About: My name is Diego and I have a 16 year old cat and am very attentive to their needs and have had experience with senior dogs as well. Looking forward to caring for your pets as I would my own. Open to accommodate for your pet's needs. Making sure my own cat is fed in a timely manner as they are older. Take the time to brush them frequently as they are a long hair and cleaning up after them as needed. I am unable to sit for pets where I live but am open to do drop in visits to care for your pets if needed.
“Julie does a great job caring for our cats. They are very social, and she gives them the play and interaction they need in her short visits. I appreciate the frequent and open communication. When we get home from a trip, our cats are noticeably less anxious when Julie cares for them.”

“Coree gave great care to our dogs while we were away. She provided routine updates and pictures at each visit. We look forward to having her care for our dogs in the future when we are away. Our dogs were very comfortable with her, even our dog that has anxiety, which shows how compassionate she is with animals!”

“Jacob was great with communication and my animals were all taken care of despite how short notice our trip was. I cant thank him enough for easing our worries knowing how well our fur babies were taken care of.”

“Excellent first experience, will definitely use this service again. Margo was great with my pets, and provided ongoing status update about my pets. Great communication with Margo. Thank you for a great experience.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of experience and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I grew up caring for my family’s Labrador Retriever from puppyhood until his senior years at 13, giving me hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppy routines to the patience and attentiveness older dogs need. Now, I’ve transitioned into house sitting and dog walking to stay connected to that same joy and companionship. I treat every dog like my own—focused on their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m currently planning to go back to school, so I’m keeping my weekdays flexible for studying and personal commitments. That means weekends are the perfect time for me to spend quality time with pets. I love having dedicated, unrushed time to focus on walks, play, and companionship—so weekend pet care fits perfectly into my routine I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow the feeding schedule you provide, make sure they get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, all while maintaining any training or house rules you’ve set. I give lots of attention, monitor their behavior, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. I also have experience administering injections in the human medical field, so I am comfortable administering those trickier medications to your pets! My priority is making your pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away—just as they would with you.
“Julie was great! I always felt like she was taking great care of my dogs, she sent me updates and went above and beyond to let me know how they were doing! Will definitely have her back again!”

About: I grew up on a farm raising all sorts of animals. I have always had dogs in the house and love having animals around to enjoy! I work from home most days and have a more relaxed schedule during the summer which allows me to give some more attention to the pups during the day! I have a fenced in backyard. My dogs are crate trained but I do have a baby gate to prevent them from going down into the basement. They have access to roam around the house and get fresh water. I am able to monitor while I am working during the day!
