About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care under my belt, I've honed a deep understanding of both canine and feline needs. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts—and from curious kittens to laid-back lap cats—I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’ve also supported a pup with aggression issues through his stressful times, giving me valuable experience in patience, awareness, and calm handling. My background includes administering medications, maintaining clean and comfortable litter boxes, and providing specialized care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Trust me to bring expertise and genuine affection to every walk, cuddle, and visit with your furry family members. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, with availability after my 8-4 job Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends. I'm dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care that complements your schedule and ensures your pets are happy and well-looked after. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring consistency with their regular routine. I also provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, maintaining open communication with you to keep you updated on your pet's well-being.

Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.

About: I’m a college student and dog lover with hands on experience caring for my own dog, Sasha. Taking care of her has taught me the importance of daily exercise, patience, consistency, and paying attention to a dog’s needs. I’m reliable, active, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during walks and visits. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule over the summer and am available most weekdays and some weekends for dog walking and pet care. I’m able to do morning, afternoon, and early evening walks depending on the day. I’m reliable and will always stick to scheduled times, and I can be flexible with advance notice for recurring walks or one time bookings. I prioritize safety, trust, and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure on walks, stay aware of surroundings, and are comfortable at all times. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I provide updates so owners know their dog is safe and doing well.

I'm so relieved to have Mary to care for our cats while we're away! I am extremely picky about selecting a capable catsitter for our very spoiled cats. Mary was always on time and very sweet to our cats. They are all shy and they warmed up to her very quickly. She fed them, cleaned up after them and played with them every visit while talking to them the whole time. ( we have a camera ) She sent pics and stayed in constant communication through texting. She did great following my long list of instructions which completely took away my worries. She even fed the stray that comes daily. She's our new cat sitter for all future trips. Smart, friendly and extremely honest. We hit the jackpot with this one!

My cats love Courtney! Especially my super shy boy comes out of shell when he sees her. I’m super happy with her taking care of my two little ones, she spends quality time with them and doesn’t cut her visits short. I also really appreciate the detailed write up and the cute photos. Thank you, Courtney!

About: I've had dogs since I was a kid an have pet sit for people since I was about 13 years old. In my own life I have had and trained 3 puppies of my own (Tootsie is still currently in the training works). The most dogs I've watched in one household was four, one golden retriever rescue, one Labrador rescue, and two beagle mix rescues. I've worked with several different breeds of dogs over the years including pit bull mixes, pugs, labs, retrievers, beagles, great danes, etc. I currently am taking some time off from working as a Senior Accountant so have availability all day everyday for the most part, when im not spending time with my pets and hubby that is. 🥰 When I do drop in visits I follow what is requested for dogs regarding feeding time/walking habits. I normally talk to them because well idk, I talk to my pets because thats what you do as a pet person. 😂

About: My family and I had two amazing dogs growing up who recently passed away, and I’ve really been missing that kind of dog love. I just graduated college and would love to spend more time around pets while gaining more experience caring for them. I recently graduated college, where I was a student-athlete majoring in criminology and sociology. I’m looking to gain more hands-on experience in animal care while I'm in the application process— and have a pretty flexible schedule! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar surroundings. and following their routines, including feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I make sure to provide regular updates to the owners, giving them peace of mind while they're away.

About: I’ve had my knee replaced which has slowed me down a tad but also allows me be to home all the time. We recently lost our old boy (dog of 12 years) and while my cats have helped me to survive, I have so much more love to give! For now I want to spend time with others’ dogs to help fill the whole in my heart. I genuinely want to make every animal a friend of mine! I will always lead with love, care and respect. I work from home already which is usually stuff I take care of in the evenings anyway but I have the time, love and space to accommodate your furry family members. We have three lovable indoor cats. Two will stay away mostly and one will greet you at the door with friendly meows. We will spend the whole time snuggling on the couch or running around in our yard.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over five years and currently raise a Border Collie/German Shepherd mix, so I understand high-energy breeds and puppy training. I’m consistent, patient, and attentive to routines. I have experience with crate training, basic commands, teething stages, and managing excitement around children. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize safety, structure, and plenty of exercise. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already structure my days around my own dog’s schedule. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding routines, playtime, and weekly training sessions. I spend my work breaks playing with my own dog. I plan ahead and prioritize consistency, so adding additional pets to my routine feels seamless and well-organized. Safety is always my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secured, and maintain a calm, structured environment. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, especially with high-energy dogs, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and stick to all instructions to ensure their pet feels comfortable and secure. When walking dogs. I always make sure to be attentive and watch our surroundings

Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.

I’ve had 10 plus years experience with pet sitting so have had to handle many different situations that have made me a better sitter. I’m prepared for anything and love these pets as my own!

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.

Kyle was amazing! He watched my cat for a few days and was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and followed all my instructions perfectly, including giving my cat daily medicine. My cat can also be shy around new people but she was friendly with Kyle right away which gave me lots of peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Kyle as a cat sitter!!
