About: Hi! I'm Rachel, a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet just needs someone dependable while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My passion for animals extends beyond pet sitting. I'm the founder of a nonprofit dedicated to helping animal shelters save more lives through technology, partnerships, and adoption support. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely care about every day. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while giving your pet a fun, safe, and loving experience. Experience giving medication, comfortable with senior pets and puppies, experience with anxious or shy animals. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is flexible! I'm happy to work with you on scheduling and I will give 2 weeks' notice when I plan to go out of town. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll take the time to learn your pet's schedule, feeding routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. Whether that's a long walk, a game of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I'll provide the care that's best for them. I know how important communication is, so I'll send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. If I notice anything unusual, I'll contact you right away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and complete peace of mind.

About: I currently have a senior dog and a cat so I’ve had a broad range of experience with different ages of pets. I’m accustomed to giving animals medications as well as catering to an animals needs such as diet or activity level. I love all pets equally so whatever they need, I’ll give them! I currently work part time while I am finishing school. I am free during the week on Wednesday and Friday as well as weekends for walks or during the day check ins. I treat a pet as another person that I live with. I am always looking out for their needs and want to make their lives as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Whether it’s going on a walk or simply being a person to share the room with, I want your pets to have the best time possible.

About: I've always had three dogs in my household growing up at all times, at various sizes and ages. From Maltese to Saint Bernard, I've had them all. As I started my independence in adulthood, I also got a Newfoundland as my first pet by myself. I have experience with both senior and young dogs, with the ability to follow directions when it comes to medications and specializations.

About: If you ask my family who the designated pet sitter is, they'll all point to me! I'm the go-to person they trust to care for their furry family members whenever they're traveling or away for extended periods. From energetic new puppies who need patience, structure, and lots of playtime to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders, I've had the privilege of caring for pets through every stage of life. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I provide. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make it a priority to build trust with both you and your dog. I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love until you're home again. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and am always happy to care for their dogs and cats whenever they travel or need an extra hand. I also spend time each week caring for my sister's dog, so walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of love are already built into my schedule. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I have the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and any special preferences or routines your pet is used to. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll provide the care and interaction that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and tidy and ensuring your pet has a safe environment at all times. To give you peace of mind, I'll send regular updates with photos and messages so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been cared for as if they were my own.

“We’ve had Hadley take care of Nini several times now, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s reliable, caring, and always takes great care of her. Nini already recognizes her before she even comes through the door and runs over to greet her, which says it all. We’re very happy to have found her and would absolutely recommend her!”

“Alan was great with our senior kitties and communicated well during his visits. One of our cats turned out to be shy on the drop-ins, but Alan was patient and even found creative ways to get our cat to take his medicine. I would recommend Alan to a friend and would trust him again with our cats.”

About: I grew up with a dog and cat of my own, and was frequently left to watch the house and pets during family outings. Since moving out I've continued to frequently watch after my family's cats when they are out travelling. I have weekly appointments that take 1-2 hour 3 times a week. Other than that, I'm very flexible and can work around most things! I'm available for holidays! I like to try and learn about the animals individually! Learning one's personality is key to providing good care and a comfortable environment. Keeping up with the instructions left and letting the animal know I am a friend to them is the most important!

“Kaley was amazing! I could tell she really did care about my cat and enjoyed stopping in. She was responsive, flexible, and very sweet to my cat Goose. Thank you so much Kaley, I will be using you again!!!!?”

“Allie is so kind and does great work with our timid girl. Allie is patient and you can tell she is a great caregiver because she thinks of all of the little things (like placing her keys down to say hi because she knew keys might scare a nervous dog).”

Kelli M.

“Stephanie was perfect for my kitty! She came over and played with him a few times a day, picked up cat food for me since I was running low, sent pictures, & kept me updated the whole time!”

Sarah F.

“Jordyn was amazing. She was communicative, flexible and took the extra steps to ensure my dog Oby was taken care of. She took time out of her day beforehand to come and meet him, learn his routine and provided an unparalleled peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be looked after while I was gone. I cannot recommend her enough and she will be my first contact for any future trips.”

About: Hi there! I'm Sara and I am a fierce lover of animals. I am highly inclined towards gentle caregiving of all animals and I would be a great supporter of your pet's care needs! I have life-long experience caring for dogs of various sizes, and I am skilled at handling a bigger dog on a leash. I have a lot of patience for animals with special needs and more complex feeding and/or grooming routines. I also have a deep love for cats and have a lot of experience caring for a variety of breeds. I am skilled at grooming and medicating cats as well, and I have experience in helping to raise kittens. My schedule is currently very open and flexible. I am looking for a regular position as an animal caregiver, and I am willing to be flexible in maintaining the care schedule if I acquire any additional employment opportunities in the future. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends! I am all about open communication when it comes to scheduling needs and conflicts, so please do not hesitate to reach out for a chat. When it comes to caring for pets in a client's home, I demonstrate the utmost respect in caring for the physical space in whatever ways requested by the client. I am happy to submit to any background check and can provide reliable references to attest to my commitment and trustworthiness. I have two cats and one of them is very afraid of dogs, however my house allows for a good deal of separation, so a discussion with the owner to establish boundaries for care within my own home is a priority. I have a fenced-in backyard and I am happy to bring clients' dogs over to play out in the yard, weather-permitting. Overall, I am very flexible and I look forward to discussing your needs in further detail!

I have 2 cats of my own who are provided with all of their necessities and most importantly an environment where they can be free to explore safely and play constantly! I care for my cats like they are my children! And I will do the same for yours.

About: I absolutely love animals and have 2 dogs of my own - I have a frenchie-pit mix and a Belgian Malinois. I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats, I fostered dogs and cats of all ages for 4 years, and I now have 2 of my own, so I am definitely well-versed in caring for your furry friends! Whether it be a drop-in, a walk, or an overnight stay, I can assure you your pets will always be in the best of hands. I’m currently a full time medical student; my day to day schedule varies each week, some days I’m home more than others, but I’m always available for walks and care in the morning before I go in and then around 4/5pm and anytime after. Weekends I typically don’t have any work commitments so I can be more available if/when needed! I can administer meds if needed, crate dogs when I’m gone if necessary, supervise feeding time, etc. If you have any special needs for your pet just let me know!

About: I have had pets my entire life. I went through some obedience training with my last dog. My daughter is 13 and has been around dogs all her life as well. We would love to cuddle and play with your dog while they are in our care! We have a big fenced-in yard and a great neighborhood for walks. We are available to board your dog on weekends, in particular, but weekdays as well if they are able to be inside for a long portion of the day. We are also available to do evening and weekend drop ins and/or walks. We are very recently pet free so all our love will go to your pet! I work full-time, Monday through Friday. I do work one Saturday/month but have a day off in the week. My daughter is in school until 3:30. Depending on the time of year, she may be home by 3:45. She does participate in a fall sport and dance so some evenings we are gone for about 90 minutes while she is at dance class. Our weekends are generally very open, but we would not take a dog on weekends we had limited availability. We have a large, fenced-in yard and live in a family-friendly neighborhood. We would follow all guidelines for walking, bed time, feeding, etc. provided by the pet parent. We will treat your dog as our own.
