“Awesome care and what a piece of mind while away :) Thanks a ton for taking care of hero. Julianne is professional by work and dog lover by heart , highly recommended for pet services .”


About: When I was younger I was in 4-H Therapy Pets group where we took our pets to visit seniors. I grew up around animals and have had cats, dogs, a rabbit, hampsters and birds. I grew up surrounded by a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, a rabbit, hamsters, and birds. This hands-on experience taught me how to care for animals of all kinds, understand their unique personalities, and make them feel comfortable and safe. I currently have a full-time job working Sunday–Wednesday and Fridays from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., so I’m available most afternoons and evenings, as well as Saturdays. I can take your dog for a walk and tire them out with friendly play! Or if your pet just needs someone to keep them company and look over them I can do that too!

About: I have had over four years of experience caring for my German Shepherd mix, who is now five years old and weighs 80 pounds. She’s high-energy, intelligent, and loyal, so I understand the needs of larger breeds, from exercise and mental stimulation to proper training and affection. I also had a cat, adopting him when he was just two months old, so I’m familiar with feline care, from playful kittens to independent adults. Having been around multiple dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments, I’m comfortable handling a variety of personalities. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra love while you're away, I’ll provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can tailor my availability to fit your routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and extended stays, ensuring your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll work with you to create the perfect plan for your furry friend! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience handling large dogs and energetic pets, ensuring they get proper care in a secure and loving environment. Whether on walks or at home, I stay attentive to their needs, avoiding unsafe situations and using positive reinforcement to build trust. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they would with family.

“Thanks a lot for taking such good care of our cats. Sarah is prompt, reliable very responsive and dependable. We will definitely like to work with you again.”


About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats throughout my whole life. I'm very comfortable with dogs of every size and breed as well as more exotic pets like rodents, reptiles and ferrets. I'm a freelance Spanish<>English interpreter and translator which leaves me with a flexible schedule to fit pet care into. I sit at a desk a lot either taking calls or typing away in my computer. My breaks consist of going on my phone or getting something to eat. However, I'd love to instead go out for a nice walk with a furry friend or play or just sit with them and keep them company while their favorite person comes home. When I first arrive at my clients house I make sure to greet the pet. It helps me asses the situation and make sure that they are okay in all sense of the word. It also helps the pet realize that I'm not a threat in their territory and that I'm here to play, feed them, give pets and cuddles, keep them company and to take care of all their needs. Then I proceed according to the care instructions given to me by the pet's owner.

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, and currently have three rescue cats. I’ve also owned a lot of dogs and have dog-sat for years for friends and acquaintances. I’ve cared for dogs at all ages of their lives. Currently, I work as a consultant from home for a Museum and I also run my own online business, so my scheduling is very flexible to provide pet care. I will treat your home with the utmost care when I am in it. Whatever rules you have for your home I will abide by.

About: I have four dogs I frequently care for at home, ranging from puppy (~1 year) to senior puppo (17 years). I am also used to caring for cats, I raised kittens for my grandparents to keep them company during their retirement years. I am used to providing any care that your pet needs, every pet is different and I like to take the time to give your pet what they need. I work in Tech and I am fully remote! Since I work from home, I can provide care for your pet whenever is needed! I am a night owl but I am also used to waking up early! I like to take the time to get to know your pet and what they like so if they want quality time playing actively or watching TV cuddling, I am here to provide! I want to make sure you and your pet are comfortable and I want to respect your home! I am also open to discussing bringing your furry friends over, I have separations in the house so that your friend can just hang out with me or they can interact with other friendly dogs!

“Charles was diligent and on time. He loved playing with Willa!”


About: I have had multiple family dogs over the years, the current one being a cutie pie named Babka. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and would love to meet yours! I work at Starbucks and have a schedule that can be a little erratic at times, so some advance notice would be great for anything more than a day. While I have to work on location, I can usually work around this by having shorter hours or, if your house is close to my job, doing a check in while on break. I care for pets by providing basics like food, water and walks, but also by providing enrichment. A lot of the time when their owners are away pets can get depressed or anxious so it's important to provide them with a fun time!

“Jasmine is amazing. She's spent extra time with our fur babies. One kitty went missing and she spent extra time baking sure to find her for us. Truly amazing!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified

About: Hello my name is Danny, I am a big animal lover (Which I guess would be obvious if I'm doing this lol). I have 1 cat currently, and my partner of 6yrs has 2 cats. I also grew up in a zoo basically with 3 cats, 4 dogs, a bird, 2 snakes, and a rabbit. I can't wait to meet and spend time with your animals!

I am good at keeping pets entertained, making sure they eat (and don't steal from their siblings lol), and keeping the mischief at bay.

About: I was raised in a family that has always had dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from 6 LBS to 120 LBS.

I love to move around so your dog will get all of their movement in or if they're a lap dog I'll be there to snuggle them up! I am a teacher so looking for summer work, so from the end of June-September I available all days of the week and all times. I live in an apartment, but my area has a lot of parks near by.

My passion for animal care means I’m always eager to make time for furry friends, viewing each pet sitting opportunity as a chance to provide compassionate reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I provide meticulous and compassionate care that prioritizes the animal’s comfort and routine. I carefully follow the owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medication, and daily activities, ensuring the pet receives consistent, loving attention.
