About: Hi! My name is Jasie. I am working full-time in healthcare and from home (which gives me lots of flexibility)! Animals bring me so much joy and I love meeting new ones anywhere I go. I am coming back from a break from the app, as I had some years to spend with my roommate’s two lovely cats but they’ve now moved away and I’d love to make some new neighborhood friends! Right now I will focus my business on caring for cats. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats (meds, extra food prep). When you want to spend some time away from home and don’t want to leave your animals alone or even just want some time to yourself, I would love to take care of them! I work from home so have plenty of flexibility to care on dogs and cats, especially dogs when potty time is more needed than usual. I can play with them as I take breaks from work as well! I can crate a dog or cat if needed. I am very careful and like to make sure your pets are in my view from wherever I am most of the time. If I have to leave, I’ll make sure they can’t find trouble!

“Leany was a great sitter, she looked after my dog on Christmas Eve. It was a busy day for me and without Leany's help, I wouldn't have been able to spend the day with family. I would definitely book her again in the future.”

About: Moved from Miami to Connecticut and starting to be open for pet sitting :). Note: Although our current home base is New Haven, we will be in Miami mid-May 2025 through early August 2025. ABOUT US: We have been taking care of a variety of pets over 20 years with our own pets or taking care of others. We have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, to even fish and turtles! We have the most experience with dogs and cats, but we are open to take care of other fuzzy, feathery or scaly friends! BILINGUAL: Hablamos Español. ❤️ OUR HOME: We live in the 2nd floor of an apartment complex. Our community is safe to walk around :). FAMILY DOG: We have a small dog (Natsu: Neutered, 9 lb, Papillon) who is good with other dogs/cats. We usually keep a dog fence between the living room and bedroom for a few days/visits as they get to know each other. For house sitting, our pup typically has to come with us. WHAT WE DO: I am a props master/scenic designer/technician and Claudia works from home as an eligibility specialist. As long as it our pup Natsu can come with us and there is internet connection then Claudia can give your pets attention and care all day with the occasional errand run/gym, treating them like our own. We take pride in our customer service, attention to detail, expectations for your pets, and your home as well. We don't mind taking care of plants if needed :). We are also open to travel long distances and out of state! PET CARE: We take care of the pets inside our home. We have a day bed that we change out the sheets any time we have a pet over so they have a comfortable place to rest, we enjoy walking frequently around our safe neighborhood. We clean dogs paws any time we go for a walk. We also use pet friendly cleaning products only. With permission, we have dog seatbelts for safety to take on short trips to the park or run errands. We can also continue with any training for the pet as long as details are given. We can provide oral medications as needed. We have not had experience with injectables but we are not opposed to learning how and there is two of us to help!

“Justina did a great job in making Blu feel at home today. I was happy to see how well my dog and Brody were able to play together too!”


“Mariana is amazing. Top notch. Will book with her again and again. There were photo and message updates. She tended to all of my pups needs and was so kind from the beginning.”


About: I have help take care of pups since I was young for neighbors and family. Five years ago I dog/house sat an amazing old pup for two months, walked another dog twice a week and was hooked! I love taking care of dogs, playing with them and getting to know their personalities. Over the years I have taken care of more than 20 cats and dogs. I’ve learned that all animals have their own distinct personalities and I try to adapt to their needs. I would love to help out with you animals while your away and make them feel at home. I’m a student now so I spend a lot of time at home studying and working so your animal will have a buddy to hang out with. I’m a student so my schedule is all over the place which allows me to adapt to your pets needs. I love going on walks in the morning and afternoon and can take them out throughout the day. I really adapt to how the animal is used to being treated and cared for so that they are as comfortable as possible because it can be jarring to have a new person in your home or taking care of you. I try to take cues from how they live in their own home, so if they sleep in their parents bed at home they do at my place but if their parents prefer them not to be on furniture they won’t be on furniture. I stay open and adaptable to their needs and their owners needs. I also make sure that the first day that we are together that we play, walk and spend time together so that they can warm up to me.

About: Grew up with horses, chickens, dogs and cats. I’ve bee. Pet sitting my whole life! I don’t get to have my own dog right now which is why I LOVE taking extra time to play with yours <3 I am a grad student at UM and I work from home full time. So I am very flexible and love taking study breaks to play with animals. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with one cat named Muse actually LOVES dogs, but she can be separated from your pet and put in the extra bedroom if needed. I don’t have a yard, but go on lovely walks in the nature center down the road.

13. Na Young R.
“I highly recommend Na-Young as a pet carer for anyone seeking extraordinary and thoughtful pet-sitting services. She previously took care of our two cats (lemon & smeagol) multiple times due to being our neighbor. She demonstrated exceptional dedication and even visited our cats more than requested just to simply make sure they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable. Her genuine love for animals is evident in her every action. As an owner of 2 dogs and previously cared for cats, she has a great experience with pets and ensures she understands the needs of different pets. My cats warmed to her immediately, and I felt reassured knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. Her natural warmth, friendly demeanor, and trustworthiness make her an ideal choice for anyone who wants the absolute best for their pets.”
