About: Growing up in a home full of animals and with my parents being veterinarians, I truly believe that our pets are not just pets, they are family. You can rest assured that with my experience caring for my own family's pets, shadowing at my parents' vet practice on my pre-vet path, and with my master's degree in animal behavior your four-legged family will be safe and comfortable under my care. I am currently in between work after finishing graduate school, so my schedule is very flexible to give your pets the care and attention they need. It’s easy to worry about our pets when they’re out of our sight. Under my care, you can rest easy knowing that with my knowledge of animal health and behavior from my education and shadowing experience at a veterinary practice, I keep a keen eye out for any health or behavioral issues which may be affecting the comfort of your pets.
“Brianna was a life saver! We were able to book and meet last minute for a weekend house sitting. I was definitely impressed by her versatility and expertise in caring for pets of all kinds. She provided great care for my dog with anxiety and two kittens! Brianna ensured they were well-fed, entertained, and snuggled. I highly recommend Brianna’s services to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy pet care!”
“Ligia was amazing!! I was a little nervous how my dog would act around someone new watching her, but Ligia took great care of her!! I would definitely recommend Ligia to anyone and I will definitely be using her again.”
“This is the second time I've used Hannah for a full week House and Dog sit, and would gladly call on her again. This trip even had a slight issue: (groomer cut dog right before our trip) and Hannah had to deal with my Winn licking the wound, and a small bloody cut. Hannah communicated the issue well and patched him up fine. She also leaves the house exactly as she enters it, leaving it as clean, if not cleaner, than it was left to her. I highly recommend for any service. I've also had one of my neighbors call on her and they were just as happy.”
About: Pet sitting has always been a joyous hobby of mine, and I would love to take care of your animal. I have had pets my whole life, and have pet sat for many years. I’m primarily a student, and also work as a research assistant with one of my professors. My schedule is relatively open this semester though, and I should be able to adequately take care of any of your pets with ample attention given. I have a fenced in backyard, and a cat tower for any pets that come and stay in our home. I’m also happy to take any animals on walks.
“Katherine was amazing!! She was great with sending updates and keeping us in the loop with our babies! Can not recommend enough!! Thank you Katherine!! ☺️”
“Jenn was amazing to have as a petsitter. She stayed in our home for 5 days while we were gone for a wedding, and we couldn't be happier with her care. She checked in daily, sent us pictures, and you could tell she really loved on our pets. The house was in great condition when we got back and we would absolutely book her for another stay. Having complete peace of mind for our pets and home while we were gone was priceless and really helped us enjoy our vacation to the fullest. Thanks again Jenn, you're the best!!!”
“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”
About: Hi there! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience working at Pet Paradise and Dogtopia, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. On top of that, I’ve been a lifelong pet owner—dogs, cats, hamsters, and even snakes! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, your pets will always feel safe and loved with me. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I start and end my days with my own two cats, Anais and Cleo, so I’m already in the rhythm of feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or sitting, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I take extra care with things like locking up, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they’re comfortable in their own environment. You can trust that your home and pets will be safe and well cared for.
