About: Whether you’re away for a few hours or a few days, your pets deserve the same love and care they get from you. As an experienced and dependable pet sitter, I provide a safe, stress-free environment where your pets feel comfortable and happy. From daily walks and feeding to cuddles and playtime, I tailor every visit to meet your pet’s unique needs. I care for dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m committed to treating every pet like family. Regular updates, photos, and a flexible schedule ensure peace of mind while you’re away. Full time petsitter, so I can be available at anytime you need me :-) I come to you, walk, feed and take care of your pet whenever needed. How I Care for Your Pets I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. Here’s what you can expect when I care for your pet: • Daily Routine: I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe. • Lots of Love & Attention: Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch, brushing, or just sitting together quietly, I spend quality time with your pet to make sure they feel cared for and never lonely. • Safe & Clean Environment: I ensure food and water bowls are cleaned regularly, litter boxes are scooped, and any accidents are handled with care and cleanliness. • Exercise & Mental Stimulation: From long walks and park time to puzzle toys and games, I keep pets active and engaged based on their age, energy, and personality. • Regular Updates: I send photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Every animal is different, so I always ask about medical needs, behavioral quirks, and preferences before you go—so I can give the best care possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, so I have plenty of experience. I also own a 5 month old mini aussiedoodle who is great with other small/medium sized dogs. She is crate trained, sleep trained, potty trained, and leash trained. I have lots of experience with dog training and have done a lot of research on it! I work from home full time, so I will be able to give potty breaks as often as I need to. I typically take Callie (my dog) to the park 2-3x a day and out to go potty every couple hours. I care for my pets in my home by making sure I ask all of the necessary questions beforehand. I make sure they are fed, enjoy their time with me, and get all their zoomies out at the park!

Yusuf B.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Yusuf – Outstanding Animal Caregiver I can’t recommend Yusuf enough as a dog and animal sitter. He has a natural connection with animals and treats every pet with incredible kindness, patience, and respect. Whether it’s taking care of dogs, cats, or more unique pets, Yusuf always goes the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, loved, and at home. He’s reliable, communicates clearly, and keeps you updated with photos and little notes that show how well your pets are doing — which always brings peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who combines trustworthiness with such a genuine love for animals. Yusuf truly treats them like family. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re his own, Yusuf is absolutely the right choice.”
