Emily is absolutely wonderful. Super caring and great with pets. She’s great at sending pictures of my pups when she does visits, and always picks up the phone. I wouldn’t want to have anyone else watching my pups!!

I have booked recurrent home visits for my puppy with Tristin. She is very good and confident with my puppy. She will help switch the pee pads, do tricks, take him out and makes sure to leave him a Kong before leaving. I love her attention to details. When she comes over he gets excited and she does a great job tiring him out. I highly recommend her.

About: I bring hands-on rescue experience into every pet I care for. As a cat rescue director, I’ve worked with everything from fragile bottle babies to shy, under-socialized cats and seniors with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for subtle health changes, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets who need extra patience. What really sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior and adapt quickly—whether that means giving a nervous pet space, engaging a high-energy puppy, or providing gentle, consistent care for seniors. I don’t just “watch” pets—I build trust with them. I also treat every home and pet like my own, keeping routines consistent, communication clear, and sending regular updates so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in. I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get reliable, attentive visits and plenty of time for feeding, play, and companionship. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, which allows me to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Because of my background in rescue work, I’m used to planning my days around animal care needs—whether that’s quick drop-ins, extended stays, or extra time for pets who need a little more attention. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests, medications, or unique routines to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are at the core of how I care for every pet. Whether I’m in your home or hosting in mine, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and predictable environment. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, litter box or potty habits, medications, and favorite activities. I keep doors secured, double-check entry points, and make sure your pet is always accounted for. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, quiet, and low-stress environment with safe, pet-friendly spaces. Pets are supervised, never overcrowded, and introduced carefully (if applicable). I separate animals when needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable and safe. With my rescue background, I’m experienced in handling shy, anxious, or special-needs pets. I pay close attention to behavior and health, and I’m prepared to respond quickly if anything seems off. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: Growing up around Forster dogs and family pets, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and care. I am a full-time college who is currently off for summer break. I have plenty of time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I love. I will care for every pet as if they are my own. Each pet’s normal routine will be followed closely. With my own dog, we go on walks twice a day, and he also has a back yard to play in.

I did a meet and greet with Victoria and it went really well. I had to do it last minute and Victoria made it happen and came over to meet my baby Jada. I look forward to having Victoria come over and do walks, dinner, sleepovers and anything else that would fit. Victoria is the real deal.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Starting watching other people’s animals around 5 years ago. i also have three dogs of my own and used to have a rabbit which was a lot of work and prepared me for more and more. I change around my schedule around it as pets deserve the same attention humans do. They are just as emotional as we are and compassionate. I keep them on leases when needed and keep them in instructed area; fenced in yard, harness, crate, gated area, etc. just basically whatever requirements needed.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have a 9-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand the patience, attention, and care pets need at every stage. I also grew up with cats, which helped me become comfortable with different personalities and routines. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I care for my 9-year-old Golden Retriever every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I also grew up with cats, I’m comfortable handling different routines and personalities, and I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific rules for the pet or home. Since I have a 9-year-old Golden Retriever, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and recognizing each pet’s personality and needs. I treat every home with respect and make sure everything is clean and left as it was.

About: I have been a dog lover and owner most of my life. I currently have a longhair dachshund named Ollie who does get along with other dogs. I’ve grown up around horses so I am comfortable with even the biggest of dogs. Im always up for an adventure through the woods or taking a walk along the water somewhere. Would love to meet and care for the four legged member of your family and provide the same love and attention to them as my own dog. I am available for: dog walking, dog sitting (your home or mine), dog visits and much more. I take great pride in how I interact with animals, I feel they listen better than most people I know haha. I do work full time during the weekdays but I am available in the evenings and on weekends. I also live with my boyfriend and he is home usually before me during the week. I treat all animals with love and patience. Every dog is different and I take my time getting to know their personality and quirks so they feel safe around me.

Our dog care arrangements fell through 3 days before we were leaving for vacation. We knew that she wouldn't do well in a boarding situation. We met Brianna and she was a good fit. Our dog Alma really liked her during our meet and greet. We felt comfortable leaving her at home with Brianna doing drop in visits. We arrived home last night to a happy dog. Receiving the visit updates reassured us that Alma was in good hands. We definitely will use Brianna again

About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since childhood, and over time it naturally became a passion. I have experience with cats, large and small dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and currently I have a rabbit of my own. I am also an exotic pet lover. I have always researched and studied a lot about animal care and health, I like to go beyond the basics to make sure I can provide the best care for my pets. One of my biggest challenges (and achievements) was training my rabbit at home <3 I have always been very attentive with my pets’ health, I even had a personal veterinarian for all of them, including routine check-ups for my hamster haha. For me it is really easy to have a connection with animals and quickly build trust with them, which helps me understand their needs and behaviors. I truly hope to become a veterinarian in the future and continue dedicating my life to animal care. I believe that any living being that is dependent and innocent deserves the highest level of care, love, and protection possible. I currently work part-time, but due to the low season I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to adapt easily to each pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care throughout the day. I live in a gated community, in a apartment with a lot of space. The condominium offers a dedicated dog park with a fenced area where dogs can safely run and play, as well as walking trails for daily exercise. If needed, I can also share photos of the environment so you can feel fully confident and comfortable about where your pet will be staying <3

About: I’m someone who’s grown up with every kind of pet you can imagine, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. For over 10 years, I’ve raised puppies from the ground up, which means I know the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle guidance. I also have experience with senior pets and understand how to provide comfort, medication, and extra tender loving care when it matters most. Every pet in my care gets treated like family. Whether your pet needs a structured routine, extra playtime, or simply a calming presence, I treat every animal like my own—with love, attention, and a strong sense of responsibility. I’m currently at home full-time while caring for a family member recovering from major surgery, which means my schedule is open and flexible. I’m available every day for drop-ins, walks, or extended visits—perfect for giving your pets the attention they deserve. No two pets are the same, which is why I provide personalized care based on age, energy level, and temperament. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, and everything in between—so I know how to adjust my approach to keep them happy and healthy. Your pet gets my full attention, every visit, every time. I create a calm, safe space where your pet can feel secure and loved. I follow their routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play, and downtime, because consistency matters. I’m able to provide personalized care based on each pet’s specific condition, including mobility support, dietary needs, and regular monitoring. I am also comfortable administering all types of medication—oral, topical, injectable, or through specialized methods—following veterinarian instructions carefully. I’m attentive to body language, energy levels, and emotional cues, so your pet always gets the right care for their needs and personality.

It was our first time using Olivia to care for our 2 cats, Stella and Roxy, and it won’t be our last. She formed a relationship with Stella, and before long Stella was in Olivia’s lap, getting a lot of love. Roxy is very shy, and with her horrendous background, it is very hard to seek any relationships, except from her parents, but Olivia worked hard to gain her trust, and at the very end, Roxy came out to say hi, even if it was from afar. Our vacation was wonderful, knowing that our cats were being taken care of by Olivia.
