About: I have been taking care of my friends and neighbors pets for a few years now, and they always come back! I have always befriended animals quite quickly and have never had a bad experience with any pets! I'm currently have lots of free time! I am able to stop by for longer visits; making sure your pets are less stressed! While I'm there, they will receive lots of attention and pets! I do a very good job of following the instructions to a T. I have never lost a pet and only ever treat the pets with the same love I treat my own.

“Grace was THE BEST house and petsitter I've had the pleasure to work with! The whole process just felt really easy with her -- quickly scheduled and efficient meet and greet, check-ins with pics daily, flexibility to accommodate my travel schedule, a clean home to return to. Would love to be able to book her again for future stays.”



“Kim stopped by our house to take care of our 2 cats while we were out of town for a week. She is very professional and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a pet sitter, especially local in hillsborough, to reach out to kim!”


About: Hi, I'm Meredith! I am an experienced, caring, and trustworthy petsitter. But don't take my word for it! Here's what others have said: "Meredith truly cared about my pets, and I felt completely at ease being away. As someone who’s very picky about who takes care of my dogs, I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter." "Meredith brought peace of mind, warmth, and reliability to our home. I’d trust her with our pets anytime." "Her calm energy and loving nature were exactly what our anxious rescue needed." "Meredith was fantastic. She cared for our home and animals as if they were her own." I’d love the opportunity to care for YOUR pets and your home! Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a house full of beloved cats and dogs, and I’ve raised several pets of my own as an adult, so caring for animals is truly second nature. I started pet sitting professionally in my 20s and recently returned to it with renewed passion and dedication. I now have over 7 years of direct pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of hands-on care with animals of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. As a responsible, organized, and nurturing high school English teacher with 20 years in the classroom, I bring calm attentiveness and excellent communication to every sit. I’m also a devoted mom to two kind-hearted, respectful animal lovers (ages 8 and 11), who may occasionally accompany me depending on the arrangement. If they do, rest assured they are gentle, supervised, and bring extra love to the experience. Whether it's administering medication to a senior pet, giving special attention to a rescue, or sticking to your pet’s unique routines and needs, I approach every sit with genuine care and commitment. I’m also experienced in basic training, gentle leash walking, and giving animals the calm, consistent presence they need to feel safe. If you have houseplants, I’ve got you covered there, too. I worked in my family’s garden center for years and enjoy keeping plants healthy and thriving. While I’m newer to this platform, I take each sit seriously and treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. I do not smoke, drink, or use drugs of any kind, and I always bring my own groceries and supplies. Communication is clear before, during, and after the stay, and you'll receive regular updates to give you peace of mind. I’m in a meaningful season of transition and using this time to do something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals while exploring new places. This work blends my love of travel and nurturing in a way that reflects my values. If you feel we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect virtually or in person, when possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! Pet care is a natural, joyful part of my everyday rhythm. As a longtime teacher and mom, I’m used to creating routines that are structured yet flexible, making it easy to adapt to the unique needs of each pet and home. Whether it’s morning walks, medication schedules, mealtime routines, or play and snuggle time, I build my days around ensuring animals feel safe, loved, and cared for. Because I’m in a season of life where I have more flexibility, I’m able to be fully present with the pets I care for and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, consistency, and calm companionship throughout the day. It’s more than just a task in my routine; it’s a grounding and fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the routines and environment your pet already knows and loves. I follow all instructions closely, whether that means administering medications, preparing special meals, sticking to walk schedules, or providing quiet companionship. I aim to create a calm, consistent atmosphere that feels safe and nurturing, so your pet can relax while you're away. Also, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. I’m clean, organized, and attentive to details, and I always communicate clearly throughout the sit to keep you informed and at ease. If my well-behaved, animal-loving children (ages 8 and 11) accompany me, it’s only with prior agreement, and they are gentle, respectful, and supervised at all times. Above all, I care for each animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and a genuine commitment to their well-being.

About: I have had dogs and cats of my own for 20 years. I have also fostered many dogs for animal shelters. I have experience with all sorts of situations from puppy training all the way to senior pet care. I also have horses that I care for. I work from home and am around all the time except when running errands. I usually have a dog on my lap while working for at least part of every day! I have a schedule I try to keep as far as feeding but potty breaks are throughout the day as needed. I have a huge fenced yard (about an acre) for lots of running and playing room. I crate my dogs when I leave the house and can crate for separation, if needed. I separate at mealtimes to avoid fights over food. I also have multiple gates between rooms for separation and containment.

About: I’ve always had pets of all kinds. I recently lost my best pal, and though I’ve considered getting another pet, it just doesn’t feel right just yet. I would love to host your fur babies and treat them like my own. I work from home. It gets so quiet and I’d be happy to have a couple fur babies to keep me company💕 I’m able to be with your pet all day, walk them as much as needed and more! I treat every animal in care like my own, and I’ve been accused of treating my pets like my children. I believe that pets are family, and I will do everything in my powers to ensure their safety and comfort while in my care.

About: I have two dogs, a Cairn Terrier and a Black Lab. I have dog-sat since 2019 and cat sat since 2022 and I can clean up accidents, give medications, and give them baths or just give them a walk and some attention. I have a pretty open schedule. I can be away from home from 6AM-10PM. I would like to be notified at least a day prior to know if there are any changes, unless there’s an emergency. I can provide a fenced yard, lots of love, and treats (if they’re allowed to have some). My goofy black lab loves meeting others and doesn’t care what size or age. My Cairn is small, very curious, and always tries to show who's boss.

“Puppy loved our first drop-in visit with Victoria (his first visit with a sitter or stranger in the house ever!) & looks forward to some play time and walkies in the near future. Victoria was on-time, respectful and friendly. We were at home, this was a meet & greet.”


“I can't say enough good things about Kari. She took care of our cat Ninja when we were overseas for 2 weeks and we felt carefree the whole time. She is very communicative, sending pictures, videos and updates everyday. She stayed overnight for a few days and left the house even cleaner than before. Ninja is a very anxious cat who doesn't like people but when we got home he looked calm and happy. She makes sure your pet is well taken care of, Ninja seemed uncomfortable with one ear and she informed us right away (it was nothing at the end). We are so grateful we have found her. She will be our fish choice next time without a doubt. We recommend her services 💯. She is amazing. Thank You Kari!!”


“Above all, Alex is dependable. He always shows up when you expect him. Alex is mature, responsible and personable. It was a pleasure getting to know him. I can tell that he's a real animal lover. And that's exactly the type of person I want to take care of my kittens. I highly recommend Alex!”


“Kerissa was the perfect person for checking in on my kitten. She was very sweet and played with him and fed him. A lovely person that we will book if we ever need someone again!”


About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for decades and love connecting with animals and making sure they have what they need. In addition to my own pets, I've worked as a pet-sitter, dog-walker, and spent time volunteering in animal sanctuaries and rescue groups around the country. I am as comfortable working with playful young pups and kittens as I am working with senior pets who may need extra help and gentle care. I am the mother of two and a freelance writer, and I also run a small herbal medicine practice. Pet care works well for me because my schedule is flexible and I can work around your pets' needs. I provide care within your own home, and I understand that pets are family; so establishing trust and providing responsible care with frequent communication is of utmost importance to me.
