About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs and have always been comfortable around them. I had a Labrador before, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and spending time with dogs. I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Animal Science in 2025 and also have some experience interning at a vet clinic, which helped me better understand animal health and behavior. Since summer 2024, I’ve been helping friends with dog sitting, walking, and boarding. I’ve done three long-term stays (over a month each), so I’m comfortable caring for dogs for extended periods and helping them settle in. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to send updates and photos while you’re away! I’m currently a student, but I have good availability in the mornings before 8am and in the evenings after 5pm, so I’m able to do walks and spend quality time with your dog during those hours. I’m also flexible on weekends and can adjust based on your pet’s routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I live in an apartment right now, but I make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable space. I take dogs out for regular walks and make sure they get enough exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any special needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease.

“Conor spent 24 hours at our home with our elderly dog overnight. We arrived home to a happy, calm pooch and our home was just as we left it. Conor was timely, respectful, communicated well and sent photos. He even left a note for when we got home. We appreciated meeting him prior to booking and will definitely use him again in the near future. Thanks Conor!”

About: Experienced caring for friends' pets, making sure they feel safe, well-fed, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. All furbabies are loved infinitely here. I currently work from home, so I have a pretty flexible routine, 5 days a week. I am available weekly and also weekends mostly anytime I follow each pet's routine, provide food and fresh water, ensure exercise and playtime, give plenty of attention, and keep owners updated regularly with texts and pictures!

“I am so grateful that Annee and I have found Jeanne. Annee will be 10 at the end of the month and the older she gets the more she enjoys staying at home. Jeanne is reliable, trustworthy, kind, and loves dogs with all of her heart. I love getting photos when I am away from Annee. I always come home to a happy, healthy dog.”

“I am so impressed with Karina and Teresa. My dogs loved them. I had never left my dogs overnight before (obviously an over protective parent) but did after a FaceTime and meeting. They did everything I asked for and some. So I couldn’t recommend them more. They sent me photos and made some recommendations for me that were right on!”

Message me with your dates and tell me a little about your pet—I’d love to provide them with loving, personalized care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m an Airbnb host and property manager, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to manage my time around the pets in my care. I’m accustomed to being organized, responsive, and attentive to details while managing a property, coordinating guests, and maintaining a welcoming, well-kept environment. I also have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and playtime, handling daily routines, and giving pets plenty of companionship and attention. Because my work is flexible and largely self-managed, I can accommodate daytime visits, walks, extended stays, and overnight care. I’m able to structure my schedule around each pet’s routine rather than expecting them to fit around a rigid workday, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, rest, and bedtime, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship along the way. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and take pride in leaving things just as I found them. As an Airbnb host and property manager, I’m accustomed to being responsible, organized, and attentive to the details that make a home feel comfortable and well maintained. Most importantly, I take the time to get to know each pet individually. Some thrive on activity and attention, while others prefer a quieter pace and a little space. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care that keeps your pet happy and comfortable—and gives you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Zoey is a reliable and friendly sitter who I felt very comfortable leaving my 7 year old dog with for the weekend. She sent a photo shortly after she arrived and always responds promptly to my texts. She left my home neat and clean and my dog appears to have enjoyed her company. I've already made plans to hire her again.”

“Jess was great! Very communicative and took great care of my little old lady!”

“Merina was an amazing pet sitter. She left my home and my pets very happy! She was very professional and personable, kept in contact with me with how the animals were doing while we were gone, and I can’t wait to book her again!”

Miri N.

“Kaitlin was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish and kept me updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, she took amazing care of my dogs. They looked genuinely happy, relaxed, and well loved in every update. It was obvious they were getting plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly caring, Kaitlin is an outstanding choice. I would gladly book her again without hesitation!”

“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”

I can also water plants, bring in mail, etc.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shelby. She ended up being at our home when our elderly dog passed away in the night. She handled everything with care and compassion.”

About: I can't imagine my life without animals. My family has owned several different species of animals since I was born, and I now own a standard poodle and domestic short hair cat. I understand they are not just an animal, but a member of the family who needs to be treated as such. I am comfortable walking, grooming, and feeding any size and aged dog. Walking can either be at a slow pace, or jogging, I just have to be informed prior. If I am dog sitting, I will be sure to give extra pets and loving to each animal, and can also groom the dog if requested. Looking for consistent clients.

As a Division I student-athlete at the University of New Haven, I have learned how to manage a busy schedule and stay organized.

This allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve while still balancing my responsibilities as a student-athlete.
