About: Hello! My name is Geosselyn I’m 30 years old . My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering in the shelters over the years. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 5+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your pets. I am a stay at home momma. I am married with 2 kids ranging from 13 and 3 yr old. We are a very busy household. I’m currently available to work full time or part-time, I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your lovely pet during weekdays and weekends. We have 3 dogs ( Chihuahua,Yorkie and a pug) & 3 cats. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life! We living in the countrySide with a fence backyard and with plenty of space for them to run and play! We are so excited to meet your pets. ☺️❤️ I’m currently available to work full time or part-time, I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your lovely pet during weekdays and weekends. We living in the countrySide with a fence backyard and with plenty of space for them to run and play! We are so excited to meet your pets. ☺️❤️

“Sunaina was great with Loki! He had such a great time with her and her family. She sent us many pictures and updates periodically of him during his time with them. She listened to our instructions on his allergies and food timing, and took him out for walks. We were super happy that he was happy! Definitely will book again when we are back in the area!”


“My experience with Uttam was great. Starting with confirming the availability, he is very easy and quick to reach out to, and understand my pet requirements. Upon boarding - he is great in giving an awesome experience to our pets while regularly sharing the updates. I would come back to him for future stays and recommend for others.”


“Pablo seemed to have a good time getting along with other pets in her care. Although he must have played rough or hurt himself when playing but came back with a bruise on his mouth. I was also told Pablo didn’t like eating his meal which is unusual since he didn’t have this issue anywhere else. Overall a good experience! Zay was responsive and helped accommodating him on short notice.”


“Selassie enjoyed his stay with Ashley. He came back home worn out after a long day of fun and play and ready to go to sleep. I definitely will be back for services”


About: I have worked at a boarding facility in an animal hospital for almost 3 years. I also have some experience working with vet techs and doctors. I made the decision to leave my job as a boarding technician to focus solely on my veterinary technology online classes. I know the care, love, dedication, patience and preparedness it takes to care for your babies. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and breeds. I’ve also cared for exotics which includes birds, small mammals, reptiles, etc. I also had a dog of my own which I had for 13 years and she was the love of my life. She was special needs, with a brain disease, dementia which caused behavioral issues, and in the last year of her life she suffered from a tumor and was constantly bleeding so I have a lot of experience with caring after a high maintenance pet, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I can confidently say animal caretaking is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done in my life. I left my full time job so I could focus on my online classes so my schedule is super flexible. I have no problem with getting up super early in the morning or being up super late at night. Working at an animal hospital full time for years hours can be very long and shifts start super early so I’m very disciplined when it comes to being on time. I have a big home and live near lots of parks and walkways where we can walk. I have spare pet beds, treats and toys in my home as well. The door to outside remains closed at all times. I will only take a dog outside if they are on leash. I will keep an eye on baby at all times.

About: At one time, we were breeders of Champion Golden Retrievers, and have raised many a pup, from small to large breeds. From Bernese to Yorkies, we love them all! Our furbabies are a Shorkie and Shih Tzu who are well behaved and make great hosts and playmates! Large pastures and trails on which to walk, so lots of exercise. Our canine guests will receive lots of love and attention! They will be welcome in our house if well-behaved, and treated like one of the family during their stay. We have excellent references from previous guests and do our best to make sure our every guest feels right at home. We follow all care guides given by our guests owners, including giving meds and treats as owner provides us. I or my husband are home with our guest dogs during stays. Our guests get lots of attention and care. We want to care for them as they are used to being cared for at home. We have a fenced yard. We back up to mikes of hiking trails for walks and runs always on leash. We walk 3-4 times a day or as often as match the home life of our guests. They are cared for in our home and integrated into being cared for as part of our family with 2 little welcoming fur babies.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember—starting from age six, I grew up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have three cats and one dog of my own, so daily pet care is already a natural part of my routine. Over the years, I’ve learned to understand animals’ different personalities, needs, and signals. I’m patient, loving, and attentive, and I treat every pet like family. I’m also comfortable with bathing and grooming, including giving basic haircuts for dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy senior, or a curious kitty, I always adapt my care to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. With my flexible work schedule and my husband working from home full-time, your pet will never feel alone. One of us is always around to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, we’re here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and part of the family—even on weekends. This constant presence allows us to closely follow their routines and quickly respond to any needs that come up. In my pet-friendly home, safety and comfort come first. I provide a calm, clean space with plenty of playtime and supervision. My own dog is friendly and well-socialized, happy to keep your pup company. I’m located near beautiful state parks and reservoirs—perfect for peaceful, enriching walks in nature. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely and offer lots of love, attention, and care as if they were my own.

“Kelsey is a wonderful dog sitter! I booked daycare for my 5 yr old, active black lab. Kelsey and her husband live in a small apartment with their own sweet lab, Carter, and at first I didn't;t know if two dogs in a small apartment would work. Kelsey was great however! She took them on 3 walks, played with them and sent me wonderful; photos. She is clearly an animal lover and knows how to make it work. I am delighted to have found Kelsey and would definitely book again. Thank you so much Kelsey! Kate and Kenai”

“I’ve known Leilani for years, and during that time, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply she cares for animals. Whether she’s walking a dog, pet-sitting for friends, or just spending time with her own pets, she’s always patient, kind, and incredibly attentive to their needs. Animals seem to naturally feel comfortable around her, and it’s easy to see why. She treats every pet as if they were her own. Leilani is not only responsible and reliable, but also has a calm and nurturing presence that puts both pets and owners at ease. I would trust her with any animal without hesitation.”
