“Alyiah was amazing! I hope I have the opportunity to book her again. She dropped and took great care of my cats. Making sure they were fed, they had water, had their litter box clean. She even threw out the litter bags so the house would smell. She played with my cats and was great communicating throughout the whole process. Thank you so much Alyiah for making me feel so comfortable and making this whole experience so much better!”


14. Nikita S.
About: I have always had an affinity for animals! You can leave your pet with me assured that they are getting the love, care, and attention they need because it is a true passion of mine. Raising and handling dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, even a squirrel I have truly seen it all. My experience of caring for animals of all different sizes, personalities, temperaments, and obedience levels I learned great patience and deep understanding of body language to get them the care they need. When under my watch, your pets will receive the same amount of love and respect I have towards my own. Their health and safety comes first always; then we work on how to keep them as happy and content as possible when they’re missing their parents. I have a very open schedule as it is a priority to get your pet the care they need. From week to week I will be there for your pet! I have owned and cared for cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and even a squirrel! This includes spending quality time, walking, feeding, watering, bathing, vet visits, etc. I will treat your pet with as much respect, care, and love as I do my own. In addition, I’ve worked on crate, entertaining, and obedience training. While I love my pets dearly there is a hard line when their behavior can be reckless and possibly dangerous, I keep a close eye to make sure they are safe, healthy, and happy.

16. Tori T.
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs throughout my life, from energetic puppies to big, lovable breeds. Growing up, I was surrounded by five pit bulls, and later shared a special bond with my childhood dog, Chevy, an American bulldog with a big personality. He was strong and spirited, but always gentle with me — and incredibly loyal. Currently, I walk my family’s dog, Soccer, a dachshund/toy poodle mix, on a near-daily basis. He’s so familiar with our routine, he literally finds his way to my door for his walks. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes, enjoy being active with them, and take pride in making sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I walk my family’s dog every day and share my home with a cat, so I’m used to structuring my time around feeding schedules, playtime, and walks. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate pet drop-ins, walks, and other daytime needs. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care. When I’m house sitting, I make sure your pet feels right at home — even while you’re away! I stick to their usual routines, whether that’s mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. I love keeping things clean, cozy, and calm so they feel safe and stress-free. I also keep you in the loop with cute updates! For walks, I bring good energy and good vibes! Whether your pup loves a chill stroll or a playful jog, I match their pace and personality. I’m all about keeping them active, engaged, and of course, showered with love and attention every step of the way.

“John would be the perfect person to walk/ care for your animal. In the years I’ve known him he has shown dedication and determination on caring for animals of all kinds. Your fury pet will be loved as if they are his own”


18. Sebastian A.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and currently share a home with my two-year-old Dachshund. I live in a house with a spacious yard, providing the perfect environment for play and exploration. As passionate pet lover, I understand the importance of personalized care and always ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply cuddling, I treat every pet like part of our family. I work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time all day, Monday through Sunday, to care for pets, assist with walks or check ins. I have a fenced yard and a friendly Dachshund to give company to any pet, with our flexibility we can easily teake care of pets.
