“For nine days, Katie took great care of my two cats, one of which has to take 2 pill medications every day. My cats and their space looked clean and well kept when I returned. Katie also brought in my mail and any deliveries that came each day. I highly recommend her.”

“Brianna was great at watching my dog and cat over a long weekend. She came over to meet my dog Goose who can be a handful for some but they got along instantly. I could tell she really loved animals and knew what she was doing. I trust her completely and will absolutely be rebooking. She sent me such cute photos and it made me feel so great to know they were well taken care of! Thanks again!!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was about four years old, and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve raised and cared for a wide variety of animals—from chameleons, birds, and rabbits to cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve grown up around larger breeds like Pitbulls, German Shepherds, and American Bulldogs, so I’m confident and comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs just as much as more sensitive or exotic animals. What truly sets me apart is my hands-on experience with pets who have complex health needs. My sweet French Bulldog, Luna, has IVDD, GI sensitivities, seasonal allergies, recurrent UTIs, and has even battled sarcomas. Her care has taught me how to be deeply attentive, gentle, and proactive, and has inspired me to continually educate myself about animal health—from preventive care to chronic illness management. I’m experienced in giving medications, managing restricted diets, adapting physical routines, and keeping a close eye on subtle changes in behavior or comfort. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, understood, and loved, no matter what they’re going through. Even animals that are shy, stubborn, reactive, or hard to read tend to warm up to me—maybe because I meet them with patience, calm energy, and genuine love. Whether they’re high-energy or low-maintenance, I learn their rhythms and give them the care and attention they need to thrive. I’ve also worked with delicate animals like chameleons, who are highly sensitive to their environment and require a careful, knowledgeable approach. Whether your pet is furry, scaly, feathered, big, small, or somewhere in between—I’ve got the experience, heart, and adaptability to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free. I’m also very reasonable, reliable, and responsive. I know how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. I’d be honored to give you peace of mind—and give your pet the attention, comfort, and fun they deserve while you get a well-earned break from being a full-time pet parent. 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m available weekends, and weekdays after 4:30 PM, with the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays. Whether it’s a quick walk, a longer visit, or a few hours of play and care, I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and affection they need. I plan ahead and stay flexible so I can offer dependable care, even on short notice when needed. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I’m especially experienced in managing more complicated care routines, thanks to my day-to-day life with Luna, my Frenchie who has IVDD, GI sensitivities, recurrent UTIs, seasonal allergies, and a history of sarcomas. Her care has made me detail-oriented, patient, and highly attuned to subtle signs of discomfort or health changes. I follow all feeding, medication, and activity instructions carefully and make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free of hazards—especially for pets with mobility or health limitations. I respect your pet’s usual routine and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners so you feel informed and confident every step of the way. Building trust—with both pets and their people—is always my top priority, and I treat every animal with the same level of love and care I give my own.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy, reserved cats. I’ve boarded cats in my home, done drop-in visits for multi-cat households, and always make sure pet parents feel connected while they’re away. I send regular updates with photos and videos so you’ll never have to wonder how your pets are doing—you’ll see they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. In addition to cats, I also have experience with dogs and even tortoises, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to give them the attention and love they deserve. Since I work part-time evenings, I have plenty of daytime flexibility for pet care. I enjoy making cat care part of my regular weekly routine. I create a safe, calm environment by keeping areas clean, securing doors and windows, and sticking to the pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I absolutely ❤️ animals and have "always" had pets in my life from the very beginning. I've cared for SO many different animals in my life; such as: dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, fish, etc. Over my adult years, I've cared for friends and family members pets when needed. 5 years back, I took on the responsibility of caring for grandpa's dog due to his increasing illness. Bottom line, I love animals and want them all to get the love and attention that they want and deserve whether from their parent/parents or from myself in the short amount of time they grace us with in this world. I'm currently a freelancer, so I make my own schedule. Thus, I can move things around to better fit the needs of you and your fur babies if needed. Then, I don't travel much and can be there for those who do. Safety is of the utmost importance to me because it's what I'd want for all my babies, weather it's my 2 legged or my 4 legged child. I'd make sure things that may be harmful are always put up and put aways. Before walking, I'd make sure the area is safe and animals are always leashed up for the entire walk.

“This was our first time working with Dani and we'll have absolutely no hesitation in booking her services again. Dani looked after our two cats, twice daily 30 min drop-ins, for 6 days. We had an initial meet-and-greet a few days before where it was instantly clear that she understood cats. She didn't go in to pet them immediately, let them sniff around her, and spoke in gentle, soothing tones. Whilst we were away Dani sent us detailed report cards aboiut what had been done (water bowl refresh, feeding, litter, play) as well as the mood of each cat and some details about their play. She also sent us a TONNE of excellent photos: of the litter and food but also of our cats playing. It was really clear from the photos that the cats were relaxed and comfortable and that she really understood how to engage them in play! Dani was an excellent cat-sitter, highly recommended! :3”

About: Hi, I'm Tisha! I’ve always loved animals! I personally have 3 dogs: Banzo (8), an Australian Shepherd, Nugget (10), an American Eskimo mix, and MJ (12), a chiweenie mix. Also, I have a tabby cat named Tamago and one goldfish, Buey (2). I’ve cared for Banzo since he was a puppy. And I have adopted Nugget since he was about 1 and MJ I adopted more recently as a senior. Tamago our cat found me, and I have helped her even give birth to her 6 kittens. My dogs are all trained from commands to potty training, to even crate training. Growing up I also had a maltipoo who lived to be 18 and a tabby cat who lived to be 14. My favorite thing about my pets is coming home and seeing them and seeing how excited they are to see me. I can ensure that I will take care of your fur baby like one of my own. I'll promise to provide safety, socialization and fun. I love my pets and care for them deeply, they’re like my kids! And I can ensure I will love yours too. Pet care is something I can fit into my schedule as I typically work from home for part of the week and I have flexibility on the weekends. My dogs are friendly and are very well trained they tend to mind their own business. As well my cat tends to do her own thing and isn't afraid of dogs. If need be my dogs are crate trained if there needs to be any separation.

About: Since being overseas, I helped care for a wide variety of dogs, of plenty of sizes, breeds, ages and temperament. I pride myself on my willingness to work with your pet to find a connection that works for all of us. I am currently a student with my days typically free, as I schedule my work times on the weekends, so during the week pet care is a top priority. As long as I get a rundown of things you and your dog are comfortable with, I will be sure to stick to it. I strive to create and enriching and safe environment for your fur babies.

“If I could give 10 stars to Dana Chloe, I would! She is a wonderful communicator, very responsible, has each pet's welfare in mind in everything she does. She is holistically, minded and reliable. Never once did I worry while we were away. She is loving and kind and thoughtful--everything you could ever want in a pet sitter and more! We would be thrilled to have her back!”

“Liz is so great! She’s warm and friendly and adores animals! She was patient and kind with our somewhat nervous dog and our dog was able to warm up to her. I’ll definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! With 15 years of pet passion, I've been a loving caretaker to 1 dog and 3 cats.

About: As a pet sitter, my experience revolves around maintaining a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable environment for pets while their owners are away. The day typically begins with feeding according to the pet's dietary schedule, ensuring that water bowls are always filled with fresh water. Regular walks and playtime are essential to keep the pets physically active and mentally engaged. Beyond basic care, I also take time to bond with the pets, offering companionship, affection, and positive reinforcement to ease any anxiety they might feel from their owner's absence. My goal is not only just to take care for the pet, but also to make sure they feel loved and secure until their family returns. Both me and my wife are self-employed and working from home full time. We have plenty of time to walk with the dogs at least two times a day, and play with them throughout the day. I don't have my own pets in the home right now. I have a fenced yard that can prevent pets run away. I always check my surrounding before I opened the door make sure no pets can run out. I always keep the leash on while I am walking the dog.
