“The world's best pet caretaker. Genuinely cares about animals and she's very communicative. It's a mistake to not have Amanda take care of your furry friends.”
“Anna was great! I was scared to leave my little boy but Anna made everything so much easier. She worked with me with what was best for my puppy. Arlo was very happy and well taken-care of. 100% recommend Anna😊”
“Thank you so much Jen! Our cats were so well cared for as always- we love the photos and the updates. They love their hot wheels so much!!! We so appreciate your flexibility when we had an issue with our smart lock. Thank you for being a wonderful cat sitter!”
“Super thankful to have found and booked Gwynne! This was the first time I've left my 2 cats with anyone outside of friends or family, and trust them with Gwynne again in a heart beat! She was able to get my more shy/timid boy to trust her, and kept me updated with pictures and notes throughout the entire stay! Will 100% be booking again in ghe future!”
“Great communication, feedback, and very helpful with murphy. I know she was in good hands the whole week.”
“Kimberly was great with our two cats! She fed, changed litter box, and played with them. Got some really cute photos as well. Will rebook soon, thanks!”
“Ashley was so great with our cat, Dizzy. Dizzy was clearly well taken care of, and was excited when Ashley came to visit her. I really appreciated all of the pictures she sent, showing us what Dizzy was up to. I felt at ease in our travels knowing that Dizzy had such good company. We will definitely be booking Ashley again!”
“Jill was amazing! She was very thorough with ensuring she covered all of Izzy’s routine while she was here. She communicated with me the whole time and gave me updates. I also felt very comfortable having her stay at my home. We will definitely be using Jill again to care for our kitty!!”
About: My whole life, I have had animals in my home, from rabbits, to fish, to dogs and cats. I have also worked at a veterinarians office as well as a local dog kennel. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own. I am happy to drop in and visit on the weekends. Depending on the service, I am also happy to help throughout the week, after my workday is finished. In my own home, I clean litter boxes often as well as snuggle and love on my babies constantly. I walk my dog using a leash, and we also have a fenced in yard, because safety is the most important thing.
“Kristy did a good job taking care of my cats. I love her detailed report cards and the pictures she shares. I feel that my cats are safe and well looked after with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats over the past few years. I’m very good at following care instructions. I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have cerebral palsy so Im home the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to genuinely care for your pet. This schedule allows me to be attentive to all your pets needs. I ensure your pet feels safe and loved by providing a clean, secure environment. I follow all care instructions, maintain a pet-friendly space, and offer constant supervision.
“I was really worried about leaving my 2 cats with anyone. I had never been apart from them before. But Kennedy made me feel really at ease with everything. Both Plush & Narni were very well taken care of. Kennedy sent me photos everyday, to show how happy my fur babies were. I would defintely hire Kennedy to take care of my babies again. Thank you so much Kennedy.”
About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I work for a pet care company that does grooming and daycare and boarding, where I am called in as needed. My schedule is immensely flexible and I have a lot of time on my hands to love your pets and give them my undivided attention! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.
“She was able to help me last minute, and was able to give my kitty all her medicines while I was away. Cats get stressed easy, but mine did great with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s and neighbors dogs and cat for around 4-5 years. From simple dog walking to dog and cat sitting as well as overnight stays. I absolutely love all kinds of animals and could guarantee that your baby will be in great hands! I’m currently in school studying to be an occupation therapist. I also work at a brewery during the week, but as long as owners are okay with me coming after 9 some night, would be willing to do overnight stays Sunday through Thursday every week. I have plenty of breaks to between classes to take animals out for potty breaks or walks. I give my dog the absolute world. I always make sure she has the best food and goes for walks frequently. My care for my own pet would not differ from my car for someone else’s pet. I’m sure all of the owners feel as though their animals are their babies and I do too. I wouldn’t want someone to not care for my pet the way they would for theirs, therefore I wouldn’t do that to someone else. I will make sure the animals are adequately fed, walked, and taken care for whichever service I’m requested for.

“Iviah did everything I needed. She kept my pets safe, well maintained and happy. Would love to have her again.”

About: I highly think my home is an ideal place to dogsit anyone's pet, I live in a very quiet and calm neighborhood and right outside of my complex we have a huge space of grass field for dogs to run and walk for a while and enjoy water view scenery. My husband and I are real animal lovers and we would love to have your pet over. My apartment is very spacious and I’m comfortable with picking up messes in case an accident happens inside. Pet care fits in my weekend schedule starting from Friday’s until Sunday’s. Friday’s after 6pm, and Saturday and Sundays at any time until time for pick up or drop off. My husband has availability from Wednesday through Saturdays at anytime. I care for pets in my home by keeping them active, giving them time for naps. Scheduled feedings, if pet is on medication I can take care of that as well.
