“Julie did great! Max loved the walks and the ball tosses. Sasha is 16 and has trouble walking, taking her medicine and sometimes has accidents and Julie took good care of her, took her for short walks, got her to take her pills most of the time.”

About: I’ve owned pets of all kinds my whole life. I’ve been trusted with taking care of my family and friends’ pets since I was twelve. One of my cats is older than me and has been with me my entire life, so I know very well how to take care of elderly and disabled animals, especially cats. I’ve also taken care of multiple very energetic dogs and I know how to handle their behavior. I’m very open to long play sessions or walks, but if a calm presence is what your pet needs, I am very good at providing that as well. I’m very adaptable. Whatever your pet needs, I am more than willing to do my best to give it. I’m a college student who is busy every afternoon but most mornings and almost every evening and night I am fully available for your pet. I’m completely free on the weekends as well. Understanding the signals pets use to communicate is one of the most important things to me. I value your pet’s safety and to me it is very important to know what they’re trying to say in times of crisis. I also am conscious of things in homes that may be harmful to pets, such as certain herbs, scents, or foods, and I go out of my way to ensure that pets do not make contact with anything that could be dangerous to them. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I want them to be met and for your animal to feel safe and comfortable with me and the environment.

About: As a pre-veterinary student, I provide more than just pet sitting—I bring knowledge, patience, and a genuine passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other small animals through both personal ownership and animal care work. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Aside from occasional appointments and errands, I'm home throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, as I have pets of my own with established care schedules. Adding your pet into that routine allows me to provide consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I always work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household rules so I can provide care that's both safe and consistent. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise interactions. I carefully introduce new situations at each pet's comfort level and never leave animals in unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as directed. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pre-veterinary student, I'm attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or health and won't hesitate to contact you—and, if necessary, seek veterinary care—if I have concerns.

“Kendra took great care of our 3 boys (cats.) She was communicative and shared photos with us during her visit. She was a great help to make sure our boys got wet food, some company, and a clean litter while we were away. Thanks, Kendra! Would rebook and recommend her to anyone needing reliable pet cat care!”

About: I currently work part time as a fulfillment handler for a dog training company. I've had pets all my life, and have a special bond with dogs. I enjoy all animals, and have a dog right now who's a 6 year old beagle mix. I've had a few dogs throughout my life, and had a rescued a pit bull named Sadie who just passed away recently after 8 amazing years, (6 when we got her ❤️). Looking forward to taking care of your kids! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I have availability nightly, and would love to be a help for your pets! I always ensure your pets are safe, secure, and happy when taking care of them. I love being able to help pets relax even when their owners are away.

“Jamieson is excellent with my senior dog and young cats. Hope to hire them again soon.”

About: I have a black lab at home that I love walking and playing with. I would love to care for your dogs through feeding, playing, walking or washing them. I would love to be a dog walker so I can get them and myself some exercise. I have experience feeding and taking dogs out to do their business, and always clean off my dog's feet in carpeted households. I do not have any special training, but I love dogs, and would love the opportunity to meet yours. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time in the afternoons to care for your pets during the weekday, and weekends am wide open! At this time I cannot take on pets at my own home, as there are small children and a senior dog, but I will keep your pets safe in your home according to your guidance.

“So so so glad that we can rely on Kristine over and over again to care for our pets whenever we ask. No one makes it so easy and stress free as Kristine. Thanks for always being so great to my family and for all the times you’ve gone above and beyond for us!”

About: I grew up having multiple dogs at the same time so I am very comfortable around dogs of all kinds. I have a 3 yo, 80 lb Irish wolfhound mix named Cornelius who is the light of my life, so I am experienced in taking care of big dogs that need a lot of exercise and attention. I am flexible with my schedule and my main priority is to give you and your doggo the best experience possible. I love taking care of people and animals in general, which is why I worked as a caregiver for 3 years. I feel that I am a natural caregiver and that this translates into being a great dog-sitter and dog-owner myself. I look forward to getting to know you and yours!

About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, from cats & dogs to cows & horses. I love hanging with dogs of all kinds and genuinely love animals in general. I currently work remotely part time while I focus on coaching lacrosse in the evenings, my schedule is flexible and I am available to take animals out, feed or house sit throughout the day. I have weekends available as well! Unfortunately I am not able to board animals at this time due to my current residence. However this is going to change int he spring!

“We had Amber come and drop in for a few days while we were away for our wedding. We were ak nervous at the thought of being away from our fur baby as we never have left him before. Amber was amazing and sent us a lot of updates with pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!

“Brandy is a sweetheart! Our pups love her.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have cared for them through every stage of life. I raised both of my dogs from puppies. One lived to be 18, and the other was with me for 15 years. I also raised a cat from a kitten who lived to be 16 and adopted an adult cat who stayed with me well into her senior years. Caring for my own pets from their earliest days through their senior years gave me experience with everything from puppy and kitten care, to medications, mobility changes, and noticing the little things that can make a big difference in their comfort and quality of life. Friends and family have always counted on me to care for their pets while they’re away, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of personalities, routines, and medical needs. I know every pet is different, and my goal is to help yours feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday (8-5), but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer several services throughout the week. Dog walks: My favorite service! Available most weekdays early before work, during lunch (for nearby clients), and after work. I’m also available for walks throughout most weekends. House sitting: I have the most flexibility on weekends, but I can also be available for house sitting during the week with advance notice. If you have reliable Wi-Fi and are comfortable with it, I’m able to work remotely from your home so your pet can enjoy extra company while staying in their normal routine. Drop-in visits: Available during weekday lunch breaks for nearby clients, as well as on weekends. If you’re unsure whether your schedule will work with mine, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to see if we can make it work! I believe pets are happiest in their own home, where they can keep their normal routine. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’ll care for your pet and your home with the same respect and attention I’d give my own.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I bring both genuine love and experienced care to every pet I look after. I’ve cared for my own pets for over 10 years and have also provided in-home house sitting for multiple families over a two-year span. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I truly value. I also spent a year working at Camp Bow Wow in 2025, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs in a social daycare setting. This helped me develop strong skills in reading behavior, managing different energy levels and personalities, and ensuring a safe, structured, and enriching environment. I treat every pet like they’re my own by providing attentive, reliable, and personalized care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m a busy mom of four, so I truly understand how important it is to have someone dependable and trustworthy caring for your pets. My schedule is very consistent, and I’m available every weekday evening from 5–8pm for walks or drop-in visits—perfect for dinner time, evening exercise, and settling pets in for the night. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available for house sitting, drop-ins, and walks. This allows me to give pets extra attention, longer visits, and a more relaxed, present level of care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m intentional about showing up on time, being attentive, and making sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. With experience handling a variety of temperaments, I’m confident in reading behavior and ensuring pets stay safe during walks and visits. I’m attentive, reliable, and always follow care instructions closely, from secure leashing to maintaining routines at home. I also know how important peace of mind is, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you connected and reassured while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of friends, neighbors, family and client's pets for over 3 years and love every minute of it. Growing up my I have been around animals all my life and learned to take care of cats, to dogs, all the way to horses. I am very attentive with certain needed medications your pet may need as well as being patient with any nervous nelly pets that come my way. I am currently working part-time at home, so this allows me to give lots of attention to your fury-loved ones. I also have two friendly and well-behaved king Charles at home who love when new friends come over. My weekly schedule is very open so you can rest assure your pet will be well taken care of. I currently live in a fourplex that has a fenced yard where your pet will be freely to roam around in the well-kept garden with frequent walks throughout the day. My house is always clean, with fresh water laying around at the pet's convenience.

“I was floored by how attentive and engaged Jessica was with our two elderly kitties. She took extra time to earn their trust, and after a week in her care they were utterly devoted. One of the two particularly suffers when I’m absent for extended periods, and she took extra care with him. Her daily updates were informative and gave me clear indication of whether she was concerned/ not concerned for the small issues that cropped up (furballs and etc). She has my highest recommendation!”

About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and a true animal lover :) I have provided caring and compassionate pet care for the cats and dogs of my friends, family members and neighbors for several years. Previously, I have worked for a dog-walking agency and have received formal First Aid training in pet care. My work schedule varies day to day, which means our schedule will depend on the day and the service being provided. When I am working from home, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, tons of play time and scheduled feedings as requested by the humans! If you and pup are interested in long walks and/or outside time, we will make it happen! If your dog is more chill and laid-back, I can provide attentive and gentle care, and relaxation time. I am happy to crate your puppy/dog if requested. For cat owners, I am very cautious moving in and out of an individual’s home - I know from experience that sometimes they try to sneak out the door to explore! I believe a primary component of building trust with a client is consistent communication, so I prioritize keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day.
