About: I specialize in helping anxious pets feel safe and comfortable, taking the time to earn their trust. I’ve hand-fed pets when needed and always adapt to their routine to ensure they feel at ease. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I am currently a college student and focusing on my academics. In the summers I have a part time job and before college I was always working as I started my first job at 14! I love pets and am hoping to be able to make some cash while having fun caring for animals as its not an added stress on top of school. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize sticking to their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I take the time to understand their needs, whether it’s feeding, walks, medication, or extra reassurance for anxious pets. I ensure their safety and keeping the home tidy. My goal is to make each pet feel at ease by offering patience, attentiveness, and plenty of care while respecting their space and routine.
“Trisha came in daily for an hour and cared for our two cats. She is conscientious about assuring they are well cared for as well as watering plants, etc. When we returned, our home was as we left it, cats were happy and plants healthy. Trisha will correspond daily if asked to. We are pleased with the service Trisha provided and felt like she went above and beyond just caring for our cats.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was in college. I have experience in small pets, fish, reptiles, dogs and cats. I know how to administer medication including giving injections, and I can do basic grooming. I work full-time for as a professional driver but look after pets on my weekends since I tend to be a homebody! I'm also open to checking on pets during the week and doing the occasional walk. I have a fenced in yard that is suitable for small dogs and large dogs with plenty of space to run! My house is dog and cat proofed as well.
“Beckett did an amazing job caring for 6 of my pets while I was away for a wedding. They kept me updated the entire time and took special care of a sick senior pet. I came home to happy, well cared for critters, which is the best way to end a trip! Would definitely book with them again and so grateful for the care and attention provided in my home.”
“I cannot recommend Brie enough! She was amazing to work with and made me feel so at ease going on vacation and leaving her with my furbabies!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember, whether it was feeding, walking, and bathing dogs. I’ve always loved cats. Some even call me the cat whisperer. I currently work 1st shift 7:00am to 3:30pm every weekday, and have a second job working 5-9 depends on what day of the week I work. Majority of my weekends are free. My cats are very spoiled. They have many toys and get treat’s every morning and on Sunday’s get a special diner. I play with them every night before bed. I do prefer to be paid by venmo or cash.
“Amanda was kind, a true pet lover, and very timely. She was patient with my cat who is a little more timid, and seemed to bond with the more spunky one! She opened the door and let them on our porch for fresh air, just as I had recommended. Amanda sent great updates on the app and I loved the photos. It seems like she cared and wanted them to be comfortable. Thank you, Amanda!”
About: I have been talking care of pets my whole life, I have had both cats and dogs and love them both!I have grown up with big St. Bernard’s and small Morkie’s so i know how to handle all sizes! I also love cats more than anything and have 2 of my own! I am Currently a Senior in high school so I will have plenty of time in the afternoons to spend time with your pet. I love walks and being active in my afternoons if that’s what they need! I love finding time to be active outside and it’s even better when there is a furry friend to be active and go on walks with! I also enjoy winding down with a pet by my side, giving them love and attention when want it!
“Erin is awesome! Very responsive and reliable. I am a repeat customer! 5 stars!”
About: My wife and I have had a dog for several years together and recently had to unfortunately put her down. We’re looking to get our puppy fix with your beloved pets! Our sweet girl had some reactivity issues and was on anxiety medication for as long as we can remember so we feel comfortable with any and all dogs! We know how important it was to have people we could trust to watch her when we were out of town so we just want to pay it forward! Feel free to reach out with questions, we’d love to meet your precious pets! ❤️ My wife works a somewhat flexible schedule which could allow her to be available for walks or drop-in visits later in the day. We’re also around on weekends! We’d love to try to accommodate whatever schedule you’re looking for! My wife and I do not have children, no other pets in the home, and have a fenced in backyard. We do not have a crate but are familiar with crate trained dogs and can follow your preferred instructions in terms of safety!
“Maddie took excellent care of my babies! Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates someone who will give attention to the smallest details. She will take care of your pets as if they are her own.”
