Has been great with my cat. Mina is very standoffish and finally after Cassidy’s second time watching Mina she let Cassidy pet her. That’s quite an accomplishment!! Mina doesn’t like many people. I would highly recommend.

Julia took great care of my cat! Yuffie is usually very shy so I was very happy when Julia managed to get photos of my elusive queen. I would happily hire Julia again, thank you so much!

Karen was great with our dogs. She kept watch over the newborn pups like they were her own. We have some unusual circumstances but she was happy to adapt.

Kimberly was amazing and took such amazing care of our animals while we were on vacation! Even though our German was a turd, she still won over his love while having to give him medication that he hates for a whole week! We are so thankful for her and her love of animals!!

About: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also small mammals and exotics. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, rats, tortoises, lizards, hermit crabs, and even tiny critters like jumping spiders. If it has fur, scales, or a shell, there’s a good chance I’m comfortable caring for it! I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always prioritize each animal’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether that means high-energy playtime for big dogs, gentle handling for small pets, or precise care for reptiles and invertebrates, I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and reliable care. I’m available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and attentive to your pet while you’re away. I understand that every pet household is different, and I’m happy to discuss specific care needs, animals not listed here, or custom pricing. If you have any questions at all—about availability, pricing, or whether I’d be a good fit for your pet—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to chat and make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I have experience with different age ranges too - I've had the opportunity to see many of my fur family member's long lives, from beginning to end. I am currently working remotely and on my own time, so I have lots of flexibility with times and services. I love being outdoors and enjoy a cozy day in too. We have an unfenced yard but a deck with a gate on the stairs down. We live on walking trails that our fur babies frequent with us. Currently have dogs, cats, rats, and a tortoise. Rats and tortoise are kept in different closed rooms. Dogs and cats are allowed to free-roam the house. We do have MANY kennels (with varying sizes) that we can utilize if needed. I also am comfortable going into your home and watching your critters there too :)

About: I’ve helped train dogs before and I'd love to assist in sharpening their skills. I love walks or staying at home! I enjoy all dog company! I currently have control and flexibility of creating my own schedule. So I’m technically working part-time but I can work full-time if I want to. I follow their pets routines so they don’t feel as sad when their owners leave. This helps to regulate their days and overall mood and well-being.

Fantastic personality! Loves ALL animals. She said she would even pet sit for farm animals. My cats loved her and she was SO good with them. She sent pictures of them when she visited which I really appreciated. Flexible schedule and showed up when she said she would. Communicated if she was running behind or had to change times. Highly recommended as an in home pet sitter!

About: I've always taken care of pets, my family has always had 3+ animals; whether it's horses, chickens, dogs, cats, or fish. I have an elderly dog at home who is recovering from a back injury, so he has a hard time going to the bathroom, and I am very good at helping with that. I used to have a dog that had a lot of seizures, so I know how to care for a dog when they are having a seizure. We also now have 2 puppies that I helped train now! I have also taken care of my neighbors cats, to which she has around 5. There I just did daily feedings and pettings. I also took care of my aunt's dogs numerous times, she has 3 dogs. I fed, washed, and walked her dogs. We also have 3 cats and they all love me! Always running to me because they want pets and to be brushed! I'm currently just looking for more work. I really love animals and thought this would be a great choice! Monday and Tuesday I'm available after 6 and 4 respectfully and I'm available all day Wednesday and Thursday! I care for the pets in my home by making sure they are properly expending their energy outside, instead of tearing apart couches and carpet! I know how to create dogs and cats if necessary! I also know how to walk dogs with no back leg function, and if that's the case let me know and I will prepare properly for it!

About: I’ve been caring for the pets of family and friends for years, including both dogs and cats. My experience includes pet sitting, playtime, daily walks, and making sure they get outside for bathroom breaks. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I deliver for Domino's Pizza, and I am looking to pet-sit for some extra Money and potentially switch to pet-sitting full-time. I enjoy spending time and playing with dogs and cats, too. I feed my cat wet food twice daily and add ice cubes to her water twice daily. I also give her two Greenies chicken dental treats twice a day for teeth and gum health. I clean her litter box 1-2 times a week and play with her every day. When I care for my parents' dog, I feed him twice a day, and he gets 2-3 treats daily. I take him for a walk or to the dog park to play with him, and also let him out to go to the bathroom 2-4 times a day.
