About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable with care taking, from walks, to feeding, bathroom breaks, enrichment/play, vet needs, medication, etc. My dog has unique needs I trust sitters with, so I’ll ensure your pets are taken great care of, and stick to their normal routine and get lots of pets and love. I’m a federal employee who’s currently furloughed so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets on a schedule that works for you and them. My dog doesn’t do great with other pets so I don’t offer services in my own home, but I will do drop in visits and walks from yours! I like being prepped with all the right information I need to find your pet’s food, toys, leash, etc. and am happy to drop in to get any extra explanation in person beforehand if needed. While I’m providing services I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures of your pet so you can see them happy, healthy, and having fun! I’ll be available if you need to contact me at any time during the period I’m caring for your pet.

“Madeleine was absolutely awesome to work with and highly recommend! This is the first time we've had someone new come in to check on him and he has a history of being stubborn and she got him out every time. The photos and little updates were great and she really made us feel comfortable being away. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Great communication, and answered all my questions.”

Jennifer S.

“Brian was incredible! Our dog Davey has a very hard time warming up to others but Brian was very patient with him and Davey quickly calmed down around him. He also sent us regular updates and photos to keep us posted while we were away and met up with us before his first visit so we could all get to know each other.”

“Hannah was super cool and chill. We have anxious cats who do not like when we travel—Hannah clearly did well because they were both super calm and friendly when we got back. She sent lots of pictures and overall did really great. 10/10 for cat rating.”

Ian R.

“Sera was so communicative and responsive! She went above and beyond with my cat- made sure to spend quality time with him and sent detailed updates. I look forward to working with her again!”

About: Ever since I was born, my family always had dogs in the house as they would often provide foster care, we also ended up adopting a few of them! When I was older, around 14, I began looking after and caring for animals from my friends and family. Because of this, I have great experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles and even pigs! I'm currently searching for a new job - so I have plenty of time to fit in animal care daily. For the meantime, I treat this as my part-time job! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. My apartment has doors separate my room and the kitchen, so its easy for me to watch animals within my space. There is also an enclosed outdoor area for easy walks!

“Michelle did an awesome job with all 3 of our pets! She was consistent with updates, and our fur kids loved her. We plan to hire her again in the future!”

Amanda K.

“Maizee was quick to warm up to Silvia and I appreciate her great communication!”

About: if you're busy and unable to walk your dog, then I'm your gal. I will provide them the much needed enrichment that they deserve while you're away and give you updates along the way. I work three days a week and have full flexibility with the remaining four. my schedule is set with my other job, so my reliability is as consistent as it can be. I will provide personalized one on one care for your dog or pet at your discretion. With my medical experience, I am also very comfortable and adept at treating common conditions in senior animals or in sick animals.

“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! She is always so diligent and thoughtful. She has taken great care of my cats and all their various special needs. She’s always a first pick to look out for!”

About: I've been an animal lover of all kinds since I was very young--I used to watch the baby birds grow out of the nests on our front porch and help lizards hatch from their eggs in the backyard. Since I was a teenager, my family has taken care of both cats and dogs, and while in college I raised two kittens, as well as contributed with other students to the care of several beloved campus strays, some of which became indoor cats! I have experience with dog and catsitting, and love the outdoors. I'm working part time, four days a week, and have lots of time in the afternoons while the sun is still out or during the day when I am off work! I'm also available weekend mornings for walks, and can easily make stops to let any pets inside or outside or to make sure they are fed. I have both a car and bicycle, and can navigate around the area fairly well! What's most important to me is a pet's comfort and safety--respecting their boundaries and body language is my number one priority. Learning what they respond to, their own quirks and behaviors is key so I can align myself with them and earn their trust! I can walk dogs of all sizes, and I've been able to keep the trust of even the most skittish cats. Getting to know each pet individually is such a wonderful experience, because every one is so unique.
