About: My name is Erica and I am an enthusiastic and dedicated caretaker for your pets and plants! I have been a babysitter since I was 14 years old, and have extended my services to petsitting in the last year. I have experience in taking care of small to medium sized dogs, young and old, for family and friends as needed in the past and want to extend my dog sitting care to my community. I am happy to housesit as well as walk, feed, and care for your pets, and most importantly, foster a safe and happy environment for them. I can't wait to meet your beloved companions and befriend them too. I am available for evening petsitting or walks after 5pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, overnights on weekends only. I can accommodate for your schedule if needed. I have reliable transportation to your home and will be respectful of your living space and your pet's routine. I am happy to give your dog a walk, take them out for breaks, feed, and/or entertain them as needed.

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

About: I had my beloved Jack Russell, Milo, for 12 years and loved every second of having him around. I currently live with my brother’s girlfriend’s dog, the friendliest Australian Shepherd named Lani, and I love her as if she were my own. I promise to love your pets as if they were my own too and take them on any walk, feed them any meal, and go above and beyond to care for them in any ways necessary. I am currently unemployed, so I am extremely flexible on days and timing. Very open to consistent, scheduled walks as I’m looking for more work. In a client’s home, I’ll follow any instructions or established routines to minimize stress for their pets. It’s so important to me that your pet feels comfortable while I provide attentive care, regular feeding, and plenty of companionship. Whether it's playtime, walks, or snuggles, I adapt to each pet's individual needs to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats—my pups Gary, Kiki, and Koko, and my cat Gracie. Each of them has their own personality, so I’m used to adjusting my care to fit different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. From long walks and playtime to quiet cuddle sessions and independent cat care, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, walks, and giving pets the attention they need—whether they’re social or a little more reserved. Your pet will be treated like family with me, safe, happy, and in good hands every time.

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!

About: I have personal experience with dogs/cats for 20 yrs., I’m also the neighbor that takes care of the family pet while on vacation or if their human is running late and they need a quick potty break/walk. I’m currently working part-time with no Wednesdays or weekends. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet, especially on your weekend getaways. I have a completely fenced in large backward and a baby gate to the kitchen in my home. Clients home should be safe for their pets and I will follow instruction on how the client wants me to care and play with their pet.

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.

Razan is a very conscientious cat sitter and a lovely person. She went above and beyond looking after my two Maine Coon cats, one of which needed medication administered twice daily. When they were fussy with their food, she even cooked them fresh chicken! Razan was gentle and kind with them and I could see how relaxed they were around her from the photo updates. Very reassuring. When a cancelled flight delayed our return by two days, Razan stayed on to care for my cats, which was a huge relief and I am so grateful to her. I will definitely be booking Razan again :)
