About: I have over 10 years of personal experience caring for my own cat, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding animals’ individual personalities. In addition to feline care, I’ve also looked after guinea pigs during spring break, ensuring they had a clean habitat, fresh veggies, and plenty of gentle attention. I’ve cared for dogs belonging to family friends, helping with feeding, walks, and playtime, always making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I’ve also had the opportunity to watch over a variety of pets for a few hours at a time, adapting quickly to their needs and routines. No matter the species, I approach every pet with kindness, respect, and a genuine love for animals. I’m currently enrolled in online college courses, which gives me the flexibility to create a balanced and adaptable schedule. Since my classes are self-paced and remote, I’m available for pet care throughout the week—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Typical Daily Routine: • Morning (8am–11am): Morning walks, feedings, litter box cleanings, or drop-in visits • Midday (11am–3pm): Pet sitting, extended playtime, companionship, or check-ins (can adjust as needed) • Afternoon/Evening (3pm–8pm): Walks, dinner feeding, medication (if needed), or overnight care setups • Night (8pm onward): Available for overnight care, evening check-ins, or late-night drop-ins (on request) Weekly Flexibility: I’m available 7 days a week and can adjust my schedule based on your pet’s needs—whether it’s a one-time drop-in, recurring walks, weekend sitting, or extended stays. My online classes allow me to stay local and dependable all summer long. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety always come first. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that fits smoothly into both of our routines. Why You Can Trust Me with Your Pet As a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own cat, as well as looking after dogs, guinea pigs, and a variety of other pets, I understand how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your furry family member. Whether I’m welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in yours, I make safety, comfort, and reliability my top priorities. In Your Home: When I pet sit in your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I keep things tidy, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Dog Walking: For dog walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and choose safe walking routes based on your dog’s size, energy level, and comfort. I take the time to build trust with each dog, making sure every walk is not just good exercise but also a positive experience. However, I own a cat who doesn’t like strangers or strange animal that come in her home With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I’m committed to giving your pet the same care and attention I’d give my own. You can trust that they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for—whether it’s for an afternoon walk or a week-long stay.

“Ella helped us out last minute and was wonderful with our dogs. Their adventuring means we came home to sleepy pups which is the best way to end a vacation!”


“Natalie was great! She stayed with my little pup while we were out of town and I felt confident the entire time that she was being well taken care of. I will be reaching out again in the future!”


About: I trained my golden retriever to be a service animal for myself and he has served me incredibly for over 11 years! Training him has taught me a lot and I am extremely capable in handing dogs. Prince and I have our daily routine so dogs are just always in my life and I am not complaining! Happy to help however I can! Prince is trained off leash, but I am aware most dogs need to be on leash. I can walk multiple dogs at a time if needed and am here to ensure they have a great, calm experience.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs a lot of playtime or a senior dog who loves a slow, peaceful walk, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and temperaments, including pets who may be shy, anxious, or need extra patience and care. Safety and comfort are always my top priority-I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re my own. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care with lots of love, attention, and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I believe in clear communication, prompt responses, and going the extra mile-because that’s what pets deserve! Let me know how I can support your pet’s happiness and well-being! I’m currently on summer break from full-time studies, so I have open availability for daytime, evening, and weekend bookings! I’m working part-time, but my flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, loving care for your pets. Let’s find a time that works best for you and your furry friend! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I create a calm, nurturing environment where pets feel secure, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. I follow your care instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on behavior and surroundings, and always use secure leashes and harnesses. You can trust that your furry friend will be treated with kindness, patience, and the same care I’d give my own. Communication is key-I’ll keep you updated so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
