Pet Sitting Brighton

About: My passion for animals has been at the heart of my pet care experience for years. I have dedicated my time to volunteering with animal shelters, fostering dogs, and providing compassionate care to pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my work with rescue organizations, I have gained hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, dogs with stranger anxiety, leash reactivity, and pets that require single-animal homes. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels so they feel safe and secure while in my care. Friends, fellow volunteers, and pet owners describe me as caring, patient, trustworthy, and dependable. I believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and plenty of affection. Whether I'm taking a dog for a walk, providing in-home care, or simply spending quality time with them, I treat each pet as if they were my own. My experience fostering rescue dogs has taught me how to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate in a variety of situations, allowing me to build trust with animals that may be fearful or anxious. My goal is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are receiving exceptional care. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience for every pet and every family I have the privilege to assist. I am currently attending school Monday through Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During those days, I am unavailable during school hours but can provide care before and after class. I have full availability on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you're looking for overnight house sitting or pet sitting, I am available all seven days of the week. Please note that on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, I will be away from the home between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM while attending school. I'd be happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and schedule to determine if I'm the right fit. I look forward to connecting with you and providing dependable, compassionate care for your pets! Most importantly, I want to assure you that I will adhere to all instructions, rules, and expectations you provide for your pet’s care. While in-home care is often ideal for maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment for your pet, I am also available to provide boarding if needed. I reside in a pet-friendly apartment community that includes a dog wash station and is conveniently located adjacent to a park, offering easy access to outdoor space and exercise. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your preferences and determine the arrangement that best supports your pet’s comfort and well-being.

“Mandy is amazing!!! Truly cannot say enough great things, she was so sweet to my cats which made me feel more comfortable being away. You can tell Mandy genuinely cares for pets, my cats looked so happy and at ease in the adorable pics and videos sent after check ins. Highly recommend, thank you again Mandy!”

“We’ve utilized Laurel’s pet care a couple of times now, and she is wonderful! She has been reliable, great with communication, and gives our dog plenty of love/walks/playtime. We’d totally recommend Laurel! 🙂”

“Anais has watched our cats multiple times while we were travelling and every time has been wonderful. She takes great care of their needs and send lots of fun playtime pictures and videos. She is also very quick to respond to any communication. Overall, I would strongly recommend Anais for any catsitting you require!”

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience across the entire developmental spectrum, from neonate kittens requiring specialized feeding to the patient care required for senior dogs with mobility challenges. I'm comfortable administering oral/topical medications for both cats and dogs. I move at the pet’s pace. Whether a pet is shy, high-energy, or slowing down with age, I tailor my approach to their unique comfort levels and temperament to make sure they stay happy and healthy. As a full-time professional in an office Monday through Thursday (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM), I provide highly structured and reliable care. I treat my sitting schedule with the same level of commitment as my career. Monday – Thursday: Full availability for walks, feeding, and playtime starting at 6:00 PM. Overnights: I am happy to provide overnight care for pets that are comfortable being home independently during a standard workday. Friday – Sunday: * Full-Day Availability: My schedule is completely open for adventure walks, multiple drop-ins, or more specialized care. My approach is centered on maintaining your pet's comfort and routine in the environment they know best—their own home! My evenings and weekends are dedicated to whatever your pet needs most—whether that’s an playtime, a precise medication routine, or just hanging out together on the couch! I'm comfortable administering various medications and am prepared for emergencies with my CPR training. Beyond keeping your pets safe, I treat your home with respect, ensuring it stays tidy, secure, and exactly as you left it.

About: I've owned and taken care of a plethora of different animals from horses to dogs. I'm experienced with many dog breeds, and I currently own a (spoiled) chihuahua. I'm currently taking a break from work, so I'll be available to help take care of your fur babies! I'm willing to work with you about availability depending on my schedule! I'm comfortable tending to all your dog's needs. I'm experienced with many things like lease walking and crate training. Feel free to let me know what your specific pet needs!

“Noa was a great communicator and took great care of our cats while we were away. We will definitely trust her with them again if she is free for our next trip!”

Jeff L.

“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”

“Mei was so good with our 2 kitties, did a great job with taking care of their needs and playing with them! She was easy to communicate with and very dependable ?”

Megan L.

“Luke did an awesome job! Banks looked happy and we got a bunch of great updates!”

Kassidy H.

“Kristina responded promptly to a late request for check ins and was great from the beginning. She was quick to respond and accommodating with times. She even volunteered to come by my house before the check ins began to ensure she understood feeding/medicating instructions. She went above and beyond and was always prompt with pictures and updates during the care period. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

Adam M.

“Ash has done a great job caring for our 9 week old puppy during drop-ins. Ash goes the extra mile to make sure Violet eats, plays, and goes out. We are so appreciative.”

About: James and I started pet sitting and traveling in 2018, and it has been a fabulous adventure. We enjoy taking care of all animals. We love walking the dogs to get our steps in and cats with their uniqueness. We believe staying home with them until they get settled in is very important. We won’t leave them home alone, as they are happier when we’re around. Lots of walks, play time, and snuggles. We have lived in Seward Park since 2003 in a home with a fenced yard about a mile from the park. It is a great dog walking neighborhood. We enjoy puppies and senior dogs. We are also good medicine givers. Call or text us. We are a Retired married couple who throughly enjoy dogs/cats. We have been International pet sitters since 2018, and we have found that bonding is the most important thing about boarding a new animal. Creating a trust and being there with them so they don’t feel alone. Having fun activities to do that they enjoy is imperative. Many times it’s walking and “getting a smell” of their new environment. We have many popular walking neighborhood loops and Seward Park is always a hit. We enjoy them and they enjoy us. We make it a priority to listen to their individual language and gain their trust. Our home has screened windows and lots of light. We have safe hiding places, a comfy bed, and are home a lot, which they really like. Food is very important and we feed them as requested. We listen to what our pet owners have to say about their animals, as everyone is different. Please let us know anything else that makes them feel comfortable.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals—dogs, chickens, roosters, bunnies, and even bees! Being around animals from such a young age taught me how to care for them responsibly and confidently. I learned how to walk large dogs early on and picked up basic training techniques along the way. I love taking dogs on walks, but I’m also available for house sitting and can administer around-the-clock medications if needed. I have experience with both young and senior pets, and I’m very comfortable with high-energy breeds. I grew up with a boxer for most of my life, so a dog that pulls on the leash is nothing new to me! I truly love all animals and am happy to help however I can. Just let me know what you and your pet need, and I’ll be honest about my experience and make sure they get the best care possible. I currently work from home and most of my hours are asynchronous, so pet care fits pretty easily into my schedule and I am very flexible with hours! Unless I am already booked at that time, I am most likely available. I first want to make sure that I create a safe place for the pet. So for example, I am very comfortable with and prefer using leashes. I am always keeping a trained eye out for unleashed dogs on walks, regardless of whether your dog is friendly or not. As for cats, especially indoor, I want to make sure that they get the care they need, so that means taking care that the door is closed while I am inside performing a feeding so that no accidents occur. As far as the home goes, I like to leave a place better than I found it if possible, and I will ask necessary questions to make sure I know exactly how best to work with your animal in a safe and efficient manner.

“Kiwi recently took care of our two cats and was amazing with them! She was very thorough and took notes and asked the right questions during our meet and greet. The cats seemed to warm up to her right away! Our cats can be quite shy, so it was great to see them feel so comfortable with her so soon. Kiwi went above and beyond to care for our kitties and we were so grateful to have her! We would definitely book her again!”

About: I tend to bond well with doggos and am happy to walk, feed, cuddle, give belly rubs, and play tug-of-war and fetch with your dog(s). I also have experience caring for senior doggies who need medications and extra care and attention. I'm available for daily dog-walking, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting. I have a roommate who loves and can care for my cat so I am able to stay in your home and keep your pet company while you're away. I'm able to stop in for a time to feed and care for or walk your pet, or I can stay at your home if your pet needs more company and support. As a long-time cat mom who treasures her feline companion, I understand the importance of knowing your pet is being well-cared for when you can't be there. I commit to showing your pet the same care I would show my own, and I will be respectful of your home and conscientious about keeping it clean!

“This is our 3rd booking with Diana. She follows all instructions and sends regular updates on our cats. She's a great, nice person and we're looking forward to working with her again!”

Brian Matthew H.

“Jessica was AMAZING! We had to book with her last minute and she was so eager and flexible to help out and was so good to our elderly dog- it provided so much peace of mind while we were away. We will be booking with her again next time we have to be out of town! Truly, thank you so much, Jessica! :)”

About: Im just an animal lover that has a lot of time currently, I’m not necessarily setting myself apart from other sitters if not only that I’m reliable and responsible having myself two babies. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to to some pet sitting or take a stroll to Seward park. Depending on the pet owners instructions I normally take care of pets as they were of of my own Huskies, with care and patience. I make sure my babies are in short medium leash when walking and long leash when there’s no one around.
