grown kids were unavailable to be there. Our cats seemed happy, the house/litter box was spotless and she even took out our garbage! Above and beyond! She bought them toys, took pictures and videos!. We would definitely recommend her and hope she will be available the next time we travel! Thank you Amber!”
About: I use to have the sweetest dog since I was 7 but she died a few years ago of old age. I have also looked after and walked dogs of family friends in the past. With this I know plenty about caring for a dog. I am a student currently home for the summer so I have all the time in the world and would love to spend it taking care of one of your precious pets. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I will make sure they get the top treatment and will stay educated on what the needs of your bet no matter the species it may be.
