About: Hi! My love for animals began at a very young age and I can't remember when pets haven't been a part of my life. I am a proud pet mama to Roxy, an English lab. I have several references who will gladly speak of my compassion and abilities to care for animals and my dedication. I provide the utmost quality pet care for responsible pet parents. As a pet lover myself, I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets. My clients can rest assured that they will be provided the highest degree of professionalism and heartfelt pet care for their four-legged family members. I work from my home full time, so I will be available to meet your beloved fur baby's needs. I recently relocated from Austin, TX, where I had a very successful Rover business for 6 years. Please read my reviews, and I have Rover Star Sitter status. I have a fenced yard that is great for dogs to play in. I can also do walks if requested. Senior dog experience as well as oral medication.
“Amanda was very nice at our first meeting. She was knowledgeable about cats. The sitter scheduling went smooth and her communication was excellent. We would hire here again If we need to.”
About: Hi there! I’m Amanda, and I’ve always had a soft spot for sweet dogs. Over the years I’ve cared for pups of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies with endless energy to sweet seniors who enjoy slow walks and extra snuggles. I know every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their routine, what makes them happy, and how to keep them comfortable while you’re away. I love going on walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out with pups who prefer cuddle time. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, administering oral meds if needed, and keeping everything tidy so you come home to a happy, relaxed pup. 🤍 I am no longer working full time in person (remotely working as of November), which now gives me more wiggle room to focus on pet care on weekdays and weekends (unless my schedule says otherwise). I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your instructions exactly, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, play time, or medications, so everything stays consistent. I make sure doors and gates are always locked, keep food and water fresh, and give lots of attention. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and safe.
“Nancy did a fantastic job of keeping me updated on my cats! She sent tons of photos, and went above and beyond by cleaning up things the cats had knocked over. Would highly recommend her!!”
“I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)”
“Elizabeth was great! She was extremely responsive & made sure Frank our cat was well taken care of while we traveled north for the holidays. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Logan is awesome, she was able to be booked on short notice and she definitely was a big help to me when I had to go out of town. She responds very quickly and always updated me on how my animals were doing. I will definitely book with her in the future. Thank you again for everything you do!”
About: I am currently a dog dad to 1, but have 8 more at home of all breeds, energy levels, and sizes; so I am very well equipped and knowledgeable in pet care. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time playing with and tending to all types of animals. I currently work from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. So I am available before and after those times and fully available on the weekends. I typically spend 1 hour (minimum) with the pet in the morning and 1 hour (minimum) in the evening with overnight stays as needed. I am ready to adhere to any rules or needs for all pets. Whether I let the dog out to pee and spend the rest of the time with them sitting on my lap, leaving a door open for timid dogs to cross whenever they like, or spending time playing fetch or other activities outside.
About: Hi 👋🏻 I’m Claudia, 25, and I’ve had pets since I was a child, from tiny Chihuahuas to big Labradors. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and your pet always has company, walks, playtime, and cuddles! I love sending updates and pics so you can see your pet happy and safe. Since I work from home, I’m very flexible. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or hanging out, your pet gets all the attention and company they need. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! Pets get a cozy space to relax while I supervise everything. If I’m at your place, I stick to your rules and routine so your pet feels safe, happy, and stress-free.
“Very kind person, and she took great care of our cat and two guinea pigs! She was also very flexible when our travel plans changed which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Savannah took care of my cat Chibi for 2 days while I was away. Chibi seems to enjoy her company a lot when she visited—she played with her and seems very affectionate with her as well which is so nice and assuring for me since I know my fur baby is in good hands. I highly recommend Savannah :)”

Finding a trustworthy and affordable sitter who can provide your dog with the exercise, affection, and care they need while you’re away can be an overwhelming decision, so I’m here to provide the peace of mind that your dog will receive most personalized care while you’re away! Each dog has their own quirks, personality, likes, dislikes, and needs, and I do everything I can to be mindful and respectful of these. My visits are tailored to your dogs needs, but some examples of what a day might look like includes exercise and walks or jogs, play time, simple training commands, treats, belly rubs, and snuggles so your pup will never be bored or lonely. I do everything in my power to ease your anxiety, and your pet’s anxiety about being apart.

MY STORY: I’m an experienced dog walker and overnight sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your dogs and cats. I began dog walking and pet sitting when I was 10, retaining many repeat clients and “adopted” many honorary pet siblings along the way. Additionally I began volunteering at my local ASPCA rescue, and learned invaluable lessons there. In college, I spent time working with the 4 Paws for Ability Organization; fostering puppies who were training to be Support Animals. This included full time care, and light training, in order to prepare them for their very important futures! I also spent a year after college working at a boarding stable for show horses, where I cared for and cleaned the stalls of over 30 horses daily. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on adventures, hikes, and dog park dates, so your pup will never get bored. I’ve worked with 100’s of dogs of all temperaments, so nervous or shy rescue dogs are no problem. I’ve also worked at a holistic veterinarian office, so have experience with holistic medicine, calming techniques, physical therapy, injury rehabilitation, feeding, and administering medication. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, etc. I’ve cared for pets who are elderly or sick, reactive dogs and those who struggle with PTSD and severe anxiety, and pets with very specific routines; so integrating any specific request into a visit is no problem and your instructions will be followed with the utmost care. Dogs are family to me, so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. Last minute requests are no problem, and I will do my very best to accommodate these stays so you have one less thing to worry about. My professional career allows lots of flexibility in my schedule, so most days I am available for walks, check ins, or long term pet care, as long as I have notice in advance. I update my availability calendar frequently, but if you’re uncertain, please feel free to shoot me a message and I’ll do my very best to accommodate your pet’s unique care needs. SERVICES: -Drop in Visits: Bathroom breaks, serving fresh food and water, administering medicine, quick playtime, walks, and ensuring your house is in good order. I am happy to discuss any particular care instructions you have for your pet as well. -Overnight Stays/ House Sitting: -Stay with your pup(s) overnight, and provide a personalized daily routine. -Daily exercise, from runs, to walks, hikes, and more according to your pets activity needs. - Feeding according to their regular routine -Lots of attention, play time, and cuddles. -Photo’s and updates throughout the visit. -Light grooming.

Please let me know if your dog or cat: -Is a senior or requires special care. -Has specific dietary restrictions or requires medicine. -Has any behavioral struggles or triggers, and what I can do to help. -Which toys, activities, and furniture is their favorite. -Any other information regarding their preferences so I can provide the most relaxing and comfortable stay for your furry best friend. 💖

Leo was great with Tony and Vincent! He sent pictures while I was away and they looked comfortable and happy with him.
