About: I have had family dogs since I was 10 years old, and they are always treated with love! My family consistently took on dogs that were abandoned, rather than buying from breeders. We love all animals, but dogs have been a huge part of my life/family for over a decade! They all deserve good TLC. I look forward to meeting your little ones! I would mostly be available weekends, however if you're in need of a sitter on weekdays, my schedule can fluctuate. I would make time for them in between work Monday - Thursday, Fridays are a shorter day at work for me, so I am not worried about them being at home for a bit. I'll always make sure to prioritize them when they're in my care! I live in a fobbed apartment community, so no one can get into the complex on any floor without keys/fob. My dogs have a balcony that they love to relax on during sunny days, and just lounge to people watch. They enjoy long walks in the neighborhood, but get tuckered out pretty fast cause they're getting up there in age, and they're short guys. There is a dog relief area on the roof that they love running around on as well. I have my own treats and food schedule for them that they are accustomed to, but its very consistent. If consistency is important for your loved fur baby, I will make sure to keep that in tact.

“Hannah is the best! She is communicative and responsible. She took perfect care of our two cats while we were out of town. One of our family members let our indoor cats outside and Hannah went over and found them and put them safely back inside. We’ll always use her!”


“She’s great took great care of our three kitties and met them everyday. She very diligently sent us pictures and followed all the instructions. Thanks very much! 🤍”


About: I have good experience babysitting cats and dogs of different breeds and personalities . I’m patient, and a loving person. Reliable and responsible person. Also looking to exercise more with a furry companion. I am open to do first meetings :) I’m current between jobs, and waiting for my graduation. Looking to do extra cash meanwhile ☺️ I have time to do walks and feeding visits. My apartment is safe with security all day and night. I live with my cat therefore all risks have been taken away for cat safety.

“Alison was totally reliable, did what needed to happen, and sent me updates and pictures. Very happy with her and would definitely ask her to care for my dog again!”


“Ian took good care of Amadeus and was available during a busy holiday weekend which is super appreciated. However - I’m typically super hands off with sitters - I barely read the chats unless there’s an emergency, and trust that the sitter will be there on time and care for Amadeus. Unfortunately I had to have a lot of back-and-forth with Ian due to being late because of other commitments, miscommunication over chat etc. So I had to keep checking if Amadeus was being fed on time etc., which is not a good experience when on a trip. Overall good experience and I’ll recommend Ian, but better communication and punctuality would be great.”
