About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I naturally connect with animals, even the shy or anxious ones, because I’m calm, patient, and pay attention to their body language. Whether it’s high-energy play or quiet companionship, I adjust to what they need. I have experience with: • Senior pets (slow walks, meds, joint care) • Giving oral medications and maintaining routines • Creating a low-stress, loving environment while you’re away More than just walking or feeding, I focus on building trust so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. You’ll always get updates and honest communication from me, so you can fully relax. As a nursing student with an active lifestyle, pet care is a grounding and joyful part of my week. Walks with dogs keep me moving, and quiet time with cats helps relieve stress from my studies. I’m organized, reliable, and love incorporating feeding, playtime, and even litter box duties into my routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it genuinely helps me recharge and stay balanced. I care for pets like they’re my own, whether I’m in my home or yours. For house sitting, I keep routines consistent—feeding, walks, meds, and lots of love—while also respecting and maintaining your space. During walks or drop-ins, I focus on quality time: bathroom breaks, play, meals, and anything your pet needs to feel secure and seen. For cats, I clean litter boxes daily, monitor their behavior, and offer attention on their terms—whether that’s play, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I always leave things clean, calm, and exactly how you left them. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
“Javay was fantastic! Super communicative and was incredibly patient with my senior anxious dog. She was available last minute which was a huge life saver for us. Thank you so so much Javay, Murph misses you!”


“Jen was a fantastic sitter for our pup, Maddie! She was very communicative sending regular photo updates during her stay, and kept everything shipshape around the house. If you’re seeking a reliable sitter look no further!”

“Scar was amazing with my two kitties and stayed over a few nights with them. I have a super shy girl that Scar won over and gave lots of pets to, and an extra hyper kitten that they played with and didn’t mind her kitten antics. I received fantastic photos of my kitties that made me feel so much better about my trip. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”

“Jeanmarie spent entire days with Bindi, my quirky little Italian greyhound. I appreciated all the photos and updates, and Bindi appreciated all the cuddles and company. I already have Jeanmarie booked for future housesits!”

“Julia was great! She maintained Ching's normal routine (including lots of walks) and sent lots of pictures every day. She left the apartment in great condition too. Will definitely book Julia again when travelling in the future!”

“Nancy stayed in our home with our two senior dogs for 5 nights and 6 days, and it was clear from the daily photos she shared that they absolutely fell in love with her. She took fabulous care of our babies and even told us she would gladly watch them again in the future. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience!”

“Andrea took great care of our Carolina dog over the weekend. She provided lots of updates and took great care of our home as well. She is professional, responsible and a great communicator. Highly recommend Andrea for all of your pet sitting needs!”

“Kaylee was an excellent sitter for our Tula. She was prompt and professional, and the perfect companion for our little dog, who is often skeptical of strangers. We will be using her services again!”

“Stephanie is the absolute best. I trust her completely and am so grateful she is in our lives. I even had to drop a last-minute request for medications because Fauna had a procedure the DAY before I left town. I almost didn't leave on my trip but Stephanie is confident, reliable, and even ended up teaching me a few things about how to give meds. Forever grateful!!!”

“Madison provided excellent care for my little girl. I came back to a happy dog and a clean home. She provided plenty of updates and photos during a short time away. I highly recommend her for house sitting.”

“Caitlin was amazing with our dog and cat. She went above and beyond to make Moose feel happy and loved. He can be a bit much sometimes and we are so happy he had a great time with.”

Claire did such an amazing job taking care of our dogs and home while we were away! She is a great communicator- she sends confirmations the day before and lots of updates during the stay. She did a great job with our complicated pups and was sure they got their medicine and vitamins on schedule. She even made the extra effort and developed a strong bond with one of our dogs who is quite selective about humans he likes. She did lots of extra stuff like being in trashcans, feeding the fish, and picking up all the dog toys. She's a fantastic sitter!

Julia was awesome. We couldn’t be happier with how well she took care of our babies and treated our house. Julia was very communicative and the daily photos were perfect for us to feel great about leaving our girls in her care. No second thoughts about using Julia again on our next trip.

It was great to have Allison watch my two dogs while I was gone for a week. Based on the greeting I received when I got home. I can tell that they barely missed me! That’s a sign that they had a lot of attention while I was gone. I appreciated her taking extra time to meet with me before and get to know my dogs. Of course I’ve already booked her again.
“Jose was fantastic! He was professional, punctual, and incredibly attentive to my dogs. He kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear he truly cares about the animals he’s watching. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative sitter.
