“Hannah was absolutely perfect! Each visit she left detailed messages followed up with pictures to make sure I knew my pet was well taken care of. I can fully trust that Hannah cares for him and will give him the best care. Would fully recommend!!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my genuine love for dogs, attention to detail, and commitment to making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and needs—whether that means going on long walks, playing in the yard, or just offering calm companionship. Im currently a RN and work 3 shifts per week. Looking to fill my off days with a side hustle. The days I work very week by week and can have up to a week off at times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine—feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications—so there’s as little disruption as possible.

About: Hello! I’m a dedicated and responsible student currently saving to apply to medical school. I’m also a proud dog owner of three (two energetic 5-month-old Malteses and a Chihuahua). They are truly my family, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I care for all animals as if they were my own, and I’m committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and attentive environment. I am very good at time management and can make time to walk pets. Recently, I have been enjoying more of a pet’s company more than anything. I love making time for dogs. I treat them like family. I have a fenced backyard and they are free to roam around freely. I also have a crate if needed! Safety for pets always comes first. Also, my dogs have their own air conditioning.

“Chad watched over our golden retriever for drop-in visits. He was right on time and spent time with her taking her on walks and playing ball. He always sent a picture of her at each visit. She loves Chad and we can’t wait to try boarding her with him next time.”


About: T.ender L.oving C.are of your babies while you are away: long or short-term, drop-ins, one-time, or regular care. Overnights, daily, weekly, monthly, anxiety issues, senior care, special needs — all okay! I’ve had cats, dogs, and fish since I was young. I also have previous veterinary and emergency veterinary assistant experience. I’m an experienced aquarist, plant and garden caregiver, and have hand-raised baby birds. I adore fish, guinea pigs, chickens, reptiles and amphibians too, so no worries if you have multiple pets because I take excellent care of them all! My own babies include: Hestia my newest adopted kitty, a chihuahua named Kiwi, 6 pond goldfish, 4 chickens, a bunch of plants, and I dabble in aquaponics (growing fish and plants together). I’m mature, responsible, detailed, and trustworthy. Taking clients now until my schedule is filled. Hope to see you soon! Feeding, care, play, and love — all day every day! We’ll probably listen to some music and do some howling too! We’ll take field trips to the beach as often as possible. HOUSE SITTING: I have deep respect for my client’s pets and home as I am also a property owner and property manager. I’m mature and professional and I listen carefully to important client instructions. I assure excellent care. ONSITE: 4 apartments formerly Airbnb rentals now used as pet accommodations — and a huge, fenced in backyard. We have lots of room for plenty of pets that won’t be in contact with one another (so no worries about getting along with others). All pets must have current vaccinations and must be on prescription flea/tic meds.

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. Friends and family have used me to watch their pets while taking trips. Currently not a pet owner because I signed a lease with a pet restriction. I take daily walks after work so having a dog join me would be welcomed company. My job is flexible, and I'm available on weekends Pets are not allowed at my residence, but im willing to come to your house to take care of your pet while you are busy.

“Samuel was great—took lots of pictures and clearly played with my kitten, as well as letting her drink from the sink tap which she loves. Will definitely book him again if it works out for us! Highly recommended.”


About: I’ve grown up with all types of dogs in my house and around me! I started caring for pets that aren’t mine at the ripe age of 13 and have never stopped! I’m looking forward to meeting and getting to know your fur friend! Pets are a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. As a part-time barista, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to plan my day around their needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I prioritize making sure each pet feels cared for, loved, and happy throughout the day. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll make sure they have plenty of space to roam, comfortable spots to rest, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. If your pet has a special routine, I’ll follow it closely to help them feel right at home. In your home, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost care and respect. I stick to your established routines, from feeding schedules to walk times, and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. Whether at my place or yours, my priority is ensuring your pet feels loved and well cared for.

“Heidi was fantastic. Great communication. She was flexible when we discovered we needed a different day. She fed Sadie and cleaned up her mess. We would definitely use Heidi again and recommend her to others.”


“Charlotte was a great pet sitter over my week long trip. My cat, who normal hides the whole time, came out and played with her. I love getting lots of videos and photos of my cat and that Charlotte took the time to brush him.”


About: Hello Furry Friend Lovers! My name is Kristen and I have been a dog owner and canine caretaker since I could crawl. I have professional experience working at a pet store and a veterinary clinic as a veterinary technician. Therefore, I am skilled in administering medication if needed. In addition, I will follow your pet's dietary regimen to the letter. I have experience with dogs and cats big and small, and of all ages as well as exotic pets such as rodents, bird and reptiles. I will help your dog gain their 10,000 daily "petbit" steps 😅 Right now I have 3 lovely pet rats that are like pocket puppies. I'm still mourning the loss of my long-time companion, Triskit, so I do not have dogs right now which means I have even more room to love yours!! I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! I am currently in between jobs so I am available to help take care of pets on a full time basis! Whether this is several walks a day or anything else, I am here for you and your furry friend! Animals welcomed into my home can make themselves at home. If I'm housesitting, you'll never know I what there and leave things better than I found them. Happy to stay in contact and send you pics of your furry friends while you're gone.

Landes R.
“Landes has house/cat sat for us many times. She is wonderful with both of our cats. Steve is 7 and Pippa is 1.5. When landes would stay with them she always gave them great attention. Also fed them and kept their litter clean. We are sad she moved and we can not use her anymore. Would recommend her very much!!”

Abygail P.
“Aby loves animals, and animals love her! Aby's character is very kind, joyful, and understanding and I swear that animals pick up on that instantly. She had found a litter of kittens at her job (summer camp at the time) and nursed them all due to the mother not coming back around, and adopted in one of the kittens. He's now over a year old and grown up into a big healthy cat, and is named Billy. He is one playful, sweet cat and she's raised him very well. (He's spoiled in the best way - a billion toys, fancy collars, and even a printed picture of aby is in his cat tower.) I know Billy feels loved and am 100% positive she will bring that love and care to all the little and big creatures around her!”

Kristen T.
“Kristen and I had the opportunity to watch four dogs for 7 months. We both had to share, feeding them taking them outside, Showing them we love them. One dog needed extra care with meds and cream but she did that more that I did. Kristen actually worked with a animal clinic as a vet assistant so she knows what not to give dogs and to give meds when the dog needed it when they hated the taste. She is a fellow dog mommy to her adorable dog. She is trustworthy, caring and goes above and beyond to making your dog feel at home while your away.”
