Pet Sitting Harbor Gateway

About: Hi! My name is Maimu. When I lived in Japan, I always had dogs and cats as pets, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I provide calm, attentive care and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and regular potty breaks. I’ll keep your home tidy and communicate clearly, with photo updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My availability for walks is currently mainly: * Morning: 6:30 AM–8:00 AM * Evening: 5:00 PM–7:00 PM On some days, I may also be available during the day—please send me a message and I’ll let you know my availability. My schedule can vary depending on childcare, so please contact me in advance to confirm dates and times. Safety is my top priority, and I always supervise interactions and follow your instructions carefully. I can also run with your dog, so jogs/runs are very welcome! I know it can be stressful to trust someone else with a beloved dog or cat—they’re family. I take time to build trust with both you and your pet, and I’ll do my very best to provide thoughtful, individualized care. Pet care works well with my weekly routine because I organize my schedule around visits and walks. I’m currently available from 6:30–8:00 AM and 3:30–7:00 PM, and I always do my best to reply promptly. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, and I keep doors and gates secure. I always use a leash outdoors unless you tell me otherwise, avoid risky situations, and monitor body language for stress. In your home, I keep the space clean and tidy, refresh food and water, and send photo updates. If anything seems unusual, I contact you right away.

About: Animal lover! I’ve taken care of many different type of pets- big, small, young, and old. I have extra love and patience for seniors pets <3 I’m currently working part time with a somewhat flexible schedule. I’m available all day on the weekends but only available all day on some weekdays. I’ll make sure all food/bathroom areas are clean and home is secured before leaving. I can follow instructions, no matter how specific or silly they can be.

“Shannon went above and beyond in caring for our two cats! I appreciated her for jumping in for our sort of last minute request and doing such a great job. She communicates well, asks great questions — and her updates and pictures gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. She also got the cats to warm up to her so quickly so huge plus. Highly recommend”

“We were so happy to have Elle drop by and feed our cats. She was attentive and sent pictures and updates which put our minds at ease. Highly recommend.”

“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family had two dogs that I helped care for throughout my childhood, which taught me the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and consistent care. More recently, I’ve cared for my boyfriend’s cousin’s cats while house-sitting, including feeding them, keeping them company, and making sure they were comfortable while their owner was away. I’ve also stayed overnight to watch my neighbors’ dogs, giving them attention, playtime, and companionship in their own home. In my current role as a caregiver for a young girl with autism, I also help care for the family’s home, including cleaning the cat’s litter box each week. My caregiving experience has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to detail—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. While I may not have formal professional pet care experience yet, I take every responsibility seriously and understand how important it is to earn your trust. I will treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and care that I would give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently have a flexible summer schedule with weekday mornings, evenings, and Sunday mornings available. Pet care is a priority for me, and I’ll always keep my Rover calendar updated as my graduate school schedule changes. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of individualized care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, respect their home, communicate openly, ask questions when needed, and always prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.

About: I have taken care of cats since I was a child with my mom. Always have been having 2 cats.. I have had a dog only for fostering for 2 months but I love them too. I feed cats, clean the litter box and check their condition and brush daily. I’m currently working with a part time job so I have a plenty of time hanging out with your cats or puppies. I’m available for drop-in, dog walk and daycare on weekdays 8am-6pm. At home, we provide a room, handmade toys, multiple water bowls, cat towers, window side beds and 3 litter boxes for 2 cats. I want them to feel comfortable. I just love hanging out with animals.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and daily routines. Whether it’s energetic puppies, playful cats, or senior pets who need extra care and attention, I’m committed to providing the same care and affection I would give my own pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during mornings, weekends, and other available times throughout the week. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and can dedicate quality attention to making sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress, so I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have.

“Great doggy skills; my pups love Deb and are so happy when she comes to visit!!!”

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved animals deeply. I remember sneaking my little chihuahua Feisty into my room every night. That deep love for animals has never changed. I’m incredibly empathetic, passionate, and I truly believe animals deserve to be loved, understood, and cared for. I know it’s stressful to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I want to be that person for you. My experience spans more than ten years, caring for a vast variety of animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and so much more.. As a Registered Behavior Technician, I understand positive reinforcement and how to address undesired behaviors while maintaining your dog’s dignity. My own dog Georgina knows numerous commands and responds beautifully because of these techniques. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making sure your fur baby feels loved and happy while you’re away. I’m available for house sitting, potty break visits, and dog walks. I hope the photos I added on my profile brought you some giggles. I'll be sure to capture those candid moments of your fur babies along with detailed updates. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of availability for pet care. I offer housesitting, dog walking and daily visits. Let me know what times works best for you and I'll confirm when I can accommodate. I offer housesitting, daily visits for potty breaks, and dog walking. I adhere closely to all your detailed instructions and care preferences to ensure your pets safety and comfort.

“My wife and I were in a pinch and needed to find someone trustworthy to provide drop-in visits for our 4 month old puppy during the day. We were honestly a little nervous using Rover but Vanessa quickly put all our worries to rest. We appreciate her constant communication with us as well as her overflowing affection for our pup during her visits! She’s amazing.”

About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.

“Allen was great - showed up on time and interacted very sweetly with my dog. My dog is blind and he took special care to make sure my pet was comfortable.”

Jennifer T.

“So sweet and wonderful to work with! She communicated clearly the whole time, my dogs absolutely loved her, and she took great care of my home while I was away. I felt totally at ease knowing everything was in good hands. Highly recommend and would totally book again.”

“Velvet was great with our boys, who can be a handful. We appreciate her communication and excellent photography skills. Any cat would be in good hands with Velvet.”

About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is I’ve been a pet owner nearly my entire life. Before I learned to read I was a cat owner. By the time I was in middle school I was a dog owner. I love animals of all sizes, temperaments, and breeds. I strive to ensure all animals in my care are treated as my own. My pets are a big highlight to my day to day life, and watching yours will be a great addition to that! I am a construction worker, my work day starts at 5am and is over the latest by 1am. I am available weekends and also weekdays for overnights, drop ins, or partial days if needed. I am open to overnights as long as my work schedule is okay with you! I only offer my services in clients home. I offer overnight care and ensure that during my stay I leave your home as clean as it was left. If additional tasks are requested such as watering plants, gathering mail, etc, I’d be happy to do so!

About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

“This was our first time using Alice and she did a wonderful job with Lacey & Lulu.”
