About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.

“She made three visits a day to our house for our dog and cat. They loved her, and she did everything perfectly including giving our dog plenty of walks and giving her her medicine. We will definitely be asking her to come watch our pets again in the future!”

“Brittney was really great taking care of our two cats while we were away. She's dependable, detail-oriented and caring. We loved getting photos each day. Definitely recommended!”

Christine D.

“From the reports and Rover card photos Izzy really enjoyed Emma's company, and despite being a shy cat, he came out and let her brush him right away. She made me feel comfortable leaving Izzy in someone else's care for the first time. I will definitely book her for my next trip, if she's available.”

“Jonathan did a great job taking care of our boys. He was on time, took photos and our shy cat warmed up to him. We felt at ease while traveling because Jonathan was so reliable and loves animals. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind from old to young since I was little. I have watched family dogs, and friends dogs both in the comfort of my own home and gone to spend the night at their houses. I’ve also trained my own dogs throughout the years, including potty training, simple commands, and crate training. I am currently working part-time at my job and stay home with my son. I am mainly home except for the weekends. And on the weekends, my husband will be home to help out. I have a fenced in yard and currently only have one dog of my own who is super friendly and very energetic so she will exercise your dog in our front yard. She loves to cuddle and she is crate trained. I also have an extra crate in case dogs need to be created for whatever reason.

“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! She took care of Tilly our “spicy” and sometimes difficult cat with ease. She always sent us photos and was very communicative. I will definitely hire her again when needed and would highly recommend!!!”

Marina M.

About: I think animals are to be loved and treated like they are part of the family! Growing up I had 5 cats, 4 guinea pigs, 3 hamsters, 2 mice. Currently I have 2 cats of my own and I love them so dearly. I'm currently in-between jobs so I have pretty much full availability at the moment. Weekends are good for long term relationships, but we can figure something out if you need care on weekdays! I can go to your place and feed animals, scoop cat litter boxes, take dogs for walks, play, cuddle, pretty much anything you would need me to do, just let me know!

“Liz was great! She made our accommodation on short notice and communicated before, during and after the visit. We will definitely ask her to stop by again!”

About: What sets me apart is my background as a Licensed Veterinary Technician. While I love playtime and cuddles, I provide a level of oversight that standard sitters cannot. I am proficient in Animal medicine, including insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, and complex pill schedules. I have a "clinical eye" for the subtle changes in senior pets, ensuring their comfort and catching potential issues early. I am trained in low-stress handling techniques for anxious patients to help keep them happy in their own environment. My years in practice mean I remain calm and decisive in medical emergencies. I provide more than just a check-in; I offer the peace of mind that your pet is being watched by a veterinary professional. I have a pretty consistent schedule and with a pet of my own that has another parent at home with them, I can travel pretty freely.

“Jake is seriously the best. He made a meet and greet with our little puppy an importance and has gone above and beyond with him. I love his constant communication, the picture updates, and how involved he is with our little boys care. He communicates about timing, ask questions, and ensures Onyx gets play time with puzzles games and fun beyond just doing the basics with him! Love love love Jake!!!”
