About: Hello! My normal day job is in the field of wildlife biology, but I enjoy pet sitting while in between jobs. I was the primary caretaker of the dogs, cats, and other critters in my house growing up! Since then, I've fostered and boarded cats of all ages, raised kittens to be ready for adoption, and have extensive volunteer experience with dogwalking and handling dogs. I've also taken care of birds, fish, and scaly critters! While in between work contracts I am super flexible. When I am in a contract, I work in the daytime, but am free most afternoons a week for dogwalking. My work schedule is fluid, so I have some weekdays available on a case-by-case basis. Your dog will always be safely on-leash when outside, and will always have their ID info on them. The home is pet-proofed and if your pet is alone, they can be crated to make them feel safer.

About: At around 13 years old I started to pet sit, baby sit, etc. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have a 10 year old wheaten terrier named Daisy at home! I am a teacher, so summers are very open for me! Weekdays/weekends are equally as open, starting Aug 2026 it will turn into mostly weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where every pet is treated like a member of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and favorite activities, so they feel comfortable and secure.

“Karen was great with our 2 small dogs! She asked great questions about them and made sure she knew everything she needed to take good care of them. She interacted with them with such patience and kindness. She was also a great communicator!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have grown up surrounded by pets of all kinds. I currently have three cats and one dog, so I’m very comfortable caring for different personalities and needs. I’m home for the summer and looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy—taking care of animals! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone reliable around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently care for my three cats and one dog every day, making sure they’re fed, exercised, played with, and given plenty of attention. Since I’m home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate extra time to caring for other pets as well. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so fitting walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care into my routine comes naturally. I love making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I always make it a priority to care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I know that keeping pets on their regular routine helps them feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and loving environment with lots of supervision, playtime, and opportunities to relax. I make sure they always have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they enjoy being active or prefer a calm, quiet space. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay.

“I got stuck at work and wasn’t able to make it home to feed my kitties their lunch. I reached out to Joana last minute and she was so quick to respond. She made it to my home in time and my kitties loved her. She was so sweet with them and very gentle. Will definitely be reaching out in the future. Thank you Joana you are a life saver.”

About: My whole life I have loved animals, ranging from large to small, old to young, laid back to energetic . I do have my own pet a 8lbs chihuahua-Yorkshire terrier mix and have had many animals growing up so I am very familiar with connecting and taking care of animals of all kinds. From having my own pet I have learned all about taking good care of her, feeding her healthy food, playing with her and giving her tons of attention to make her feel her best. I also have experience administering oral medications and taking the dog to the veterinary for care. I have also fostered a puppy from the local animal shelter which was a great learning experience for me. I have had experience watching neighbors and friends cats and dogs when they have been away on vacation. I’m very friendly and patient with animals, so any specific care will never be a problem, whether you need me to crate your animal, give them their daily oral medication or just spend time and play with them. For longer house sits I am willing to bathe your pet if applicable. I can take care of your pets during the week or weekend. I can also spend most of the day at your house for house sittings. I am very patient and enjoy getting to know each and every pet and making friends with them. I like walking and playing with the pets as well as taking good care of them. I also have experience taking care of a deaf and blind dog which has taught me a lot about patient and loving care.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Dawn to care for our tuxedo cat, Coco, while we traveled abroad for nearly three weeks, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Dawn was communicative, thoughtful, responsible, and incredibly consistent with her check-ins. She sent regular updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind while being so far from home. What stood out most was how comfortable we felt having her in our home and caring for a cat we love so deeply. After meeting Dawn twice before our trip, we immediately felt at ease — and throughout our travels, it was clear Coco was being cared for with genuine gentleness and attention. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for cat made all the difference after an extended trip abroad. We’re so grateful for the care Dawn provided and would absolutely hire her again for “baby”-sitting duties in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable to care for their pets. :)”

“Alec did a fantastic job watching our dogs while we were away. He came over beforehand to meet them and was kind, respectful, and very thorough. During our trip he sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. I really appreciate his professionalism and care, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Ana is honestly the best pet sitter we have ever had! Hands Down! Our cats LOVE her, and they don't love everyone. She spends so much quality time with them and they are so well taken care of, so we don't have to worry. Ana is really amazing, and we highly recommend her.”

In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter care, and any instructions are done exactly as requested. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and stress free in their familiar environment. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks based on their energy level and routine. For cats, I focus on feeding, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and giving attention at their comfort level.
