“Pauline always does a phenomenal job with my pups. She is my go to dog sitter and I always try to book her specifically for my travel. My dogs are well taken care of and even my picky eater eats well for her. She always leaves the apartment so clean and goes the extra mile to take out the trash, vacuum, and wash the sheets. I’m so grateful for everything she does!”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and living areas, administering medications when needed, and ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I am reliable, patient, and committed to providing loving, responsible care while owners are away. I’m currently unemployed while my children are in daycare and after school programs. Outside of appointments I’m free spending time with my cats and my females kittens I currently have 2 black cats. My female whom I rescued recently was pregnant and had 6 babies(3 weeks old) I’ve also had dogs and cats in my past. I love animals. My home is clean and organized.

“Heather is great I received pictures and updates periodically about how my pups were doing while I was away! I have a few dogs on meds and she handled those perfectly. It really gives me peace of mind to know they’re in great hands !”

“Jen was great with our three pups! She was super responsive and a great communicator. She made sure to send lots of videos/pictures throughout the stay. The dogs seem to have really enjoyed her company :)”

“Although I hate to say this out loud for fear of them booking up too fast 🤫 they were wonderful… faced with wind, rain and a power outage not to mention a lively 9 month old pup, they took great care of him. They also shared some practical training tips! I would not hesitate to call on them again!”

“When I had a night shift, Christopher came and took care of my dog, Honey, and did a spectacular job! He followed every direction/request without an issue, went above and beyond by offering to give Honey medication before he left, took photos promptly, and cuddled her when there was a bad thunderstorm, will book again!”

About: I can't imagine my life without animals. My family has owned several different species of animals since I was born, and I now own a standard poodle and domestic short hair cat. I understand they are not just an animal, but a member of the family who needs to be treated as such. I am comfortable walking, grooming, and feeding any size and aged dog. Walking can either be at a slow pace, or jogging, I just have to be informed prior. If I am dog sitting, I will be sure to give extra pets and loving to each animal, and can also groom the dog if requested. Looking for consistent clients.

“I am so grateful that Annee and I have found Jeanne. Annee will be 10 at the end of the month and the older she gets the more she enjoys staying at home. Jeanne is reliable, trustworthy, kind, and loves dogs with all of her heart. I love getting photos when I am away from Annee. I always come home to a happy, healthy dog.”

“House, dog, cats and the fish looked and acted like we weren't gone for 10 days letting us know their routine was not interrupted. Ellyana sent plenty of pictures assuring us the furbabies were well-loved in our absence. She was not shy to ask questions or report issues to ensure everything went well for everybody while we were away.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats. Over the years, I have become the go-to pet sitter within my friend group and regularly care for my friends’ cats while they are away on vacation. I also grew up informally pet sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments and routines. I currently care for my own cat, Reami, a 3-year-old Ragamuffin whom I have raised since he was a kitten. Reami has anxiety-related health issues that can contribute to urinary tract problems, so I am very familiar with providing attentive, patient, and consistent care for sensitive pets. Because of his needs, I understand the importance of maintaining a calm environment, monitoring behavior closely, sticking to routines, encouraging play and enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for Reami, I have also helped care for my roommates’ cats in the past, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and general companionship. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments — from shy and anxious cats to highly social and playful ones. While I mainly prefer cat sitting, I also have some experience with dogs, including walking friends’ dogs and taking them on hikes and outdoor outings. I am happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As a sitter, I prioritize communication, reliability, cleanliness, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. I am a graduate student whose lab is only a 15 minute walk away from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and except for few meetings throughout the week, my schedule is fully up to me. I am also able to leave at any point for short breaks to take pets out for walks/ check up on them. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that pets — especially cats — can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I do my best to keep their schedule and environment consistent while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. As the owner of an anxious cat with special care needs, I am very attentive to pets’ behavior, comfort, and stress levels. I value patience, cleanliness, reliability, and making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

About: I work fully from home, so your dog will receive consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I have cared for my own dog for the past three years and understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pet. I am comfortable with feeding, long walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of affection. I treat every dog with patience and care, just as I would want someone to treat my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine with my dog, Georgia. Your dog will get regular walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of rest. Georgia loves having another dog around, and I will always supervise their play and make sure they do not overdo it. I live in a comfortable one bedroom apartment in a safe neighborhood with plenty of parks and good places to walk nearby. Georgia is very sweet and loves playing with other dogs. I will supervise them closely, take them on walks together, and give them breaks when they need time to relax.

“McKenzie was the perfect sitter. Easy communication and took great care of Atlas.”

About: I've raised and cared for several breeds of dogs, large and small for about 20 years. I am a true dog lover and I believe its important to connect with them. I am very attentive to their needs. Body rubs and ear scratches are unlimited. I have experience with special needs pups as well. I do have experience giving medications if needed. I once was a volunteer and foster parent with Yorkie 911 Rescue. I also have experience with very shy dogs and I have extreme patience. My home is quiet during most of the day for those pups who need total relaxation or for those senior pups who just prefers quiet. I also have experience grooming small dogs up to 15 pounds. Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and can provide consistent supervision throughout the day. I can structure my day around the dogs’ needs, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, rest periods, and plenty of attention. I am comfortable maintaining a regular schedule and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also provide additional supervision and care throughout the week based on each dog’s individual needs and routine. My balcony is a clean, secure, and dog-friendly space where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. It includes a designated potty area, enclosed with strong netting with chicken wire. along with comfortable cots and lounging furniture where dogs can relax, have fresh air and sun bathe, The balcony is located directly outside my home office, where I work, allowing me to keep a close eye on the dogs throughout the day. Dogs are never left unattended on the balcony. I also have cameras throughout the apartment for additional monitoring and pet gates closing off forbidden areas. The space is kept clean, organized, and free of hazards, providing small/medium dogs with a comfortable and secure area to relax, play, and get some fresh air.

“Megan was fabulous! We needed a dog sitter last minute to stay over the weekend and she responded right away. She came over for a visit to meet our dog and walked through everything; our dog immediately loved her. She arrived on time and treated our pup and home with care and respect. We are so grateful! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs from a very young age and have been taking of my own for many years. I have been currently work at a Daycare/Boadring Kennel for a few months now. I’ve also been taking care of a family friends dog whenever needed. I would say I’m very good with connecting with people’s dog, and I love all dogs I encounter. I am also majoring in Pre-Vet in hopes to become a Veterinarian so I’m trying to get as much experience as possible! Anything you need from me, I will be there! I’m currently working part time at a Daycare/Kennel, my schedule is a bit inconsistent but I do know exactly what days I work for the whole month and if I ever need to take off to better fit your time frame, I am able to. The only thing I ask is to let me know in advanced! I am very gentle with my pets and other peoples pet. Your wish is my command! I am an athletic person myself so I do enjoy playing with my dogs, and my clients dogs as much as I can. I will be the best fit for whatever you and your dog needs!

“Oh my goodness, Alex was just wonderful. We couldn't have been more pleased with his work taking care of our many pets and our house. Best of all, he was friendly and communicative, sending pictures regularly and never seeming annoyed when I needed reassurance that all was well. We will definitely rebook with Alex if he'll have us!”
