About: I have grown up and taken care of dogs of all sizes, for over 10 years for friends and family as well as neighbors. I have been in charge of feeding, walking, and bathing their dogs. I’m currently between jobs at the moment and have extremely open availability. I have all day availability as well to make sure your dog is taken care of whenever you need someone. I currently do not have any dogs at the moment, but love to spend time getting to know any animal to make sure I am respectful of their boundaries.

About: I grew up in a tropical country, surrounded by animals everyday. Naturally, learning and caring about them became my passion. I also have my own pet cats and dogs as well. I believe that I can provide the best love and care needed. I currently work at home, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! Preferably noon to night time only because I have to take care of my babies as well. I’m living in a single house right now with a cat and a dog. Your fur babies will have plenty of friends to play with here!

Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!

About: I have never had a pet of my own, but I have gained hands-on experience from roommates and friends. I have looked after smaller dogs, cats, and bunnies-helping with feeding, walks, and just love and attention. I am patient, dependable, and a fast learner. I want to make sure the pet and owner/s are comfortable!! I am currently a medical student and have more time during the afternoon/evening on Mondays, Thursday and Saturday night! Sundays are open completely, after Church (12pm)! I make sure I tend to what the owner wants me to do. I have open arms to the animal in their home. I offer attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and other things that the owner may need help with.

About: Since being owned by 7 cats ,I specialize in outstanding cat care,always aware of changing health, feeding habits or mood.That being said, dogs are my other passion and I was loved by a scotty and 2 collies of my own along with many different breeds I have cared for outside of my home .My special skill is paying close attention which has improved the life of senior dogs by finding innovative feeding styles and wound /illness attentiveness. I am a jewelry and bead designer and have a flexible schedule as most of my shows are online.This opens my days to loving pet care, last minute feeding needs or walks with dogs. I have cared for many pets in their people's home over the years and have handled every situation with care and integrity.It makes me happy to interact with owners during their time away when I know they miss their darlings.Photos and comments always assure owners and show how happy their pets are in my care.

About: Hi, my name is Laillanni!! ☺ Animals are my life! They make me happy. When I was younger I had different types of pets. For example, a dog, a cat, birds and hamsters. I would say one my strong traits are patience, courage and optimism. When it comes to people or animals, I definitely have patience with them. I believe, I am a great choice for your furry friend because they will be in good hands and will be waging their furry tail when they see you again! I also love to run. So if you have an active dog, just know we're gonna get a workout in and kick furry butts. lol At the moment, I have time on my hands to meet some new furry friends and get in shape if that's what they need. Can't wait to set up a meet and greet.🤗 I live in a small apartment. I don't have backyard. However, if your pet is staying the night at my apartment. We will definitely be outside at least 3-5 times a day.🏃‍♀️🐕

Came home to happy and well-adjusted pets. Logan did a great job socializing with our dogs and very shy cat. Loved the photos she sent us each visit. We could see that they were enjoying their visits from Logan. She was perfect for our quick trip away to move our son off to college.

About: I have always grown up with dogs, cats, and many other furry and scaly animals in my homes. Usually multiple at the same time! I do extensive research to make sure my pets get the best care they could have. I am also in college to be a veterinarian to further my knowledge. I am currently working for some delivery apps, so I will always be driving around on most days, during the day and when the sun starts to go down. It would be awesome to work the day, and stop by a few times to get my pet fix. Extra bonus if I would watch overnight when it starts to get dark! Saturday night and Sunday day is for family. I am currently doing some research on dog training/care, as I am getting my own dog in the summer! All my other pets are in great health. In your own home, I assure to be patient and use problem solving skills to meet the needs of your fur baby! I am also great at communication, so I will always keep you in the loop:)

About: I have over 4 years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for more than 35 pets. I work with many recurring families and am trusted by owners who book with me regularly. I regularly pet sit and house sit for extended periods, including stays lasting several days and one 17 day dog and house sitting stay. I have experience with pets ranging from young puppies to senior dogs around 15 years old and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, as well as cats. I am also a certified lifeguard, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize clear communication by providing regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my pet sitting commitments to ensure pets receive consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and companionship. I am comfortable with early mornings, evenings, and overnight stays, and I regularly manage multi-day and extended sitting requests. I communicate availability clearly and always make pet care a top priority while I am booked. I provide pet care exclusively in pet parents’ homes so pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and preferred activities. I am attentive to behavior changes and take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality. I take safety and trust seriously and am always mindful of home instructions, doors, leashes, and overall security. I keep the home clean and respected while caring for pets. As a certified lifeguard, I am trained to stay calm, observant, and responsible in all situations. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they are away.

Toni is amazing!! She has watched our cats many times for over a year now, and she has been so good with our cats going above and beyond. She always sends pictures and my normally grumpy cat seems to be so comfortable with her. I can’t recommend Toni enough!

Tiffany was fantastic, she has my highest recommendation! From being able to accommodate a last minute request to being sure our two big dogs were taken very well care of to sending plenty of picture updates, we were very pleased that we were able to work with Tiffany and will absolutely be doing so again the next time we need care!
