About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats. I am very gentle, compassionate, and give great pet back scratches! I currently work as a social worker and my schedule is very flexible. This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet. In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)

About: I have always had a connection to animals, and I believe they require more love, attention, and exercise than most of us can squeeze in a day.

About: I have loved animals all my life. I think they really are a part of a family, and they deserve to be absolutely spoiled and shown all the love they can take I am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule.

About: From the first moments I could remember, I have always been around and caring for dogs and cats.

I take a gentle and intuitive approach with animals, focusing on positive reinforcement. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. If staying at your home, I will never be gone for more than 8 hrs at a time. Weekends are usually no issue to schedule around either While staying at your home, I stick to the routine you have developed with your pets to make it as stress-free as possible. I recognize the importance of structure with dogs and cats, and losing that while their humans are away can be a big stressor. I will do my best to act as an extension of you while you are away to ensure the most personalized care.

About: Hi there! I'm a graduate student working toward my PsyD in Clinical Psychology, and I'm looking to earn a little extra doing something I truly love — caring for animals. I grew up raising my parents' Chihuahua mostly on my own, and if you've ever met a Chihuahua, you know they can be quite the character! Thanks to that experience, I’m very comfortable reading a dog's body language and adjusting my approach to help them feel safe and understood. At this point, I’m confident I can connect with any dog — and all of my experiences so far have only strengthened that belief. I hope you can appreciate my sense of humor and passion for animals, and I’d love the opportunity to meet (and care for) your furry friend! Since I'm currently in graduate school, my class schedule changes every few weeks. I'll make sure to keep my availability updated regularly and be open and honest about any changes. As of right now, I don't have classes, but during the summer, I'lI have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each animal's needs. I follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and preferred activities. I also make sure to spend plenty of quality time with your pet, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with lots of supervision and attention. If I’m caring for them in your home, I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible to reduce stress — including maintaining familiar smells, spaces, and schedules. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away!

Grace B.
“I’m writing to wholeheartedly recommend Grace as a pet sitter and dog walker. She has looked after my dog, Jack, on several occasions, and every time he sees her, he lights up with excitement. It’s clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a calming, caring presence that pets naturally respond to. Grace is kind, gentle, and incredibly reliable. I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing Jack was in her care. Whether it was for a short walk or an overnight stay, she consistently went above and beyond to ensure he was safe, comfortable, and well-loved.

Christina G.
“Christina adores her orange tabby kitty. He’s enjoyed living with her for an amazing fifteen and a half years so far. Since he’s geriatric with a few health issues, Christina ensures he gets his daily medicine, keeps him well hydrated and fed, and makes sure he has plenty of toys to play with and cozy spots to relax in. As much as she would like more animals, she knows her cats personality well enough to know he would be happiest in a single pet home. Christina has watched my two cats while I’ve gone on vacations before. Each time, I’ve had no issues. The litter boxes were clean, she fed them as directed (I had very specific instructions since my one cat had kidney disease, was on a prescription diet, and liked his food warmed up with a little water mixed in), and she always sent me pictures and videos since she knew I missed them so much. You can trust your fur babies with her!”
