About: I've taken care of pets my whole life, and my current household has two corgis, four cats, and I've previously owned snakes. I currently have 2 senior kitties, both are 15, and my two younger kitties are 8 and 2. My doggos are 7 and 5, and all of my animals are female. I can give oral medication, train your pup (or kitty for that matter), if needed I would be comfortable being guided through injections. I currently take care of my neighbor's cats when they're away, and I take care of a family friend's two golden retrievers when they're away too! I actually trained those two doggies to be much better on leash too! Currently my only job is Uber, which I can do whenever I want, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I have a car so I can check in on your animals whenever, or even take them to the dog park! My two corgis would be happy to keep your doggy company if you'd like. I will take plenty of photos of your pets and send them to you if I can. I'd be happy to stay at your home or check in twice a day, but I can not bring any doggies home with me. I'm comfortable with practically anything to do with pet care, but can not take animals with communicable skin conditions as I do not want to infect my animals at home.
“Hannah was able to come over on short notice to watch our puppy. She sent a video of him having fun outside to give us peice mind. She went above and beyond and stayed with him for extra time, as well as leaving our space clean and tidy. We would recommend Hannah 😊”
About: Hi! I’m Alexandra—an experienced pet lover with 9+ years of caring for both big and small dogs (especially golden doodles!) and cats. I offer walks, drop-ins, and lots of love. I’m comfortable giving medication and always provide updates to keep you in the loop. Your pet will be treated like family! Availability: I'm flexible and available any day of the week—including weekends! Whether you need early morning visits, mid-day walks, or evening check-ins, I’m happy to work around your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I strive to create a calm, familiar environment for your pet while you're away. You can trust that they'll be in loving, reliable hands every step of the way.
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a kid—dogs, cats, fish, even a few oddballs—and I’ve loved them all. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m someone who truly enjoys spending time with animals and learning their personalities. I walk a lot and would love some furry (or feathery, or scaly!) friends to join me on my adventures. I’ve been walking my friends’ dogs for years just for fun, and figured—why not turn it into a side gig? I’m just getting started, but I’m excited to build a profile and a positive reputation in the community as someone pets (and their people!) can count on. I have my own aquarium and know a ton about fish tank care, so I’m great with aquatic pets too. The quirkier the animal, the more I’m into it! Whether your pet is a couch potato or a weirdo with a routine, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m also LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome all kinds of people and pets—kindness and respect are a big deal to me, on both ends of the leash. I work full-time Monday through Thursday on second shift, but I’m available for quick drop-ins before and after work (yes, even after 1am—for those late-night litter scoopings or fish feedings!). Fridays through Sundays, I’m wide open and fully available for your pet’s lounging, snacking, and playing needs. Whether it’s a moody cat, a chill lizard, small rodent or an aquarium that needs some TLC, I’m happy to work them into my routine—they make life better! I don’t care for pets in my own home, but I’m happy to pick up your pet and take them on safe walking adventures to nearby parks! I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine—whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit. I’m not a professional, but I truly care and I’m always willing to learn. I follow your instructions closely (meds, feeding, tank care, litter box scooping—whatever you need) and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I also keep you in the loop with updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up and now in college have one as well. I love pets and caring for them with whatever they need! I work full time as a nurse. I’m any spare time I am more than willing to lend a hand in helping out with your pets needs. I have a yard at my house, along with lots of sidewalks to take walks on. I live upstairs in my house so have lots of spare room.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 13, So I have about six years of experience. I have taken care of aggressive animals and animals that require medicine. My schedule is pretty flexible as I work remotely. I only have class three times a week for college, each class period only lasting two hours. I care for pets in the clients home typically. If questions or concerns arise, I always call or text the owner before proceeding with the task.
“We couldn’t have been happier with Alex caring for our two kitties. She took great care of our cats and really made an effort to make a connection with each of them. She stayed in communication with us daily while we were away and even sent pictures. We have already rebooked her for our next trip!”
“Gabriella was able to help us out last minute and was a lifesaver! She communicated throughout her visits and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Can't wait to book with her again!”
