About: Animals are a valuable part of a community. I have always had a strong desire to assist in their happiness on this earth! Since I was a child, I have always had animals. It is apart of my nature to love and care for them. I also work at a Veterinary Hospital where I engage with various pets every day. This allows me to have a unique set of skills and knowledge that gives your pet the care that they deserve! I work at a Veterinary Hospital M-F from 7:30am-6pm. Depending on your location, I am happy to assist your pet in the mornings or evenings as needed. There is also an opportunity to assist during the lunch hours, in certain cases. Over the weekends, I am flexible and always open to negotiating times that work well for you and your pet(s). My location is in the midst of the beautiful and safe College Hill neighborhood. I am happy to assist your pet in my area or travel to yours depending on their comfort.
“I can't recommend Misty highly enough! She was absolutely fantastic with my kitten, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect while I was away. She sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about my cat's behavior, which brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared, and my cat was so content and well looked after. I will definitely book with them again! - Very nice having someone Thai reliable in the area!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now! I’ve taken care of both Dogs and cats of all sizes! I’ve been dog sitting for years and I have been working at Sydney’s pet resort as a supervisor for 4 years now! I have experience giving all animals medication and will help animals with any medical issues they may have! I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens and senior cats! I currently work Tuesday through Saturdays but I will work around my schedule to make sure I find time to care for your pets! I am typically free all day on Sundays and Mondays! I am currently not watching any animals in my own home but I am able to watch them in the comfort of their own home!
“Ellen was wonderful with my three kitties! My one kitty is 17.5 years old and has higher needs with meds and getting around. Ellen did great with taking care of my old baby! I’ll for sure be booking her again :)”

About: I’d be happy to help care for your fur babies! I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from young to old and small to large. My dog is a lovable couch potato so I’d love to visit with pets who like to play, but I’m also experienced in senior dogs with more complex medical requirements. Welcoming to all breeds, especially large breeds, pit bulls, pets with special needs, and elderly dogs. I work a traditional 9-5 job, like many of my sitting clients, so your pets schedule may remain the same as it would when you’re home with them! I’m an early riser so I can let your pet(s) out a couple times in the morning, directly after work, and throughout the evening and night. On weekends, my schedule is completely open. For in home sitting, I follow whatever boundaries or guidelines the owner sets for safety in their home. I rely on owners to give clear instructions on how to best care for their pets.

Samantha does a wonderful job taking care of my pup! He loves when she comes over. I have used her both for overnight care and weekly walks. She is very reliable and always sends lots of updates & pictures. She was also very flexible when I had a cancelled flight. Highly recommend for all your pet sitting needs!!

Jessie did a wonderful job sitting our dogs so we could attend a Christmas concert. We have a new puppy who gets into absolutely everything and Jessie kept her from destroying the house when we were gone LOL! She has also house sat for us in the past while we were on vacation and was a lifesaver! I would not hesitate to give her my highest recommendation!!! If you book with her you can relax and know your babies are in great hands!!!
