“Caitlin was so great with our babies! She was able to get my super shy cat to eat, which is always difficult to achieve with a new person. She was very communicative and made us feel totally at ease.”

Currently working Monday through Saturday from 6am to 7pm. This is my only job at the moment so my availability is wide open and I will accept same day bookings. I build trust and respect with any pet I encounter. I’ll ensure everyone’s care needs are met, and give your pets plenty of love and attention to hold them over until they see you next.

About: I have over 18 years of hands-on experience working with animals and take pride in providing safe, knowledgeable care for every pet I work with. I’ve trained multiple dogs in behavioral rehabilitation and personal protection, which has given me strong skills in reading body language and handling a wide range of temperaments. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable monitoring pets for health concerns and administering medications if needed. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience training and handling horses, which has helped me develop patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I truly care about the animals in my care and believe every pet deserves attentive, reliable, and compassionate treatment while their owners are away. I work from home so I have all the hours to dedicate to your pets and provide the best care possible. Book with me today! I have a full fenced in farm with the ability to keep your furbaby separate from other animals or the ability to let your fur babies play with others. Crates are available as well.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs with very different breeds, personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. I’ve grown up around pit bulls and retrievers and am currently a proud Chiweenie owner. One thing I’ve learned from caring for dogs is that understanding their behavior is just as important as feeding them and taking them for walks. I’ve had experience recognizing when a dog is frightened or overstimulated and giving them the space and reassurance they need. For example, when my childhood dog became overwhelmed after a stressful interaction, I took him somewhere quiet so he could calm down. During thunderstorms and fireworks, when he would tremble with fear, I would bring him somewhere comfortable and stay with him until he settled. I’m also the person at family gatherings who naturally ends up keeping an eye on the dogs—making sure they’re getting enough exercise and attention while also making sure younger kids give them appropriate space and treat them respectfully. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, bathing, and overnight care. I enjoy both tiring out an energetic dog and providing a calm presence for a nervous one. I’ve also cared for cats and generally find that they warm up to me pretty quickly. Most importantly, I will enjoy taking the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routines, and boundaries. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I am available throughout the day. I wake up early and care for my own dog before 8 AM every day. I can come by whenever is needed or stick around if that is preferred! I start by taking any instruction from you to heart regarding your pet's personality and habits. Outside of that, I generally would like to start by having a joint meeting between me, your furry friend, and their best friend: you! That way, they can establish a level of trust for when I come by on my own. I follow the routine that you would like me to follow while remaining alert to your pet in the present, just like with my own pup.

About: Had pets of my own and helped pet-sit for others since I was in middle school. I’ve always had a huge spot in my heart for all sorts of animals. I would say I’m good at walking bigger dogs due to daily strength training and owning a large dog of my own. I make my own schedule for my sales job, therefore I can work things out to be able to take proper care of your fur baby! I have a dog and cat at my apartment, and both are friendly with other animals. Can easily crate my animals or yours depending on your wants. Can either come to your place or bring your pets to mine. However, I don’t have a fenced in yard and have to walk fur babies on a leash if coming to my place.

About: Hi! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and animals have always been one of my biggest passions. I currently have two rescue dogs and a rescue kitten, so I am constantly surrounded by animals and am very familiar with the care, attention, and love they require. My dogs are apartment dogs with a small yard, so we average about 5–6 walks a day. Walking, playing with, and loving on animals are genuinely some of my favorite things to do. My mission is to provide the best care possible for your pet while also making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have plenty of experience caring for puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, administering medications, animal hygiene, and more. I am comfortable around animals of any size, color, or breed, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. When I come to walk, play with, visit, or take care of your animals, I will dedicate my time to making sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I love being able to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving other people peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for. A little about my own pets: I have my Pittie, Bandit, who is 6 years old and a rescue. I also have Koda, my 3 month old Pitbull/German Shepherd mix who is also a rescue. Lastly, I have Loki, my 4 month old rescue kitten. They are my world, and I would treat your pets with that same love and care! I am a full-time online student at ASU, which means I am home most of the time and have very open availability. I am also very flexible and can often accept last-minute bookings I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly dogs! I also walk my dogs very frequently and don’t mind to add more to our walks. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space and beds for playing, sleeping, and zoomies!

About: I have a strong medical knowledge background, I have cared for sick dogs, cats and rabbits before. I'm very patient with animals. I try my best to give my animals lots of mental stimulations, either a puzzle to work with or a fun catch game to play, there's never a boring day in their life. I look forward to spare the fun and love to your beloved pets too. I work part time and study the rest. My schedule is mostly flexible. We can always try to make things work. Our dogs and boarding dogs will be out for their walk ( unless extreme weather prohibits the walk) 1-2 times a day. In my home, there is a fenced backyard, where the dog could play. I have a room dedicated for dog, and a backup room dedicated for dog training. I have all emergency vet number on speed dial, I also know how to perform CPR/ First aid for pets if accident happens, I'm getting my official pet CPR license right now.

“Nicole was fantastic! She went above and beyond with both myself and my cat. She scheduled a Meet & Greet before I left to get the lay of the land and meet my kitty. She truly has a heart for animals and so much knowledge. It takes a special person to “know cats” and Nicole gets it. She spent so much time during her visits to spend time with my cat, she didn’t just stop in and feed him and leave. Also, it’s worth noting that we had a major snowstorm here (more than we have had in YEARS) and she still found a way to get here twice a day in the weather to make sure my cat was cared for. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone and will tell all my friends to use her as well. She’s a gem!”

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, including your not so normal fur friends, like a baby deer, chinchillas, sugar gliders, raccoons, a squirrel and that is where my love of all animals started. My mother would nurse back to health any animal she could and taught me the care and respect animals deserve. I’ve been a professional pet sitter for 15 years and come with a plethora of references. My pet sitting skills also include care for senior pets that require medications, and syringe feeding. I would love to be the one your trust for your fur pets! I do have a full time job. I work 8:30 to 4:30 Mon-Thursday and get off at 12:30 pm on Fridays. I’m off every Saturday and Sunday. I would make sure to feed and let everyone out in the mornings, and come spend the night at your house for the rest of the evening so your beloved pet doesn’t have the stress of being somewhere they don’t recognize, so they can relax and be comfortable at home while you’re away. I take pride in knowing every pet’s unique quirks, whether that be to have to add special human food to their bowl, needing to be hand fed, a special dinner feeding song, or having to act like you’re cooking their food on the stove. I’ve seen them all and I take pride in assuring you your babies will be taken care of with the utmost respect and care you give them yourself. I’m also experienced in giving medications. I do not offer pet care on my own home. My care can include drop ins only if needed, or full overnight care.

About: I’ve taken care of, for one, my own dog since I was young and besides from that my neighbors, friends, and family always rely on me when they’re out of town to take care of their pets:) I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I’m currently enrolled at the University Of Louisville, and have some in person and also online classes so when I’m available could differ but I’m pretty flexible and I could bring my laptop anywhere! I love pets like they’re my own, I have a deep spot in my heart for them all🥹 I can crate any size dog if need be (I know some worry about that). More than happy to take them out wherever whenever, play/walk with them, or bathe them:)!

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life, therefore I know how to take care of them. I’ve looked after neighbors dogs before when they were out of the house. I love to get to know dogs personalities and who they are. I am a college student but most of my classes are online, I am available during the day whenever you need me! I do have commitments on Fridays from 4-6 but other than that I should be available! I love to walk my dog Danny! I always keep him on the leash but he is very friendly. When I enter your home, I will respect any rules we set. Your dog will be my responsibility for that time slot we choose and I will make sure they are safe throughout my entire stay, however long.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail and the level of care and communication I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, or medication. I prioritize clear, ongoing communication by regularly checking in with owners, sending updates and photos, and making sure they feel confident about how their pets are doing. I’m also happy to help with small errands, such as picking up pet supplies or essentials, to make time away as stress-free as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. Not scared of dirty work, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws and administering meds. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. So I I have a lot of flexibility, for overnights and dropping by during the day. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary needs, exercise, and daily routines. Care includes providing fresh water, playtime, walks if needed, companionship, and administering medications as directed. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and pet areas, and I ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. I prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being while providing regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

About: I have 3 golden retrievers and rescued 2 cats. I've spent the last 6 years caring for my own animals and helping friends, family, and neighbors with theirs.

My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to be flexible and at home majority of the time. I schedule my days to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We are household full of animals, always. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. For dogs we have a fenced in backyard with space to run around. A crate must be provided for overnight stays for dogs. For cats, they can roam freely. I have clean litter boxes, and opportunities for play and enrichment.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
