“Juliana was a joy to work with and took thoughtful care of my home and dog! She was knowledgeable, kind, communicative, and patient with Hugo getting used to her. Upon my return, she had followed instructions thoroughly and carefully, and Hugo was well cared for and happy. And so am I! Thank you, Juliana!”

“Samuel did a fantastic job watching our dog who is both quite reactive and recovering from ACL surgery. We already rebooked him for next month and highly recommend him for anyone needing peace of mind while they’re away from their fur baby.”

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently working a part-time internship related to my major for school. This internship only takes up 15 hours of my time during the week. I am available to play and care for your pets any time during the weekend and when I am not working. As I do not have my schedule yet, I estimate most of my time will be spent with your pets in the evening during the week and whenever we can make work! I am very flexible. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

“This was our first time ever using Rover, we usually leave our pets with a trusted family member or friend, and we are beyond impressed with our experience with Shemoy! Shemoy is just the sweetest; she sent several photos, including one holding our cat Alice who never warms up to any strangers! We will definitely be using Shemoy again and highly recommend her to take care of your pets.”

“I contacted India on relatively short notice for pet sitting. She was available to come meet us and our dog before our trip. India did a wonderful job taking care of our older German Shepherd who is dealing with some skin conditions. She was very caring and followed all of the instructions that I left for medicine and wound care. We appreciate the care that she gave our girl and will definitely book with India again to take care of our dog. We also have a bearded dragon and fish that she took care of as well. Highly recommend India for pet sitting.”

“Skyler was professional and caring with our pets. She stayed 72 hours in our home and left the home clean and the dogs very happy. We will absolutely be contacting Skyler the next time we need her services as she was a joy to have in our home while we were away playing and caring for our two large dogs.”

“Kristen was absolutely wonderful with my Pomeranian mix, Jasper, over Spring break. From the very beginning, she was flexible with my schedule and made the whole handoff seamless and stress-free. It was clear she genuinely cared about Jasper’s comfort and wellbeing. She was attentive, communicative, and completely dedicated to making sure he was happy and well looked after while I was away. Knowing Jasper was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away without a second of worry. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Kristen again and recommend her without any hesitation!”

“Lauren was AWESOME with our Baron! We greatly appreciated her love and attention to him while we were away and clearly he did too!!!! She was great at giving us daily updates and pictures and treated our home as if it were her own. We highly recommend her for pet and house sitting, but hope you don’t book her when we need her next time 😜. Thanks Lauren!!!”

About: I have fur babysitting experience over the past year. I understand what it’s like to have to put your full and undivided attention into a child to ensure its safety and well being, and do nothing different with the pets I take care of. They will be no need to worry when I’m taking care of them. Currently working part time and in school at CSM. Can be very flexible with scheduling to ensure the pets get the proper love and affection that they deserve and need. I give the pets constant love so that they don’t feel down when their owner isn’t home. I understand that pets can feel sad or get into a rut when their parents are not home, but I will do everything to make sure they feel nothing but love. I send lots of photos so you will feel connected while away.

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

“Kim is simply the best. I'm so glad I found her. She is so prompt and follows Lexi's schedule exactly. It's so hard to find someone like her. We are so grateful!”
