About: I have always had labs or retrievers in the house. I have trained my pets to always obey and greet people with kindness, yet still be loud with a bark when someone approaches the front door. Our dogs have always been great with kids and have never had problems with them running off. We take care of any medications, ear drops, eye drops, and of course proper diet, food, water and treats. We live on a golf course and enjoy taking our dog out for exercise. Throwing the ball or frisbee is her favorite. On sunny days we take her to the beach. We have SUV jeep to transport up to two large dogs to the beach, store or vet. We love dogs (able to handle large size dogs, puppies and older dog care) I am a retired software engineer. I do work part time which leaves me with plenty of time to help pet owners when they need it. I am a detailed oriented person. I enjoy giving your pet the attention they crave, yet staying in complete control in a calm manner. Praise is a requirement.
About: I've been volunteering to care for my friends and family's pets since before I can remember. While I’ve always owned kitties throughout my life, doggos hold a very special place in my heart. From poms to danes I've enjoyed every minute of caring for canines of any age, breed, and personality. I love to send updates and photos, and am very comfortable administering medications for both cats and dogs (injections, pills, ear and eye drops). I'm happy to walk, run, snuggle, and talk with your pet and am an expert at head scratches and belly rubs. I know all too well that one of the biggest challenges to traveling is finding care for your pet that ensures they don’t feel alone or bored while you’re away. I am happy to perform any routines that would make your pet most comfortable (Are they used to having a fetch session after dinner? Does your kitty expect snuggles on a particular chair in the living room?). Whatever level of care you need to know your fur baby is safe while you’re away, I’m here for it. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home on a loose schedule - so care at any hour is no problem! Happy to take my laptop with me to spend more time with your fur baby between virtual calls. However your pet is used to spending their day, I’m happy to oblige. In the past I’ve worked for a few hours from a client’s living room to get more snuggle time in. I’m happy to play, snuggle, feed, and care for your pet to make sure they feel the love in your absence!
About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! I always had dogs growing up and have continued to have dogs (and other pets!) throughout my adulthood. I’ve also fostered and pet sit for many friends and family members. Any size dog is just fine, I’ve had experience with dogs from 3lbs Maltese to an 85lb German Shepherd! I am familiar with administering medications and caring for senior dogs. I treat every pet as if it was my own! I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, so can be available for walks and potty breaks throughout the day. For boarding, I will be home during the weekday so your pup can keep me company! I currently do not have any other pets in my home, but may have a foster dog occasionally. I have a fenced in yard for your pup to run and play. I do also have a pool if they like to swim (I will supervise dogs outside at all times for safety). For in your home care, I will be respectful of your home, property, and privacy while giving your dog whatever care they need!
“Isabella was great! We were away for two weeks over the holidays and Isabella handled our cats perfectly. She has a calming persona that will make your pets feel comfortable while you're away. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had my current dog for 9 years and I have seen through working with him how to interact with others. It would be an honor to care for your loved one. I currently work part time and morning time I can gladly have time to get your animal ready for the upcoming day and get the energy going! I meet animals on their level, and once I get an idea of what the boundaries are, I can tailor to meet your needs similarly it is your house and that is YOUR kingdom.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals. I’ve sat with them as they gave birth and I’ve even held some as they ventured over the rainbow bridge. I work in a restaurant that has closed for the season so I have plenty of time for your precious baby. When the restaurant reopens, the hours run part time. I care for pets mainly in my home, but I do make exceptions. I understand that individual animals and their owners have individual needs. I can take same day calls as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. From small to big, puppy to senior, healthy to unhealthy. All dogs have a special place in my heart. I’ve even cared for dogs with missing limbs. My dog was my best friend and she just recently passed away. Getting a new dog is too heavy on my heart, taking care of others dogs makes me happy. Pet sitting is currently my only job. When I’m with a pet I’m usually always home all day so I have plenty of time to walk, play, feed, love and care for your best friend! I have a yard but it’s not fenced in. I have a gated porch if your pup likes to chill outside and they are fine to come in and out as they please. My neighbor has a playful dog whom I watch so if your pup wants a friend to play with I can always get them together!
“Laura is very easy to work with. She was very responsive to our short notice need. She has cared for our dogs in the past, and did a great job again today. Thank you very much, Laura!! We really appreciate it.”
“Chrissy was fantastic with my cat who can be skittish and shy with new people. She took great care of him and he ended up feeling comfortable enough to warm up & let her pet him! If I ever needed someone to watch him again I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her.”
About: I grew up having pets and have lots of experience pet sitting for others. Dogs and cats. I love being around animals and enjoy taking care of them! I am working part time right now and would love to do something during the week. I am off Monday-Thursdays. I can do weekends, I usually work from 9:30-4:00-5:00 I always make sure my pets are well fed and taken care of. I give them lots of love and attention and would do the same for your pet!

Victoria A.
“I would highly recommend Victoria for any of your pet needs. She is fantastic with animals! She truly loves and cares for every animal she comes in contact with. My pets LOVE her! I would never doubt or question her actions with my dogs. I can fully rely on her and trust she will take great care of my pets while I am away.”
Nicole V.
“If you're looking for someone with whom you can sit your pet worry-free, you have found the perfect person. Nicki is my older daughter and has been a caring, dedicated, and extremely responsible pet owner throughout her childhood and adult life. Her love for dogs was evident at a very early age, and her dog ownership has demonstrated the high level of care, which I'm guessing is what you want for your pet under her care. She is extremely knowledgeable about dog health issues, behavioral training, nutrition, as well as providing a proactive environment dedicated to their safety. I have an English Springer Spaniel who is my best buddy and bird hunting companion, and I am a 'helicopter' dog owner when it comes to his care. I am extremely scrutinous about who I would I would leave him with, and she would be my first choice. I would strongly recommend you consider her for your next sitter and do so without reservation. She's the best!! (Well, she's my daughter, so I may have a slight bias..LOL)”

Matthew H.
“Matthew is an incredibly caring and trustworthy pet caregiver. He treats every animal like his own, giving them love, attention, and the best care possible. Highly recommend!”
Mary S.Star Sitter
“Mary loves animals. She is the person I trust most with any animal. She is always kind and patient. She would always be there if a friend's pet needed help or a place to stay. Mary and her family have been in the same place for generations and everyone in our community loves her. She is simply the best.”
