About: I am an experienced pet sitter and parent to two cats, Bubba and Mama, and our sweet rescue dog, Daisy. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My flexible WFH schedule enables me to be an attentive sitter and my camera roll is often full of pet photos so you will receive plenty of updates :). I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule so I can build my day around pet visits and check-ins, a perk my own pets continue to benefit from. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and walking paths. My home has no stairs (perfect for short-legged or elderly pets) with direct access to open grass (we often have deer visitors!).

About: I’ve cared for pups of all ages — from playful little ones to sweet senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident giving medications and even administering injections, always with patience, love, and care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or extra patience and love, I tailor my care to meet every dog’s unique needs. Morning • 7:00 AM – Potty break & 20–30 min walk • 7:45 AM – Breakfast & fresh water • 8:15 AM – Short playtime or cuddles Midday • 12:00 PM – Potty break & play • 12:30 PM – Mental stimulation (training, puzzle toy) Afternoon • 3:30 PM – Potty break • 4:00 PM – Light play or nap time Evening • 6:00 PM – Dinner & fresh water • 6:30 PM – Walk • 8:00 PM – Relaxation, cuddles, or quiet play Night • 10:00 PM – Final potty break • Bedtime – Cozy sleep routine Creating a safe, loving environment is always my top priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and stretch their legs without worry. Supervision is constant, and I make sure gates are latched and the yard is hazard-free. Inside, pets enjoy a calm, comfortable space where they’re treated like family. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior dog who needs extra care, I provide a trusted environment where every tail can wag with confidence.

Yin did a great job with our puppy Brock while we were away - she came in a few days before hand to get to know him, and despite how rambunctious he can be at first, she was able to calm him down and he did very well with her. She was very on time, would always share updates, and was very kind. Would definitely use her in the future!

About: I’ve had dogs of all different breeds my entire life and absolutely love them with my whole heart. My family has fostered puppies numerous times and is active with a local animal shelter. I love playing with pups, relaxing with pups, and taking pups on walks. I’m currently waiting to start a new job as an ER physician assistant in July. Until then, I have wide availability on almost all days. My home has a large backyard for the dogs to play but is only fenced on two sides with an electric fence on the other two. My neighborhood is a mile long circle where I take the dogs on walks. My dogs eat twice a day in the am and then at 5pm but will of course feed your dogs whenever needed. I can adjust to any style home and backyard as needed!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been the one in my family responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with them. I have also pet-sat for my neighbors’ dogs and recently helped take care of a friend’s Golden Retriever, where I walked, fed, and played with her regularly. In addition, I volunteered for two summers at my local pet shelter, where I cleaned cat areas and spent time playing and socializing with the cats. I currently have a black lab at my parents’ house while I attend college. Overall, I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am a college student on summer break with full availability, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am available Monday through Sunday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am not offering services where pets stay in my home.

About: I am currently working as a veterinary technician and have extensive pet sitting experience. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration. I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!

About: What really sets me apart is the amount of hands-on experience I’ve had with cats over the years. I’ve fostered so many cats—everything from tiny kittens to older adults—and I’ve helped several of them find loving forever homes. I’ve also taken care of sick cats, so I’m comfortable giving basic medications and paying close attention to any changes in their behavior. I’ve had two cats of my own in the past, so I fully understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’m very patient, gentle, and genuinely love being around cats. Whether it’s keeping their litter box extra clean, sticking to their routines, or just giving them comfort and attention, I always treat every cat like they’re my own. I currently work in a hybrid setup. I’m remote on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility on those days, as well as on weekends For cats, I provide full access to my home in a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and explore at their own pace. I have a kitten of my own who is very friendly, affectionate, and gets along well with other pets. I understand that every cat has its own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to learn and follow any specific instructions to ensure your cat feels at ease. My goal is to give them a comfortable stay while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for. Since I know cats can take time to adjust to new environments, your cat will have a private room initially to settle in. Gradual introductions will be done thoughtfully, even if they are typically friendly with other cats. I take hygiene, cleanliness, and safety very seriously. As a cat owner, it’s my top priority to maintain a clean, secure, and stress-free space for both my pets and your.
