About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was six years old, and over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter in my family whenever anyone travels. It’s something I truly love, so I decided to share that care and attention with others in my community. When I walk your dogs, I aim for a solid 2.5 to 3 miles during each hour-long session to give them the exercise they need and deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-looked after every step of the way. You can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I’m a freelance artist with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m available for overnight stays every night of the week and can easily work around your schedule. Whether it’s daytime check-ins, long walks, or overnight care, I’m here to provide reliable, loving support whenever you need it. I have a completely fenced in yard and a sweet little dog named Kirby. I work in my garage so I’m always aware of what is going on in the yard as it is right next to me. I take breaks often throughout the day and spend lots of time playing with my own fur baby so I’ll have plenty of time to devote to yours as well.

“I have used Natalie before and highly recommend her. She's great at communicating along the way and I trust her to watch my cat when I'm out of town. I will hire her again for sure!”

About: I began caring for cats when I was just 10 years old. I've grown up in a family deeply committed to animal welfare; for the past decade, we've been rescuing homeless cats, giving me firsthand experience in addressing the unique needs of cats from diverse backgrounds. My own cat, Miaomiao, is now 11 years old, and caring for her through various life stages has equipped me with the skills to manage both the energetic demands of younger cats and the gentle care required for seniors. My compassion for animals drives me to provide the highest level of care, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their owner's absence. I currently work part-time, which allows me ample flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets. I am available from Wednesday to Saturday each week, ensuring I can provide consistent and attentive care during these days. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets. I start by adhering to the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to minimize their stress. This includes feeding, walking, and playtime schedules based on the owner's instructions. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and secure to prevent any accidents. For in-home care, I respect the client's space and maintain cleanliness, ensuring that the pet has a healthy and hygienic environment. Additionally, I provide regular updates to owners, including photos and messages, so they feel connected and reassured about their pet's care. My approach is always tailored to meet the specific needs of each pet, whether they require extra playtime, special dietary considerations, or need medication administration.

“Michael is amazing! He’s very communicative and on time for each visit. He spent extra time and look all over the house to find our shy cat after we express concern - it ends up she’s hiding in storage space in the basement! We appreciate the effort.”

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. They are the best things in life. I will care for your babies as my own and mine are definitely spoiled 💕 I normally have the ability to pop in on your kiddos throughout the day to check up on them, give them potty breaks, and pets with love and conversation. For longer overnight sits I can water plants, put out your trash and depending on size and temperament I can also wash them free of charge. I'm not a professional dog groomer, it's just a wash and dry. I will follow any care instructions you have, use the same commands, walks, feeding schedule, etc. For my babies I have a fully fenced up patio and there's lots of good walking paths around my home for their exercise. My dogs go where they want and I don't restrict them from the furniture, but if you don't want your pets on furniture, I will follow your instructions.

About: Hi! I am Matthew, a reliable sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I can always adjust to the energy of an animal to make sure they feel loved, safe, and understood. I have had a dog for almost my whole life and do great with my friends and family pets when I take care of them. I can always make sure to pay attention to your pet and give them whatever care they need whether it’s an hour walk or a nap after. I am a college student home for summer with some free time on my hands so I have the ability to be flexible. I keep a consistent routine with my studies, but can always make time for a loving pet. I care for pets by just trying to understand their needs. Having a dog for most my life has allowed me to know what is good for dogs and what is not, and I can always learn more to each dog specifically. Loving an animal is easy, so I will always care for them like one of my own.

“Annie is very professional, even my shame baby Hyena like to play with her. She sent a whole pile of photos and leave detailed notes about the things she has done. She also care about our room, keep the room clean and tidy. Will definitely rebook with her!”

“Michelle helped my family administer an Adequan injection on a drop-in and we couldn't be more grateful for her help! Her communication was great beforehand and her professionalism really put me at ease. She was super punctual and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, including three family dogs—one a senior Boston terrier with seizures who I monitored closely and comforted through episodes. I’ve raised and cared for multiple cats, including my own Ragdoll. I’m very attentive to animals' physical and emotional needs, from energetic pups to aging pets with special care requirements. I’m also very active and able to walk or run with dogs who need high-energy exercise or longer outings. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands-on experience, my calm demeanor in stressful situations, and my genuine love and respect for every animal I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I’m home-based and active throughout the day, which means I’m flexible for walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I love being outdoors and can easily accommodate long or energetic walks, or simply provide consistent companionship throughout the day. I'm available mornings, evenings, and weekends to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment. I monitor animals closely, keep them on their usual feeding and medication schedules, and make sure they always have clean water and comfort. I’ll follow your home’s routines and rules to ensure your pet feels secure and supported. I’m attentive to any signs of stress or health concerns and will always communicate openly with you.

“It's becomming easier to go away on trips knowing our Abra is in good hands. Rachel is highly experienced so reliable and attentive with our Abra.”

“Wow!! Nina is the best Rover I have worked with! Nina came by for a visit to meet our dogs before we finalized our contract. She was very respectful and a calming influence on the dogs.
