“Mia was absolutely great! We will absolutely be using her again in the future. She was always on time and if anything changed she communicated that to us. She followed all the directions that we left for her. She spent a lot of time with beans and also sent us very cute videos and pictures”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, active, and comfortable while you’re away. have a flexible schedule and am available most mornings through early afternoons, as well as weekends and late evenings. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work around each pet owner’s routine and specific care needs. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crating if needed, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I treat every pet like family and prioritize cleanliness, communication, safety, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“Shalik has been a blessing to us the way she has given Macy the attention we had wanted for her. She has communicated well with us and has shown a very caring attitude with Macy.”

About: Life-long animal lover with experience across the board- dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and fish. I’ve raised my own pets for 18+ years and currently have 4 dogs & 4 cats. Multi-pet homes and big personalities, no problem! I use calm, positive reinforcement — no yelling or harsh corrections. 12 years of caring for coworkers’ and store pets. Your babies will be treated like family! I’m currently working part time as a barber and full time as a single mother. I am free in the mornings after school drop off, throughout the afternoon, and in the evening after school pick up. I’d make your pet my priority. I hope for a future in animal rescue, but will settle for helping my neighbors pets in the mean time. I have a fenced yard with a large dog door for free roaming pups. I walk my dogs in the evenings when it’s cool out. The litter boxes must be changed daily with 4 kitties running the house. I will show your home the same respect I require in mine.

About: I I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. My background includes daily feeding routines, administering basic medications, leash walks, playtime, and providing lots of affection and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort levels. I work a remote full time job. If I’m needed more frequently, all I’d ask is to be allowed to work from your location. Otherwise, I’m on a 9-5 work schedule and can be available for one hour, typically between 11am and 1pm, and every evening. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I am available after 3:30 pm daily, which allows me to reliably focus on feeding times, walks, okay sessions, and quality one-on-one care in the afternoons and evenings.

“Abigail took great care of my cat and gave great reports every day so that I could know he was happy!”

“Kathleen was great and took great care of our pups. She followed our instructions and kept us in the loop of the visits and any issues. Thank you!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a former veterinary technician with six years of experience in equine medicine, I have cared for a wide variety of animals in both professional and personal settings. I have lifelong experience owning and handling hunting dogs, giant breeds, cats, horses, and other farm animals. My background includes administering medications, monitoring animals with special needs, caring for senior pets, and safely and confidently handling horses. I also have experience managing multi-pet households and navigating behavioral challenges, including in-home dog-to-dog aggression, with a focus on safety, prevention, and stress reduction for all animals involved. My schedule is very flexible, and I typically offer drop-in visits in the morning and evening, with each visit lasting about 45 minutes to an hour. If your pet needs additional time, extra potty breaks, medication visits, or a more customized care schedule, I'm happy to work with you to find a routine that fits their needs. A quick note on pricing: my standard overnight house-sitting rate starts at $80 per night for dogs and $50 per night for cats. That said, I understand that many families have multiple pets, and costs can add up quickly. Unless you have a very large number of animals or pets requiring intensive medical care or specialized attention, I typically cap my overnight rates at around $100–$150 per night. If you have multiple pets, horses, farm animals, or a unique care situation, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to discuss your specific needs and create a customized rate that is fair for everyone.

About: Hi there! I’m Emma, and I’ve spent the last two decades dedicated to the happiness and well-being of animals. Whether you have a high-energy puppy, a senior cat needing gentle pets, or a quiet rabbit, I have the experience and the heart to make them feel right at home while you’re away. Why Choose Me? With 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve seen it all. I am deeply familiar with the unique needs of: Dogs of all sizes: From tiny Chihuahuas to gentle giants. Cats of all ages: I’m an expert at reading feline body language and providing specialized care for kittens or seniors. Small Animals: I have a soft spot for rabbits and understand their specific social and dietary needs. A Built-In Social Club One of the best parts of staying at my home is the company! I am proud to have a very welcoming "welcoming committee" consisting of: 2 Friendly Dogs: Who love making new playmates. 3 Social Cats: Who are accustomed to visitors and happy to share their space. Your pet won't just be "boarded"—they’ll be part of the family. They will have plenty of supervision, cuddles on the couch, and friends to keep them entertained. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind. That’s why I prioritize clear communication. You can expect: Regular photo and video updates. Strict adherence to your feeding and medication schedules. A safe, clean, and loving environment. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I'm currently working from home so I'm available at any time during the weekday and weekends to prioritize care and activities. I'm looking forward to providing the level of care your furry friend is used to receiving at home! I have a fully fenced-in backyard and a built-in "social club" to keep your furry friend happy and safe. I can easily crate dogs if needed as well, although most of the time your furry friend will be treated as a member of our family, allowed on the couch and bed with us if they choose.

“Great with both of my little furr balls! Raanan is super communicative and reliable.”

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
