Pet Sitting Csus

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.

“Tessa was all we had hoped for to our 16 year old dog. He loved her from the start and she was intuitive and patient with him and his various older dog issues. She’s really easy to plan with and we hope she will help take care of him when we can’t for the rest of his life.”

About: Pet sitter since 2017. I love animals and always had a cat in the house growing up. I was nomadic in my 20s and started taking care of my friends’ pets to get my cuddle fix. I am still pet free and full of love to share with your special friends. My experience is mostly with dogs and cats but also goats, birds, fishes, chickens, and a chinchilla. I am open to caring for all animals except horses since I do not have equine experience. I am also skilled at organizing, housecleaning, & gardening. I would be happy to add these services to pet sitting if needed. I am currently fully available to care for your pets. I have time to give them all the love they need so they are less sad to have you away. I love getting to know your pet’s temperament and interests. In addition to feeding and walking, I enjoy cuddling or playing with whoever I am caring for (the ones that like cuddles- I promise to leave fish in their tank!). I can easily bathe small to midsize animals while you are away for long periods and I am very responsible when it comes to medications. When possible, I like to take dogs out on fun excursions or to new places. If high energy, I prefer a safe area nearby to let them run or chase frisbees. Please let me know what needs your pet has!

“Liz is EXCEPTIONAL!!! ฅ^>⩊<^ฅ She is communicative, attentive and extremely thorough. Liz followed all the instructions provided and sent thoughtful updates and a ton of adorable pictures each visit. She treated my babies like her own and even had the magic to woo my extremely shy kitty, Cookie, out of hiding!! Momo and Cookie give Liz 10/10 mousies—highly recommend!!!”

About: I have had dogs and cats the majority of my life. I have raised three litters of Labrador puppies and that was one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done. I currently have all ages of pets in my home. I have a senior boy, a middle-aged man and a five month old puppy. I’m an avid dog sport enthusiast, and dock diving is our world. I have spent years learning training techniques and how to understand dog communication. I own my own small business that I run from home so I am with my dogs all day. We take frequent play and potty breaks in our backyard. I will sometimes visit sniff spots and pools for extra enrichment. Walks around the neighborhood almost daily and of course, lots of snuggle time on the couch. I have a nice sized fenced backyard with plenty of room for everyone to play. We can have group play or accommodate individual play time. I have crates available if needed for some decompression time. I believe both physical and mental enrichment are a big part of happy dogs! I have licky mats, pupsicles and other food puzzles available. My dogs are allowed on my furniture and the bed and with your permission, your dogs would also be allowed on furniture. My dogs are my world, and my home is maintained for their comfort. I also love to take pictures and will send photo updates as often as you would like.

“Mia was amazing with my dog this past week over Thanksgiving. She gave very specific updates and was always on time. She also followed all the little instructions in order to keep my dogs routine the same while being gone. I would strongly recommend her to anyone!”

About: After retiring from 30+ years of working for government and non-profit organizations, I volunteered at Homeward Bound (golden retriever rescue) and started petsitting for many neighbors and friends. I now enjoy petsitting for other people’s pets also while I am not hiking swimming, traveling or making things in my garage workshop. I am married without kids and do not smoke or drink alcohol. I have a flexible schedule to visit daily or stay at your home. I enjoy cats and dogs and am particularly proud that so many of them like me back! While I cannot have your pet at my home, I have a flexible schedule to either visit or stay at your home to care for your pet.

“Would recommend Taviana to absolutely everyone. She was so good with my cats and they loved her. She was punctual and even went above and beyond to get my Frankie a toy to celebrate his birthday. We will definitely be booking her every time we go out of town!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have my own cat, Button, whom I love dearly and have taken care of pets for my friends lately. I am in between jobs so I am free to work with whatever schedule you have. If you have leftover food that needs to be used, I’d be happy to not let them go to waste. I prefer to care for your pets in their home territory. I am very easy going and happy to follow any instructions you have for me.

About: Not only have I grown up with large dogs for the past 23 years, but I have also consistently pet sat for families in need of a loving and reliable sitter. I’m the type of person who has to stop and say hello to every dog I see, so caring for furry friends is something that comes naturally to me! I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Although I do not train animals, I do have experience in providing oral medication as well as walks, feeding, and love! I’m currently in a transition period and taking a gap year, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting! While my schedule varies, I have a very open and adaptable availability and can often accommodate different scheduling needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for according to your instructions. I also treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own!

About: Hello! Thank you for your trust and for taking the time to read my profile. I have grown up around pets of all kinds and have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, temperaments and breeds. I have been using Trusted Housesitters for the past two years to care for pets as an exchange for staying in others homes, receiving an average rating of 5 stars for over 13 visits across the US - see attached pictures for a few testimonies :) I believe I am a great sitter for the time, energy, and love I put into every pet I have cared for - I feel immensely grateful that so many people have continued to trust me with their pets, and have allowed me the joy of spending time with their animals. I am responsible, compassionate, and communicative - it is incredibly important to me that everyone is comfortable and happy while also respecting any requests or boundaries that the owner has in place. When I am not spending time with others beloved pets, I work in public health as an Occupational Health manager, supporting our workers and advocating for more protective measures for these populations. Additionally, purchased a Sprintervan back in 2022 (named Danger O'shea;) that I have had converted into a mini-home, which I use for both pleasure and business, renting it out whenever possible. Working remotely makes it easy for me to have flexibility throughout my day and allows me the opportunity to take breaks as needed to give your pet scratches, cuddles, and to go on ample walks/hikes as needed. I live in a home with a fenced in backyard and in close proximity to many parks, lakes, and trails. I love taking pets on excursions whenever I can (with owner approval), especially for those more active animals who need to burn off some extra energy :)

“Jessica was incredible! Our kitties loved her. She was responsive, responsible, and truly a joy to meet. I frankly think our cats were slightly disappointed that it wasn’t jessica walking through the door on the day we came back! We had a bit of snafu with our litter robot and Jessica helped us trouble shoot with ease and grace. Would highly recommend!”

“Debbie provided exceptional service and was amazing with our kitties. We loved getting the detailed daily reports and photos which helped put our minds at ease while we were away. Would highly recommend Debbie.”

About: Insanely communicative (sometimes too much?). I am not afraid to ask questions to ensure I respect your home and take care of your pets. I have taken care of blind pets, pets that require chemo medication, some may say bipolar cats.. a variety. Nothing a little bit of love wouldn’t deal.. happy to keep doing it! I work 9-5 Monday- Friday so potty breaks are hard unless your pet can go 8+ hours. For this reason, cats are a little easier, but dogs I can do on the weekends no problem! I play with my cat on a daily. I also go home to my parents house and stay there to watch their three dogs and care for them.

“I could not recommend Larisa enough! We're expecting a little one in July and our dog has been a little more clingy than usual so knowing we'd be gone for 10+ hours we figured to try a babysitter to stop in halfway to check in. She went the extra mile to make sure our dog was loved and not feeling abandoned, playing with her outside, giving her lots of pets, feeding her and spending a little more time with her. You can tell our dog, Renlee, loved and trusted her right away.”

Cynthia T.

“Doh is incredibly sweet, trustworthy, and reliable. She communicates promptly, provides thoughtful updates and advice, and genuinely cares about our pet’s well-being. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. We highly recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Sabrina — a dog sitter and walker with a big heart and lots of experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I regularly care for two large female German Shepherds who keep me active with their daily walks, feeding routines, and plenty of love. I also dogsit a German Shepherd/Rottweiler puppy, so I’m no stranger to puppy energy, training consistency, and playtime. I also spend time with a sweet (and sometimes wild!) female German Shepherd/Husky mix, so I’m very comfortable with strong, intelligent breeds who need both structure and affection. On the smaller side, I’m familiar with a very hyper — and occasionally a bit spicy — terrier mix. Because of that, I’m patient, calm, and confident with pups who need a gentle, understanding approach. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, vocal, strong, or just needs someone who truly “gets” them, I’m here to help. I love making every pup feel safe, happy, and understood. I’d be honored to give your dog walks, company, and lots of care while you’re away! 🐾💛 I currently work part time and a part time wrestler. So i’m usually available early weekend morning. During the week I am available for early afternoon walks/sitting or early/late evenings. With the occasional late night house sittings as well. I have my dogs crate trained. They are on a set schedule so usually when i wake up they get fed, and taken outside and are able to wander around until i leave. Then upon arrival I usually feed them and take them outside and get them a bit of exercise and enrichment! For my clients home, I do like to stick to the schedule the dog is used to just so the owner isn’t inconvenienced with a fussy/sad dog when they are no longer in my care. I still like to enrich the pets with food mazes or toys that require a bit more thinking power!

About: 🐾 About Me Hi, I’m Joel — a lifelong animal lover and experienced sitter dedicated to making your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

Whether it’s a last-minute booking or a month-long house sit, I show up 100% — on time, fully present, and ready to follow every detail of your routine. I’m known for being attentive, respectful, and adaptable, especially when it comes to special requests like medication schedules or keeping things tidy at home. From shy cats to big lovable dogs, my goal is to keep your pets relaxed, entertained, and well cared for — so you can travel with peace of mind. 🐶 What Sets Me Apart • Veteran Pet Sitter — Trusted for repeat stays by multiple families • Detailed & Flexible — I follow your instructions to a T, and I’m calm and creative when things don’t go exactly as planned • Respectful Guest — I leave your home clean and cared for, always treating your space as if it were my own • Great Communicator — I send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how things are going • Loved by Pets — I’ve been called “our go-to guy,” and “part of the family” — and dogs practically jump into my arms when they see me again If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and experienced — someone who takes the responsibility of pet care seriously while still making it fun — I’d love to connect. Let’s make sure your pets (and your home) are in the best hands while you’re away. I’m very flexible and available most days, including weekends and holidays. If I’m not already booked, I’m in! Feel free to reach out — I respond quickly. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment.

About: Hi, I'm Melissa, your pet's new BFF! For five years, I’ve cared for animals who rely on routine, patience, and a calm, attentive person. As a foster with Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary, I looked after 50+ cats, including medical cases, and I bring the same reliability to dogs. I’m happy to do walks, feedings, and check-ins for friendly, easygoing pups, and I’ll send photo updates so you know how it went. Pet care is already built into my day. My two cats eat at the same times three times a day, have playtime twice a day, and get meds morning and evening, so I’m a big believer in consistent routines. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can fit visits in any time of day, whether that’s early-morning meds, a midday check-in, or an evening drop-in. Three days notice is ideal, but I’m happy to take last-minute requests too. I’ll do my best to make it work. Before the first visit, I’d love to get to know your pet. I’ll ask about their feeding and play schedules, favorite hiding spots (so I can always get a visual check-in), and their likes and dislikes. I’ll also get your vet info and emergency contact. On a typical drop-in, I’ll take care of food, fresh water, litter scooping, playtime, brushing, and a quick tidy-up. Visits usually run 30 to 60 minutes, and I’m happy to adjust that for cats who need meds or a slow warm-up. I’ll send photos and updates, and I’m happy to track meds and meals however you prefer.
