“I was super anxious at the thought of leaving the most skittish cat I’ve ever owned alone for more than 24 hours for the first time. My 14 year old cat, Bitsy B, became an only cat in December when her long time companion crossed the rainbow bridge. I knew I had to find a reliable pet sitter and didn’t know where to start. I had pictured a reliable student close to my area and I came across Abigail’s profile and thought she’d be a great fit because in my mind, she was the trustworthy person I was hoping to come across. Before leaving, I was beyond impressed because my cat runs under the bed and hides when anyone new comes in then reappears after they leave. Bit didn’t go under the bed, and she even walked up to Abigail to investigate. That’s never happened so I knew my neurotic cat would be fine. I was probably really difficult to understand because at the time I was packing in a frenzy for a funeral, and I also have a special needs child with a lot of medical equipment and supplies to pack up, and my adult ADHD didn’t help so I felt like I just threw her in a messy house with a bunch of cat food and said “the cat is skittish but she didn’t run from you so you’ll be fine”. I am a very satisfied crazy cat lady and can’t praise Abigail enough for watching my Little Bit of a cat.”

“We had such a great experience with Samira! She took amazing care of our three cats and kept us updated the whole time with lots of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She even went the extra mile to troubleshoot our Litter-Robot and gave it a good cleaning. You can tell she truly cares about the animals she’s taking care of. She was amazing, and we would definitely recommend her and use her again!”

About: I’ve had my own pets for over 40 years. They were my babies and I cared for them as such!! They are my heart’s passion. I’m now a healthy strong retired woman who has loved to help family and friends pet sit their 4 legged babies. So I’m opening myself up to others!! I have a safe place to walk animals by my condo and parents with a beautiful back yard to also take them to adventure. It’s just me in my house so it’s clean, safe, simple sweet and quiet atmosphere.

About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was 13 from walking my neighbors dog while they were away for the day to feeding my best friends snake when she went on a 2 week vacation. There aren’t many animals I dislike and always open to taking care of new animals. I currently work in retail with a varying schedule but always off by 6 pm and every other weekend off. Most days I am in a 9-5 role but there are a few days that I open at 6 am. I am open to dog walking, house sitting at home or dropping in multiple times a day. I have multiple cats. I feed them a both wet food and dry food, scoop their litter boxes at least once a day with a once a week clean. I live in a small place, while I am not able to board I will check on your animal multiples times if needed, make sure they get plenty of enrichment and loves.

About: I’m a new graduate Physician Assistant with some time before starting my new job, and I’d love to spend that time caring for your pets! I’ve been a dog owner for 15 years, caring for my two Shih Tzu/Maltese mixes, and I also have experience caring for my own cat. I’m comfortable with all the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, including walks, feeding, keeping litter boxes clean, and making sure pets get plenty of attention, love, and cuddles. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! As a recent physician assistant graduate, I’m currently in the period of waiting for my professional licensing to be finalized. This gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m also flexible and able to commute to provide care in your home or take your pet for walks and outings. I’d love to use this time to spend more time with animals and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I’m respectful of the home and always make sure the space is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pet is doing well.

About: I take pride in caring for your pet the way you would in your day to day. I have experience with elderly and disabled pets, giving medications, and special diets. I am a student who takes classes online, this makes it easy for me to be there for your pet whenever needed. I spend most of my time at home, or getting in some sort of exercise. This includes walking trails, hiking, or the gym. When taking care of your fur babies, I like to stick to their typical routine. This is for your comfort and theirs! I love playing with animals too so don't be scared if your dog is hyper, I would love having a walking buddy!

“Jessica was great - very communicative, friendly and professional. Five stars!!”

About: Hi, I’m a part-time pet sitter with nearly a decade of experience caring for animals! It all started with my aunt and uncle, whose pets I’ve looked after for almost ten years. Over the years, they’ve had three wonderful dogs and a few guinea pigs, and I’ve loved every moment of caring for them. I also spent large parts of many summers dog sitting for my other aunt and uncle, who had three adorable Maltese pups—I was their go-to pet person whenever they traveled, and I cherished every minute with those sweet little fluffballs. Since then, I’ve become the go-to sitter for trusted friends and family. I regularly dog sit for a friend with two large dogs—I've cared for them three times now—and I’ve also helped her by letting the dogs out and feeding her cats when she’s away. I’ve also looked after my cousin’s two dogs on three separate occasions. As a teacher, I understand the importance of being dependable, attentive, and nurturing. I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every pet I look after. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an extended stay, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. In the past, I have pet sat in the summer but I am currently trying to make this a full time gig! I can stay at your home to make those morning and evening potty breaks a breeze, and during the day, I’ll never be gone for more than 6 hours—because your pet’s comfort is my top priority (and let’s be honest, I miss them too much to stay away any longer!). Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. When I’m in a client’s home, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I prefer working with homes that have a fenced yard to ensure dogs can enjoy outdoor time without the risk of getting loose. I'm comfortable feeding pets, administering medication if needed, and of course—providing plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to keep their routine as consistent and comforting as possible.

“Sydney was fantastic! She was very quick to respond and did a great job taking care of our kitties. We will definitely use her again for any future needs!”

Rebecca M.

“Tim was very communicative and personal. We immediately felt comfortable with him and the dogs loved him. We will use him again!”

Chris R.

“Jenna & Shane are the best! Our "fraidy cat," Luke usually hides from people, and it can take him a while to relax and trust new folks. He LOVED Jenna & Shane. They were patient and attentive and took great care of him. I could see from the photos how happy and relaxed Luke was. Not at all a fraidy cat! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for others for many years. From puppies who are still training to seniors who need lots of extra care. I grew up around dogs and cats in my youth from our beloved Shetland sheepdog who we enjoyed 12 years with to taking in strays and fostering dogs and cats for periods of time. In my adulthood, I’ve raised my mixed breed, Louie, since he was 4 weeks old, and he just turned 7. I look forward to caring for your animals in whatever way is helpful! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time during the week to care for (or just hang out with) your furry friends! In addition, I have most weekends available for pet care from pet sitting at your residence to walks, feeding, etc. For me, pets are family, and that means my top priority is maintaining their safety. From our initial interaction, I want you to feel confident that I will do everything in my power to keep your animals protected and loved. I hope to be an extension of the care and love provided by their owners!

About: Hi! I’m 25 years old and a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry (or feathered!) family member needs a walk, a quick drop-in visit, overnight care, or extended sitting, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I currently have an Australian Shepherd mix and a pet bird, so I’m experienced with both dogs and exotic pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. I’m also experienced and confident in administering medications, whether that means pills, liquid medications, or following specific care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. My friends, family, and previous clients consistently describe me as dependable, compassionate, and attentive. I’m proud to have glowing references from pet owners who trust me to care for their beloved companions, and I work hard to earn that trust with every visit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently available for overnight stays, drop-in visits, dog walking, and other pet care services, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. I can’t wait to give them the same level of care and affection that I give my own! Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, so caring for additional pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I start and end each day caring for my own babies, an aussie mix and a quaker 🦜 making sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and love. Because I’m already committed to a structured pet care routine, I’m able to easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, medication administration, and overnight stays for my clients’ pets. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s an energetic puppy that needs extra playtime, a senior pet requiring medication, or a shy cat that just needs some quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide personalized care that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or simply relaxing together, I remain attentive and patient while ensuring they stay safe at all times. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands.

“Sophie has been excellent. She does drop in visits and overnight stays with my girls. They love her. She is very attentive to them and respectful of my home while I’m away. She communicates very well and I always feel like I know what’s going on with my girls even when I’m traveling. Highly recommend her and I am super grateful to have found someone I trust.”

About: I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. My family had a dog when I was growing up that I helped care for and I’ve loved taking care of pets ever since. I will treat your dog like they’re my own- with so much love, lots of playtime and belly rubs, walks, and snuggles if they like. My schedule is extremely flexible during the week/weekends so I will have time throughout the day to spend with and care for your pet. Your dog is welcome to come stay at my house if we think it’s a good fit. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a spacious yard that your dog can explore and run around. We live right outside of a nice walking neighborhood so if your pet likes to walk, walk we will! I have two friendly pups who love to play that will also be able to keep your pet company. I can crate your dog if that’s part of their routine.
