About: I work a steady 9–5 on weekdays and have weekends free, allowing me to offer reliable and consistent pet care. With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.
“Jennifer is a amazing animal carer she was very patient and loving with my cats and they can be a handful as they been heavily spoiled. She communicated everything I needed to know about my boys and made me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to book her again.”
“Matthew has been a fabulous friend to my Lara, who has been going through the heartbreak of losing a canine companion and needs extra TLC (along with the occasional pee break). He has been reliable and wonderful to have as a part of her emotional support team (and will soon be the same for a new puppy!)”
“Marlee is very friendly and reliable. I liked that she was very communicative through the entire process. She dropped in on my cat, Majik, a few times while we were away on vacation. Although, Majik is very skittish and would hide away during the times Marlee dropped in, she made sure Majik was fed and that her litter was clean, which is what I needed her help to do. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

“Diane is very nice and she did a great job with Winston. She is very knowledgeable about both dogs and cats. I knew he was in good hands with Diane. When I arrived Winston was happy and content. Thank you Diane!”
“Panda and Panther enthusiastically endorsed Jillian when I came home. They said their food bowls were filled to the brim and their water was cool and refreshed daily. But what really impressed them was her relaxed and gentle way with them. They said she was a cat whisperer! Thanks, Jillian!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth and my mom always says my true calling was being a veterinarian. From dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds, geckos, you name it, I’ve raised them. I currently am a mom to 2 rescue cats who are both 7 years old. I would love to adopt a dog again but with my cats it would be impossible so I would love the opportunity to interact with puppies/dogs again! I currently work full time 9-6 Monday through Thursday so I am free anytime after 6pm Monday-Thursdays. I am also free on Friday mornings before 1pm! Both of the cats in my home roam freely therefore I unfortunately would not be able to do any pet sitting inside of my home.

“Kate is honest, trustworthy and responsive when it comes to dropping in to walk my dog. My energetic Jack Russell Terrier seems to absolutely adore her. 🐶 She has watched my pup twice while on vacation and couldn’t ask for a better person.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life and now I also work with kids. I was lucky enough to grow up with two dogs which gave me a lot of experience on how to take care of them. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I love them more than humans. Also, having spent so much time with dogs made me learn how to redirect certain behaviors, which is a plus that your dog will learn while we walk. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon :) *I am fluent in English and Spanish* I work part-time in the afternoons and I study from home. So I have a lot of flexibility in terms of hours. If you want me to petsit at your place I won’t be out for more than 3-4 hours. I will follow instructions and pet routine. I’ll send you daily photos/videos. I also have experience giving medicines if needed. I can water your plants.
About: I have taken care of all dogs in every size, every age, and every personality for 8 years☺️ I have loved dogs since I was a child and will continue to forever love them through care and experience ❤️ I'm currently doing remote work so doing dog walking and feeding would be easy and fun for me to do. I'm available in both weekdays and weekends if need be 😊 I have a fenced yard with dog friendly fur babies and plenty of space, toys, water, and any other accommodations. I am also mindful to any medication needed for any necessary special care.

Agustina R.
“Agustina is an excellent sitter! I had just moved to the area, and she sweetly even gave me some tips and suggestions of local places to visit. My cat, Olivegg, took to her right away, and Agustina was generous with photos of Olivegg while I was gone. I even had a last minute travel emergency after a flight was canceled, and had to extend my trip - Agustina was unfazed and able to continue to care for Olivegg until I was able to get home a couple days later than expected. When I came back, Olivegg was happy, well-fed, and relaxed. The next time I had a trip come up, I immediately reached out to Agustina to see if she was available. Highly recommend!”
