Judith did an excellent job taking care of my senior disabled dog. She asked questions when she was unsure about something and kept me updated about how he was doing. I've come back to a happy dog and would definitely have her sit for me in the future.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a toddler, and I currently own two senior dogs and a cat. I’ve volunteered at pet shelters while in college, and am ready to share the love! I’m currently a part time student, and have plenty of free time. I’m available after 3PM on the weekdays, and completely free on the weekends. I have two dogs and usually let them free roam around the house during the day and crate them at night. However, each pet owner has their own routine that I am more than willing to follow.

About: I have grown with dogs, particularly yorkshire terriers, since I was 4. I understand and love dogs, and have cared for family pets! I have taken care of animals of various breeds, age, and sizes. Although most of my experience is with small dogs, owning 6 yorkshire terriers, I have taken care of family pets, such as Blue Heelers, Huskies, and Great Danes. I love any and all dogs with all my heart. It is always an honor caring for ones pets, and it is an honor I will gladly do forever. I am currently a full time college student, (trying) to work a part-time job. Since we are on break, I am free everyday, any time, until late August/early September. I will update this once I (hopefully) get a job :) and if there are any changes. I am always willing to make a meet & greet, to ensure your comfort! Being a dog owner, I understand if you'd like to see if I am a good fit first. I will also keep consistent communication to give you peace of mine while you are away. sending photos and updates on your pets.

About: For many years, I have cared for animals of all types and sizes, including both house pets and community strays. Some of my favorite memories growing up involve looking after neighborhood cats to make sure they were happy and well-fed. More recently, I've become a proud pet parent to a Siberian cat named Odin (named because he was born with one eye.), and I frequently dog-sit for many of my friends and family. I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and dedicated care I give my own. I am currently in college studying nursing, which naturally helps me stay highly responsible and attentive to a strict schedule. While my routine is pretty flexible overall, during the summer months I will be most available for evening visits. This will soon transition into open mornings and midday blocks, making me the perfect fit for any animals in need of daytime walks and check-ins! My top priority is keeping your pet happy and safe. Having managed care for my own one-eyed cat, Odin, and many family friends' dogs, I know how to spot potential hazards before they can happen. I am always diligent about double-checking door locks and ensuring harnesses are secure so that your pets stay as safe as they can possibly be.

About: I am a competent college student well versed in the care of many types of creatures. From cats, dogs, bunnies, rodents, fish, and birds, i’ve done it all. I have experience with old, young, and sick pets and am comfortable with just about anything. I’m a college student and I have classes from monday-thursday 11-4:30. However, I do have time in between classes and after for more pet care. I am very respectful of the home and have pet sit for family and friends over the years. I am very clean and when you come back, it’ll be like I wasn’t even there!

About: I’ve cared for my own fur baby for 3 years, so I know what it takes to keep pups happy and healthy (and to survive the occasional “zoomies” and sock theft). While I’m new to professional dogsitting, I’m a genuine dog lover who vibes well with all personalities—from shy pups to playful goofballs. I provide chill, patient care and will try my best to keep your pup's routine on point! I just graduated, so my summer is wide open! Which means I can give your furbaby all the attention, care, and love that they deserve 24/7. I currently house a pup of my own, who's pretty shy but is very sweet and friendly once he warms up. He is fully crate trained and does well with dogs who respect his space. I will, of course, do slow supervised introductions to make sure every pet is comfortable! I live in a cozy and clean home with easy outdoor access for potty breaks/walks. Your babies will be in a safe environment and I will make sure to stick to their usual routine as closely as possible.

About: With over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and senior cats with specific needs, I’m dedicated to providing personalized care for each pet. I’ve dog-sat up to six dogs and two cats (in one household) at a time and have been trusted by neighbors to care for their pets for months at a time. I understand that each pet requires their own unique routine, and I’m always happy to accommodate. From special diets to loving attention, I ensure every angel feels safe and loved in my care. Pet care fits beautifully into my life. I have a very flexible schedule and work mostly from home while pursuing my yoga certification. This gives me plenty of time and presence to devote to your pets, ensuring they receive attentive, loving care throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and consistent environment where your baby feels safe and cherished. I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules and walks to cuddles and playtime — and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, emotional well-being, and any special needs they may have. I treat each home with respect and care, just like I would my own, and make sure your pet feels nurtured and at peace the entire time you’re away.

This was a very good visit. Kiara and I got to meet Katherine, and we loved her energy and cheerful spirit. She has a great deal of knowledge on dogs and their behavior, as well as first aid and special cares they might need. We’ll definitely be booking more days with her.

Angelica dropped in to care for my sons praying mantis. I had a hard time finding a sitter who was willing and enthusiastic to care for our little guy. His needs are unusual but she followed all of the instructions perfectly and we arrived home to find him perfectly happy. Thank you Angelica.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm caring for many different types of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve also trained several of my own dogs, giving me experience with basic obedience, routines, and handling pets with different energy levels and temperaments. In addition, I’ve pet sat for friends and family many times, caring for pets as if they were my own by providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and dependable care. I’m passionate about creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for every pet I meet. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule during the weekdays and full availability on weekends. I currently work full time during the week, but I’m able to leave on breaks and also accommodate early morning visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins. My weekends are completely open, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so making sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for easily fits into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they are happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I have experience handling animals with different personalities and energy levels, so I’m patient and adaptable with each pet. Whether it’s walks, potty breaks, play sessions, administering basic routines, or simply providing companionship, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also respect my client’s home by keeping everything clean, organized, and following all instructions carefully.

About: Throughout my life, my family has owned several dogs. Unfortunately, we moved several times and couldn't take care of them. During these times, I was the sole carer of these pets. We own dogs as big as German shepherds to as small as a Shih-poo. Im an online college student, so my schedule is flexible. I volunteer in my church during the school year, so I won't be available Wednesday after six and Sunday 8 am - 12 pm. If a client has a specific routine then I will be more than willing to follow that routine. Services that I offer is waking dogs, taking them to dog parks, and dog sitting.

Yesenia was wonderful. She followed through with all our instructions and showed up as expected. She communicated so well and was so patient when I missed her call. I am so thankful she was able to care for our fur babies (3 cats, 1 pup) during our family outing. I would 1000% recommend Yesenia for your pet care needs. <3 Thank you, Yesenia!
