“Claudia did an amazing job taking care of our three cats while we were on vacation! They were clearly well-cared for (barely cared when we came back 😁), and Claudia even made sure to clean up after them even though she really didn't have to. Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who's anxious about leaving their temperamental cats alone!”

About: I have been taking care and watching my own dog Millie for nearly a decade. I frequently walk, watch, and house sit for family and friends during the holidays. From puppies to older dogs I have experienced care with giving dogs medicine including diabetic shots. I love dogs and am passionate about taking care of them and making sure they are the happiest they can be. I’m currently in between jobs and looking for work so I am available any time during the week or weekend. I am currently dog walking for one client every week day around noon so outside of that I am available whenever needed! I frequently walk my own dog at home as well as feed them breakfast and dinner. I have dealt with many different breeds and types of dogs and can adapt to any station.
“Gabrielle has consistently been so wonderful with our dog and cat! We're so thankful for how well she cares for them and communicates with us. We absolutely recommend her!!”


About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.
“Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.”

I put 100% effort in everything I do and it's easy when you enjoy what you're doing. My other endeavors are real estate related. I'm a licensed agent and property manager. I'm currently in charge of my own schedule with my other pursuits, so I have flexibility to coordinate pet care in a manner that is convenient for you.

It shouldn't go unsaid even when your pets encounter someone new they should feel a familiar affection.
About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!

“We have never left our dogs with someone before/had someone come over to do drop ins for our dogs, so I was hesitant on trusting a stranger. But at the meet and greet, I knew Sarah was going to be awesome! She was thorough with her questions, got a great understanding of the dogs, even asked questions I didn't think of! I felt our home and dogs were safe with her the entire weekend. She gained our trust instantly (which is not something that happens often)! The dogs loved her and had the best time with her!?”
About: As a vet tech with the goal of being a Veterinarian I have years of experience, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have worked with a wide range of animals, from high-energy puppies requiring extra playtime and positive reinforcement to senior pets needing gentle care, medication management, and mobility support. My expertise extends to administering medications, monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health, and handling pets with anxiety or special needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to quickly recognize signs of illness or distress, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, or providing extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care. I am free most, if not all, weekends, which gives me plenty of time whether it’s for drop-in visits, extended stays, or overnight care. During the week, I may also have availability depending on my schedule, making it easier to accommodate pet care needs, including last-minute requests. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s regular routine to minimize stress, ensuring they receive familiar care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I’m diligent about securing the home, keeping dangerous items out of reach, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. If pets stay in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of enrichment and supervision to keep them safe and happy. I also create a calm, low-stress environment to help pets adjust and feel at ease. Communication is key so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are in loving hands.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and I treat every dog like they're my own! I have experience with dogs ranging from 15-70 lbs. I also have my own pitbull, Willow, who has dog aggression, so I have no issue working with all kinds of behaviors. I am currently looking for a full time job, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pet(s). I can do house visits and walks at any time of the day! I have worked with pups in an apartment and home with a backyard setting, so any enviornment that is comfortable with them is comfortable with me.
“Rima provided exceptional care for Lovey, my cat, during her pet sitting services. Lovey was in great hands, and Rima's communication with me was fantastic throughout. I highly recommend Rima to anyone seeking reliable and attentive pet sitting services. I will be using her again in the future. Thank you Rima!!”

“Becky was a fantastic sitter for our cat, Lucy. While we were out of town for a few days, she stopped by on a daily basis to keep Lucy happy by feeding and playing with her, and made sure we were kept up to date through pictures and updates. Seeing that Lucy was happy and playing really helped to ease my worries about leaving her and made me excited to see her again! Becky was also very communicative with us about our plans and how she could help make things easier. Next time we go on a trip we will definitely be hiring Becky again!”
