About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!

Sereniti was amazing taking care of my dog during a 3 night stay, and I could tell she was treated like family. I got updates and pictures that showed Diamond happy, relaxed, and having fun. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time I travel! Thanks again.

About: I have been caring and having a love for animals at all my young life it has taught me everything I need to know on how to handle and show love to cats and dogs! I will love and care for your animals just like I do mine they are my 3rd and 4th furbabies🐶🐱. I occasionally weekend sit for a golden retriever , we go on walks , snuggle and watch movies and play. I do have multiple references as well. I can do weekend sleepovers daily visits and you saying that is needed to keep the family at peace while they are out of town. I have administered vitamins and cbd oil to a few dogs for anxiety, storms etc. Thank you for your time! I do have multiple dog/cat families that I care for. I also have 6 cats at home that I care for. Currently this is what I do for work. I mostly take care of your pets in your home that way your animals are comfortable in their own setting. Especially if you have a dog and have a fenced yard,I find that more helpful.

Melissa was fantastic with my dogs. She made a few visits to make sure they knew her. She genuinely loves animals. It was such a comfort to know that my pups were getting such special care while we were away.

About: Throughout my life, I’ve had various animals, including dogs and cats, who have become like family. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and kittens to peaceful seniors, and I firmly believe that pet ownership is a wonderful privilege. I’ve even taken care of my daughters’ hedgehogs! I am not working outside the home and have plenty of time to care for your pet:) I have 1 dog in the home and 3 cats. I have a big yard and live in a neighborhood not well traveled. Your pet would be safe with me. I have 1 dog and he is very friendly. I could easily crate your dog as well.

About: I have always grown up around and taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had my own pet in one way or another since I was 13. I have been really wanting a dog but due to certain circumstances I cannot get one right now so I’m using my free time to try and help people with dogs and other animals. Right now I am an assistant prekindergarten teacher but we are on our last days of school and I need something to do that will keep me busy and help others. Right now I am available every week day after 1:30pm and all day on weekends; until June 2 which is when summer break will start and then I’ll be available 24/7. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to bring other animals into my home but I do have 2 adult cats that i feed and play with everyday.

Allie was PAW-some! She kept us updated at least twice a day with pictures and texts. In addition, she left the house just as it was when we left. I only mention this because we had an experience with another sitter that did NOT! This was our first time with Allie, but will definitely not be our last. I feel 100% confident recommending her to anyone reading this review.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs and have cared for them my entire life. I had my own Border Collie from kindergarten until this past November, and I regularly help care for my sisters’ dogs—a Border Collie and a Labrador. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from playful pups to older dogs who need patience and extra care. I’m a reliable, attentive sitter who truly loves dogs and is simply looking to spend time doing something I enjoy while giving pets the care they deserve. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule varies week to week with classes and clinicals. I’m always upfront about my availability and plan pet care around my commitments to make sure each dog gets the attention they need. I don’t have any pets living with me right now, which allows me to focus fully on the pets I’m caring for. I’m not able to have pets stay at my apartment, but I’m happy to do pet sitting in your home. I stick closely to your routines and care instructions so your pet feels comfortable and safe in their own space. I make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away.

About: Dogs have always been a favorite of mine. I got my first pet sitting gig in 2019 and haven’t turned back. Now working in vet med my love for animals has only grown. I cannot wait to care for your canine friends. I currently work from home and am not required to be at my computer for any specific time. This gives me the flexibility to drop in for pets multiple times a day if needed and I can also travel with my work just in case your fur baby needs a little more time and attention. I currently have one cat and one dog both very friendly that can keep your animals friendly. I have become very well versed in animal behavior and am able to recognize body signs of a stressed or aggressive pet before disaster strikes. I have a large backyard for your pets to run freely and can also kennel at your request.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and personalities since I was 10. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and give loving attention to their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently home full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and regular walks. I’m always available to follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. I keep a safe and welcoming environment where all pets are supervised and treated with love. I introduce animals slowly and safely to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine exactly—whether that means separate feeding areas, crate time, or solo walks. Since I’m home full-time, I provide constant supervision, secure all doors, and use safe walking routes. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first.
