About: I’ve been a dog mom for more than 15 years of my life. I have a small senior dog who gets along with everyone. We love having other dogs hang out with us. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs for all kind of fun walks. I currently work from home 3 days a week and spend lots of weekends at home taking care of my senior dog. I am the go to person with all my friends and family when it comes to pet care. My senior dog spends much of his time in a giant play pen sleeping in our apartment. We still make it out for 3 walks a day. My apartment is very pet friendly.

“Cailey was very responsive and a clear communicator! I felt as if my cat was in good hands. Will hire again!”

About: I’ve had my dog, Teddy, for 4 years now, and that’s about all the experience I have. Although, I’ve done a lot of research along the way to ensure that he has the absolute best care and that is exactly what I would bring and provide to any other fur baby that I get the chance to take care of! I work fully from home and have a pretty workable schedule, so I am excited to use my downtime to care for your lovable fur baby! My schedule changes a lot so I don’t have specific hours but can specify upon requests! I’ve done all of Teddy’s training on my own through research and teamwork with him, which is something I am so proud of. That being said, I am very meticulous in how I care for, and work with him, which is how I would care for your pup as well! I like to make sure he has company and knows he is safe. And when he’s in the mood, we play with his favorite toys and might even do some intellectually stimulating training!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with several years of experience both pet sitting and working in an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant. Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience handling dogs and cats of all temperaments, supporting their care, and becoming familiar with recognizing when something may be off. At the same time, my approach to pet sitting is always centered around making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home environment. I’m also a pet owner to my 11-year-old girl, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, care, and lots of love. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I currently work as a veterinary assistant, so I am already around animals regularly and used to maintaining consistent care schedules. Outside of work, I plan my availability around pet sitting bookings to ensure I can give each pet the time and attention they need. This includes morning and evening visits, walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins depending on the pet’s routine. Because I’m also a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already built into my daily life. I’m used to early mornings, structured feeding times, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m very intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to, so each pet receives reliable, attentive care. When I arrive, I follow all instructions exactly as provided to maintain your pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and that litter boxes or walking needs are taken care of promptly. During each visit, I also spend time engaging with your pet based on their personality—whether that’s playtime, companionship, or giving them space if they are more independent. I keep your home clean, organized, and secure while I’m there, and I always double-check doors, gates, and any safety instructions before leaving. I also provide updates so you can feel confident knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of pets from friends and family since I was 10 years old. Overtime, I have developed an ability to make dogs and cats feel at home and welcomed through proper time and attention, the key for anyone and any animal to feel loved. Changing wet pads, showering and bathing pets, running and playing with dogs, and cuddling with animals are second nature to me and I have years of experience doing each. Currently, I am working full time 9am-5pm during the weekdays. Outside of those hours, having the pet come with me on outdoor activities when weather allows and staying inside to lounge around are common. I usually see it as an excuse to keep active during my sedentary office lifestyle. Time in = trust out. Building trust and making your pet feel safe and sound is one of my main priorities. In order for that bond to exist, consistent attention and care is needed. From proper feeding, regular walking, and rigorous playing, pets in my care will return back to you in good spirits.

“Ariella was absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond to not only take care of our senior cat, but also feed our fish! Would absolutely book Ariella again!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away

About: What differentiates me is the love and patience I give to each pet. I have experience with puppies and older dogs that need special care and shy rescue puppies. I treat each pet as if it were mine and always keep the owners informed with photos and messages. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals in the mornings and evenings, and I always make sure pets receive walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to the needs of each pet and provide reliable, loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets always have a clean and cozy space, fresh water, and regular walks or playtime. I make sure the environment is safe, secure, and free of hazards. In a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, respect their rules, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for

About: I come from a family of veterinarians in Brazil, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around my family’s veterinary clinic and pet shop, I helped care for more than 30 animals over the years—from dogs and cats to other small animals—learning early on how to understand their behavior, comfort them, and make them feel safe. Because of this background, I’m very attentive to animals’ needs, routines, and health. I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I also had the unique opportunity to work as a dolphin trainer at Miami Seaquarium. That experience taught me even more about animal behavior, communication, patience, and building trust with animals through positive interaction and structured routines. In addition to my animal background, I’m also a certified personal trainer. That means I have lots of energy and truly enjoy staying active with pets—whether that’s long walks, playing fetch, running in the park, or simply exploring nature together. I love engaging with animals in a fun and stimulating way, and I’m happy to match their energy level, from playful adventures to calm companionship. For me, spending time with animals is not just a job—it’s something that genuinely brings me joy. I love playing with them, running, rolling on the grass, going for walks, and giving them the attention and affection they deserve while their owners are away. I quit my job as a dolphin trainer to focus on pet training and caretaking privately. For now my routine is pretty flexible and allows changes. I cannot provide house sitting on my apartment at the moment because of lack of space but I’m open to house sitting anywhere and walking dogs or cats out!

About: I have hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! As a third-year college student currently on summer break, I have full availability and a flexible schedule, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, making sure pets are consistently checked on and cared for on time. I’m also able to accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most weekends without scheduling conflicts. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re not. Whether it’s feeding, meds, walks, or just some good company, I’m there to give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you always know how they’re doing.

“This was my first experience with a cat sitter and Mary was great. I was very nervous but she has a lot of experience including volunteering at an animal shelter. She came for a run-through and followed all the instructions including feeding the fish. I hope she’ll be our regular cat sitter.”

“Mellanie was super respectful & courteous. Her level communication made me feel extremely comfortable about having her in my home & around my pets. She even went above beyond w/ treats & toys.”

“Great and attentive to my dogs needs Yogi was well exercised and tired when he came back from his walk. Would definitely use Mandel again and again”

“Arianna did a phenomenal job while providing drop-in visits with my fur babies. She was quite attentive to their needs and showered them with lots of affection. One of my babies craved excessive affection and Arianna was patient enough to provide extra petting. In addition, she pays attention to details. and understood when one of my babies wasn't in the mood to be friendly. But because she didn't neglect him, but instead found ways to work with him, he eventually came around on her side. Arianna is a wonderful cat sitter. hence the reason why I gave her 5 stars. Therefore. without any hesitation, I highly recommend her as she proves that she loves what she does. Thank you Arianna. I appreciate you.”

About: I love looking after pets and getting to know each of their unique personalities. I think animals make the world a better place by being here. They teach us about patience, love, loss, and growth. The great thing about all pets is they're all different in their own way and they all offer love. I have two cats at home, who are pretty low maintenance, they need plenty of love and play time. I dedicate every day more than an hour to each cat to make sure they feel loved and entertained. It obviously entertains me as well! Patience and looking for warning signs are very important. Taking time to communicate to the pet owners of any concerns is also a priority if that is the case. I think a good line of communication is super helpful. Getting to know the pets is helpful too.

About: Dogs have been an integral part of my life since I was born. Growing up in a family of dog lovers I have had the joy of caring for many dogs apart of my family for years. My mom even has a tattoo of her late husky which highlights the deep connection we have to our dogs. I’m currently working part-time so I am able to take care of dogs after work and even on weekends ! I am very flexible when it comes to times. In my home, pets are treated as cherished family members, receiving the utmost care and attention. I ensure they have a comfortable and safe environment, providing cozy beds and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. Their feeding schedules are meticulously followed, with balanced and nutritious meals tailored to their specific needs. Regular exercise is a priority, with daily walks and playtime to keep them active and happy. I also focus on their grooming needs, keeping them clean and well-maintained. Most importantly, I provide plenty of affection and companionship, ensuring they feel loved and secure at all times. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or engaging in fun activities, I make sure every pet feels at home and cared for.

“Zahira was absolutely perfect for our holiday cat sitting. She gave timely updates, loads of pictures and wonderful insight into our little monster. Truly appreciated and highly recommended.”
