About: well, one thing that makes me unique is my extensive experience in training puppies. i've worked with a lot of dogs before, so i'm great at handling them and helping them learn new tricks. but wait, there's more! i also have some experience with senior care and can provide personalized care and support for older animals. I have open availability! Just give me a two days notice and a day before if you need to cancel. You can reach me by my phone number. when i'm caring for pets in my own home, i make sure to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. i have all the supplies they need, from food and water bowls to toys and comfortable bedding and when i'm caring for pets in their owner's home, i follow the same guidelines and make sure to respect their space and routine. i also always make sure the pets are comfortable and well-taken care of.

David watched our pup Daphne for nearly two weeks and was the best sitter we've ever had. He was incredibly communicative, sent lots of pictures, and spoiled Daphne. He went above an beyond to make sure she was comfortable while we were gone and to make sure we had peace of mind as well. David is the only person we will book for Daphne. She already misses him!

Andrew is a godsend. We've had him to sit for our Rhodesian ridgeback and our Staffy twice, for 4 days and 10 days, respectively, and we have both times come back to 2 happy and healthy dogs, who looked at us like we had only been gone a short while. They had neither gained stress weight nor become too skinny, and we could tell Andrew had been diligent taking them out frequently. He had mixed in their favorite food toppers and given them their medicine as we asked. He is a kind person, and you can tell he thinks deeply about things, and people's and pets' feelings. He even swept and tidied up, got our mail from our mailbox, and had our packages all neatly inside. He is as the proverb says, a good traveler who leaves no mark, leaving our house exactly as, if not better than, he found it. I can't say enough about the peace of mind Andrew has given us, especially the second time, since we already knew we could trust him. We were able to go to Disney World and have a truly magical time because we knew he was caring for our dogs and our house as we would have done.

Miranda stayed at our home for almost a week and cared for our dogs while we were away. She kept the house tidy, collected our mail, which was appreciated, and replied promptly to our messages, providing text updates throughout the stay. The dogs were comfortable and looked after, and communication was smooth. Overall, she did a solid job and we were happy to have her stay.

I have 4 cats that are dog friendly. They really love playing with small dogs. Finally, hope you and your pet(s) have a very bless day. I'm a full time pet sitter, I do walks during the day and house sitting or boarding afterwards. I try my best to fit your fur baby into my schedule. Meet & greets are mandatory for me.

About: As a professional pet care provider, I had the opportunity to care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals, and share their well-being and happiness while their owners were away. All approached with kindness and empathy, offering comforting cuddles to a nervous cat or patiently working with a high-energy puppy, I prioritize building trust and creating a positive experience for every animal in my care. I am a part-time college student and I attend classes, Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30pm-3pm. When I’m not in school, I like to go on walks and usually stay home, cooking and baking and cleaning. I have lots of free time during the week and on the weekends I currently have an unfenced yard, but plan on fencing in the next year I like to get to know the owner and what rules and priorities they have for their pet. I am very flexible with meeting each owners needs!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child. I’ve cared for and loved my dog Maya for 5 years and my cat Sombra for 7 years. I also have turtles, and in the past I’ve had parrots and chickens. For me, this is not just a job — it’s a passion that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine because I’ve always lived with animals. I make sure they have fresh food and water every day, give them time for walks or play, and check on their well-being. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to cleaning their spaces, grooming if needed, and making sure they feel loved and safe. Unfortunately, my pets are currently in Honduras, but in the future we’ll be reunited. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their routine and make them feel comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, daily exercise or playtime, regular check-ins, and lots of affection. I also keep their space clean and safe, and give them extra attention to reduce stress while their owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel as loved and cared for as they do when their family is home.

I'm so grateful to Niyah for dogsitting my Mouche while I was away for the weekend. She communicated promptly, showed up when she said she would, sent me pictures of Mouche, and left my house in perfect condition. Her calm energy and patience was exactly what my dog needed. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Maria was a wonderful find. My wife and I needed someone last minute, due to a cancellation. We contacted Maria and she was more than willing to assist us. She was absolutely amazing with our two pups. She had no issue(s) with watching our pups at our residence. The pups loved her, the place was immaculate upon our return, and we were very appreciative. My wife and I will definitely continue to use Maria. She has a great personality and is very enjoyable to communicate with. We would strongly recommend Maria to anyone.
