About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat and have always loved petsitting for all my friends and family. I love going on long walks and can flex to your schedule. I work fully remote so I can either stop by in the morning, during lunch and evenings, or work from your home if you’d like. I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and will make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as best I can. I will make sure they are loved and well taken care of!
“Meg was a huge help checking on my sweet cat Birdie over the holiday weekend! She went above and beyond to make sure Birdie was taken care of—I couldn’t recommend Meg more 😁”
About: My day job at the hospital I work at is to feed my patients, groom them, clean up their poop, take them on walks, etc. I can’t wait to treat your pet with the same level of care :) I have had pets throughout my childhood, and have always taken a very active role in their care. I love animals and I am heartbroken that I am not at a stage in my life where I can commit to my own pet, but I would love nothing more than to spend time with yours. Additionally, while I am new to this app and have not professionally pet sit before, I have pet sit for my neighbors and friends countless times throughout my life. I work 3 12 hour shift a week where I will not be able to care for a pet. However, since I can work any three days of the week, I can care for one pet with no work commitments for as long as 4 days. My schedule varies, but please reach out and I would be happy to plan something. I'm mostly just doing this because I want to hang out with animals and without committing to getting my own pet, as I will be starting grad school next year and will not have time to care for a pet once that happens. In other words, if I'm caring for your pet it's not because this is a job for me. It's because I really want to hang out with your pet I have every intention of spending all my time and effort on them.
“Tala was absolutely amazing with our two cats! She was incredibly reliable, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. We especially appreciated the thoughtful videos, frequent photo updates, and detailed check-ins—it gave us total peace of mind. We would 100% book with her again any day!”

Collin E.
“I can’t recommend Collin enough! Not only is he passionate about caring for animals, but he’s also incredibly patient and understanding of their needs. My cat is pretty grumpy, and he’s wary around new people. He gets anxious easily, so I tend to not bring him around others for extended periods of time. I recently experienced long-term power outage from a hailstorm, and I let Collin watch the cat while I figured things out. I was pleasantly surprised to see how fond my cat became with Collin! It’s clear that Collin does a fantastic job in bonding with any pet he watches, and my cat has since always been happy to see him!”
