Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and loving pet care
I’ve always had a strong love for animals, and that has led me to become a dedicated pet sitter. From a young age, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and sizes—whether it was my childhood dogs, my family’s cats, or the many pets I’ve looked after for friends and neighbors. What motivates me to be a pet sitter is the joy I get from helping pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I truly believe pets thrive in a familiar, loving environment, and my goal is to provide that comfort while you’re not home. I have several years of experience in pet sitting and am well-versed in handling everything from basic care to more specialized needs, including administering medications and managing behavioral quirks. I’m also experienced in caring for small rodents like hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I know how important it is to maintain their routines and provide them with the attention they need. For the safety of all animals in my care, I do require that pets be up to date on vaccinations. This ensures a healthy and happy environment for everyone. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to help!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, my top priorities are their safety, wellbeing, and maintaining a sense of normalcy. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to stick closely to their usual schedule and daily habits. I treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would my own. I am mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and leaving everything just as I found it. I lock up carefully, follow instructions precisely, and stay in communication with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Building trust—both with pets and their owners—is something I take seriously. I aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can relax and be themselves until you return.
Ratings and reviews
Chayse is very reliable and helpful. She has always been on time for her visits and always sends us a detailed description of what she has done, together with a few pictures / videos of our cat. This is very reassuring for us when we're away. I definitely recommend her services for cat sitting :)
Chayse was absolutely amazing. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever met someone who connected with our dog so naturally and so quickly. Our dog is usually very shy and cautious around people. She does not approach or trust new people easily at all, so seeing her voluntarily walk up to Chayse really surprised us and meant so much to us. That alone told us how safe and comfortable Chayse made her feel. Chayse was incredibly gentle, patient, and understanding. She respected our dog’s personality and boundaries instead of ever forcing an interaction, and you could really tell that she genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. She was also very punctual and reliable, and kept us updated throughout the sitting, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Chayse went above and beyond our expectations, and we would absolutely trust her with our dog again. We highly recommend her, especially to anyone with a shy or cautious dog who needs someone patient, gentle, and understanding.
Chayse took great care of Piper!
Chayse has been a lifesaver watching over Maisie, would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a catsitter :)
Chayse is great and super responsive :) I usually have last minute requests and she’s always on it, would recommend
Chayse took very good care of my cat Mouchou. She was also Housesitting and kept my place very clean. When I returned, Mouchou was in good spirits which tell me that she was well cared for! I would highly recommend Chayse as a pet/house sitter.

Schedule
As a part-time university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet services seven days a week. I have made sure I have plenty of time during mornings, afternoons, and evenings to care for pets of all kinds. Whether you need daily visits, weekend stays, or last-minute help, I am usually able to accommodate. My availability includes weekdays and weekends, and I am happy to discuss specific timeframes to suit you and your pet’s routine.

- To provide the best care possible, I like to learn as much as I can about your pet before we get started. Every animal has their own personality, habits, and needs, so the more I know, the more comfortable and happy they will be in my care. It’s helpful to know about their daily routine—feeding schedule, walk times, favorite toys, and any special habits or quirks. I also ask about their health history, medications, and any allergies or sensitivities. If your pet is shy, anxious, or reactive in certain situations, I want to be prepared so I can approach them with the care and patience they need. Knowing how they usually behave at home, how they interact with new people or other animals, and any house rules you’d like me to follow also helps me create a calm, familiar environment for them. Your insights are what help me give truly personalized care.
