About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was little for family and neighbors. I can bathe, walk, feed, and care for dogs. I have 5 cats so I am very well known with how to care for a cat, I can clean litter boxes, feed, and care for all cats. During the week I am available early in the morning before 8am, and I also am available after 3 most days during the week. I am available on weekends at any time. I have 4 cats and feed them everyday. I also give one of my cats medication everyday. I take very good care of my cats, I have watched over a cousins dog in my home and it went very well, the cats never messed with him and he was very happy. I have also dog sat my brothers dog many times since he was a puppy.

Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!

About: I come from a family of veterinarians so I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t around animals or caring for them. I’ve been lucky to have an array of pets including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, squirrels, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles and exotic fish. I’m currently in medical school and trying to earn some extra cash. I’m busy during the day due to school, but can study anywhere in the evenings to house sit. I can walk, feed, and keep pet company. I’m used to following long instructions for care, such as, different times and types of medications or supplements that need to be given.

About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.

Tez is amazing!! She’s our go-to pet sitter for our two cats whenever we go on a trip. She’s really considerate and goes above and beyond to make sure they have everything they need. Our cats are super shy because they were adopted during COVID but they’ve actually started coming out when Tez visits because she’s such a kind and caring person. We love working with her!!

About: I have taken care of family members dogs on and off since I was 10. I also have a cat myself so I am well equipped to take care of your fur baby! I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a free schedule to take care of your pup through the week, including weekends. I am primarily looking to do dog walking services, where your dog and I will walk around town, and get our steps in together! I may be open to house visits after getting to know your pet.

About: I’m big on personalized, one-on-one care and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I’m very attentive, detail-oriented, and observant of body language, so I try to understand each pet’s comfort level, energy, and routine rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. As a dog owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Because my work is contract-based, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during the week for pet care. I love animals, and as a dog parent myself, I’ve kept my availability open during times I know are especially helpful for other pet parents. I’ve built walks and drop-in visits into my routine and like to keep my schedule manageable so I can be reliable, attentive, and fully present with each pet. I know how important trust is when someone is coming into your home and caring for your pet. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and very mindful of a pet’s body language and comfort level. I aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care so your pet feels safe and well looked after in their familiar environment. Happy to offer a free meet and greet beforehand so you and your pet can feel comfortable and see if it’s a good fit.

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

About: I’m a very patient and understanding individual, especially with dogs who may need extra time to feel comfortable. We have a rescue dog with a difficult past who doesn’t always feel safe in new environments or around unfamiliar people or dogs, so we truly understand how important it is to find the right fit. That’s actually what inspired me to start Rover, to provide a safe and secure space for dogs like her. I have experience as a dog foster with rescue dogs and those who may be a bit nervous or shy. I have a separate floor in my home where your dog can have a quiet space to decompress and feel comfortable during their stay. Because my dog is territorial and does not get along with other dogs, I will keep her completely separated from your dog. Also have a nice fenced in yard where they can around and play. I would love the opportunity to watch and care for your furry family member :) I work from home full-time in IT, so I’m around all day to keep your dog company. They’ll get enough attention, potty breaks, and won’t be left alone for long periods I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. Inside, I have a finished basement with windows where they can relax and keep me company. This setup allows me to comfortably separate your dog from my dog and kid , ensuring a safe and stress-free environment.

Oscar might love Pete more than he loves us! He was THRILLED to go over there and spend some time with his best friends. I love that Pete gives us such detailed recaps and pictures - it helps put our minds at ease, and we're always thrilled to see and read how unbelievably happy Oscar is while we're out. He came home exhausted; he tried so hard to keep the party going, but fell asleep very quickly and was out for the night. Thank you so much again, Pete!!

Truly professional! Anastasiia and Ivan are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was my first time leaving Bella for longer than usual, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having her stay at home with people she didn’t know. But after seeing their incredible reviews, I decided to trust them — and I’m so glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. They were detailed, followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, their communication was outstanding. They kept me updated on everything and always asked questions before making any decisions. They made me feel completely comfortable, and Bella was genuinely happy with them. One moment that really stood out: on their first day, after we had already left, Bella was feeling uneasy when they walked in. Ivan sat on the floor near her and patiently waited for her to approach him, creating a calm and safe environment for her. That level of care and understanding meant so much. They showed real affection and truly cared about Bella’s wellbeing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional sitters for their furry family members.
