“Aaron has been an amazing sitter for my pets. I have an older lab and he has worked with him on several behavior issues and I see such a dramatic change in my dog! I highly recommend Aaron not only for pet sitting but training as well.”

“Lydia is exactly what I was looking for in a cat sitter-- reliable, communicative, flexible, and kind and patient with my shy cat. I felt I could rest easy while I was away knowing my cat was in good hands. Thank you so much, Lydia!”

About: Having grown up in a household bustling with three dogs and three cats, I've been immersed in pet care from a very young age! My hands on experience ranges from raising a German Shepherd to managing the boundless energy of a Husky and the loyal companionship of a Lab—each breed presenting its unique challenges. As a college student, I continue this passion with my beloved dog, Dewey, who is a constant companion. My specialties include embracing long walks (hiking is a favorite), potty training, and dedicating quality time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. As a recent college student with a vast amount of flexibility, I find more time to dedicate to my passion for pet care. Though I work part-time nannying , my free moments are often spent on long walks with my dog, Dewey, or those of my friends. These outings range from early morning walks to peaceful nighttime walks, seamlessly integrating into my daily routine. In my home, I create a welcoming environment for pets by ensuring they have a safe, comfortable space for their little vacation! I prioritize routine, from feeding and exercise to play and rest in my acred fenced backyard, adapting to the individual needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their familiar routines to minimize stress. Since each pet is different, I have to adapt to what they are used to at home to make them comfortable. I also keep thorough communication with owners, providing updates and seeking guidance to tailor my approach according to the pet’s habits and preferences. Whether in my home or theirs, I am committed to providing a nurturing and attentive care environment that meets each pets unique personality!

“Alexandra did an amazing job with our two kitties while we went on vacation. They were loved and well cared for, and she played a LOT with them! We definitely would recommend her!”

About: Growing up with a dog taught me how to care for them naturally, and now my fiancé and I are putting our love for dogs into raising our own puppy, a 7-month-old Cockapoo named Kenai! What sets me apart is that I provide the same meticulous, loving routine at home that I would bring to your pet. From daily care to managing his vaccines and vet visits, I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy, safe, and happy. Your pup will get my undivided attention, supervision, and plenty of love! Best Regards, Daniel Pet care is seamlessly woven into my everyday life. As a business owner, I have wonderfully flexible availability throughout the week and also weekends to ensure your dog receives constant attention. I maintain a safe, secure environment by actively supervising pets at all times, keeping hazards away, and following your exact routine. When I am watching your pet, I am as concerned for their safety as I would be for my own dog.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, starting at an age 12, I looked after small, medium, and large dogs, as well as parrots and fish. Family and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets because of my dedication and patience. Also, I provide a calm, one-on-one environment. My building has green areas downstairs for frequent potty breaks, ensuring your pet gets plenty of fresh air and personalized attention. As a student, I have a very organized routine. On Tuesdays and weekends, I am available all day for daycare. I’m Fridays, my pet care schedule starts at 3:00 PM, which is perfect for evening daycare or overnight stays. During these times, I am mostly at home studying, so your pet will have my full attention and frequent potty breaks in my building’s green areas! Safety is my top priority. In my apartment, I ensure all areas are dog-proofed and free of small objects. Since I live in a building, I always use a leash when taking pets downstairs to our private green areas to ensure they are safe and secure. I never leave pets unattended and I follow any feeding or medical instructions provided by the owners. I also love sending frequent photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and safe with me!

About: I have grown up around and taken care of my own and friends dogs over time. Always have had a love for dogs; I have never hesitated to care for the pets of my friends when they are in need of care. I am an online student and a volunteer at my church that has a very flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and punctual. I am able to provide care for pets throughout my day and week. Regardless of the service I see to it that they have proper care with not only the basics of food water and bathroom/walks. I also love to play with them and make sure they are socialized and not feel so lonely when their owner is gone.

About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog his meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.

About: I love dogs; I treat them as if they were another child in my family. They are always by my side, and I make sure they are doing well. I have a morning job, so I'm free in the afternoon to look after your dog—I love sleeping with them. I’m also free on Fridays and Saturdays to care for them. I take them for walks and make sure they drink water and eat well. I give them plenty of affection, always looking out for their well-being and making sure they feel right at home.

“Sam had a great time with Kim as evidenced by the photos she sent. It was evident that he felt really comfortable with her. We'll be seeing her again.”
