“Cassi was a great sitter for both. My animals will definitely book her again.”


“This was my first experience with Rover and Violeta set the bar very high. My cat has a lot of needs and Violeta did a great job meeting those needs and keeping me informed while I was away.”


“Andre was amazing with our 3 pups for the week with 2 drop ins per day. He was thorough in his updates and it was clear the pups loved him almost immediately. Will definitely use him again for any needs with our trio and would recommend him for anyone looking for help with their pets!”


“Molly was really great! She came over to let my dog, Zoe, out a couple times while I was gone. I got lots of pictures, she played with Zoe and made sure she had water, and Zoe really liked her.”


About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.

“Visit went well with Summer! Very attentive and genuinely wanted to get aquatinted with our pup! She’s a great fit for regular weekday walks and visits for us!”


“As a first time cat owner I was terrified to leave my baby for vacation but now I never have to worry bc Jenna was amazing! She took such great care of my little guy and will be booking her again anytime I need someone to watch my cat. The updates and photos were fantastic-truly put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands.”


About: I’ve owned 5 dogs, 2 labs, a shetland sheepdog, a boxer German Shepard mix, and a beagle. I am experienced with senior pets as well as puppies. I take care of my aunts and uncles pets when they go away. I am very comfortable with walking multiple dogs at the same time and can handle tiring out active breeds. Currently I’m preparing to go back to school and working out for sports. So I have plenty time to check up on your pets and make sure that they taken care of! Typically depending on what my clients I will either let the dog play in the back yard or I will take them on a walk. That is also dependent on the breed. With more energetic breeds I will take them on a long walk or run and with others I can let them run in the back yard and play with them.

“Abby was great. She was on time. Asked pertinent questions. Dogs were well cared for.”


About: Hello! I’m Erin, a full-time high school teacher and pet-sitter on the side. I’m an animal lover and I have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have a ton of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds and cats, as well as a few smaller animals (rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish). I’m calm, caring, and patient, with a soft spot for senior animals. I’ve had a great deal of experience caring for my own senior pets (both dogs and cats). I’ve provided care for animals with diapers, medication, and mild mobility issues. I’m also experienced in caring for diabetic cats and administering insulin, as I’ve helped two of my rescues go into remission. I strive to provide the best care possible for pets, and peace of mind for their owners! I’m currently a full time as a high school teacher, so from 7:35-3:05 on week days, I’m usually at work. If I am pet sitting during the week, I head straight to the pets at the end of the work day. On weekends, I am able to dedicate most, if not all, of the day to spending time with your pets. This is also the case over the summer. I provide pet care in client’s homes, per the directions provided by the clients. Prior to caring for your pet(s), I ask that we arrange a time for me to meet your pet(s) and go over all pertinent information regarding their care and safety.

About: What sets me apart is 15+ years of pet care experience, expertise with senior and special-needs pets, and a personalized approach to every animal’s unique needs. With my flexible schedule, I can structure my schedule around visits, walks, or check-ins, making it easy to balance with other commitments. My experience with pets ensures that providing attentive, loving care feels natural and enjoyable, whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay. With me as your sitter, your pet will be safe and comfortable in my home. With over 15 years of experience, I provide a pet-friendly, secure environment, free of hazards, where your pet will receive personalized care and attention. I ensure all pets feel at ease by maintaining their routines, offering cozy spaces, and supervising interactions with my own animals. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I have pet sat for all kinds of pets from cats, dogs, lizards even frogs! I have the most experienced taking care of dogs and cats. I also have experience administering medication and volunteering at a shelter. I recently just graduated college, and am still in the process of trying to a full time job. Since it is the summer I have a lot of extra free time! I care and respect clients homes the same as I would my own. An important part of pet sitting is to respect the pet owners space since it is a great deal of trust to give another person especially with your animal. I also know as a pet owner myself.

“We needed someone to feed and care for our cat while we were away, and Sara was great. We did a quick meet and greet before we left, and she came at the scheduled time each day we were away to care for Ginny. She sent pictures, and communicated well. Highly recommended.”


About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over four years, providing dependable in-home care, walks, feeding, and lots of one-on-one attention. In addition to that, I’ve spent the last three years volunteering at a local animal shelter in New Orleans, where I walked dogs daily and helped with kennel cleaning. Through both experiences, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including nervous rescues and high-energy pups. I’m calm, observant, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in my hands. As a recent college graduate currently focused on job applications, my schedule is extremely open and flexible. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s specific routine and needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or playtime—to make sure they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away. I take time to build trust, keep their environment low-stress, and always treat your home with the same respect I’d expect in return.

Their needs before mine always! My cats never miss a meal, same as my other animals! My dogs go outside multiple times and I always make sure to include some play time in there as well!

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My job ends at 3:30pm, allowing me flexibility in afternoons and evenings, while being totally free on weekends to tend to any dog or cat. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.

About: Ive been taking care of animals for longer than I can remember. I love it and i consider it one of my favorite hobbies.

About: Hi there! I’m Allie, and I’m a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether it’s providing fun and safe daycare, cozy boarding, or energetic walks, I’m dedicated to ensuring every pet feels loved and cared for like they’re my own. I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra TLC, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. Whether your puppy needs a buddy for long walks, a safe and loving home while you’re away, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to help! At my home, your dog will enjoy a safe and pet friendly environment. I have a cozy indoor area, a fenced in yard, nearby trails for walking, and nearby dog parks for playing. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your furry friend is in great hands. I’m currently going to school only two days a week for a few hours, so I have plenty of time to give your fur babies love and attention. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby to keep yours company. I have a doggy door to the backyard so they can come and go as they please. Your dog will enjoy a clean, well maintained space with cozy beds, plenty of toys, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. I also follow any special feeding or medication instructions.

“I highly recommend A’Ja. Her communication was great and the daily pictures always brought a smile to our face. We never worried about our pets knowing A’ja was taking care of them. Not only did she help with the pets, she also helped get our internet online so my husband wouldn’t stress.”
