About: We currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've worked at the westfield animal shelter and have helped with new puppy feedings. I have had dogs most of my life and would love to watch yours. Me and my girlfriend work opposite days so someone is usually home. We work early in the day so most of the time the dogs are just sleeping. We have an extra crate if needed. We have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs of our own. There is a bathroom part of the yard that's fenced in and an area for play.
“Super helpful with a last minute request.”
About: I have experience taking care of big and small dogs, shy and friendly cats, as well as aquatic life like salt water fish and turtles. I work from home full time so I am more than available to bring my work with me to house sit on occasion as well as use my lunch breaks to take your dog on a walk. I am good at following directions no matter how bizarre it may be. The safety of your pet especially in their own home is my top priority.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from raising playful puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’m experienced and comfortable meeting the needs of dogs at every age and stage! As a flight attendant, my schedule is always changing, which actually gives me a lot of flexibility in my time off. On my days home, I love being grounded and spending quality time caring for pets. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle because I’m able to fully dedicate my attention to the animals when I’m off. Whether it’s a quick drop in, a walk, or overnight care, I make sure to plan around my availability so I can be reliable and present for each pet I care for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, loving, and calm environment. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions or preferences from the owner. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I give them plenty of affection and attention to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also keep the owner updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind while they’re away.

I work a hybrid schedule between home and the office but can take remote weeks and work completely from home occasionally.

About: I have had a love for animals since I was very little! I take the responsibility of caring for others very seriously and treat them as if they were my own! Let me take the worry and stress out of hiring a pet sitter by knowing you have someone reliable for you babies I just graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and will be starting law school come August! I have open availability for the summer between 8-5 (sometimes a little later)! Caring for pets is more than just a job—it's a responsibility I take seriously. Whether I’m providing care in my own home or visiting yours, my approach is grounded in safety, trust, and creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. **In My Home:** * I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proof environment. * Pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe areas, and I use closed doors to manage boundaries if needed. * All animals are introduced slowly and carefully to avoid stress or conflict, especially if there are other pets. * I follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and comfort items to help your pet feel at home. **In Clients' Homes:** * I respect your space and follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pet comfortable. * I keep doors and gates secure at all times and double-check for any escape risks. * I provide regular updates, including photos/videos and messages, or phone/video calls so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. * I observe pets for any changes in behavior or health and will notify you immediately if anything seems off. In all settings, I use positive reinforcement techniques, handle animals with compassion, and maintain high standards of hygiene. My goal is always to build a trusting bond with both you and your pet, creating a safe and stress-free experience for everyone.
