“Evelyn treated Stella like her own: was eager to check on it, noticed ailments and resolved them. She communicated on the dot and left no room for any mishaps. I'll be having her take care of Stella again at the earliest time available!”


About: I have taken care of and lived with pets most of my life, starting around age 10. At any given time, I lived with/cared for 2-4 pets, consisting of cats and dogs, both young and senior (including puppies). I am experienced in all kinds of care - from daily check ins (bathroom breaks, feeding, and playing) to overnight care! I love to be around pets and would love to help out with any pet care needs. I am a full-time college student, yet home for the summer and need a summer job. I will be free mostly every day of the summer. I have an online summer class, but that won't take much of my time at all, so I am very flexible. I can care for pets in any way you might need - I am experienced in all sorts of pet care, including walking (short and long), playing with toys, administering medicine, feeding, and litter box cleanup.

“Grace did a wonderful job with my kitties once again. ❤️ She even gives my cat Tinkerbell her pill twice a day with a pill pocket. Bella is definitely falling in love with her. Thanks so much Grace!”


“Emma was super awesome with our little girl. She pulled through last minute and was super flexible. Highly suggest Emma to take care of your pets.”


About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Bathing them, making sure they have a consistent food schedule, and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so my availability would be Sunday through Thursday the full day and night, and every other Friday and Saturday. In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure their properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention.

About: Hi there! My name is Marycarmen, and I'm a dedicated student with a deep love for dogs. As I work towards my career, I’m seeking some extra income, and what better way than combining my passion for animals with a job I truly enjoy? In my free time, I offer reliable, loving pet care services tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I promise your pet will be in great hands. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, and I’m committed to providing the highest level of care so you can feel confident while you’re away. Let me help give your pet the attention and love they deserve! Between my classes and studies, I set aside dedicated time each day to provide personalized care, whether it’s taking dogs for long walks, playing with them, or just being present to offer companionship. I have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely play, run, and explore. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and cozy downtime.

“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”


“Tiffany is a fantastic caretaker. We have had her take care of our cat multiple times now and she is always reliable and communicative. Our cat can be a bit slow to come out of her shell and Tiffany sends us helpful updates when we're away. Thank you!!!”


About: I started caring for dogs when I was 12 years old, where I learned to bathe, feed, and train Golden Retrievers. I continued to implement what I learned with those loving dogs, with my own dog who is now 11 years old and is named Oliver! I treat every dog like my own - with love and care. I am a flexible young woman with time before and after my 9-5! I am dependable, caring and responsible. I love to help care for animals and enjoy helping others in my free time. I care for pets in my clients home by being respectful of the space and leaving food and leashes right where I found them and belong. Being respectful and caring of my client’s pet and space is very important to me.

About: I treat every pet like family, giving them personalized love, attention, and care. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra patience or meds. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available after 6pm on weekdays and fully open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, cuddles, and quality time. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds. I give them lots of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. I always respect your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

“Maggie was absolutely incredible! I was so lucky to have found her. She was so patient with my pups and their anxiety with my being gone. It looked like they warmed right up to her. She communicated daily and took pictures. They had a few accidents and Maggie was so pleasant about everything. I would definitely recommend her.”


“Annie is wonderful. She not only fed and cared for our cat Misty daily but she was kind enough to bring in our mail and pull the trash cans up from the street. She is very flexible and is willing to help out as needed. We paid her extra to water some outdoor plants, which took almost two hours of her time. I must reiterate, Annie is very willing to help you in anyway she can. We will definitely be contacting her again!”


About: I have loved caring for pets since I got my first family dog 17 years ago! For a couple years now, I have taken care of a range of both cats and dogs for friends, family, and even neighbors while they were away. Several have said they’ll never use another sitter again! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time during the week and weekends to make sure your pet is well taken care of and provided for! I am also available to spend nights at nearby homes. I am patient, adaptive, and love all the playtime and snuggles I can get from your pets. Your pets will always be well provided for with food, water, playtime-and most importantly I will always ensure their safety while you’re away!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.

“I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!”


“Thank you Caroline for another week of cat sitting. We are so grateful that Seymour is in great hands while we are away. I think he misses you!”


About: I love walking dogs, and have two Dobermans of my own. I have a lot of experience walking dogs! (I have owned a lab and six Dobermans) so I feel very comfortable with large breeds. I have a very flexible schedule now! That may change as I find more clients but please contact with what you need and I will get back you you ASAP! I don’t offer boarding right now. Does your dog need a run? I’m very happy to jog/run with your dog. Any questions please feel free to reach out!

About: I volunteer to walk and train the dogs at my local animal shelter. I can provide basic training for your pet like commands and leash/ dog reactivity. Im currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can come to you or you can come to me. I have one senior friendly dog at home. I have a spare bedroom currently not in use, so your pet can sleep there or in my living room. I live in a calm and safe neighborhood great for walks

About: I had my dog from 6 months old to 13 years. So I have experience with young dogs, including my friends and neighbor's puppies, as well as senior dog care with special diets and care needs. I am home from college so I have plenty of free time to give my full focus on the dogs (and cats). I also enjoy the physical exercise that sometimes comes with caring for dogs. I try to quickly learn a pet's schedule and behaviour and adapt to how they prefer to spend their time, while giving them a fulfilling time and activities and making sure the owner is satisfied.
