About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes and temperaments for over 6 years. Having two of my own rescue fur babies and helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that pets respond well to. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own—whether that’s administering medication, going on long walks, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I am currently in the process of credentialing for a full-time healthcare job, so I am available at whatever day and times work best for others! I am unable to have dogs at my home, but am happy and willing to follow any instructions you provide me for taking care of your fur baby in their home and environment! I have a car which I can transport them to fun adventures or we can hang out at your house/neighborhood. My 2.5 year old fur baby is also dog-friendly if you’d like your pet to have a dog play companion.

“Stephanie was prompt, communicative, and Brutus had a great time! Thanks again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs while creating a safe, loving environment. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of pets—from energetic puppies to senior cats and dogs requiring extra patience and medical care. I believe in clear communication with pet parents, and I always provide regular updates and photos so you feel connected while you're away. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and well-cared for at all times. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I arrange my classes in a way that leaves me time throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Since much of my coursework is either online or self-paced, I’m often home or close by, which means your pet gets consistent attention and care. On weekends, summer, and during breaks, I have even more availability for extended stays or additional visits. Pet care is a meaningful and rewarding part of my routine, and I make it a priority to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and at ease. I take the time to understand each pet’s habits, preferences, and any special needs so I can provide personalized care. In a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s familiar routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and cuddles. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will always communicate promptly if anything seems off.

About: Hello! I’m Erin, a full-time high school teacher and pet-sitter on the side. I’m an animal lover and I have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have a ton of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds and cats, as well as a few smaller animals (rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish). I’m calm, caring, and patient, with a soft spot for senior animals. I’ve had a great deal of experience caring for my own senior pets (both dogs and cats). I’ve provided care for animals with diapers, medication, and mild mobility issues. I’m also experienced in caring for diabetic cats and administering insulin, as I’ve helped two of my rescues go into remission. I strive to provide the best care possible for pets, and peace of mind for their owners! Please be aware that starting August 25th, I will be at work from 7:35 am-3:05 pm. I’m currently a full time as a high school teacher, so from 7:35-3:05 on week days, I’m usually at work. If I am pet sitting during the week, I head straight to the pets at the end of the work day. On weekends, I am able to dedicate most, if not all, of the day to spending time with your pets. This is also the case over the summer. I provide pet care in client’s homes, per the directions provided by the clients. Prior to caring for your pet(s), I ask that we arrange a time for me to meet your pet(s) and go over all pertinent information regarding their care and safety.

About: I'm currently training for a marathon so I love running in the park frequently. If your dog is super energetic, I would love to run with him/her to tire them out so that they will be calmer at home. Back when I had my dog Archie, I would run with him everyday so that he would sleep well at night. I've also had experience with training puppies such as potty training and simple commands. I'm patient when it comes to training. I'm currently a WFH software engineer so I have plenty of time to make sure your dog gets all the attention he/she needs! I am currently a WFH software engineer so I can take care of your dog basically anytime provided a day or two notice in advance. I have a big backyard which would allow your dog plenty of space to run around. I also do have a couple of younger cousins who love dogs too and they are willing to also help make sure your dog gets all the attention that he/she needs.

About: Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs and animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I truly adore every furry friend I meet. and treat them as if they were my own. I am full of positive energy and love giving belly rubs, going on walks, and making sure every pup is taken care of. I am a stay at home mom to two beautiful girls, pet care fits into my daily and weekly routinely easily. Whether its an over night stay with me, or home visit I will be there for your furry friend. At your home or mine, I bring patience, energy, and lots of love to make sure your pet is happy. From daily walks and playtime o quiet cuddles, I take pride in making pets feel cared for, safe, and part of the family.

About: My fur baby genuinely makes every day of my life better. Pets are the purest form of love and trust, and it is so special that we get to share that! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, including ones that have more than 4 legs 🕷️ reptiles 🦎 or rodents 🐀 I have been pet/house sitting since my teenage years, for neighbors, family members, and by recommendation. I love the outdoors and being active, if your pet does too we are sure to have ourselves an adventure! Young or senior, your pet will have their needs tended to and their senses engaged (or respect their space if they prefer to have less socialization). I currently do freelance work and I can make and set my own schedule. I have a lot of flexibility to tend to your fur babies! I am a very empathetic human, so making sure your animal is happy and healthy fills me with joy! I respect and understand that every fur baby is different and has their own needs and personality. I look forward to listening & learning what your pet loves and needs!

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience, I bring genuine care and reliability to every pet I watch. I cared for my own dog for 10 wonderful years, gaining firsthand knowledge of the attention, patience, and consistency pets need to thrive. In addition, I’ve regularly cared for the dogs of friends and family—ranging from playful puppies to senior companions—ensuring they felt safe, loved, and well-exercised while their owners were away. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and the trust I build with both pets and their people. I treat every dog like my own—with plenty of affection, playtime, and a focus on their individual routines and comfort. I am a stay at home mom with dog loving kids! Your dog will get plenty of attention and snuggles from me and the kids! We have a big yard and your dog will get plenty of walks! Dogs are welcome on our couches and we have plenty of room to play inside!

About: I have had 3 dogs growing up so use to handling multiple at one time. Also my shih tzu that passed had severe skin allergies so I have experience with medical baths and diets. I work from home 3 days a week so home all day MWF, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in the office but only a 10 min drive away and can walk them during lunch and be back home with your doggo before dinner! I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park, personally have a well sized yard and back deck for lots of outdoor fun! Currently I own 2 guniea pigs but they’re quiet and kept on an elevated surface no dog has been bothered by them before. Lots of toys and 2 beds here to play with but encourage to bring your pet’s favorites here as well.
