“Laura is amazing! Both of my pets adored her from their first meet and greet. Laura was on time, responsive, and send frequent updates while we were away. She left our house spotless and to my surprise even did some chores as a way to go above and beyond. This was my first time booking Laura and am going to feel very comfortable when I have her back for 2.5 weeks in a couple months. I highly recommend Laura for all of your pet and home sitting needs!”

About: My connection to animals began early, growing up in the South of Georgia with dogs and ducks as my first pets. That foundation developed into a lifelong respect for animals and their care, including several years representing PETA, which further shaped my thoughtful, ethical approach. With over 20 years as a career nanny, I bring a level of attentiveness, structure, and emotional intelligence that goes well beyond standard pet sitting. I am deeply attuned to routines, subtle behavioral cues, and the importance of calm, consistent care. I approach every animal with the same standards I upheld in private households: reliability, clear communication, discretion, and respect for the family’s home. I also excel in long-term, high-trust arrangements — particularly for families who travel frequently or maintain demanding schedules. In short, I offer composed, experienced, and intentional care, so you can leave knowing your pet is not simply watched, but genuinely cared for. Knowledgeable and up-to-date on 2026 CPR and Rescue for Dogs (Both 30lbs, over and under) and People (Can carry heavy weights, up and down several flights of stairs as training). Veterinarian will be called in case of any Emergency, or if pet is in critical state. Have a Dog First Aid Kit that I bring with me to be readily prepared, and have worked at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital and Archbold Hospital. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly schedule. I intentionally maintain a balanced workload, which allows me to provide attentive, unrushed care and remain fully present during each visit or stay. My background as a career nanny means I am accustomed to structured days, consistent routines, and prioritizing the needs of those in my care without overbooking. Because I plan my week thoughtfully, I am able to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and travel coverage while maintaining flexibility for families who require dependable, ongoing support. Clients appreciate that I treat pet care as a professional commitment — not a side task — ensuring punctuality, consistency, and clear communication. In short, pet care is a deliberate and integrated part of my week, allowing me to offer calm, reliable service that aligns well with families seeking long-term, high-trust care. Pet care in my clients’ home is calm, intentional, and meticulously observed. My attention to detail means I notice the small things — subtle changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or routine — and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. Your pet’s environment is respected and kept orderly, and routines are followed precisely to maintain a sense of continuity and ease. With a trained eye for photography, I also document care in a refined, unobtrusive way. Updates are thoughtfully composed — well-lit, natural, and unforced — so clients receive images that genuinely reflect their pet’s comfort and well-being, not staged moments. These visuals provide reassurance without disrupting the flow of care. I am mindful that I am a guest in a private home. Discretion, cleanliness, and respect for personal space are paramount. Every visit is approached with the same standard I upheld in private households as a career nanny: quiet professionalism, attentiveness, and pride in the details that elevate the entire experience. In essence, in-home care with me is composed, observant, and beautifully maintained — allowing clients to feel confident that both their pet and their home are in capable, considerate hands.

“Holly exceeded my expectation I had for a pet sitter. She arrived on time, immediately connected with Lily, and took the time to learn all about Lily's routine and preferences. Her questions showed how much she cared about providing the best possible experience for my dog. During her visit, Holly kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was obvious that Lily was comfortable, happy, and received excellent care. Holly is professional, dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. She has two dogs of her own. I feel fortunate to have found Holly and will absolutely book her again. I recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking exceptional care for their pet.”

“We can’t begin to thank Kristi enough for coming to our rescue and taking fabulous care of our lab Dexter and our itty bitty kitty Willy ! She cared for our home like it was her own, everything was right in its place when we got home. Her communication with us while we were gone was fantastic, she let us know every step of the way how things were going and the pictures and videos were so fun to receive!! We wouldn’t give it a second thought to take full advantage of Kristi’s services again when needed !”

“Jordan took care of our 2 cats for a week when we went away on vacation. He was really on top of things, responsible and reliable. He sent us photos daily by text to assure us everything was happening according to plan. He’s really nice too. I highly recommend him!”

“I can’t say enough good things about how great Maria is! She took great care of our 10 month old puppy and our kitten while we were out of the country for a week. Maria did such an amazing job handling a high energy puppy and sent us lots of updates and cute pictures while we were away. Our flight got delayed by one day and Maria was even able to stay and take care of our pets for an extra night. If you’re looking for a very kind and responsible sitter then don’t hesitate to book Maria.”

Kate S.

“Kim is AMAZING! She took excellent care of our Jax. Based on the photos she sent, clearly, he was on vacation for the week too! She was VERY helpful around the house with my plants, taking care of the home, cleaning before we returned, and was very communicative. She was even willing to help with a family emergency while we were away. Jax is a very opinionated Pitbull; he gives her 5 STARS and is asking when she can come back. THANK YOU for everything, Kim!”

About: THE go-to pet sitter within my community because of the care, attention, and genuine love I bring to every animal I look after. Friends, family, and clients consistently trust me with their pets because they know I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and attentiveness that I would my own. In addition to years of pet sitting, I have experience working with wild birds, horses, and wildlife through educational and conservation programs. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for animal behavior and the many different ways animals communicate, build trust, and relate to the people around them in a respectful way. My professional background as a caregiver has also strengthened skills that translate naturally to pet care, including responsibility, observation, consistency, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, supported, and cared for while you're away. Currently working part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting, dog walks, cat care, and drop-in visits. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine with plenty of time for walks, play, companionship, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and creating a safe, comfortable environment while their humans are away. I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including cats, dogs, birds, and horses, and I have experience with anxious pets and shy cats. My approach is centered around patience, respect, and meeting each animal where they are. I’m a calm presence who understands that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I allow pets the space they need while offering support, companionship, playtime, and enrichment when they’re ready. My goal is to help pets feel secure, cared for, and comfortable in their own home.

“Kaila was great. She took good care of Talu, lots of photos, great communication, and left the house in great shape. I’d love to have her back, and so would my cat♥️”

“Jenifer did a very good job taking care of our pups. I know they both enjoyed staying with her because they were snuggling on her bed and bringing her their toys!”

“Slava and Sanjana were fantastic with our 14 week old puppy Luna, who was being left in the care of others for the first time. They were very quick to respond, followed our (very detailed) care instructions, were very prompt with scheduling and messaging, and sent frequent updates while we were away. It is especially helpful that they are a team, as puppies can be a handful! We will definitely be using their services again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, starting with Daisy, a cocker spaniel I got back in second grade. She lived to a happy old age and even had puppies. I kept one, a cockapoo named Lucas, and he’s still with me today along with his sister Bella. They’re almost 13 now, so I know senior dogs well, plus all the energy and walks that younger ones need. Over the years I’ve dog sat and house sat for family and friends, with everything from small dogs to big breeds like a Kangal and a pit/bulldog mix. I’m comfortable with all kinds, though small to medium dogs are my sweet spot. I’m also happy to handle the little stuff, like ear cleaning, that some breeds need. Whether your dog is a puppy, full of energy, or slowing down a bit, they’ll be in calm and caring hands with me. My schedule shifts week to week since I’m balancing work and school, but overall it gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m generally free most mornings and have stretches throughout the day to check in, walk dogs, or spend real time with cats rather than just rushing through visits. For house sitting, I plan my hours around your pet’s routine, not the other way around. I’ve had pets my whole life, so a calm and safe environment is second nature to me. For dogs, that means sticking to their walk and feeding schedule and being attentive during play and downtime. For cats, I’m careful about doors and entry points since I know how easily they can slip out, and I keep an eye on plants or anything toxic that curious pets might chew on. Either way, I follow your home’s rules exactly as you’d want them and pay attention to the small things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable with someone new around.

About: Hello there! I’m a recent grad who loves dogs and pets! I grew up with a small maltipoo named Luna which I love and adore! Currently working part time during the week. I generally only work 3-4 weekdays 9-5pm. I am flexible to sit anytime outside of work and I always go on walks after work! I live in an apartment with a dog area in the complex. There is also a park nearby with a walking trail down the street!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice. I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your pup will have my full attention! I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your rules and routines exactly, treating your dog and your home with the same love and respect I would my own.

About: As a sitter, I strive to be your pet's bestie while you're away, making sure to relieve any anxieties with play and companionship. I always provide updates with photos, making sure you never miss out on the fun! I have 6 years experience pet care, dog sitting/walking and house sitting. If you have a furbaby with extra energy, a long walk or safe hike is no problem and fun for everyone! I am currently in nursing school in evening classes. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and house sits every weekday just shoot me a message and we can find what works best :) I am able to accommodate your fur baby’s needs in anyway. I understand the importance of routine and consistency in our babies' lives, and aim to keep their same daily routines in my care. I regularly communicate with my clients with updates and pictures :) For our energetic or puppy friends, exercise and play time is no problem! For our senior pups, I am attentive to their needs at all times to ensure their comfortability. I am familiar with diapering and administering medications for our senior friends and pups with special needs. I’d love to be a companion for your pup on your vacation/holiday and help maintain a safe, clean environment in your home!

About: I provide calm, loving care and treat every pet like my own. I’m patient and attentive to their routines, comfort, and needs. I’m experienced with both playful young pets and senior pets who need gentle care, medication reminders, and extra attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I naturally build pet care into my daily routine. I’m already organized with my time, so I can consistently check in, follow feeding schedules, and provide attention without rushing. On a daily basis, I make time for walks, play, litter box care, and companionship. Weekly, I plan ahead so I can accommodate longer visits, overnights, or extra care when needed. I’m reliable and flexible, so pets get steady, dependable care. I care for your pets in your home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and receive plenty of attention, play, and comfort. I keep their space clean and secure and adjust my care based on each pet’s personality, age, and needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
