About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)

About: I grew up with dogs that were part of my family, which nurtured my love for animals. As I grew older, I took care of my friends' and family's pets, gaining valuable experience. I believe that pets are wonderful companions, and I am committed to caring for them with the attention they deserve. I understand the unique needs and affection that our furry friends require. I’m available to start pet care on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoons at 2 pm , and I can accommodate daily care as needed. I lovingly ensure they are fed on schedule, provide plenty of playtime and exercise to keep their spirits high, maintain a clean and comfortable environment through grooming and litter box care, watch over their health with a gentle eye, and offer companionship to make them feel cherished and secure.

“As always, a wonderful experience with Liam. He watched our 10 year old Am Staff for 6 days. When we came home from our trip she was relaxed and not stressed at all, like she had been coming home from the kennel. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Liam!”


“Morgan: has our complete trust to care for our dog Maddy and cat Charley. She is a good communicator, is a person who cares for pets and treats them like her own. Morgan is poised and responsible and someone we are comfortable leaving in charge of our home. She has watched our pets periodically for several years and does the little things to make them comfortable when we are away. Our dog Maddy knows her name and gets excited when we tell her Morgan is coming by! Without hesitation we can recommend Morgan.”


“I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.”


“Antonia was the absolute best!! We were so happy with her watching our fur babies! She was so informative and kept us updated throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. We had never left our dogs with everyone and this being our first time was an absolute dream. She left our house neat, clean and was so conscientious!! Can't thank her enough!!!”


“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and it was such a positive experience! Natalie was AMAZING! It's clear how much she loves animals. She was able to keep our anxious dog calm and distracted while we were away. She kept us informed and sent pictures regularly. We will absolutely call on her again to care for our dog!”


About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs. They are so adorable! I love them because they are the best friends you could ever have. I would love to take care of your best friend and family member Right now I’m home full time and have plenty of time to take care of your baby. The most important thing is that I’m flexible and I can work at your time. I can work in many environments like your home. In my drop-in visits I can walk your dog, comfort him, care for him, and play with him.

“Ava took wonderful care our very large visually impaired dog who required medication on a very specific schedule. She was in communication with us, sent pictures and was great with him. We will definitely have her back!”



“Heather was a fantastic fit for watching our pup and two cats. She communicated any concerns promptly and it was such a relief to know they were in good hands. I will be using Heather again in the future for any time away!”


About: Hi! My name is Xiomara and I love all animals :) I have been a pet sitter for a many years now. I’m very hands on and love to spend time playing, cuddling, running, and ensuring that your fur baby gets the attention they need. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, fish, birds, ferrets, and many more. Having also been a babysitter for over 10 years, I have encountered many pets throughout my time spent with various families and understand the importance of catering to the different and unique needs of each pet and their distinct personalities. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets and I can’t wait to hear from you! I currently work full time Monday through Friday with two work from home days. I’m available before and after work on my three in-office days and have open availability on weekends. I can fully adapt to any specific routine your pets need to follow in the comfort of their home. I know every pet has varying routines and know the importance of sticking to their specific needs. For longer stays, I try to make myself available to ensure pets are still receiving love and cuddles they need while their parents are away!

About: I have taken. Are of dogs and cats since I was a 10 and professionally as an adult at Morris Animal Inn in Enrichment Department. I work at a cat boarding facility in the mornings and was a senior staff member working with both dogs and cats of all ages and activity levels at Morris Animal Inn. I am very comfortable and experience with cats of all temperaments and dogs of all sizes, breeds, age, and any activity level as an athlete.

About: I have a natural connection to pets. If a dog gets out of hand, I make sure to remain patient so that they have a chance to reciprocate calm energy. Not afraid of accident attendance. Big time walker. I'm currently using this to fill in some time while I'm looking for another part-time position. In the meantime, I have a lot of time on my hands. Even so, once I secure one it will not stop me from taking care of pets. I take my dog on walks and make sure he gets a good play session in our fenced-in backyard so he isn't restless. Also a great lounger if you just need a live eye on the furball.

“Working with Mea was a pleasure! She was communicative and shared daily photos while we were away (on walks, playing with toys, lounging and snuggling). We know we made the right choice in having Mea dog-sit in our home, as Sadie was relaxed and calm when we returned. We were away for over a week (for the first time!) and this was the best way to minimize her stress and her routines were mostly unchanged. Our trip was unexpectedly extended by 2 days due to a flight cancellation, and Mea was accommodating and flexible and really helped us out in a jam. We would happily trust Mea again with Sadie in the future!”
