About: I’ve been caring for cats for as long as I can remember, from my parents’ friends’ cats growing up to now helping friends and neighbors whenever they need a sitter. I have experience with kittens, adult cats, and even seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm currently a proud cat mom to Milo, my sweet flame point Siamese, so I understand the importance of routines, picky eaters, playtime, and making pets feel safe and loved when you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your cat is playful, shy, talkative, or just loves a cozy nap in the sun, I’ll do my best to make them feel like they’re right at home. I'm comfortable giving oral medications, feeding wet/dry food on a schedule, scooping daily, and providing lots of gentle love and attention. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you feel confident while you're away. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priority! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, I already care for my own cat, Milo, every day with regular feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, so I’m usually home or nearby and can accommodate visits, drop ins, or overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. I’m especially available on weekends, early mornings, and evenings, and I always make time for pets in my care to feel safe, loved, and not rushed. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, quiet, and safe, no open windows, cords, or plants that could be dangerous. I treat every cat with patience and respect, giving them time to adjust and making sure they feel secure. I keep food, water, and litter areas tidy and in their usual routine. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely and treat the space with care and professionalism. I double check doors, make sure your cat isn’t hiding somewhere unsafe, and always leave things exactly as I found them. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well and your home is in good hands. Your pet’s emotional and physical well being always comes first, and I always work to earn their trust at their own pace.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life through all 24 years. I started helping care for them around the age of 10, including two high energy Australian Shepherds, two cats, a rabbit, and exotic fish. I’m very active, love going on walks, and have been a long distance runner for years. I completed the New York City Half Marathon in spring 2024. I’m happy to do multiple walks a day or long mile walks. I’ve always been an animal lover raised in a home where pets are family. I want your pets to feel just as loved and happy as mine. I work part time and take online classes, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available for drop ins to give your pets some attention and for dog walking. I’m free Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday any time, Wednesday before 2 PM, and Friday before 11 AM. I am not available Saturday, and Sunday availability varies. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs.

“Paul was great! He made himself available for a pre-visit meet and greet and was warm and professional. His communication was responsive and he provided great updates. It was a pleasure to work with a mature and reliable sitter. We will not hesitate to ask him back for our next sit!”
About: Hello Fellow Pet Parents, I work in education so I have an abundance of availability in the summer. During the school year I’m free weekends and during holiday breaks for all sitting purposes! So what can I say!?! Hummm… I Have assisted in the pet sitting world for over 10 years both commercially and privately. Built our own little dog park which gets cleaned daily. My pups are super friendly and love to do zoomies with visitors. The home is open and spacious. All dogs get individual attention. I work, but during the summer and parts of the year I do work remotely and have time off. I spend most of my weekends, afternoons, and evenings home with the pups and family. I have a fenced in little doggie park that gets cleaned daily. Dogs are free to roam the home unless you prefer them to be crated at anytime (ex. Bedtime). Two small dogs live here who are extremely social, vaccinated, and love playing with visitors. There are doggie cameras too. I make myself available anytime for my fellow doggie parents.
About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.
About: As a registered nurse, I bring a unique level of expertise, attentiveness, and care that sets me apart from other pet sitters. My medical training allows me to confidently handle pets with special health needs, administer medications safely, and recognize early signs of illness or distress. I'm calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and experienced in caring for those who can’t speak for themselves — making me especially compassionate and intuitive with animals. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I provide care with the same level of professionalism and empathy I bring to my nursing practice. Nursing shifts often are scheduled in blocks giving me extended periods of availability for pet care. During my days off, I can dedicated focused, quality tim to pets offering companionship and much needed attention! Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I bring the same level of care and responsibility I offer to my human patients, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after in their own home.
“Kirsten did an AMAZING job watching my Maine Coon Ozzy. I was so nervous to leave him as I haven’t left him for a week before with someone other than family. She answered texts promptly, & sent pictures of Ozzy every visit! We have a unique living situation and she took care of everything perfectly! Brushed him, played, always had food and water. Coming home I was nervous how Ozzy would be, but it is very obvious he was very well taken care of! I’m starting to think he didn’t even miss me lol!”
“Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one!
