About: I’ve always took a liking to animals and always had postive bonds with them. Over the years of growing up my grandfather owned several big dogs and cats. While others would shy away, not me I always helped out and didn’t mind watching them. I only work mornings and part time so that I have time for my cat as well because he needs to be watched. After my morning shifts I have all day to spend time outside to walk the dogs and get them their daily exercise. Caring for any pet at my home or others will be very similar I will need to know any notes and any restrictions for me and the dog. As I would give them my complete attention so that it’s a little vacation for them as well as subtracting feeling neglected.
About: Even since I was young, I was called on to look after my friends and neighbor's pets while they were away. I have lots of experience training in caring for or these furry friends. In more recent years I've incorporated animal therapy into my personal practice. I often travel for work. When I'm not traveling, I'm working remotely, with plenty of time to incorporate pet care. Perfect for in house sits! I often do in-house pet sitting for clients, taking care of the needs of my furry friends, keeping things tidy, watering plants if needed, and taking in mail.
About: I’ve cared for many dogs and cats over the years—both for families in my hometown and my own beloved pets. I truly love spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I take to heart. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior dog needing a little extra patience, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with kindness, attention, and love. As a part-time worker and student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a regular and meaningful part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. That includes sticking to their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and making sure they feel safe while their family is away. I always respect the home, leave things tidy, and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”
“Whytne was amazing - they were communicative and took such good care of our cats! They also did an amazing job making sure the house was cared for and offered to help more when inclement weather occurred. I really appreciate the attention to detail and would book again!”

“Lily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver! My senior car was cared for, and the house was in order upon our return. Lily provided occassional updates on how things were going and a few photos. She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.”

About: I've taken care of big dogs, small dogs, in between dogs. I've taken care of young kitties, mature kitties, and elder kitties. They all were adored by me. I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to be present for the needs of those I'm caring for. Working this way allows for a more spacious and flexible day and week. I am easily adaptable and can work within the needs of the homes I visit. Every home and every care situation is unique and requires fluidity.
About: I have over twenty years of experience in pet care. I have worked at boarding facilities, in pet grooming boutiques, in retail pet stores, and have done a fair share of dog walking and pet sitting.

I also have weekends free to do house sitting I believe I would bring compassion as well as experience to the job. I am extremely responsible and reliable 40 year-old animal lover willing to get my hands dirty and work hard.

About: I bring 2 years of senior care experience, so I’m patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of others’ routines and spaces.

I am working part time doing uber eats. I love spending my free time coloring and learning new skills to be successful in my goals to entrepreneurship.

“Deanna was always on time, sent several photos every visit, and kept my dog great company while I was away. My place was clean and my dog happy and safe when I returned. I would gladly hire Deanna again!”

About: I had my first cat at age 3 and have had cats and dogs for most of my life since then. I adore animals and truly have a special bond with them. Even very shy cats emerge to come out and greet me. I consider it a privilege to care for animals. In my care your pet will be loved, talked to, pet, and know they are safe. I enjoy long walks with dogs, ( or short, according to their needs) cuddling with cats, and will be very happy to learn and follow your protocols for their care. I am experienced caring for senior dogs, cats and kittens, puppies, “hiders”….. and in short order these pets feel very at ease with me. I’ve house and pet sat in the US and abroad. I have many years of experience and excellent references. I am presently available to provide excellent care to your pets any day or the week and any hour of the day. I’m presently booking pet care and pet sitting in the SF Bay Area. I am available for pet and housesitting in your home. I will care for your beloved pets as though they were my own, and will absolutely follow your instructions for their care and feeding.
About: Cats have been a part of our family always. Loving and caring for them as we would ourselves. They are an extension of us. Having raised cats from kittens to senior cats. I bring a wealth of experience to support your pet at any age. Flexible hours and availability to meet your pet sitting needs. Weekends and vacation weeks available. Given there is limited sitters in our area, I do book far in advance. The care I offer is tailored to your families individual needs, and that of your pet. As like us their needs are unique to them and their home environment. I do my absolute best to meet all requests within safety parameters for myself and your pet.
“Haley was excellent! Very responsive and took great care of our two kitties. She is a genuine animal person and provided really thoughtful updates (which eases anxiety while away from the fur babies). Will absolutely use her again in the future!”

About: Huge dog lover...I’m definitely the type of person to pay more attention to the dog in the room than the humans haha :) I have very open availability and would love to help out by caring for your furry friend(s)! As a dog owner myself I understand the level of trust that comes with leaving your pets with others. I’m quite active and can assure that they will receive chances to exercise if needed, in addition of course to love & affection. As a house-sitter, I am also happy to help out with housekeeping and yard work. I am also very experienced with dogs who have experienced trauma and have issues such as anxiety. If you are having difficulties around these issues I may be able to provide a little insight, if anything try to help. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope to hear from you soon :)
About: I have worked at the Windham County Humane Society for 22 years. I am experienced in medical handling, Safe fear-free restraint, and administering medications IV, IM, orally and subcutaneously. I have worked with many different cat and dog breeds. I work full-time as the Director of Operations at the Windham County Humane Society so I am only available for drop-in visits in the morning and evening. I do not currently offer pet care in my home. I have my own pets that do not get along with others. Sorry for the inconvenience!
