About: I have been a dedicated animal lover and pet owner my entire life. My experience is rooted in long-term personal ownership and recent, reliable caregiving for friends and family. Dog Expertise: I grew up with dogs and, prior to moving to this neighborhood, I was the trusted, regular dog walker and sitter for family and friends. This experience involved handling daily walks, managing feeding schedules, and providing necessary companionship and playtime for various breeds, including both high-energy and senior dogs. Cat Expertise: I am a current, devoted cat parent (along with my husband). I am highly proficient in all aspects of cat care, including understanding subtle feline behavioral cues, managing litter box routines, and ensuring a calm, stress-free environment for shy or independent cats. General Care: I am reliable, responsible, and committed to following your specific care instructions precisely. I understand that sticking to a pet's routine is essential for their well-being. Specific Skills Medication Administration: Comfortable and capable of administering oral medications (pills or liquid) as needed. Safety & Walks: Skilled in leash handling and ensuring safety during walks in local neighborhoods. Home Security: Highly respectful of your home and dedicated to maintaining security and cleanliness during my visits. Communication: Committed to providing detailed updates, photos, and clear communication after every visit. Since I work from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine and is a welcome break from my desk! I look forward to the opportunities to get out for walks and visits. Here is how I structure my day around my pet clients: Midday Priority: My lunch break is specifically reserved for client visits. I am typically available between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to ensure your pet gets a much-needed potty break, walk, or play session to break up their day. Flexible Bookends: My WFH schedule allows me to be flexible and accommodate early morning or evening walks/check-ins (e.g., around 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM), which is crucial for pets needing a dinner time routine or a final potty break. Pet-Centric Household: Pet care is a core part of my life. My husband and I are devoted to our cat, Remi, and caring for him—including managing his special diet and occasional medication—means maintaining a consistent, pet-focused schedule is simply normal for me. I only provide care right in your home—I don't offer boarding at my place. Pets are happiest where they live, and I love bringing the care directly to them! How I Care for Your Pet (20–30 Minute Visits) For Dogs 🐕: Walks & Routine: I stick strictly to your routine! As a WFH person, I love getting out for focused, safe walks, whether it's midday or an evening stroll. Safety First: I have lots of experience walking and sitting for friends/family, and following instructions is my top priority. For Cats 🐈: Calm Connection: As a dedicated cat parent, I understand and adjust to different cat personalities. I focus on reading your cat's mood, providing quiet companionship or playtime on their terms. Special Needs? No Problem: Just like my own cat, I'm totally comfortable handling oral meds, special diets, and those essential quick clean-ups (litter box/accidents). I promise clear communication and lots of fun photo updates during and/or after every single visit!

“Julie was great and very helpful. She took excellent care of my dogs and we are very grateful for her help. Also we appreciated her flexibility with our last minute booking.”

About: I've grown up with rescue dogs my whole life. For the past 17 years, I've been living and teaching overseas, and no matter where I've been in the world, animals have been part of my family's life. There's something about pets that goes beyond companionship; they're a witness to our lives with no strings attached love- It's our responsibility to be their advocates. Right now I'm home with my little one (11 month old), so I have the time and presence to give your dog or dogs the care, love, and reassurance they need while you're away. Whether it's a neighborhood walk or a longer hike, I'm up for it! Puppies, seniors, anxious pups- I'm happy to help! Being at home with my baby means I have a flexible routine, so pet care fits in easily throughout the day. I can work around what your dog needs, whether it's a morning walk, a midday drop in, or afternoon hike. I know dogs do best with a consistent rhythm, routine, and presence. I can come to you so your dog feels comfortable in their own environment, with their own routine. I'm happy to be a familiar, safe person for them so they can thrive and feel comfortable. I'll follow your lead on feeding routines and anything special that helps support your dog. You know your dog best, I'm there to keep things as consistent as possible while you're away.

“Faith took great care of our cat while we were away! She is good at communicating, reliable, and easy to work with. Thanks again!”

“Tania was great for our Luna. Great to have peace of mind that she got a break from her crate and some exercise!”

Stephanie B.

“Shane was very responsive and able to accommodate me with a last minute check in request on my Whiskey boy. I really appreciated the details and notes left in the rover card so I knew how my kiddo was doing. I would absolutely use Shane and Mikaela again!”

Abigail W.

“Madeline did a great job watching over my cat Mackie, she was super sweet, responsive, took good pictures and even went above and beyond and fed Mackie some extra wet food from their own collection when I ran out due to a slight miscommunication in instructions. Wonderful service and would book again!”

Sarah C.

“This is our second time having Joey pet sit though this time it was drop in visits for our cats. She is an amazing sitter and I love the photos!! She is great to work with and we will continue to reach out! Our cat that likes to hide comes out for Joey!”

About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I and my husband are retired so we have a lot of time to spend with your dog and will walk them a few times a day and play with them. They will always have someone with them. I take younger dogs for a morning, afternoon and night walk. I adjust the number of walks and distance if they are older dogs. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture.

“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”

About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years! I had dogs growing up and I have my own cat now. I also have my own turtle! I work full time but am able to let dogs out depending on distance throughout the day. I am more than willing to spend quality time with your animal! I am able to stay/visit at houses to support your pet. I am unable to bring cats or dogs into my house due to my cat being a solo cat (her preference).

“Mary did a wonderful job with our dog. She communicated well, reliable, and gave lots of love to our dog. We will definitely use her again.”

Sandy R.

“She is literally amazing! 10 out of 10”

About: I've had a dog for most of my entire life and had the knowledge to train them on my own. While dogs seem to naturally gravitate toward me, I've felt that good discipline and reward at a young age is the most important thing for a healthy long-term friendship with an animal. I do work full-time, but I am able to make stops in the mornings and again after work as needed. My wife works at home full-time and can assist as needed also. I can be flexible depending on what you want. Right now, however, I prefer to do drop-in visits and walks while not taking your pet full-time.
