“Christina was a fantastic sitter to our aging dog and guinea pigs! Sue was very attentive and reliable. She communicated well with visit updates and truly bonded with our pets, especially our dog. Definitely will use her services again!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life, and I can't imaging existing without them. Animals should be cherished, and I'm excited to share that love with your animals. In high school, I started working at an animal shelter, and it was one of my favorite jobs. I worked with cats, dogs, small animals (rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc), reptiles -- even a pig! Many of them came in angry or scared and I quickly learned the patience and gentleness needed to bond with this vulnerable group. I cultivated other skills as well, including providing enrichment, cleaning their spaces (including animals dealing with various illnesses), meeting dietary needs, grooming, and ensuring safety (animal-animal interactions, animal-person interactions, general safety). I've since moved on from that job, but I have been looking for ways to integrate animal care back into my life. I'd love to do drop in visits, whether thats because you work long hours or are out of town for work or vacation. I adore playing and snuggling with cats (or even just being in the same room as them - especially if theyre shy or a little fiesty with strangers). I'm comfortable walking dogs or letting them out in the yard to run around and play, cleaning up after pets, basic grooming, or just spending a few hours with them and providing enrichment. I am also comfortable with most animals and any age! If there are specific needs your (fur)baby has, I'm more than happy to accommodate. I work two jobs in mental health care, both with flexible hours that change week-to-week. I often have time between client visits or jobs, and am available on weekends. Overall availability ranges from 7am - 8pm. I can't do overnight stays or have other animals in my home, as it would be too stressful on my own cat. Between Oct. 1st and Nov. 15 or so, I will have more availability, since my jobs will be virtual while I recover from shoulder surgery. I dont anticipate having many issues with being able to care for animals during this recovery, and I can discuss this further with folks if need be.

I strive to build trust with every pet I care for, and I’m proud that many of my clients have chosen me as their recurring pet sitter.

I typically provide care in your home to help keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I can also welcome your furry family members into my home for stays of up to two days, if needed. While I do not have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through long walks and trips to local parks.

I carefully follow your care instructions and make sure every dog in my care receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and responsible supervision. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Alliyah watched our 15 y/o dog for 12 days while we were on spring break. She was easy to schedule with and communicative. Georgie seemed to really enjoy her visits and we recommend her!”

About: I grew up around pets and always loved them. All through undergrad and graduate school, I have been a pet sitter and house sitter. Once I was done and could finally get a pet of my own, I got one frenchie… and the other followed just a few short months later. My puppies are my whole world, and they LOVE having new friends! I work full-time from home, and have a fenced backyard! Our house gets lots of natural light which means sunny naps indoors when it’s chilly. I take our pups on at least one long walk a day, and plenty of playtime inside and outside. I have a fenced yard and lots of open space in the home. My two Frenchies LOVE all dogs - for playing and snuggling during the day. I love hanging out on the couch with our pups and relaxing, going for nice walks when weather permits, and lots of play with toys and balls!
