About: I have been a dog lover for all my life and realize they require lots of love and attention each day. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own so you never have to worry while you're away. If your dog is more energetic and prefers running instead of walks, then I will certainly do that. Or, if your dog needs to go at a slower pace, I can do that too. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and can administer pills and/or oral supplements. My availability is very flexible and I will try to make time even if it is short notice. I am very responsible so you can definitely count on me to keep your furry friend happy and safe when you're unable to be there with them. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to send a message or give me a call. Thank you!

Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.

Eva is an excellent dog sitter! She provided me with detailed reports and a lot of pictures while I was away on vacation. She took good care of my 2 fur babies and also took care of my plants. I appreciate the detailed report and could tell that she cared for Mikey and Pixie too. I am so glad I chose her to take care of them and I highly recommend her!

She was also very flexible and understanding with some last-minute adjustments we had to our care instructions and travel schedule. Our rabbit really enjoyed her company - we would definitely book with her again!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs. I've been a dog owner for most of my life, having cared for my family dog from ages 6 to 16 and now raising another dog since I was 18. This hands on experience has taught me how to understand dogs' unique personalities, routines, and needs at every stage of life. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated for complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and attention. I work Monday through Saturday until 12:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my afternoons, evenings, and Sundays to pet care. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and quality one-on-one attention. I make caring for pets a priority and ensure they receive the same level of care, affection, and reliability that I give my own dog every day. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

About: My ability to bond with pets. I’ve always appreciated animals and understood their needs. I’m respectful and loving to them, curating a strong friendship of trust! I currently am a student and work part-time at my University! I have extra time on my hands during the rest of the week so being able to make some extra money and hang out with animals is the perfect match! I will be sure to take any necessary safety precautions: leashing when walking on street, closing doors, and blocking off hallways if needed. And if noted that the animal tends to run away or scare easily, I will be sure to be extra responsible.

Elizabeth was so good with our little monster! She spent time to get him used to her since he's a bit feisty. In the end, he let her pet him and give the insulin with almost no issue. She's a really wonderful person and I highly recommend her as a sitter.

Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!

Ellen did an amazing job caring for my two senior cats. She administered meds and one cat that never comes out of hiding for any other pet sitter warmed up to Ellen and quickly learned to trust her. I loved receiving all the updates and loads of pictures twice a day. She even stayed extra time to ensure the shy cat ate all her food. I highly recommend Ellen, she’s a god-send. I will definitely trust her with watching my cats again.

Razan did a great job during her drop-in visit with Raven and Roman. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure both cats were well cared for while I was at work. Raven, who can sometimes be cautious with new people, was comfortable with her, and Roman received plenty of attention and playtime. I appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would happily book Razan again.

Jessica did an amazing job accomplishing each of the tasks we left for her, caring for our three cats. She was highly professional when we first met her and she went above and beyond what we expected while we went on our weekend cruise. Having someone who takes the time to not only complete each of our necessary tasks for her during each session but also having someone take the time to show the cats attention while we are away was very heartwarming!
