“Trisha was a great sitter for our golden retriever. She did everything that was asked of her and went over and beyond our expectations. Communication was great though out are whole trip.”

About: I have always taken care for friends family and neighbors since a child. All animals are good even reptiles. Love all animals.Want to earn extra income. Empty nester with only one cat at home.Right now I sit for my grand dogs when my adult kids go out of town.m My son has 2 medium mixed dogs and my daughter has an Aussie doodle. I live with elderly Mom and work from home 9 to 5. I have extra time on my hands . My kids are grown and pets have aged out. Can work nights weekends and middle of day breaks if close enough. I can come for visits or stay over as I have someone at my house for my cat. I can give weekday morning noon and evening visits and open all weekends.

“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

About: Hello, I am Robert and I look forward to meeting & getting to know your pet(s). 🐕 🐈 🤗 —————————————————— I also offer to care for your home and water & feed your plants while you are away. I have experience caring for both indoor & outdoor plants. 🪴 —————————————————— As a professional sitter, it is my goal to provide you, the pet/ home owner, the peace of mind that your pet(s) and your property is being left in capable hands caring for your beloved pet(s) and home. ———————————————————————————————————— I am a cheerful, friendly, responsible fellow. I am an experienced home owner, non-smoker & a non-drinker. I don’t do drugs. You will learn that I am caring, thoughtful, honest and respectful. I will plan to be as communicative and responsive as you wish while you are away providing you updates regarding the well being of your pet(s). —————————————————— For my entire life I’ve owned and cared for pets off & on. I fondly remember my Beagle, Brownie, when I was growing up. We had a special long standing connection. I reminisce how Brownie used to love to launch herself off the dock, into the lake, going after balls I’d throw for her. 💦 —————————————————— We had many cats both as I grew up and while married. One cat, we called Mr. Mayor, we had micro-chipped and it was a good thing because one day he disappeared. We feared he had headed out of town in a neighbor’s U-Haul but no… three years later we received a call from Animal Services that a neighbor, two blocks away and across a busy street, had apprehended Mr. Mayor digging in her garden and took him to Animal Services. We were both amazed and overjoyed to receive Mr. Mayor back in our home. 🥰 —————————————————- At about this same time, we had adopted two more cats and I built a cat run attached to our house complete with cat walks & perching platforms. I also fondly remember Arnie at this time, a beautiful rescue Golden Retriever. I used to love taking him for walks in the neighborhood. —————————————————— More recently, I pet sat for a couple, Katrina & Alexander, in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. I cared for their 2 bunnies, Indie and Misty; their tropical fish and their many house plants while they were visiting Belgium. The bunnies were quite frisky! ☺️ ——————————————————- In 2023 I also cared & walked Watson, a gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback, while visiting some friends in Savannah, Georgia. Walking Watson was a joy & a great way to get to know Savannah some and develop a new friendship. ——————————————————- On two occasions I cared for Thaddeus, a very good plushy brown Labrador mix. I walked him, fed him and provided him with his medication. Sometimes we would enjoy extended walking adventures together. Wow, he gets so excited about going for walks and his meal times especially when he was on his “Farmer Dog” dog food! He would prance so high & around for this delicious gravy. (I was a “repeat pet parent” here.) 🐕 —————————————————— Another Recomendation: * Bob stayed with us for a few days in 2023 and graciously walked our dog, Watson, while we were at work. The two of them really hit it off. Watson is quite affectionate. We highly recommend Bob to you as a pet sitter and know you will be pleased how he will care for not only your pet but for your home as well.

I am retired so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pet(s) although I am currently preparing to purchase a boat then sail around the world. Until I own the boat and can move on to her, I’d like to pet & house sit. It is my top priority to keep both your pet(s) and home safe and conduct my pet sitting/ house sitting business in a professional, ethical and caring manner with integrity and reliability. It is my intention to keep your house clean, organized and in better shape when you return than when you left it. It is my aim to keep your pets’ routines as close to what they are accustomed to while you are with them.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ll go above and beyond for animals. I’m patient, strong, caring, and I understand the attention that each animal needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own and my fur babies are family. I understand the stress of leaving your animals so I hope to gain the trust of you and your animals! I work from home so I have the flexibility of being with your pets for most of the day. I currently work from home and have the flexibility of caring for animals whether it’s a drop in visit, multiple walks, or day care. I’ll be there. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my cat is as sassy as a dog. I have a condo with a large grassy area for walks and I take my own dogs on a 3 mile walk around the house.

About: I’ve cared for energetic puppies and senior pets, handling feeding, walks, routines, basic training, playtime, and extra patience while learning each pet’s unique personality. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide dependable pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the week and on weekends. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect and genuine care. I carefully follow your instructions, lovingly supervise your pets, keep their routines consistent, and always keep you updated with their well-being.

“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Melissa – A Lifelong Animal Lover with a Personal Touch Growing up with animals taught me early on how to understand and care for pets with love, patience, and respect. Over the years, I’ve rescued, trained, and nurtured countless fur babies. I treat your pets like family because that’s what they deserve. We specialize in providing one on one attention by only hosting one dog at a time (or siblings from the same home), so your pet gets a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. We believe in positive reinforcement, mental stimulation, and physical activity especially with the beach nearby for fun walks and playtime. I also bake healthy homemade treats and often add a little pet spa love for extra pampering. Your pet may even learn a new trick or two! You can get a feel for who we are by checking out our journey on TikTok at #lolasdoggycare We’re here to love and care for your fur baby just like you would maybe even a little extra. I have a small business from home, so the flexibility is there. I make pet products as well as homemade products so I set my own hours. I treat all the fur babies as if they were my own child or pet. I follow their schedule and give them my undivided attention and do lots of playing! We go get our walks or smelly’s. 🐶

“Keera was great to have stay with Luna. Lots of photos and updates. Came home to a happy dog and clean house. Look forward to having her stay again.”

Leanne K.

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

“She was very nice and reliable.”

“Terra did an amazing job with communicating and providing the necessary care to our pets and home, while we were in vacation. She truly showed professionlism in asking the necessary questions. I'm sure our pets loved her based on all the GREAT photos she sent. Plus our house was exactly like we left it! We will definitely use her again!! Thanks Terra!”

Sharon H.

“Wonderful sitter! She took great care of our pets, came over for a meet and greet beforehand, listened patiently as I explained my older dogs needs, and was communicative while we’re gone. She left the house clean and tidy and was a pleasure to get to know.”

About: With years of hands on experience caring for my own dogs, family/friends and volunteering at rescue animal shelter dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring more than just reliability. I bring genuine love and connection to every pet I meet. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, from energetic playtime to calming routines, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. My goal is simple: to give your dog the happiest, safest, and most tail wagging experience while you're away. I am currently working a part time job so the days I am available to work are Monday's, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's! I am available anytime from 8am-1pm and if needed evening walks as well just shoot me a message and I will do my best to work around your schedule and needs! I am very open and flexible! I understand how important it is to build trust with both pets and their owners. For me, safety is always a top priority. At home, I ensure my pets are in a secure environment by using properly fitted collars, safe walking routes, and monitoring their behavior during play to avoid any potential hazards. I keep my home pet-proofed, making sure harmful items are out of reach. When I’m looking after clients' pets, I treat them with the same level of care and attention, sticking to any specific safety guidelines provided by the owner, like dietary restrictions, medication schedules, or leash rules. Trust is earned by being reliable, communicative, and consistent, so I make sure to keep pet parents updated with photos, texts, and progress reports.

About: I’m a full-time teacher, and I do dog sitting as a second job (during breaks) because I truly enjoy it.I’m attentive, reliable, and very comfortable following routines and instructions. I love spending time with dogs, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m especially good at reading behavior, providing structure when needed, and giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule, administering basic care, or just keeping your dog happy and relaxed, I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m a teacher, so I have a consistent schedule and plenty of availability before and after school, in the evenings, holiday breaks and on weekends. I enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I care for pets by following their usual routines and any instructions provided by the owner. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and feel safe and comfortable in their space. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I keep things clean, calm, and consistent.
