About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid and have always loved watching and walking my friends’ and family’s pets. I have significant volunteer experience at animal shelters and with service dogs in training and have been a sitter for my friends’ pets for my entire adult life. Currently I’m most available on evenings and weekends, but I will have full time availability during July and August when I can be flexible to your and your pet’s needs. I have experience caring for pets in others’ homes and ensure that instructions are all meticulously followed and to spend time meeting the needs of every animal I see.

Lia took such good care of my two kitties and 1 yr old dog. She was attentive to detail, a great communicator, and very consistent. I would not hesitate to have her care for my pets again! They were so comfortable around her, even my shy kitty! I think that’s a big testament to her experience and skills.

About: I’ve always been around dogs and have years of hands-on experience helping friends and family with walking, feeding, and general care. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m especially attentive to routines—whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, getting in quality walks, or just making sure your dog feels comfortable and engaged while you’re away. I work a consistent 9–5 schedule, which makes my availability very predictable and reliable. I’m available for walks or drop-ins before work, after work, and in the evenings, as well as flexible availability on weekends. This is a great fit for dogs who need early morning exercise, evening care, or weekend attention while you’re away. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and behavioral preferences. On walks, I stay alert and avoid unsafe situations, and in the home I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and supervised. I’m respectful of your space and aim to provide consistent, dependable care you can trust.

About: Hi! I’m sanibel and I have experience with all kinds of dogs from bulldogs to German Shepards to chihuahuas. Special skills include awesome dog walking, on-time potty breaks, and cuddling. I am currently working a flexible part time schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! My availability is open for all high and low maintenance doggies- your wish is my command! Available most weekdays and weekends. 7+ day sits are also available! Caring for your pet in the environment they feel comfortable in is very important to me— familiarizing myself with both your pup and their home is something I important to a relationship, and I always treat these spaces with the utmost respect and care. Asking questions to ensure the best experience and providing daily updates is my style of care :)

About: Hello! I am a PhD graduate student in the Brighton area. Off this summer, so I am looking forward to spending time with animals and in the sun. In terms of experience: I grew up with dogs always in my household (e.g., shitzu, dalmatian, and beagle), and I walked, fed, and cleaned after all of them. Several summers ago, I potty trained a beagle my family sheltered. Whenever I visit home or family, I am always playing/walking/watching dogs (of all sizes) of my family members. I also love cats and have exposure through friends, although I have no formal training with them. In terms of my schedule: very open and flexible throughout all the summer. happy to do sitting/walking any time or day. Please feel free to message or call me, and I will try to respond ASAP! My schedule is very open and flexible throughout all the summer. Happy to do sitting/walking any time or day. Preference for early morning or mid/late afternoon. I live in an apartment on the third floor (accessible via stairs or elevator). It is pet friendly: large living room, open spaces, tidy, and clean. I am very flexible with toys, pens, and/or beds.

Alina took care of my 8 month old large golden doodle. She is the most calm, reliable, responsible and responsive person. We were a little worried as we were leaving our puppy first time and were anxious to how will he respond to be home alone. She took extra care and did every possible thing to make us feel comfortable and him feel happy. She is extremely compassionate and loves animals. She takes here task very seriously and performs all tasks diligently. I will absolutely use her again in future. She is the best we could have. THANK YOU SO MUCH ALINA YOU WERE SUPERLATIVE!!

Kayla did a great job with my dog, Archie! She is professional, courteous and follows directions. I’m always worried to leave Archie with sitters, as he needs extra guidance on walks. but Kayla handled him like she had been watching him for years. I look forward to hiring her again!
