About: I have 10 years of experience doing pet care and house sitting since college. What I like most about pets is how they can communicate. I like to visit parks around the metro so I am always close by and ready to take care of your pet. I like going to the trail with them or just customizing care for what is best for them. I am available to take care of your pet at your home. I should be able to host pets soon when my fence is completed.

“Tori was absolutely incredible. She provided exceptional care for my pup, ensuring he felt loved and well taken care of during my absence. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for animals truly stood out. I could see how happy my pup was in her presence. Without a doubt, I will be reaching out to her for her services again in the future.”


“Daniel was GREAT while house sitting my golden! Very attentive and sent daily photos and even daily logs. I have already booked Daniel for another stay and will continue to book him in the future.”

About: I have had the privilege to have pet's around me most my Life. I have 25 + years’ experience in caring for pets. In 2020 I was a personal and business assistant to a Lovely older Lady in Loch Lloyd. I also took care of her three dogs a parrot when she went out of town. One of here three poodles was elderly so I cared for him, administering oral medicine and assisted walking with a devise/harness. Our pets are our family; they are our fur babies. What I mean by that is they need our attention to details, structure and consideration to thrive. To adequately understand their needs, and communicate with them they need the consistency and consideration when it comes to caring for them. I would feel blessed and honored to care for your precious pet family when you are unable to do so. ♡ I had dogs most of my life but from 2019 - 2024 I had cats. I was Blessed with KiKi first, a friend of a friend had to rehome her because of the atmosphere she was in with the Dog he had, she would always hide. He had her since she was a kitten. When I got here, she was hesitant to come near me, but once we bonded it was like no other connection I've had. Then, my nephew’s cat had kittens, July 1st 2022. I went and visited them ever couple of days. I had only planned to take one, Lucy, but Oliver was my little dude so I took both. Reluctantly, last year I had to rehome them because I lost my apartment after I went through a tragedy that had me unable to work or function for many months. I vetted people for months, putting my fur babies first. I was able to find all 3 of them a single home to go to. They're with a loving family. I currently do Uber (5☆ still☺️). I have been doing it for almost 3 years . I have a lot of flexibility. Which is also a plus if you needed to be taken to the Airport:) I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I will give them the care outlined by you. I will not and cannot use any devises that could cause them harm IE Prong Collars! But know I will give them the time during the time I am with them to assess their needs. I will give them lots of love. Walks, brushing etc. Also clean up hair and other things as needed.

“We contacted Lilia last minute due to our sitter backing out. She was so helpful and nice. Our big pup is a special case and needs daily medication. Lilia not only gave him his meds, she worked with him on his manners. She kept us informed about our fur babies and quite has been the best sitter we’ve had for the boys! She sent us a ton of pictures! What fur parent doesn’t love that!? 5 out of 5 stars easily!”

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and other small dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to walk anytime. I try to get out in the fresh air daily as needed. So excited! I have a friendly, lovable dog that will keep you fur baby company. I also will make sure the pet is well feed. I can easily crate if needed.

“Stella exceeded our expectations and did amazing caring for our dogs! She will definitely become our go-to dog sitter when we need her! Thanks for loving on our pups for us 😊”


About: We have over 15 years of pet care experience. I have cared for large and small dogs as well as cats and other pets. Your pet will be loved and cared for. I work from home. Dogs will be out of the kennel unless we are out of the home. They will be allowed to roam free and play with our dogs. We have a very large fenced yard (1/4 acre) and the dogs will get tons out outside play everyday. Dogs sleep together at night in our living room. They are not kenneled unless that is what you prefer. We have two dogs (a lab and a Labradoodle) They are very loving and welcoming of other dogs. Our pets have free roam of our home and yard. We do not have a stringent schedule. We do have at least one long play sessions per day and typically two. I have two friendly dogs that have been socialized since puppies. They are not fixed so we cannot host unneutered males. I have a very large fenced backyard and we have two cats that love dogs. The cats have a separate living area if your dog does not do well with cats.

About: I have experience bathing, nail clipping and file, ear cleaning, teeth brushing will work on habits to make being a pet owner easier for you! Call or message to see availability mostly available, I am not currently employed so day times are available to you whenever you need, feeding, walking and break times can be adjusted to your schedule. I care for pets in a relaxed no strees environment, where your pet can be happy and doesn't feel scared. My dog is a playfully non aggressive neutered Male Yorkshire Terrior to help your pet feel comfortable

“Faye was terrific!”

“Pat stayed at my house and took care of my baby. She kept me up to date on Axel, sent pictures and he was a very happy camper when I got home.”


About: I love dogs like they are my best friend because they are the most loving, loyal creatures I’ve ever met on this planet! They make me so happy always! I have an hour lunch during the week and weekends are usually free! If I commit to watching a dog for several days in a row such as staying at their home, I make sure they are well taken care of cuz that’s really all that matters. They get all my love and attention! I have a pet friendly apartment but much rather take care of them at their own home as it’s likely more familiar/comfortable for them and convenient as well as more space lol (I live in a studio apt so not much space)

About: while I don't have much experience caring for other pets aside from my own, I do occasionally care for family members pets. I myself have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever and a 4-year-old German Shepherd that are very friendly and well trained by myself so as you can tell I'm not afraid of a challenge so if you're looking for someone to care for your fur babies at times you can't please reach out. I'm currently working a prn job which leaves me with plenty of time to care for my pets so with this free time I'm looking to also help others care for theirs as well. I have a fenced in yard with two very playful dogs along with lots of room inside for downtime along with a crate if needed
