“Kendra is the SWEETEST to my furbabies! She has given me so much peace while I’ve been away and has been communicating with me the entire time. I’m beyond grateful to her for her kind disposition and care for my babies. HIGHLY recommend. Look no further!”

“Excellent drop-in visits! Communication was consistent, and I received detailed updates and photos each time. Max was well cared for, given plenty of attention and love. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such reliable and caring hands. I highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

“Shatara did a great job of taking care of my two cats while I was away! She was respectful of my home and everything was left exactly as it was when I returned. I also really appreciated her transparency in communication and how responsive she was in returning texts.”

“Jennifer did a great job caring for my dogs. My English bulldog can be a little stubborn lol but she did an amazing job with him. We’re so appreciative of the visits and updates, it really gave us peace of mind while we were away. I definitely recommend Jennifer and hope to book her when our next trip comes around!”

About: I have been caring for animals personally for the past 14 years. I was a dog mom to Barkley, a 14-year old rescue Yorkie, who crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge in 2024. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies and all ages in between. While I don’t have a backyard with my townhome, there is a ton of green space in my community for walks to provide plenty of sunshine, fresh air and exercise for your pooch. Currently, I am working from home full-time during the week with 1-in office day a week. I take frequent breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide walks and potty breaks. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as they are at home so please feel free to share the needs and routines of your pooch. As a dog mom who has utilized a sitter for the past 12 years I understand the perspective of leaving your fur baby in the hands of someone else. You can expect quality and attentive care and of course all the free tummy rubs. I currently work from home 4 days of the week and can provide potty breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m usually away from the house on average 2 hours a day total for errands or working out. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog so they can have as close to their routine. Let me know if you would prefer for your dog to be crated or kept in a specific area during the day or night.
“Erika was absolutely amazing when she was caring for my dogs. She came and met them before hand, played with them when she dropped in and took great care of them. One of mine was even sick and she went out of her way to clean and take care of him.”

About: About me: I have time & quality care to give to the pet(s) you love while walking or pet/house sitting because I'm an online college student. I have 22 years of dog, cat and other pet care experience to include pet walking, training, transporting, vet visits & pet/house sitting listed in detail below. I'm starting in the job field of Animal Behavior on completion of my college degree. My previous career of 21 years was in oceanography, & I look forward to giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Experience in DOG CARE: In the last 22 years, on the side of my regular job, I have been trusted by family, friends and new clients via word of mouth to pet sit for canines of all sorts to include senior dogs, dogs with cancer, high energy dogs, shy and nervous dogs, a Great Dane, puppies and multi-pet households. Experience in CAT CARE: I've been cat sitting for 21 years for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with swimmer’s syndrome, one cat in a wheelchair, shy cats, active cats, multi-pet households, hairless cats, indoor/outdoor cats, indoor only cats, outdoor only cats & kittens. ADDITIONAL PET CARE: I also have 22 years' pet sitting experience with other pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fresh water fish, turtles, geese and pigs. In my free time, I've rescued, rehabilitated, trained, fostered and been a pet owner to both dogs and cats in Texas, Virginia, California, Hawaii, Spain and the Kingdom of Bahrain. I have also volunteered at animal rescue and no-kill shelters in all of those places as follows: Humane Society, PAWS of Texas, Hawai'i Bird Rescue, Hawai'i Marine Animal Response, Rota Animal Welfare League Spain, and Bahrain SPCA. I am available for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation and moving because I'm a full-time online university student. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you, but I do not have the availability to board animals in my residence at this time. My goal is to keep your pet(s) in their routine with the same worry-free, stress-free care as you have set up for them for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation or moving. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you. I offer pet transportation in my own vehicle as well, but I do not have boarding facilities available at this time.
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was little. I love walking and playing with dogs. I also love to give treats and train little tricks with dogs. I like to take dogs on long walks and have since I was little. I also love playing tug of war and fetch with dogs. I work part time only on the weekend so I have a lot of time during the week to play and walk dogs. I also love to meet new dogs and enjoy to play with dogs. During the week I have a lot of free time and enjoy walking throughout the day. I have a small inside dog that I walk often and I also know how to crate dogs if need be. I also have an inside cat so I know how to deal with both animals. I often dog sit family friends dogs that range from small pugs to big German shepherd mixes and have learned how to work with both. I also know how to give pill medication to dog s safely.
About: I have taken care of many dogs through out my years from small chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I currently own a German Shepherd, Blue Heeler and two Great Pyrenees that I love with all my heart. I have experience with many breeds and also with training dogs. I can potty train them and teach them a few discipline skills like sit and stays and also teach them funny tricks. I have always loved animals and I want to use this opportunity to experience more with animals as a future veterinarian. I believe becoming a dog sitter will help me have more experience with getting to know different dogs. I honestly believe this will be a fun experience to meet new people and their beloved pets.

About: I love all kinds of dogs and their playfull nature!I normally walk for 30 minutes or more on a regular so if your dog needs a nice walk in definitely built for it! I have access to someone that has experience dog grooming so if your dog needs a good wash I can provide that as well. I'm pretty open to request so if you need something all you have to do is ask and we can work something out. If your dog likes attention I have kids that love dogs that will help wear out any high energy dogs and I don't mind going to some open fields and having the open run around till their hearts content. I would love to create some regular customers but if you only want to try me out I'm more then ok with that!
“Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was away! She made sure their kitty litter box was clean each day. She made sure they got fresh water and food each day. She took the time to reassure my cats and to play with them as they became more comfortable. I loved the pictures and texts she provided each day. This was my first time to use a cat sitter and I loved her¹ I absolutely plan on using her again to care of my cats the next time I go on a trip!?”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs in the house since I was young. I feed, walk, give meds, pet, cuddle, play, clean litter, give treats, and love. I should be able to fit a visit or walk in any day. House sitting availability would depend on what is required, we can work out the details. I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pets needs are met with love. I want you and your pet taken care of.
About: I offer specialized, low-stress care that goes beyond basic feeding and walking. Behavioral Expertise: Skilled in reading canine body language to preemptively manage stress and ensure comfort. Specialized Care: Experienced in senior care (medication, mobility support) and puppy foundation training (house-breaking, crate introduction, socialization). Professional Reliability: Consistently provide clear, detailed, and real-time updates (including photos and GPS reports) for total owner peace of mind. I deliver enriching, individualized care rather than just supervision. Would you like me to use this summary to draft a short "About Me" section for an online pet sitting profile? "My part-time status means your furry friend receives focused, extensive care throughout the day. I have plenty of time for extra walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention." My Home (Boarding): Safety: Fully dog-proofed environment with a secure, inspected fenced yard. Controlled, supervised socialization, and a private "den" space for retreat. Trust: Limited guest capacity ensures focused, one-on-one attention. Full transparency and established, swift emergency protocols. I provide consistent, personalized care to ensure both pets and owners feel secure.

“I have a dog and two cats and Julian was attentive to their needs. He spent time with the dog outside to let the cats eat in peace, sent several pics for status updates, and administered daily meds accurately. I would definitely look for him again for next time.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including high-energy dogs, puppies, and senior dogs that need extra patience and attention. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I focus on safety, structure, and making pets feel secure. I’m very reliable, communicative, and I send regular updates and photos so owners always know their pet is doing well. I’m also active, so dogs that need long walks, playtime, or exercise will get plenty of activity. I’m comfortable with basic puppy training like leash walking, crate routines, and reinforcing simple commands. I’m also patient with senior dogs who may move slower or need more gentle care and attention. My goal is always to make pets feel at home, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency, reliability, and time management. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feedings, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s regular daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I make sure pets stay on their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also make time for play, exercise, and updates to owners, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Pet care isn’t just something I fit in—it’s something I intentionally make time for and prioritize. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while following all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and preferred routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure to prevent any safety risks. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and a structured routine. I make sure pets are never left unattended for long periods and that they feel safe and relaxed. I also stay in regular communication with owners by providing updates and photos, so there’s always transparency and peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for at all times.

Kavianna was a life saver for me! She was able to care for my fur baby (Ru!) on extremely short notice and she had the best communication. I instantly knew Ru! was in good hands.
