About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.

About: What makes me different is my personalized, compassionate approach to every pet I care for. I treat each animal like they’re my own—paying close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. I currently work full-time but I would love to have another job on the weekends. I have a lot of time on weekends to spare and would love to help families with their animal. I have taken care of my finance families dog whenever they need me. I enjoy walking my animals around. I treat all animals like they are my own.

About: I grew up with a beloved family dog, and cats, and have two of my own Golden Retrievers now. I have a home in East Forest Park with a fenced in yard where my dogs love to run and chase each other. I'm working on a Canine Good Citizen certification with one of my dogs and look forward to volunteering at hospitals with him eventually. I treat my dogs like my children (because they are!) and will do the same with yours. I have experience raising puppies and caring for 2+ dogs at a time. I work a hybrid schedule between home and the office but can take remote weeks and work completely from home occasionally. I regularly work from home Friday and either Monday or Thursday so boarding over a long weekend would be easy. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly Golden Retrievers. My girl is a talker (barker) but friendly. I have a large comfortable crate in the living room that is available if needed.

“Awesome walker!”

“Was the first time using a sitter/walker and Samantha was so great with our little pug. She kept us updated and sent us pictures of them doing walks and enjoying the day. Couldn’t recommend a better person to trust with your pets when you are occupied or going out of the area. 10/10”

About: I currently only do Day Care because I have a Full-Time job. I am availaible for doggy daycare 7 days a week. (All day Mondays & Tuesdays) (10am-7pm, Wednesday-Sundays) as I work overnights those days. I apologize in advance if you come across my profile looking for boarding, or any other service I usually do. I can always work around my FT job schedule if needed. Your pet(s) will always have 100% of my attention, we will go for 30 minute to an hour walk as often as possible. I always let them on my bed and furniture if you allow them to. I can easily crate your pets if needed. I do not drive so I unfortunately cannot pick-up/drop-off your pets. I always walk them on a leash. All pets are allowed on furniture.

About: I have experience taking care of big and small dogs, shy and friendly cats, as well as aquatic life like salt water fish and turtles. I work from home full time so I am more than available to bring my work with me to house sit on occasion as well as use my lunch breaks to take your dog on a walk. I am good at following directions no matter how bizarre it may be. The safety of your pet especially in their own home is my top priority.

About: I can walk your pets under leash. I have patience for skittish or shy pets. Picky eater? No problem! I can stay longer if needed (same day only!), just communicate asap! I currently take care of a cat with bone deficiency and picky eating habits. I also stay in routine on the daily for my cat. I can take extra steps to ensure your pet is safe. I can safely cage a pet if needed. I make sure everything is locked and properly done. I am extra cautious with sensitive animals.

“Adam has a great way with Finn. I feel good having him watching Finn while I’m away.”

About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history. My husband Jack is extremely passionate about animals as well and is my partner in all of this so you get two dog sitters for the price of one! Between the two of us your pet will get so much love, cuddles & exercise! I also just want to add that our love for dogs extends to all animals so cats etc are all welcome to come hang with us :) Important Note: if you are reaching out for house sitting my husband and I only take those if we both are allowed to stay the night. We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter! I have a smoke free home and do not have any dogs currently living at my house so your pets will be my only focus! Also a child free home!

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life. I have currently at my house 2 dogs, 4 cats, 3 guinea pigs, a hermit crab, and a bearded dragon. I have the most experience with dogs, cats and guinea pigs however i have some knowledge of other animals as well! I have been taking care of animals sense i was 7yrs old and personally love them! I am a college student right now and currently have a job part time that i work every other week. I have plenty of time in between my classes to check up on your animals and make them feel better when your away. I take time out of my day to play with them, groom them and make sure their eating and drinking :) For my animals personally i have them all on a schedule, I feed my dogs their food twice a day or when its empty, and monitor whose eating what. I have my cats food upstairs where only my cats can get to it, so they can eat whenever they are hungry. For my older cat we feed her wet food because she is having a hard time with the dry food. Guinea pigs get their water switched out every other day, and they get fed 1/2 a cup each of food. Hay is given to them on a regular! They all get lots of attention! (the hermit crab and bearded dragon are not mine, I do not take care of them however i do have a general idea of how they are supposed to be taken care of!) I would also like to point out that I do think meet and greets are very important not just for me but also for your dog. I feel it is good to have a connection to the dog to make sure he or she is comfortable with me! that is why my bookings are two days in advance for dog walks and walk in visits and three days in advance for house sitting. I do feel that this is very important, because at the end of the day, I do not personally know you dog and your dog does not personally know me. (sorry for the little rant about meet and greets lol) So I have picked up watching animals full time for the summer, i love every one of the dogs i have met so far and hope to continue to meet new animals! I am very flexible throughout the day and i always keep my calendar updated! I always make sure your pets are doing okay, comforting them when they are feeling sad, playing with them when they are feeling energized, and making sure they stay on their schedule. I make sure i know exactly when they need to be let out, or go on a walk. When they need to eat, and what time to start settling them down for bed. Along when to get up.

“Mayreny was great with Louie! He doesn’t love long walks and she made sure to take him in when he was done and gave him some pets and loving while I was at work. Will be rebooking!”

My services include caring for dogs at clients homes: dog walking, feeding, cuddles, and play time! My safety along with my client's dogs is top priority!

About: I’ve been around dogs all of my life and cared for them for 4 consecutive years on my own while juggling life. I understand the ups and downs of taking care of animals and I carry no judgment! I am looking for something to keep me on my toes! What’s better than hanging out with animals! Making your pet happy makes me happy. Depending on the schedules provided by my clients and insights about their pet as well as depending on my previous knowledge to make sure your pets are loved and taken care of while you’re away.
