About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I’ve raised my own dog and cat from puppyhood and kittenhood into healthy, happy adults, and I’ve also cared for the pets of friends, neighbors, and family over the years—ranging from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra support. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, special diets, or just lots of love and playtime, I tailor my care to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Ready to spoil your pets with love, attention, and treats (if allowed)! Pet care is woven into my daily routine. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day—not just during scheduled visits. Whether it’s my own dog and cat or pets I’m caring for, I build my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and snuggles. Being home also means I can keep a close eye on pets, quickly respond to their needs, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved all day long. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s a lifestyle I truly enjoy. In my home, pets have plenty of space to roam, relax, and feel right at home. I have a calm, pet-friendly environment with one gentle dog and one laid-back cat who both get along well with others. While my yard is unfenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and walks are part of the daily routine. I make sure visiting pets get the same love, structure, and attention as my own—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet spot to nap.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from high energy pups to calm senior companions. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by walking dogs, providing overnight care, administering medications, and reinforcing basic commands when needed. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need extra exercise, mental stimulation, or just a cozy lap and calm presence. Safety, consistency, and love are my top priorities with every dog I care for. I work from home full-time, which means I have great availability during the day to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily accommodate midday check-ins, evening visits, or extended stays depending on your needs. For safety, I do not host pets in my home, as I have two cats. However, I provide trusted in-home care at your place, ensuring your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow routines carefully and can administer medications, manage crates, or give solo attention if needed.

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, feeding and playing with cats, feeding and playing with dogs, and feeding and playing with rabbits! I am a full-time teacher, so I have availability in the summer, weekends, and on school breaks. I can do drop in visits and/or walks! When I am going in to other’s homes, I am respectful of their space. I will make sure it is as clean as it was when I arrived.

About: I have had dogs for 20 years and will treat your dogs like my own. Will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.

About: Ive been a dog owner for more than 10 years and love dogs. I love taking care of dogs too since they bring me so much happiness. I take great care of them and determined to take care and give pets attention It fits well since i am at home all day and fits with me in general since i love dogs and have had them for most of my life.

“Sarah has been a life saver. She's super punctual, and communication is fast and easy. Most importantly I think Maxwell has really been enjoying his time with her, and I think he's even picked up some good habits. Thank You Sarah!”


About: I’ve grown up with animals around me my whole life, whether they be birds, fish, dogs - both small and large- cats, and guinea pigs! I have a love for animals unlike any other and value the importance of providing a clean, safe, and loving environment whether at home or on a walk. Moreover, I’ve lived with senior dogs and cats and am especially mindful of their mobility and assist in the best way I’m able to. I’m happy to do check in visits and dog walking on weekday evenings, after 5pm. I am also free on weekends, whether it be for pet sitting, pet walking, or check ins. I care for pets primarily through the clients home as my own apartment is far too small to house a cat/dog. Since I’ll be in clients home, my priority is not only caring for the pet whether it be following feeding schedules/walking schedules/ etc but also to keep the space I’m in just as clean as when I found it.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have two wonderful dogs of my own. I’ve cared for many pets within my family and circle of friends, and I genuinely love providing patient, attentive care. While I run my own Salon Suite full time, I make room during slower months to care for animals because it’s something I’m truly passionate about. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my priority. I’m a full-time hairdresser, but during the summer months, my schedule slows down as many clients travel. This gives me more availability to work part-time as a sitter. I’ve primarily cared for pets belonging to close friends and family, but I’m now excited to offer my services to others who need a trustworthy and caring sitter. With my flexible summer schedule and love for animals, I’m ready to provide reliable, attentive care to new furry friends. Ensuring the safety, comfort, and trust of your pets is my top priority. I personalize each experience based on your specific needs and requests. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am most comfortable providing care in your home, as I currently have two dogs of my own. This allows me to give your pets my full attention in a familiar and stress-free environment. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are always at the center of my care.

Yvonne M.Star Sitter
“Yvonne is one of the best pet sitter’s out there, and I would highly recommend her services! I have a senior cat and Yvonne made sure she was fed on time, medicines were given properly, and very well loved. I even got photo updates during her visits!

“Lauren was wonderful! She went above and beyond making sure her own pup and Gerti got along, and her house is large so they could be separated if they needed some time apart.
