“Magnoly is amazing! She took well care of my fur-baby (cat). She was on top of feeding and making sure he had water. He had a lot of playtime. If his area was dirty, she cleaned the area for me. The daily pictures were great to see how my cat was doing. He absolutely loved her.”

“Dayanara did an excellent job taking care of Cora. She followed directions and sent me pictures as well. She delivers such a great service. The Meet and Greet was very professional and she even brought some treats and toys. I was very impressed. Daya cleaned up a bit as well and I came home to a well organized living room. Cora and I are very thankful. I’m definitely going to rebook with her. Thanks Daya!”

“Arianna was very reliable and consistent - which was important to give our boy his daily medications. The cats warmed up to her and would take treats right from her hand. We felt good having her watch our babies.”

About: Hello! I’m Liz, a K-1 teacher with a passion for understanding the unique, non-verbal personalities of our beloved pets. With extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, I know that animal communication is all in the details—from a swish of a tail to a specific reptilian posture. I am responsible, nurturing, and looking to fill my extra time by providing capable, knowledgeable care for your "fur kids." Whether it’s high-energy dog walking or keeping your scaled/finned friends on their specific schedules, your pets will be safe, loved, and thoroughly engaged. I am currently working as a teacher in the afternoon and have morning and evening availability M-F for dog walking, daily check-in's, house sitting and more. As a K-1 teacher, I specialize in "reading the room" and picking up on non-verbal cues, a skill that allows me to provide an exceptional level of observant, intuitive care for your pets. My approach is rooted in safety and structured communication; I don’t just "stop by," but instead actively monitor body language—from a cat’s tail swish to a reptile’s posture—to ensure every animal is thriving. You can expect detailed updates after every visit regarding behavior, appetite, and health, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m double-checking heat and humidity settings for your exotic pets or maintaining hyper-vigilance during dog walks, I treat your home and "fur kids" with the highest level of professional responsibility, ensuring your space is secure and your pets feel safe, seen, and loved.
About: As a recent college grad who has just moved home, I am looking for ways to make a bit of extra cash as well as stay active!

Please let me know what works best for your schedule and we can coordinate throughout the week. I will care for your pet in whatever way I can. I am very respectful and attentive, and will follow your guidelines as you set them.
About: Hi, I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had the privilege of caring for all kinds of animals. I have had and cared for your everyday pets like cats and dogs and then your not so "normal" pets like a baby skunk, racoon, and squirrel. I love all animals. I have 1 male cat and 1 female cat that are both fixed and up to date with their shots. They are very friendly and get along great with other animals.I have a 14 year old daughter that helps me a lot with feeding and walking our “guests”. I live in an apartment with an unfenced yard in the back. We live close to 3 very beautiful parks. Your pet will be very comfortable here and well cared for. We will treat them like one of our own fur babies. The living room is open for all the pets to sleep in and we have plenty of room for crates if needed. My pets sleep on the couch but there is room for beds and other sleeping materials. My daughter loves to share her bed too, which is mostly where the pups sleep when they’re here. Excellent references available upon request I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m home late afternoon during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also home on most holidays. I have many repeat clients that love the freedom of being able to enjoy their vacation and feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for by someone that knows them and loves them. I am with the pets for most of the day and while I’m at work I have 2 cameras set up where I can see them at all times and talk to them. I’m open to house sitting but wouldn’t be able to spend all day there just because I have my daughter and my pets at home. But after work I’m able to stop in and handle anything that needed to be done. I’m home by 3:30 during the week and home all day on the weekends. During the summer my daughter is home and helps with bathroom breaks while I’m at work. I have an unfenced yard for the pups to play. We just keep the leashes on while we’re out. I can accommodate any food restrictions and administer oral/syringe medications as needed. I’m also available any time while your pet is staying with me, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Having grown up in a multi-pet household myself, I know first-hand the level of care and dedication that owning pets entails. I began petsitting when I was 12 years old, and have greatly enjoyed doing such in the years since. Friends, family, and neighbors have entrusted me on many occasions to take care of their pets. Aside from petsitting, I worked at a doggy daycare for nearly two years, where I built genuine and deeply meaningful bonds with all of the dogs in my care. I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, temperaments, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with training young puppies, including my own. I am very knowledgeable in reading animal body language and understanding animal behavior. I understand that every dog or cat is unique in their own way and that building trusting and meaningful relationships with animals take time and patience. With this, I try to meet every cat or dog where they are at and adjust my approach where necessary. For example, with shy or timid pets, I like to give them the space they need and work slowly to build trust and confidence to where they are fully comfortable in my presence. I am committed to making every visit a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I’m currently working part-time at the moment, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and care with your pet(s). The routine for each visit will depend on your pets’ needs, personality, temperament, and energy level. I will send pictures and updates of how your pet is doing by text throughout the day. I’ll make sure your pets have an positive and enjoyable experience, get plenty of play time/exercise, enrichment, and attention. Your pets’ safety is of utmost importance, and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure the environment is safe at all times. This could include but not limited to making sure to close or lock doors behind me, gating off rooms that are off-limit, crating your pet at night or when I leave, keeping things your pet may get to out of reach or locked away, following medication or feeding schedules, taking dogs’ out more frequently or at given times throughout day, being respectful of any allergies you, your household, or pet(s) may have. This will depend on you and your pets’ needs. As always, I’ll send updates and pictures throughout the day.
“Sharon was fantastic! She did drop in visits for our dog Izzie and we couldn't have been happier. Sharon kept us updated with photos and text messages each visit. Sharon is clearly an animal lover and treated Izzie like one of her own. We highly recommend Sharon and we can’t wait to use her again.”

“This was our 1st time using Hannah and she took great care of our 2 babies. They always looked so happy in all the wonderful pictures Hannah would send. She was always on time too. We will definitely use Hannah again. Thank you!”

Carina was so great! From booking to sitting, the experience with Carina was so smooth. She started off the booking by setting up I meet and greet with us so she got to know our pup prior to watching him. I loved that! She was so sweet and clicked with him immediately. For the sitting, she was thoughtful, on time, and provided the most thorough notes and pics that we really appreciated! In the rare moment she was late, she made sure to reach out ahead of time to let us know. She’s the best! Thank you Carina!

Emily was an amazing cat sitter! She came to our home twice a day for our 5 day trip. Our cats were very well taken care of! One of our cats, Katie, required special medication and Emily administered her medication perfectly. Our cats were very healthy and in great spirits when we returned. We felt very comfortable and was able to enjoy our trip after leaving our fur babies with Emily. She was very communicative via Rover app and text and sent us photos and updates every day. We will be rebooking with Emily again soon!!!!

Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!

Faith has taken care of our cat Bella every time we travel, and we always appreciate her help! She is reliable, communicative, and gives us peace of mind while we are away. We are grateful to have someone we can trust to care for Bella and would happily book with her again!
