About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Kristina was fantastic as always! We were away out of the country, and knew that our cats would be taken care of! She is super consistent and we will continue to use her when we are away!”

“Cleo was well taken care of and I was updated every step of the way. I felt at ease knowing that Shelby was being so attentive and caring for my girl. I'll definitely be rebooking next time I need a sitter.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5 years old. That includes dogs, cats, lizards, snakes. I love them all. They love me. unfortunately, my apartment complex does not allow Pitbulls sorry I can cover most days and evening needs. I have the needed transportation to meet your needs. I am ready to help you any way I can. I can care for your pets needs in your home or my apartment. I am flexible in doing whatever is required to meet your needs

“Alex was fantastic... super kind and caring to Allie. This was my first time having a cat sitter that was a "stranger" so I was a bit uneasy at first. But rest assure your pet is in good hands. Not once did I have to worry if Allie was being treated well or fed properly. Alex was really great with checking in and giving us updates. 10/10!”

About: Being around animals brings me joy and I want them to feel at ease because I know they are missing their pet parents. My calm, patient and kind personality will be comforting to your pet. I’ve given medications and have cared for many types of dogs and cats as well as chickens, birds and a duck! I am also very conscientious about safety, being on time and keeping your home tidy. When you return home it will be as you left it and to happy pets! I am recently retired, therefore my schedule is flexible daily, including weekends and overnights. Let me know what your needs are and I will do my best to accommodate. I can pet sit in your home. I do not have my own pets but family members I live with have 2 cats that I often help care for. Safety and caring for your home and pets are important to me. You will return to a tidy home. I am happy to discuss how to accommodate your needs.

“Steff was awesome! Communication was perfect, visits were on time and my cats love her! All requests were accommodated and I’ll be happy to use her again.”

“Erin did fantastic with my dog Koda. Koda was a little nervous at first, but Erin took her time and made Koda feel comfortable before taking her on a walk. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Jen was great, she did a great job taking care of our kitty's! We have a special needs cat, and Jen handled her wonderfully! We would definitely recommend her, and we would definitely have her take care of our cats again! 10/10”

“Joanne took care of our 3 pets during drop-in visits over a 3-day period. Joanne showed great care while feeding and interacting with Fiona (our 10 year old pit bull), Davlin (our 17 year old frail cat), as well as Moshie (our shy 13 year old cat). Joanne provided detailed information regarding her care for the individual needs of each of our pets during each visit. She also provided numerous photos of each animal while visiting. Prior to her drop-ins, Joanne came over for a Meet and Greet in order to go over details while visiting, as well as getting to meet our pets. In addition, Joanne kept us up to date with each interaction while visiting and any questions or concerns that she or we may have had during the visits. Without a doubt Joanne demonstrates a tremendous amount of care and professionalism in every aspect while working with us and caring for Fiona, Davlin and Moshie. I look forward to having Joanne care for our pets in the future, as well as highly recommend anyone who has a need for someone to care for their pets.”

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, including reinforcing training, maintaining routines, and providing gentle support for older pets who need extra care. I’m detail‑oriented, safety‑focused, and communicate clearly so owners always feel informed and confident. Every pet is treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my days around consistency. I’m comfortable with early mornings, scheduled walks, feeding times, and regular check‑ins. I treat each visit as a priority, making sure every pet gets dependable care and attention throughout the week. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined — feeding times, walks, play, training reinforcement, and any medication needs. I take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and energy so I can adapt my approach and help them feel secure. For puppies, I reinforce the basics: crate routines, potty breaks, consistent schedules, and positive training habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and gentle, offering slow walks, mobility support, and medication reminders. No matter the age, I keep communication open with owners through updates, photos, and honest check‑ins so they always feel confident and informed.

“Nadine is the best! This is our second time having her look after our two senior dachshunds (come January, they’ll be 15 and 17) and our 22 year old conure. All three were remembered her from her previous stint caring for them, and they were thrilled to see Nadine again. In addition to normal duties, Nadine went above and beyond by cleaning up and replacing pee pads used by my old man and by lifting him up and down the back stoop every time he went out. I will absolutely use Nadine again.”

“Sandy is the most loving care giver in the world. She sent us a text and often a picture of how our dogs were doing each day. During the holidays she brought in packages and even our garbage cans that were blowing in the street. I would highly recommend Sandy for all your dog care needs!”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child - from puppies and kittens to senior furry friends who need a little extra care. I'm happy to make your time away from home worry-free, with walks, feeding, play time and lots of cuddles. I'll take care of your plants and bring in the mail too, making things easy for you to step away. Now that I am retired, I love taking care of cats and dogs! I have the time to offer extra attention, and love it when tails start wagging when I arrive. Let me help you take the worry out of being away! As an active retiree, I am available when you need me. Three visits a day? I'm there. Does your dog relish its long afternoon walk? Me too! Fussy eater needs attention from first bite to clean plate? Maybe a little cuddle time after? The schedule we set up is the schedule I keep! Safety and security is one of the most important parts of pet care. I check for locked doors at every visit. The leash is on before we step outside. I don't engage with neighborhood pets to ensure that your your pup feels safe with me. And while I know that kitties have their own personalities, I am always patient and thoughtful toward their unique needs.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a child, whether they were family or friends or my own pets, I made sure to make myself available when they needed me. My experience includes dog sitting, dog walking and even taking care of medication. I’m currently finishing up college so I am available before and after my classes with any availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When summer starts I will be working part-time at an internship so I will have continued availability that I will update as soon as I can. I have one dog and one cat living at home with me. They are both older now but I’ve had them since they were babies. I am responsible for both animals, for example cleaning up after both of them, feeding them, taking my dog out 3x a day.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I have also dog sat for family and neighbors since I was 15. I start nursing school in September and am looking to make extra money over the summer! I’m very muture and responsible, I also have my own car and am very flexible with hours. I work part time so I am super flexible with when I can spend time with your dogs! I’m available a majority of the time weekdays and weekends. I have an 100lb great pyrenees who is an escape artist, so I am used to keeping a close eye on any animals and take the safety of the dog very serious. I also have experience with crating dogs and can do that if necessary for your pup.

About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.
