About us
Licensed, Bonded, and Insured!
We do Dogs, and a WHOLE lot more!
Why Animal Island?...~Because all pet sitters are not created equal.
Will your pet sitter know what to do in the case of an egg bound Canary? Or what to do when your frog has suddenly developed spots, or your dog's head starts to swell for no apparent reason?...chances are, they may not......But we sure do!...thanks to 25 years of rescue and medical training, there's about no situation that may arise that we can't handle above and beyond any and all of your expectations....
As all animal lovers know, pet sitting is far more intricate a job, than just the ability to place food and water in a bowl, and take a stroll around the block.......A true pet sitter, has the ability to bond with an animal, to make a connection that encourages feelings of safety and well being, particularly in the absence of their loved ones, whether it be Dog, Cat, Bird or Bearded Dragon...
At Animal Island, we are dedicated to providing a happy and loving environment for your extended animal family while you are away. Take comfort in knowing your loved ones are being meticulously cared for, with the knowledge, wisdom, and expertise that only a lifetime of experience and devotion could provide, all in the safety and security of your own home...(picture and video updates to your email are happily accommodated)
30 YEARS WORKING experience with all domestic and exotic animals, mammals to fish, reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and insects, and 25 years experience in rescue, adoption and wildlife rehabilitation.
*DO NOT RISK LIABILITY---"Experience" is not Insurance.....growing up around animals is not an indication a sitter will now what to do in the case of emergency, illness, or even an attack---Hiring an uninsured "Hobbyist" can leave you financially (and emotionally) accountable for any damages or neglect.
*PLEASE protect yourself, your home, and your animal family---be sure to hire a Bonded & Insured professional.
Katie is always passionate when it comes to creatures. She rescued a bearded dragon from a family that no longer wanted to care for him. She brought him back to health and then I became Godzilla's owner. He was very well taken care of by her and has since been enjoying his life with me......-Sheila A.
Katie, with Animal Island, is professional and highly experienced with exotic animals. I have used her for years as a consult and care provider for my birds, chinchilla, cats, and tortoise. She has done everything from stopping in to scoop my kitty litter while I am on vacation, to assisting with complicated pet births, to setting up my habitats, and monitoring overall health, I would highly recommend this business to anyone with animal needs. She is willing to take on any job. You will be pleased with her services, as I have been for years...-Amanda B.
Katie knows more about how to care for a wide variety of animals than anyone I have ever met. Anyone who owns dogs or cats or a variety of other pets--bird, reptiles, fish, and assorted mammals knows how hard it is to get away for a trip or vacation due to the care requirements of their pets. Kenneling isn't an option for pets other than cats and dogs, and they are traumatized by the experience. I think our animals assume we are never coming back. You can safely leave them in their home environment with Katie to come in and care for them. Prices are competitive.Great service!....-Mary C.
I was away for the 4th of July weekend and hired Katie at Animal Island Domestic and Exotic Pet Sitting to come by to check-in on my elderly English Bulldog. I paid for two extended visits (one per day) and two subsequent check-in visits (again, one per day).
Katie is delightful. She really is a lot of fun - great personality - and it's evident how much she cares about animals. She was wonderful with my elderly dog who is slow moving and requires a lot of patience due to lots of medical issues. I had no doubt my dog would be shown lots of love and affection. I know Katie has diverse experience with all kinds of animals, from the common (cats and dogs) to the exotic (turtles, parrots, squirrels, pretty much anything you can imagine). She truly has a heart for animals and it shows. Her prices are reasonable and her professionalism is top-notch. The last thing you want to worry about when you hire someone to watch your precious animal(s) is that they're going to flake on what they say they will do. I trust Katie implicitly and highly recommend her services....-Lauren U.
