About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl, including my special needs diabetic schnauzer, helping with insulin injections and pills. Now I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. We love to walk by the outer harbor and play outside when the weather is nice! I’m a 4th year medical student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I have daily availability and lots of energy for walks and playtime with your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I live in an apartment near the outer harbor. I prefer staying at a client’s house where your pets will be most comfortable! We love to go for walks and I have experience walking up to 3 dogs at once on my waist leash.

About: I am 31 years old I have always dog and cat sat for my friends. I have a 1.5 year old cat named Nugget that I rescued! I love taking care of animals and helping others! I am friendly and will love and care for all animals. I am training for my third half marathon so I would love to run and play with your dog to help get my body moving and letting them play and explore! I as well love taking photos and am always willing to take pictures of your pet to keep you updated! If needed I will keep you up to date with how the pets are doing! I am also very clean and love cleaning! So if anything else is needed I am willing to help out!! My current role is a hybrid role so I can WFH when ever I would like! I do sometimes have late night meetings but usually they’re advised a few days in advance. I care for my cat with love and attentiveness! I would bring that same attentiveness to your pets as well! If I am house sitting I will also try to do all the clean up needed of the home and after the pet! I would show them all the love you'd give them while you're away!

About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay for my dream wedding! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, 2 cats, a crab, and even a jumping spider, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!

Morgan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby was happy and comfortable when I was away! Morgan stayed in constant communication with me while I was away giving my daily updates on my baby as well as adorable pictures. When I came home my house was exactly as I had left it! I told Morgan to keep my house key as I will definitely be using her again (and soon)!! The peace of mind you gave me was priceless Morgan, thanks again!!

Jessica was great! She was responsive and I loved getting updates and pictures from her when she came to check on my cat Arya. One day she wasn’t able to get in my house because of an issue with my automatic lock and even came back a few hours later because she wanted to make sure she was able to check on Arya. I’ll definitely book with her again next time I go out of town!

About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.

About: I have been around dogs big and small for my whole life. From vet visits, bathing, walking, and playing, I have experienced just about everything that goes into caring for puppies and dogs. I'm enthusiastic about sharing my affection and dedication for dogs with your furry companion, offering exceptional care to alleviate any concerns you might have! I'm currently working part-time as a nanny on the weekdays from about 2-5, and as a waitress on weekends with my schedule varying. I have plenty of time in the mornings and at nights to care for your pets, and am also more than able to provide care on the weekends! When providing care to your pet in your home, I will make sure that there is no possible way for your dog or cat to exit unattended. I will also abide by any rules you have for your companion (crating, feeding times, exercise/play) to keep your pet on its normal routine.

Celeste was communicative, reliable, and flexible when my plane was delayed and I got home later than expected. Two of my dogs are seniors and they can be a little extra work, which Celeste was very kind about. She sent pictures and even mopped the kitchen floor which I was not expecting. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and safe when I camd home. Thank you Celeste!

Elisabeth was excellent with our senior pup Simba! He took a liking to her right away and she was able to maneuver him into his harness and take him up and down the porch steps easily. Quick, communication, reliable, and kind. Will definitely call on Elisabeth in the future!

Meg was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Roscoe! She gave him so much love and attention, and I could tell she really cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was very attentive to both his needs and mine, and I appreciated how flexible she was with the changes in our schedule. I felt at ease knowing Roscoe was in such great hands. Highly recommend Meg!
