10. Hallie P.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my deep connection with animals and my commitment to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. With a background in Animal Science and hands-on experience with a variety of animals, I understand the importance of both physical and emotional well-being for pets. I take the time to get to know each pet, ensuring that their routine is followed, and I offer extra attention to any specific preferences or health requirements they may have. My flexible availability, including nights and weekends, ensures that pets get the care they need, even when their owners are away for extended periods. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates, photos, and updates, which helps build trust and peace of mind. My approach is centered on a high level of reliability, responsibility, and genuine love for animals, which helps create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently fully available during the day, evenings and weekends, making me an ideal choice for busy pet owners or those heading out of town. Whether it’s evening walks, overnight stays, or weekend care, I’m committed to providing reliable and attentive service that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. When caring for clients' pets in their homes, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment that mirrors the care and attention they would receive if their owners were present. I begin by familiarizing myself with the pet's routine, including feeding schedules, playtime preferences, and any special care instructions. I make sure to provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, ensuring that the pets feel relaxed and loved. I also maintain a clean and organized environment, including cleaning up after the pets and ensuring that all safety protocols are followed. Communication with the pet owners is key, so I keep them updated with regular check-ins and photos, offering peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, fostering trust and loyalty through attentive and compassionate care.

“I have known Myla for a number of years. She has shown compassion and care to every dog she has encountered. We have been introduced to dogs in local parks, malls, beaches, streets and other public areas. She always wants to pet the dog and wants to know everything about the dog, from the owners.”


12. Linda T.
“Linda is amazing with animals of all kinds. Her heart most certainly shows it. She's patient, compassionate with the slower / older ones, and good at exercise & play with the younger ones. She's helped with my dog over the years with certain diets & medications. Super thankful for her!!.”


13. Cayleigh T.

About: I have over 20 years of experience with both cats, dogs, goats and chickens. I am a proud supporter of rescue animals of all breeds and backgrounds and love spending time with my animals every day. At this time I can do drop-in visits or daily interaction activities like playtime or walks. I am unable to provide any boarding at my home. I have a hard time leaving my fluffy friends behind so rest assured yours will get loads of love and attention while you are away. I work remotely so I have a flexible schedule to make sure everyone gets the love and attention that they need. A typical interaction with any animal is giving them plenty of attention, tending to their food or bathroom needs and making sure they get in plenty of cuddles, play time and walks (if they're a dog). I understand special dietary needs and understand that sometimes medications need to be given At this time I am unable to provide any boarding at my home. When I am visiting your home and animals I respect your space and their territory. They need to feel comfortable with me interacting and being around them. My goal is to leave your house as you left it so you don't have to stress about any unnecessary messes or surprises.
