“This was the first time leaving my pup alone, but Cheryl eased my mind every step of the way. Not only were my babies clearly well cared for, but she left our apartment in better shape than we’d left it. Highly recommended!! She definitely went above and beyond!!”

About: Hi! I’ve spent the last 11 years as a Paramedic and, while I love helping people…I love helping animals too! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Ever since I was a child, animals have been a central part of my life. My family often took in dogs and cats in need, and I even bottle-fed orphaned puppies and kittens many times, helping them grow strong and healthy. Those early experiences shaped my calm, patient, and nurturing approach to animal care. Being a Paramedic has taught me how to remain calm under pressure. Also, that no one person is the same and will respond the same. Every person is unique. I believe animals are the exact same way! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood—especially while their family is away. Whether your pet(s) are energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and adjust my care to meet their needs. From walks and playtime to quiet companionship and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and highly communicative. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I always prioritize reliability, punctuality, and clear updates. I’m happy to send photos/videos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. We can even FaceTime! Although I’m currently unable to have pets of my own where I live, that has only deepened my appreciation for every opportunity I get to spend time with animals. Caring for pets is something I truly love, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I would be honored to care for your pet and provide the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. 🐶😽 What I Offer: - Dog & cat walking (structured or relaxed walks based on your pet’s needs) - Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and companionship - Pet sitting with attentive, in-home care - Care for dogs & cats of all temperaments 💛 My Care Style: - Patient and gentle approach for all personalities - Focus on safety, comfort, and routine - Calm presence for anxious or shy pets - Active engagement for energetic pets - Always respectful of your home and instructions 📸 Communication Promise You’ll always receive: - Regular photo updates - Clear check-ins after visits - Fast responses to messages - Honest communication about your pet’s well-being 🌟 Why Pet Parents Choose Me: I don’t just “watch” pets—I genuinely care for them.

My goal is to keep your pet(s) happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will carefully follow your pets normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, proper poop scoop and disposal, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care instructions you provide. I know that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I’ll keep your home clean, secure, and well cared for during my stay, while providing your pet(s) with companionship, affection, and plenty of attention based on their individual personality and comfort level.

“I recently moved to the area with my senior dog and two cats and was in need of a sitter for a short trip. Caitlin had great reviews, and we spoke and met - she has a gentle, calming presence which I liked and sensed would benefit my pets in this new environment. I was right - based on her frequent communication and pictures they took to her right away! All this was great, but I was most impressed and grateful for her attentiveness and concern - the first day of my trip she contacted me regarding an unusual development with my dog - it turned out she had developed a hot spot! The early detection allowed for easy treatment (those things can get nasty quickly) which Caitlin was willing to undertake. I highly recommend Caitlin and will be using her in the future.”

“Daphne took great care of our dog, who can be slow to warm up to new people. She was very flexible when we had a flight cancellation and made sure he got an extra walk since we were coming home later than planned. We arrived home to a happy dog (he got lots of exercise!) and a clean house.”

Colin G.

“Melissa did an amazing job watching my dog and cat, she sent me lots of pictures and they were all of my pets comfortable and at ease with her. I found my home in better shape than I left it and my animals were obviously loved and well cared for. Will absolutely hire her again!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs since I can remember. I have a dog myself, and she is the friendliest girl, her name is molly. She loves friends. Additionally, I have experience crate and home training dogs. I am accommodating to all dogs. I would love to take care of your dog as if it were my own! I am currently post-grad, and have plenty of time to care for your dog. My services are available all week. I can take your dog on as many walks needed. I live in an apartment complex with plenty of space for them to sniff and play around. I will also provide your dog with designated play time to keep its mind stimulated. Any additional request needed can be accommodated as well! I value communication, so I vow to listen to your dogs and your needs and meet them accordingly! I live in an apartment. I do not have a specific designated yard, but I do have plenty of outdoor space for your dog. I have one dog myself (medium sized), she loves friends and can’t wait to be great company to your dog. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. You name the need, and I will meet it.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, you name it, I’ve had at least one! I’ve worked as a professional dog walker when I lived in Boston, dog walked and house sat while living in Austin, and currently care for pets of neighbors, friends and family. I’m an uber driver with open availability to come swing by whenever needed! I am up early in the morning, and go to bed late at night! I’m centrally located, so I can be to your pet in minutes! I take caring for pets very seriously. I love to provide a loving and caring demeanor while being quiet and patient. Animals need to trust their caregiver, and I find it very important for the pet to know they can rely on me to care for them. Having a dog that requires a lot of care and extra watching, I like to treat all pets as if they are my own

About: I go to Loyola University where I am doing my masters program in counseling. Back home (California) I have a big dog that my family adopted and she’s the sweetest. I’ve had dogs since I was born, so I’m super comfortable around them and know how to be stern if need be. I would walk the dogs around the neighborhood and bring them to parks to play. For in home visits, I will play with the dogs and cats if they want, make sure they do their business, and feed them. I can give belly and head scratches for hours and am able to match their energy. No matter the breed, size, etc, I love all dogs just the same. Let me know if I can be of help! I have a super flexible schedule between school and my part time job at a cafe, so I would be able to come multiple times a day for extended periods to hangout with the pets. I always enjoy giving pets extra love, especially since I don't currently live with any right now. I am always happy to take them for a walk, just hangout and entertain them, or snuggle!

“Macie watches my Lulu regularly, and is always wonderful with her. She keeps her company, gives her meds, and sends me photos. I will always rebook with Macie!”

“Jessica continues to be our favorite go-to and is there for us even when travel plans go awry. After getting stranded in Houston for an extra night, Jessica was able to keep caring for Evangeline and Junebug, and made it so they were safe and comfortable until I got home. Jessica is the best!”

“Amara did an excellent job caring for my senior dog while I was out of town. She was able to give him his medication every day and keep him on his regular schedule. I cannot recommend her enough and will be booking with her for future pet sitting needs.”

Rebecca K.

“Ian did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my dog and cat. He sent pics and updates everyday! It really put my mind at ease to have updates like that. I will definitely be rebooking him again!”

“Andi was fantastic! -- excellent & easy communication in advance and thru the stay. My dog and house were well cared for. Fun photos. My dog can have a lot of energy outside and I felt like he was in great confident caring hands. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend!”

Leslie D.

“Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.”

Margarida D.

“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”

Liana D.

“Karen was so great !! She has great communication and I could tell in the pictures she sent that my pups were loved . She truly allowed us to enjoy our trip .”
