About: I’ve cared for all sorts of pets Chihuahua/Jack Russells, Pitbulls, Guinea Pigs, Cats, Beta Fish. Some had “human” problems and I created bonds with them. Some had been abandoned and I learned about and cared for them. Some I cared for from infancy to the end of their seniority. Some had Lymphoma and other health issues so I administered medicine and provided a comfortable and exciting way of life for them according to the pet’s desires. I sprint with pit bulls and relax with senior dogs, I create a playful and exciting environments and sometimes nap with dogs on the grass. I love the outdoors but even indoors there’s fun to be had. Regardless of the type of Pet I was always more than willing to learn more about them and adapt to what the owner and most of all what the Pet wanted. I hope that I can have the honor of meeting and getting to know your pet and in the process help you as the owner/parent by providing a great price knowing that your pet will receive the best of love and care. I’m currently available most days of the week with the exception of being busy on Wednesdays and Sunday’s but I still have time on Wednesdays. The more info I have about your pet the better I can care for your pet. I usually do my best to stick to a routine or at least somewhat of a schedule so that I can make sure to stay on track for feeding, walking, play time/free time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years and trained our beautiful lab from six months old by attending regular sessions which I really enjoyed. I am used to administering medications if needed and would love to look after your fur baby!

About: I've gained hands-on experience through helping care for my friend’s and relative’s pets over the years. This has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to different animals' needs. Whether it was walking dogs, feeding on a routine, or keeping pets calm, I learned how important it is to provide reliable, loving care. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family—because I’ve seen firsthand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. As a substitute teacher, my summer schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to taking care of your pet. Without a fixed classroom schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or check-ins. I enjoy having that extra time in the summer to give pets the attention and consistency they need while their owners are away. I always strive to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Before each stay, I ask for detailed instructions and preferences so I can follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, or walks based on their individual needs. Communication is a top priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured throughout my time with your pet.

Whether big or small, I will play, walk and spend lots of time with them so they don’t feel lonely <3 I’ll be moving out of state at the beginning of August, so just looking to make some extra cash to help with the pricey moving process.

About: Hi, I’m Gina! I’ve been caring for animals most of my life — from cats and dogs to bunnies, birds, and even the occasional reptile. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I meet them where they are with patience, love, and attention to detail. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in creating a safe, stress-free experience while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or just keeping them company, your pet will be in kind, capable hands. I work remotely most of the time, so I’m available throughout the day on both weekdays and weekends.

I make sure pets feel secure and supported while you’re away, and I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you have peace of mind.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I’m proficient in handling and caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, temperaments, and levels of need. I have over three years of professional experience caring for pets in boarding and day care settings, as well as providing walks and in-home services. I’m passionate about special needs animals and experienced in medication administration. I have recently moved back to the area and am maintaining a flexible schedule while I get settled.

Joemar A.
“Joemar is a gentle soul and has high morals. He loved walking my 2 chihuahua mix around his or my neighborhood. Once my babies passed away, he still retains an active lifestyle: jogging in the mornings or riding his bike everywhere, like doing groceries for his mom, which is when I usually see him. He’s conscientious and likes to be helpful when he can. When he’s at home, he’ll read a book, watch a movie or write to create a new recipe. He also likes to write plans and goals for himself to achieve in the next hour or by the end of the year. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, you will not regret giving Joemar a chance. He always does his best with his heart.”

Carmen R.Star Sitter
“Carmen is one of the most loving people I've ever met. She has so much love for animals (especially dogs) that I as a veterinary technician am astonished by. I've seen her with her own dog, as well as many other that she knows or we have met, and she treats them with such respect and love that you don't see very often. She sees them as equal with humans, values them as members of one's family, and takes the absolute best care of any animal she comes across. I would trust her with my pets whole heartedly and believe that she would be a wonderful pet caregiver.”

She took great care of our home, even bringing in packages and placing the garbage bins on the curb for trash day. I received lovely pictures and videos daily! My fur baby was the happiest he’s ever been following our return from vacation. I highly recommend Gina! She is like family to us now! Thank you so much Gina!”

Any animals they care for flourish, and are lucky to have them as a friend.”
