About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for them when I was just a kid. Over the years, I’ve become the person friends, family, and neighbors trust to look after their pets. Whether it’s walking energetic puppies, feeding senior dogs, or comforting anxious rescues, I always show up with patience and care. I also work with dogs and cats in my current job, so I’m very comfortable handling a variety of needs and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and a focus on making them feel safe and happy. I work part time so I have a pretty flexible schedule currently! I’m able to do walks, check ins, or extended stays for the more anxious pets. I don’t care for pets in my own home, but when I’m in someone else’s, I treat it like my own and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I have two cats who are spoiled in the best way—they get time outside, lots of love, and all the attention they need. That same care carries over into how I treat every animal I look after. I’ll always follow your routine and make sure your pet feels comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

About: I've been watching my own personal pets as well as other peoples since I was a young child. I trained my dog, a half lab/half Weimeraner to retrieve at a pretty high level. I had a three legged cat as well. I've been living with dogs my entire life and cats for the last eight years I work remotely and would prefer to house sit in a place where I can also do my work. Your pet would have someone around the majority of the time and I can take care of other business. According to the conditions and the pets stated needs. I love walking dogs and retrieving with them and it is always nice giving cats catnip if they like catnip.

About: I am a 41yo Born & Raised Florida Boy. Brought up on a farm with everything from chickens, cows, Horses, pigs, sheep to Chow chews, English Mastiffs & Pugs. I genuinely love all animals but Dogs in general steal my heart so fast. I currently do not work so I am available 24 x 7 at this time. Plenty of time to offer love & care to your fur babies. I am also available to stay or visit your place if you feel more secure that way. I'm looking for a few ongoing visits as to not only build a relationship with the fur babies but as to make the stays as stress free as possible for both human & pet. I have a 1 bed flat. Plenty of dog parks and places to go for a walk. I do not have a fenced in yard but the dog parks and outside is where we like to he as a family.

About: I love all animals, with proper direction I’m positive I can give adequate care to any and all animals and ensure their safety and health. I work full time with a nonprofit organization downtown that helps unhoused youths. My schedule is Sunday through Thursday from 2:30 pm - 10:30. My days off are Friday and Saturday. I can take one break depending on the how far the location is from my work to give a potty break. In my free time I’m devoted to whatever may come and is needed for any and all pets ❤️ I’ve worked with the state for most of my adult life and always have passed a background check. My resume includes elderly care, hospital healthcare, in home healthcare, and most recently three years as a domestic violence/homeless shelter advocate with a non profit organization in rural Alaska. I’ve had animals my entire life and enjoy the company of all! I have experience with not only cats and dogs but fish, rodents and reptiles as well. I am open and eager to learn and care for all different kinds of animals and am confident in my abilities to do so with adequate information from the pet parents.

“Joy always takes such great care of our pups! They have a great time with her. She is very reliable and prompt with her communication. We highly recommend!”

“Tori was responsive and very communicative, and paid great attention to our pup! I appreciated that she was willing to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, to make sure our pup was comfortable with her and wouldn't be surprised by a stranger. Thank you!! Would definitely book again.”


“Laura was reliable and responsible. We have a sketchy dog and we were very comfortable with how she handled him. We will absolutely book her next time we need someone to walk Frank.”


About: Whether you've got a playful pup, a chill kitty, or a scaly sidekick, I've got them covered with dependable, loving care. I specialize in quick visits, feedings, walks, and snuggles (or heat lamp hangs!) tailored to each pet's needs. Big or small, furry or scaly - I treat your pet like my own. As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, timely care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday check-in, regular walks, or some extra company hip, I'm nearby and ready when they need me most. Pet's saftey and comfort are my top priority - keeping a calm, trustworthy environment where they feel secure. I am familiar with common behaviors tied to separation anxiety and illness. I will also ask you your pets specifics behaviors (you do know them best) & will always check in with you if I notice anything outside the norm. You can count on me to follow routines, respect boundaries, and treat your pet with care.

“Gloria takes great care of my senior dog and is awesome at communicating.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, previously lived on a farm and currently have 3 boy kitties who are so much fun. My goal for 2025 is to add a pup to our family. I love the dogs who are misunderstood with a tenderheart. & I cannot wait to connect with your fur baby :) I currently work part time but my availability is flexible! I prefer not to work on Sundays because that’s my sabbath but I’d love to see what works for you and your pet :) I have experience with litter boxes, feeding, administering medications, and cages. As long as you walk me through your process I’ll learn and get your fur baby taken care of.

William M.
“William M. is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two rat terriers and later became the exclusive pet sitter for our Boykin spaniel. I always knew I could count on William to show up and feed my dog, take him out, and spend time playing with him while I was away. It was clear that my dog enjoyed spending time with William and was always eager to see him coming over as William was also a friend of the family. William is both gentle and firm and knows how to handle dogs, and they respond well to him. I recommend William with 100% confidence.”


Joshua S.
“Watching Joshua interact with my mother's elderly pug and my baby kitten was truly a joy to behold. His ability to connect with animals on a emotional and physical and psychological level is anything short of amazing. Joshua has a cheery and adoring disposition along with a passionate soul that dogs and cats and animals of all kind can really connect with. His experience in the medical field has been proven to showcase his abilities and capabilities when it comes to caring for animals and their needs. He is a devoted and caring owner when it comes to his own pug Deku, these two share a bond that is unmatched by any pairing of human and animal kind I have ever seen in my life. On many occasions I have witnessed Joshua put Deku's needs and other animals needs before his own. I have the utmost respect for Joshua and his loving and caring demeanor and passion for animals. I highly recommend him for anybody who wants someone to be focused on their furry companion. Thank you. Jordan Cote”


Katraena R.
“Katraena is an outgoing, very compassionate person. She goes out of her ways to help others around her and their pets. One winter she was dog sitting for her sister, and she wanted to take the dog out for fresh air so she walked the dog to my place so the dogs could play together. She also dog sat for me a couple times and always kept me updated with everything and anything. I came home and my dog was very attached to Katraena. I have known Katie for about 4 years now and she’s always been responsible and very smart with her choices.”

She also knows to keep a watchful eye for any injury or health problems. She has lots of experience with pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors.
