About: Over the course of six rewarding months, I've had the privilege of serving as a trusted pet sitter for a dear friend's cherished canine companion. My daily routine has revolved around providing exceptional care, ensuring the dog's well-being and happiness. This includes two daily outings filled with adventure and exercise, fostering a healthy and active lifestyle. Beyond the walks, I've cultivated an environment of love, play, and unwavering companionship. Witnessing the sheer joy and fulfillment that dogs bring into our lives has been a truly heartwarming experience. As I embark on this journey as a dog walker and sitter, my commitment to delivering the same level of dedicated care to other canine companions is unwavering. As a dedicated student, I have structured my pet care responsibilities into my daily and weekly routine to ensure a balanced and nurturing environment for my furry friend. Each morning and evening, I allocate specific time slots for walks, playtime, and feeding, allowing me to meet my academic commitments while still providing attentive care. On weekends, I have more flexibility to engage in longer activities and outings, reinforcing the bond with my pet. My commitment to pet care aligns seamlessly with my student life, as it brings structure, joy, and companionship to my daily routine, enriching both my academic pursuits and personal life. Certainly, the way I care for pets will vary depending on whether I'm providing services in my own home or the client's home. In my home: - I create a safe and pet-friendly environment. - Establish a consistent daily routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime. - Prioritize regular walks and outdoor activities. - Provide affection and one-on-one attention. - Administer any required medications or follow specific health routines. - Maintain open communication with pet owners and provide updates on their pets' well-being. In the client's home: - Conduct a meet and greet to understand the pets' routines and preferences. - Strictly follow the owner's instructions for feeding, medication, and care. - Maintain a consistent routine to minimize stress for the pets. - Provide regular updates and photos to the pet owners. - Ensure the security and safety of the client's home. - Be prepared for emergencies, with a plan for veterinary care if needed. This way, I tailor my pet care services to the specific needs and preferences of the pets and their owners, whether in my own home or the client's home.
About: I love animals! I’ve had pets my entire life and have regularly cared for so many different pets for friends, family, and others. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs, including administering medication, supporting senior pets, managing physical ailments, and following specific food restrictions. I understand how important it is to feel confident your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. When I travel, I want that same peace of mind for my own cats, and I strive to provide that same level of care, safety, and security to every pet I look after. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work a flexible schedule with a mix of in-office and work-from-home days. On days I work from home, I’m available in the mornings and throughout the day, and I can bring my laptop with me if needed. On in-office days, I’m happy to stop by before work and again after, and if a pet requires extra care or visits, I can often adjust my schedule or leave work early. As long as I have some advance notice, I’m able to plan ahead and make sure each pet receives consistent, attentive care. I offer in-home pet sitting, so I come to your home where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication, litter box care, playtime, walks (if applicable), and plenty of affection. I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions or preferences and adjust my care to meet your pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care that helps your pet feel safe and stress-free while you’re away.
“Randona was amazing with my boyz. They were so relaxed when I got home, made me feel not quite so bad for leaving them. Randona is a great communicator & sent me daily reports with pics. I will definitely recommend Randona to my friends & I will definitely use her again when I go away next March. She was a real 5 star find!”
About: I’ve had pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was 2 years old. Since I was 9 I’ve been looking after other people pets as well. I currently have a Burnese mountain dog and golden retriever cross. She’s the sweetest thing in the world, and I walk her at least twice a day, feed her, and make sure she gets the play time and attention she deserves. I have the availability to give pets the attention, time, and care that they need in order to be happy and content. All pets need a little bit of playtime, love, and intentionality.
“Antaress was amazing with our puppy , she was punctual and professional. Completed all the tasks of walking and feeding our pup and submitted progress photos for our peace of mind while we were at work. She was trustworthy and respectful to our home and we would definitely request her services in the future!”
“Shadnay has done a great job with my black lab! Very punctual and caring towards my boy. As we all know dogs thrive on routine and Shadnay shows up at almost exactly the same time everyday. My dog came down with a cough and could no longer attend daycare for awhile. Shadnay jumped right in and made a very stressful situation for me much easier ! Will most definitely use her services again ! Thanks Shadnay!”
“Riley was super professional and the dogs loved her. Gucci is really nervous around new people and he was already looking for her after she left. I highly recommend her with your dogs.”
“Sarah is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for dogs. She made me feel so comfortable leaving our fur-girl in her care. During the walk, Sarah took plenty of pictures, which really reassured me that my pup was in great hands. I will definitely reach out to Sarah again when things get busy and I can’t make time for walks myself. Highly recommended!”
“Hilary is amazing with your fur babies. She made me feel at ease each day with pictures and notes. She is easy to deal with and listens to instructions. Highly recommend 👌”
About: I have a deep love for animals and for treating them with love and respect. I am patient, kind, and fun. Growing up, we had many kittens and puppies that we raised and nurtured to be fine adult cats and dogs. I’m currently transitioning from a high pressure corporate career to a more relaxed and peaceful phase and have lots of time available for pet sitting, walking and checking in. I’m available most days and evenings, including weekends. I can care for pets in their homes, I am conscientious of what pet parents require. I appreciate clear communication. I’m also happy to care for elderly pets or those who require special attention.
“Many thanks to Vivian for agreeing to do a drop-in on a short notice. She kept me updated with messages and photos as usual. Vivian also put my computer cables away from the kitties-much appreciated! I’m very happy with the service and attention to detail. I’ll continue to use Vivian’s petsitting service in the future.”
“I recently booked Darlee to care for my newly diagnosed diabetic cat, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She showed genuine care and took the time to understand my cat's specific needs, including monitoring her insulin levels and diet. Her patience and experience with pets, especially those with medical conditions, were evident. Darlee provided regular updates, ensuring I was informed about my cat's well-being. Both me and my husband highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and knowledgeable pet sitter. Thank you, Darlee for your outstanding care!”

Hilary has been fantastic every time that I use her for cat sitting. She always puts my mind at ease. And I had to extend my time, and she was more than willing to keep looking after the cats even with short notice. She's always thorough in all the instructions
Jenny did a great job looking after my two cats. She communicated very well, letting me know when she was on her way and updating me with photos. She was also really helpful in explaining the app before booking with her. She is responsible and dependable. I would recommend her and will hire her again in the future! Thanks, Jenny
