“Christina exceeded my expectations with her care. Upon returning from my trip, my apartment did not smell like cat litter or poop. The cat litter area and food area was super tidy, and my cat looked happy and healthy. Christina was very communicative and detailed throughout her visits, and made me feel at ease while I was on my trip that Aria (my cat) was safe and well fed. Upon meeting Christina she was super professional, prompt, and very attentive to all of the details I gave her about feeding info and care. I would definitely book again and can recommend her to anyone who’s looking for professional care and reliability!”


“Nicole was great once again! She was easy to communicate with and I came home to a happy cat. Nicole even went back to my house one day because I got an alert from the litter robot that something was wrong. She’s very prompt in her responses and updates, which makes it easier for me to leave knowing my cat will be well taken care of 😻”


“She is the best and most patient sitter I have ever met. She not only did a fantastic job she helped my Dino start to get over his anxiety! Work in progress as it’s a journey and she has the patience of a saint!”


“Leidy took amazingly good care of Tessa. She was very punctual and made us feel at peace while traveling. She cleaned the litter tray, gave Tessa water and food and plenty of cuddles and playtime. Thanks very much, Leidy!”


About: I’ve raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets with both routine and special needs. I've fostered animals, administered medications, and even cared for pets recovering from serious illnesses like Parvo. I understand the patience, attention, and love that pets need at every stage of life—whether it's a playful pup or a senior companion needing extra care. Your pet’s well-being and comfort are always my top priority. As a student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I'm only on campus three days a week for a few hours, and the rest of the time I can do my schoolwork from anywhere. That means I’m available to spend quality time with your pet—whether it's for regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought; they’ll get the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to make sure they feel secure and at ease. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and consistent with your pet’s routine. In my home, pets have a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I always follow any instructions you provide down to the smallest detail—whether it’s feeding, medications, crate training, or just their favorite way to be petted. I also provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

“Enis is awesome. He was amazing checking in on our cat. Stayed and played with her for the time booked and she was purring the entire time in the videos he sent us. Also provided pictures. He was also very patient with some hiccups getting into our home. We would definitely book him again and recommend him to anyone with a pet. You can tell he is a true pet lover too.”


“While I was away, Tania took amazing care of my Doberman and Chihuahua. She was incredibly informative, kept me in the loop the entire time, and made being away from my dogs so much easier. She sent updates with pictures and videos, which was not only helpful but also super cute and reassuring.Both of my dogs were comfortable and clearly well cared for I could tell they were happy and relaxed with her. Tania treated them like her own and handled them with so much patience and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”


About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals throughout my life. It has always and will always be my passion. Animals are one of the best creations ever made and should be treated as such. I am making this my full time career. When your babies need me I will be there. You just tell me when and where and it will be done I don't not offer this service as I live in an apartment. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to buy a house and offer this service

“Juliana watched my cats for the first time this month and was so confident and professional. She did four days for me and was communicative and reassuring. I got great photos and updates. The boys liked her right away and so do I.”


About: Eleven years of professional pet care, including private home boarding and day care, house sitting/visits, walks, puppy/kitten care, and senior pet care. I offer flexible pick-up/drop-off and personalized attention in the comfort of your pet’s home or mine. Trust, reliability, and a deep love for animals are the foundation of my service. Your pet will be treated like family. I provide daily pet visits and walks every morning from 6am to 11am. For boarding, day care, house sitting, and extended visits, I’m available, and can be with your pet 24/7, from Friday at 5pm through Tuesday at 11am. I also offer flexible pick-up and drop-off for these services, ensuring your pet always has the attention and familiarity they deserve. When caring for pets in your home or mine, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I stay closely attentive to routines, diet, and medical needs while providing regular updates. My home is situated near a quiet, residential area, ideal for peaceful, safe walks away from busy streets, and my friendly cockapoo is always eager to keep your pet company. I maintain a calm, loving environment and happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs for an stress-free experience.


About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

“Su took very good care of our cats when we were out on vacation. She was very punctual and sent us pictures of the pets every day. I would recommend her for anyone who needs pet care.”


About: First, I am a client of Roger. I found some truly great sitters who adore my dog. I am recently retired and looking to give back to those who need a great dog sitter/walker. Since getting Moose (my 2 year old 90 pound Bernadoodle, I have fallen in love with all dogs. They steal your heart. A days notice is great but also last minute notice is ok too. I will do my best to accommodate. Only days I am not available are Mondays and Wednesdays I follow the direction of the owner. Feed as needed, walk as needed, and whatever instructions are provided. Provide a lot a play as well

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child and I love animals I have 4 dogs of my own and treat my dogs really well. I am currently working a full time week job but I have days that I am free that I’m willing to take care of other dogs I have a big back yard with a fenced in kennel for the dogs to run around and play as long as a little pool for them to drink and cool down

About: I'm a grounded, patient, and nurturing person who truly enjoys the company of dogs. While I may not have a backyard, I more than make up for it with frequent walks, park visits, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I believe in creating a calm and loving environment where dogs of all ages and energy levels can feel safe and relaxed. One of the things I’m most proud of is helping my own rescue dog grow from a timid pup, afraid of her own shadow, into a confident walker who loves the outdoors. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and empathy. Skills I bring to every dog I care for. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their furry companions, knowing I treat them like my own. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor their care to make sure they feel right at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's going for relaxing walks, offering plenty of pets and affection, or just being a calming presence nearby, I love having a furry companion as part of my routine. Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll be part of my daily life. I live in a cozy, pet friendly apartment with my sweet and well behaved female dog. I create a calm and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether that means timely meals, regular walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m attentive to their comfort, keep a tidy space, and ensure they feel at home while in my care. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my unique background and experiences. I grew up on a farm, which gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I also took on the responsibility of raising two pets on my own during my teenage/adult years, honing my skills in pet care and training. Furthermore, throughout my teenage years, I volunteered at pet shelters, developing empathy and expertise in caring for animals of all ages and breeds. Whether it's training puppies or providing senior care, my lifelong connection with animals and hands-on experiences make me a dedicated and knowledgeable pet sitter committed to ensuring the well-being of your beloved pets. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. Working from home allows me to be present for your pets throughout the day, and regularly go on walks, up to 2-miles a day. On weekends, I can further engage in your pets well being since I am an active hiker, ensuring they receive ample exercise and attention. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and enriching environment with the convenience of a fenced-in yard for playtime. I provide them with a variety of toys and maintain an outdoor camera system for added safety and security, ensuring their well-being and peace of mind for both the pets and their owners. When caring for pets in a client's home, I replicate this level of care and attention, creating a comfortable and secure environment tailored to their specific needs.
