About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.

“Sherrie was amazing! She took such great care of our pup during the drop in visit, lots of love, and attention to details. It’s clear she truly cares. Can’t wait to book her again! 🐾”


“Sangah took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! We just needed drop-in visits to make sure Jojo had enough food and water, and Sangah was super reliable and sent nice updates every day! Definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”


“Layla was great! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the booking with sending pictures and updates. I felt that my cat Magnus was well taken care of. I would definitely book her again!”


About: Love love love animals. Over 20 years with pets of my own and pets of friends and family. Pet care is more than just a hobby, it's a passion for me. As a cat dad and pup uncle, pet care isn't a chore to me - it's part of my everyday routine that I look forward to. My work schedule is flexible, so I always find additional time to look after fur babies. Whether your fur baby is a dog or a cat, they'll be safe with me. Every pet has their own personality. Part of the fun is learning about them and what makes them feel at ease.

About: I’ve taken care of my chihuahua for 8 years and a Golden Retriever for 2years. I can take care of your fur baby as well. I am currently free on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays and can care for pets. I would love to accompany pets when their pet parents are not available. I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable during my drop in visit and during walk time. Pictures can also be sent for further assurance.

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, starting from the age of 7 when I first fell in love with my furry companion. Additionally, I worked at an animal hospital for 9 months, gaining valuable hands-on experience in pet care. One of my strengths is my ability to patiently wait for dogs, which I believe is crucial for successfully modifying their behavior. I am truly grateful for the continued connections I have made with dog owners who have entrusted me with their beloved pets. While I miss my own furry friend back in Korea, I would love the opportunity to care for your dog as if they were my own. I am happy to provide detailed diary entries and photos of our adventures together, so that you can stay connected to your furry friend while you're away. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a pet care session. I adore all dogs and look forward to the chance to help you and your furry friend! Thanks to my flexible work-from-home position during the COVID-19 pandemic, my schedule is very accommodating to pet care needs. I am available to take dogs out for playtime whenever it fits within their routine, and I have the entire weekends free to provide care and companionship to furry friends. With years of experience caring for my own furry friend who lived to the age of 17, I am well-equipped to provide top-notch care to older dogs as well. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the block or a brisk walk through the park, I am committed to providing the exercise and attention your dog needs to thrive.

About: I’ve had a pet for almost my whole life, I was always a care giver since I was 4, from changing my baby brothers diaper to taking my dog to the park and bathing, feeding her. I know everyone deserves love and I love to spread love ❤️ I know what’s it like to go on try to go on a trip and not finding a pet sitter or someone to feed your pet, then not going to the trip :/ but luckily I am here for you pet owners!

I get constant breaks, I would be able to walk any nearby neighbor dogs in specific time frames for you I have a huge backyard and a very friendly one year old puppy that loves to play and take naps! They eat a specific time every day and sleep either on the couch or floor. We make our own natural treats for our dog, like dried sweet potatoes! We would gladly feed and have fun with your dog with your consent of course!

About: I had a dog from age 11 to 14, and that’s really where it started. I was the one feeding him, walking him, cleaning up after him, basically learning firsthand what it means to actually care for a dog. Now I’m studying psychology in college, and I’ve been diving into dog behavior and body language on the side and I love it. I’m currently working part time and looking for another way to spend my time so i’d be more than welcome to look after your cats or dogs, whatever is needed. My availability changes weekly due to my part time job, but I’m very flexible. Book at least 3 days ahead and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I only do pet care at clients homes, and I’m always respectful of your space. I don’t touch anything that doesn’t need to be touched, and I make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

I am currently working part time looking to go back to school I have been dog sitting and Baby sitting along with it to get by and cover expense as I just recently lost my dad. Your pet’s safety is my top priority — whether we're out for a walk or relaxing at home. In every Flint neighborhood, I stay alert and choose safe, pet-friendly routes. I use secure, well-fitted harnesses or leashes, avoid busy or hazardous areas, and keep pets away from unfamiliar animals. In your home, I follow your care instructions to the letter, ensure all doors and gates stay closed, and never leave pets unattended. You can trust that your furry friend is in safe, loving, and experienced hands every step of the way.

“Absolutely wonderful! This was the first time I left my furbabies overnight and Ronde put my mind at ease! I loved seeing all the pictures and updates on how the boys were doing. She's quick with responding to messages and was awesome with my boys quirky meal routines (and their personality quirks, lol!). Highly recommend and definitely will be rebooking with Ronde in the future!”


About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I bring hands-on experience caring for both large and small dog breeds, such as Rottweilers, cane corsos, and pitbulls. My background includes professional dog training, a previous role at a veterinary office, and ongoing volunteer work at a local animal shelter. This well rounded experience allows me to provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care that sets me apart from other pet sitters. As long as it is after 2 PM I am able to pet care up until 9 PM. I have a rotating schedule so my off days are different, but depending on when you will book if it lands on an off day, I am free all day. I live alone with my 3-year-old Pitbull, who unfortunately does not do well with other animals. Because of this, I’m unable to host pets in my home. However, I offer reliable services including walks, home check-ins, basic training, and quality time tailored to your pet’s needs. While I live in an apartment, there is a shared yard on the property and a park just a short walk away. Your pet will always have my full attention and care.

About: Hi! I’m Eden—a lifelong animal lover with a warm, grounded approach to pet care. I was born and raised on a farm in Louisiana, where I cared for dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and more from a young age. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in any situation, and give every pet the care they need to feel safe and loved. Now living in Jersey with my partner, I pet sit full-time and truly love what I do. My home is especially great for senior dogs—it's stair-free, quiet, and cozy, with plenty of space for your pup to relax. I also offer free transportation for any pets staying in my home, so drop-offs and pick-ups are completely stress-free. I’m also fantastic with puppies! I’m patient, playful, and consistent with routines, which makes me a great match for young dogs learning the ropes. Whether your pet is full of puppy energy or in their golden years, I provide tailored care with lots of love, attention, and experience. When your dog is with me, they’re family. I’d love the chance to meet your furry best friend and make them feel right at home! Pet care works perfectly for me because I’m a working actress, and I pet sit full-time in between gigs. It allows me to have a flexible schedule, give animals my full attention, and spend my days doing something I genuinely love. Whether I’m home or out on walks, your pet always has a calm, present, and caring companion. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or sensitivities. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment with no stairs—perfect for senior pets. I also offer free transportation to make drop-off and pick-up stress-free for both pets and owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow your specific instructions closely—from feeding schedules to favorite toys—so your pet stays comfortable in their own familiar space. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Trust is everything, and I work hard to earn it from both pets and their people.

“I was so stressed about finding someone to care for my big dog, but Xiyan was an absolute lifesaver! She was very confident and extremely patient with him.

To my surprise, however, he behaved so well with her and absolutely loved her! I can't thank her enough for her incredible help.”

While I was away, Jasmin sent regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was so clear she genuinely cared about his well-being and happiness. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog—and that’s the best feeling in the world. If you’re looking for someone kind, dependable, and amazing with animals, Jasmin is your go-to. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again!”


Eden J.
“I’ve trusted Eden to care for my 14-year-old corgi, Charlie, for the past two years, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly! Charlie is an older dog who needs a gentle and patient sitter, and she has always treated him with so much love and care. Whether she’s watching him at her house or stopping by mine, I know he’s in great hands. One of the things I really appreciate is that she even offers free pick-up when Charlie stays at her place, which makes things so much easier for me. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and takes the responsibility seriously. Charlie always comes home happy and relaxed—which says everything. If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and experienced—especially with senior dogs—she’s the one!”
