Highlights
Pet care experience
Disabled Veteran Paw Service
What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet I look after. I don’t just follow instructions—I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort cues so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering patience, consistency, and calm, especially for pets who may be anxious, shy, senior, or high-energy. I believe pet sitting is more than a job; it’s a responsibility built on trust, clear communication, and compassion. My goal is always to create a familiar, stress-free environment so both pets and their owners can have complete peace of mind

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly space, making sure doors, gates, and living areas are safe and free from hazards. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and comfort.

Whitaker is totally amazing! He is so awesome with dogs. He is very calm and confident and has experience. I would recommend him to anyone!!
Whitaker was amazing with our cats. He took the time before the booking to do a meet and greet. He followed all instructions and updated us while we were away, and his pricing is very reasonable. He has a great personality and is a true animal lover as well. We feel that our cats were in good hands and feel comfortable with him caring for them in the future.
Whitaker has cared for my pets multiple times throughout the year, and I truly couldn’t ask for someone more reliable. No matter the weather or the holiday, he is always punctual, dependable, and consistently goes above and beyond for my fur babies. I highly recommend his services.
Whitaker is an excellent pet sitter. He has taken care of our 3 dogs, our cat and a tortoise for us on several occasions when we were out of town. I highly recommend him for a pet caregiver. He is very passionate and caring. He has several pets of his own and I know mine are in great hands with him always.
