About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 2 years and truly love caring for animals. Along with my experience providing overnight care, I currently work as a veterinary assistant, where I care for both dogs and cats in a professional setting. Working in vet medicine has helped me become comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including senior pets and anxious animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, so I fit pet care around my work schedule. I’m available on weekends and some Thursdays, which I’ve listed in my availability. I make sure to plan ahead so I can be consistent and give pets proper care and attention when I’m with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get walks and bathroom breaks, and receive plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: treat every pup like family—whether they’re a zoomie-filled puppy or a chill senior needing some extra love. I’m super patient, reliable, and always keep you in the loop with cute updates. Need meds given, a belly rub pro, or help with training? Say less. Your fur baby’s in good hands with me. I currently work part-time while working toward my career goals, but that just means I have the flexibility to spend quality time with your fur babies in between! Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles—I’ve got time, love, and belly rubs to give 🐾💕 Whether I’m in your home or mine, your pet’s safety and comfort come first—always. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow any routines or rules your pup is used to. I’m big on supervision, making sure they’re never left unattended in unsafe areas. I also do a walkthrough to remove anything they shouldn’t get into (you know how sneaky they can be 😅). In your home, I respect your space and treat it like it’s my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pup feels secure while you’re away. Trust me, I’m all about good vibes, safety, and making your pet feel loved and relaxed 🐾💕

About: I’m a current cat owner to my 1-year-old indoor cat, Noodle, so I’m very familiar with daily care, feeding routines, litter maintenance, and understanding cat behavior. I’ve also cared for a senior cat (Prince) during a week-long pet sitting stay, providing attentive feeding, companionship, and monitoring his needs. In addition, I have experience caring for dogs, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive to different pet personalities. I truly enjoy caring for animals and will treat your cat like my own while keeping you updated for peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule working from home three days a week. Available for week and weekend boarding or daily drop ins. Also available to schedule multiple drop ins during the day. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, reliable, and will always follow your cat’s routine closely. I provide regular photo updates and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I live in the first floor with no access to the backyard. My one year old American Shorthair is very friendly but shy, and there are no children in the house.

Kethely is incredible. Our normal sitter was unable to cover the time we were going to be away and Kethely was luckily able to make the time work. She has such a passion and heart for animals and worked to make sure that even our one nervous cat was comfortable. Her updates gave us something to smile about each day of our trip, and we definitely look forward to working with her again.

Nechema is wonderful! Communicative, caring, and punctual. She always does great whenever we need her to check on our cats while we are away. Even the cats that usually are scared of new people are quicker to warm up to her.
