About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off for the last twenty years. I have two dogs with disabilities, a deaf cattle dog and an anxious sharpei-boxer with GI issues. I understand dogs and connect easily with many kinds of animals. I’m comfortable giving medications and working with reactive/anxious animals. My work is remote, freelance, and very part-time. My schedule is very relaxed and open. I prefer to spend time with my pets or others’ pets. When I enter a clients home I’m there for the animals. I’m mindful and respectful of their property and space. If I’m there for a walk, I’ll get the pup harnessed up and ready to go as soon as possible, according to the needs of the dog. If I’m there for a drop-in I’ll make sure I do what I’m there to do.

About: While I am at school missing my pets, the next best thing is getting to care for yours! I have been pet sitting for over 5 years in my neighborhood and others. I have worked with various different animals: Cats, bunnies, puppies, senior dogs, dogs weighing up to 130 lbs or down to 2! I have always been an animal lover, and I will go far out of my way to make sure your animal is cared for. I have spent a lot of time around animals, so I know how to navigate different personalities and needs well! I have a schedule that leaves the late morning and lunch time of my day, along with nights after 5:30, pretty wide open! Weeks sometimes vary but I will make sure your pet is looked after. I make sure to follow the instructions you leave to ensure that your pet is as safe as possible! I want to make sure that they get what they need while also staying safe!

Julie did a great job watching my cat Mooshu while I was away for the weekend. She sent me tons of pictures and checked in with an update after every visit. Julie was extremely attentive to details and I would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

We found Malia on sort of short notice and she was terrific during the drop-in visits with our old girl, Tink. Tink has numerous health concerns and anxiety, which Malia handled with ease, having to carry her on the stairs due to her senility and poor eyesight, give her pills and follow special feeding instructions. She was even willing to make an extra drop-in as I was nervous about leaving Tink too long. She made both of us feel at ease seeing the photos of Tink carrying on with her usual outside play and then resting in her bed. I will be scheduling her again!!

About: I grew up with pets since I was a little girl - raising 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’m currently not a pet owner, because although I’d love to, I live in a small apartment! However, I frequently help out family and friends with their own pets - rather that be pet sitting for a short weekend or walks throughout the day! I’m flexible and attentive. I can help with, but I’m not limited to: Feeding pets and putting out fresh water Brushing and grooming pets Bathing pets Cleaning litter boxes Walking dogs in all kinds of weather Vacuuming up pet hair Giving medications Taking pets to the vet in emergency situations Notifying owners of any injuries or sickness, and keeping them updated on their pets and home I look forward to working with you! I’m currently focused on building a flexible work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks, playtime, and keeping pets company fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m also communicative and dependable, and I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of love, attention, and updates while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty breaks, and individual personalities or needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and consistent communication so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Jen is an incredible pet sitter. Our dog Maisie is a rescue with issues and Jen was so understanding and willing to work with her - and her relationship with Maisie is excellent! Jen also takes great care of of two bun buns - she also has a pet rabbit so she is a knowledgeable caregiver and cuddle for them. Jen goes above and beyond pet care - she has voluntarily brought in packages for us and yesterday when I returned I noticed that she had brought both our trash and recycling containers up to the house from the street.

Ashleigh was amazing. Very friendly and great with my highly concerned daughter. She sent descriptive messages and pictures each day and was great with playing with the cats, cuddles, and even managed to get my older, cranky cat his meds. She even brought in two packages we forgot were on the way! Highly recommended!

Ella was so patient with Smokey Joe as it does take him a few days to warm to people. She also helped with meds. I will definitely reach out to Ella in the future to care for Smokey!

About: The best part of my day (and my doggie’s) is talking her on her daily walks. Stella, my golden girl, is a strong one, but nevertheless, the cutest and most energetic dog there is. With that being said, I am physically able to walk dogs of various strengths and sizes. I work a full time 9-5 job, however, my schedule is quite flexible - whether it be morning or evening walks, weekend walks, holiday walks, etc. I currently live alone, however, my doggy (abroad), lives in the house with us. She sleeps with us in bed. We have a nice big garden that she’s able to play and roam around in for outside time. In addition, we live in a very safe residential neighborhood that we enjoy taking her out for her daily walks. We also live nearby a dog cafe, where we take her weekly to get some doggy social time while we hang around and sip our coffee.

We recently had the pleasure of having Steven as our dog sitter while we were away for a week, and we couldn't be more impressed with the care he provided for our three dogs. Steven demonstrated all the qualities that make an exceptional dog sitter. Every morning, Steven came over regularly to feed our dogs, give them treats, and spend quality time with them. His dedication to their well-being was evident in the beautiful pictures he took and the daily updates he provided, which kept us reassured and connected to our furry family members. Steven's attentiveness and proactive approach were amazing. He would check in on the dogs if he had any concerns, such as during a storm, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. His genuine care and commitment to our dogs' happiness and health truly set him apart. We highly recommend Steven to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. His professionalism and love for animals make him an outstanding choice for pet care.

Omari was too good with our home and our two cats. She has a great bedside manner and sense of empathy which is the main trait you need to love animals and help them feel safe and loved. She followed our instructions and made our cats feel like their routine was unchanged. She is very kind and patient and proactive. You’d be glad to have her availability! Thanks Ormari!

Malia has once again outdone herself. I asked her last minute to add an extra visit to check on my kitten who had gotten into some mischief before I left for my trip, and she did so without hesitation. My two kitties absolutely adore her and I am so grateful to have Malia to look after them and give me peace of mind when I'm away. She is thoughtful, consistent, communicative, and so caring. I could not recommend her more!!!! Truly 11/10!!!!
