Pet Sitting Harbor Gateway

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.

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

“"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: 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.

“Great service! Hachi and I are so grateful, till next time! Thank you, Oriana.”

“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 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: I have hands-on experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable providing medication and giving extra attention to pets that require special care, including senior pets or those needing additional support. I also have pets of my own — a dog and a cat — so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I am home for the summer, so I have full availability from June all the way to mid-August! Have a trip, weekend getaway, or last-minute date night? I will be happy to watch your furry friend :) I’m unable to host pets in my own home since I don’t have a yard, but I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and high-quality care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while following your routines and instructions to keep them comfortable and happy.

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

About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.

About: I've had a lifelong love for animals, from being a devoted mom to two energetic huskies to caring for both dogs and cats throughout my life. I also have experience looking after senior and special needs animals, so I truly understand the unique needs of pets. I’m passionate about providing attentive, loving care to every pet as if they were my own. I make time for all pets and am here to help you with any needs. Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting your sweet furry kids. When caring for pets in their home, I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I offer personalized care based on each pet's needs, which includes regular walks to keep them active and healthy, interactive playtime to keep them engaged, and plenty of attention to make sure they feel secure. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner to maintain consistency and routine. Above all, safety is my top priority, and I always ensure pets are in a secure environment, whether I’m indoors or out, and that they have plenty of fresh water, food, and comfortable resting spaces.

“Zulaiha was generous, flexible, and thorough throughout our experience! We got to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. I’m so grateful for their efforts and would book again!”

“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for the cats and dogs of friends and family — handling feeding routines, daily walks, drop-ins, and keeping pets happy and comfortable when their people are away. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every animal like my own. Your pet will always feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. Pet care is a priority in my routine, not an afterthought. My schedule is flexible and mostly open, which means I can show up consistently and give your pet the time and attention they actually deserve! When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Your pet stays in their own space, surrounded by everything familiar — their smells, their favorite spots, their routine. I follow your lead on feeding, walking schedules, and any specific needs your pet has. I match my energy to theirs — calm and quiet when they need to decompress, playful and engaged when they’re ready for it. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you stay informed the whole time!

About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!

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.

About: I have 4 fur babies of my own. We have had them for 10 years. Their names are Roxy, Ronnie, Nina and Susie (who we rescued). I have taken care of many pets for friends and family over the years as they know we have a huge yard for them to play in. I have boarded dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, birds and including a guinea pig! I am a SPED teacher looking for a fun weekend job opportunity and what better way than taking care of sweet fur babies! I do not have children of my own so rest assured your pet will have my full and undivided attention! I have 4 very friendly dogs of my own who love to make new friends! I have a huge GATED yard where the dogs will be able to run around and play.
