Vanessa is an amazing cat sitter. My cat is very picky about who she interacts with and absolutely loved her. She was very prompt to do a meet and greet, and communicative about her schedules and updates. I was very relaxed on vacation knowing that my cat was being taken care of with care while I was gone and already plan on using her for future visits!

About: I’ve had pets throughout my entire life. Since 2008 I’ve helped foster “ruffly” 150 animals of all sizes, ages, tails and ears. I currently have a rescue cat, and I’ve had many of my own dogs as well over the years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available pretty much anytime during the week, some Saturdays (especially during the winter) and most Sundays to help take care of your pets needs. I treat animals with care and respect. I make sure to give them the love, kindness, and compassion that they deserve. I take care of my animal’s health and safety needs by taking the time to play with them, feeding them the best foods, and paying attention to any physical and mental changes.

About: I've had the privilege of caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I've helped my parents train (through training classes and at home), walk, feed, bathe and enrich both of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pups for the last 15 years. I also had the opportunity to take care of my roommate's two gorgeous cats in college. In October 2023, I rescued my own kitty that I care for night and day. When I’m not lounging with Zilla, I like to spend time with my friends and family, try new restaurants with my boyfriend, exercise, and jam out to music in my car. I've done many overnight stays at friends’ and family members’ homes while pet sitting, and I encourage you to browse my testimonials to learn more about how passionate I am about nurturing animals. I have experience with: - puppies/kittens - adult dogs/cats - dogs of all sizes I also work full-time at a marketing agency focused exclusively on the pet industry, so I've learned an immense amount of information about pet health, pet care, pet safety and breed-specific behaviors/characteristics. My current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. I look forward to becoming your local, trusted pet sitter! As mentioned, my current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. Monday evenings and Tuesday's are the only times I'm usually unavailable. Feel free to message me to discuss my availability as needed - I can be flexible! I'm happy to stay overnight at your home to make your pet(s) feel more comfortable. You know your pet best, so I'll make sure to follow the instructions you give me and make the experience as stress-free as I possibly can for your pet(s). I'll make sure your pet is on a leash/harness whenever I take them outside (unless you have a backyard that is fenced in, of course), and will avoid interactions with other animals during walks if you have a reactive pet.

Kisha was an awesome sitter for my two cats. From her pictures, I saw they got plenty of playtime and love. She also went above and beyond taking care of the house. She definitely will be a go-to sitter for us!

Claire was great to my 2 cats when I was away. I have an old grumpy cat and by the last day or two he finally let her actually pet him! Huge step for my guy. She took very good care of everything..would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs help!

About: I’ve have a lot of experience with animals through the years of my life. I have taken care of my family members dogs while they were away so I have some kind of experience with babysitting dogs. I’m really patient with senior dogs since I did have a senior dog for the longest time and he really made me more patient with dogs like him. I’m currently working part time but recently they have been cutting hours for staff so I will more time to take care of your babies! I care for your pets as if they were my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I provide plenty of attention while making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I keep spaces clean, respect house rules!

About: Hi, I’m Art I’ve spent the past 10+ years immersed in the world of dogs—personally, professionally, and through volunteer work. From working at PetSmart to volunteering in dog rehabilitation programs, I’ve built deep experience with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve been a proud dog owner for over a decade and a trusted sitter for friends, family, and clients who rely on me for consistent, loving care. Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, gentle companionship, medication, or just a calm, dependable presence—I’ve got it covered. Dogs aren't just animals to me—they’re family. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and loved whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. You’ll get plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in experienced hands. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet—I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work overnights and I am available during the day noon to 9 pm. I am available weekends with some advance notice. Available in house or come to you with notice. I have a fenced in yard that we do not use chemicals on and monitor for pests or plants that are not animal friendly. Home comes stocked with a friendly playful dog, toys, and cat that will probably hide.
