Pet care experience

Experienced and Devoted Pet Sitter

I adore animals and have been taking care of them my whole life. Animals have always been a part of my family. I grew up with dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters and recently have enjoyed raising chickens. When I was thirteen I started my own neighborhood dog walking business. Later friends and family trusted me with housesitting for their pets. I had many loyal clients and a reputation for providing quality care that’s reliable and trustworthy. I also volunteered for the Animal Care & Control in San Francisco where I socialized and cared for the dogs and cats that were waiting to be adopted. I am available to housesit your pets and I can board or provide daycare if you have dogs. I am also comfortable taking care of more than one animal and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds and temperament. On a side note, i’m great with plants so if you have any plants you need taken care of while you're away they will be in good hands with me :)

House Sitting • Jul 15, 2026

Jane was awesome again! I have 3 cats. One of them gets an inhaler 2x/day for asthma and has recently started a special diet that required us to transition to microchip feeders. Then there was a bit of a comedy of errors as a few unexpected things came up. Another one of my cats started urinating outside the litter box due to a household change a week before my trip. Jane was incredibly understanding about the litter box issues and flexible as I got more info and interventions from the vet leading up to my trip. Then 2 nights before I was set to leave, my whole trip was shifted back by one day due to a scheduling error by the friend I was visiting. Jane was accommodating and flexible again. I'm so grateful that despite all the last minute changes, Jane was still able to watch my cats so I could get away for a weekend! She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, and I came back to a tidy home.

Jane was the best watching my sweet gal. She gave me plenty of updates and in every picture Mae was wagging her tail and looking very happy. We will definitely have Jane over to watch Mae again!

Jane did a fantastic job with our cats while we were away for 10 days. She sent regular photo and video updates of them getting quality one-on-one time and lots of playtime. We also came home to an immaculate house (almost cleaner than how we left it). She was also comfortable with my collection of houseplants, which was a big help. We will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we have a trip. Thank you, Jane!

Schedule

I currently live in Oak park with my mom and our 9 year old dog Tilly. I have more info and pictures of her on my profile, however in short, Tilly is sweet, gentle blue nose Pitbull. She enjoys all company and is delighted to have other furry guests stay with us. She is not territorial or aggressive and gets along well with most dogs. My mom and I are home most of the day so your pups will be well looked after and will have plenty of opportunities for walks/potty breaks. We also have a large fenced backyard for the dogs to play in and plenty of space inside for your pups to lounge. Personally I enjoy cuddling on the bed with my dog and your pups are more than welcome to join us :)

Safety, trust & environment

If you are looking for a safe, reliable and loving home for your pups while you're away, than you've found the right place. Or if your pet prefers to stay home, I can come to you! Either way, I will treat your pets like my own and you can be assured that they will get lots of love, attention, cuddles and exercise :)

Pets

I like to provide lots of enriching activities for the animals I care for whether its through play, walking, running and socializing. Depending on the dog and weather, I try to take one long walk daily in addition to potty breaks for exercise.

I am flexible and willing to accommodate your dog(s) needs, however if I am boarding them they must be potty trained and generally well mannered/behaved. They also must be comfortable with other dogs (especially big dogs) as they will be around my dog Tilly. Tilly is very friendly and gets along well with most dogs, however I would prefer to schedule a meet and greet to make sure it's a good fit on both ends. Additionally, the following information will help me provide the best care for your pets: - Does your pet(s) have any medical concerns? ie. rashes, allergies, skin tags, lumps, scratches, etc. - Are they fully vaccinated? - Do your pet(s) have any unique quirks/behaviors? - Are they allowed on furniture? - Do they pull on walks? - Do they have separation anxiety? -do they bark a lot or get into things they are not supposed to? - Do they get along with other dogs? - How do they play with other dogs? What is their favorite form of play - ie. tug-of-war, tag, fetch, wrestling. - Have they been socialized? - Are they alpha/dominant or submissive/neutral? - Do they have any triggers they are reactive to? - What is their feeding schedule/needs? Are they food aggressive/protective? - Have they been microchipped?
