About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with both dogs and cats. Caring for them has always come naturally to me, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, grooming, administering basic medications, and understanding different pet personalities and needs. I’ve always had a special connection with animals—especially golden retrievers (I have one of my own 😊)—so I understand the importance of patience, exercise, affection, and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’m happy to match their energy and make them feel comfortable and loved. I’m currently working part-time as a mental health counselor and student, so I have some availability during the week and weekends are open. I am free Wednesday mornings/ afternoon (8 am - 3:30 pm) and Friday (all day). I am flexible depending on what your pets may need and happy to adapt. I provide a safe environment and am happy to send updates, pictures, leave notes, during visits or walks to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve been caring for my own cat for over 10 years and have also pet sat for my neighbors’ pets, including a blind cat and a senior cat. These experiences have taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to different needs and personalities. I’m a true animal lover and enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, or providing calm companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow specific routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. I will be here all of Summer 2026! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I have a dog and a cat! I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and care. I have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays while making sure each pet gets the time and consistency they need. I treat every pet like my own. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine so pets feel comfortable and secure, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also make sure everything stays clean and organized. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I’m very attentive to behavior and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also provide regular updates and photos.
About: I grew up in a home with many dogs & cats. At one point we had 3 dogs, 2 cats, 7 Guinea pigs, 3 rabbits & a 150 gallon fish tank full of koi fish. As an adult I have also had a house full of pets. Presently, we have 2 dogs, 1 cat & 1 Axolotl. My pets tend to live long healthy lives, my last 2 cats passed at the ages of 22 & 19 years of age. I am a retired nurse who would enjoy filling my time with fur-friends. I am presently retired & free most days of the week. I love animals and have 2 dogs of my own. I love caring for & playing with animals. I walk my 2 dogs daily on their tandem leash. However I also have a large fenced in yard that they meander about at their Leisure. I will care for your animals as if they were my own & provide them with the care they need.

About: I’ve taken care of and loved my special needs pup for about 9 years, as well as lots of family and friends’ pets as well! I work part time and am a remote student, so my schedule is flexible and looking after pets is my favorite part of the day! I am committed to working with your pet’s schedule and ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness. I understand how unique each pet’s personality and living environment is, and do my best to stay true to that.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13, learning how to care for them. Feeding, playing, caring, and making sure they get their medicine. I fell in love with dogs ever since I had one at home and learned to care for them like family. I can currently work a very flexible schedule and cater to various kinds of pet-sitting needs. Whether that's play, walking, or just keeping a watchful eye on them, I can adapt to various hours. While I cannot offer overnight/care at my personal residence, I am extremely capable of going to the client's home and caring for their pet on site as needed for however long that may be.
