Pet Sitting North City

“We had such a great experience with Karen caring for our dog, Lula! She was absolutely wonderful and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She made frequent drop-in visits to feed and water Lula, take her on walks, and give her plenty of attention and love. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Lula’s well-being. We loved receiving updates from each visit, and it was so reassuring knowing Lula was in such good hands while we were gone. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and loving to care for their pets. We will definitely be booking her again! 🐾❤️”

“Marisa was amazing with my dogs and came in last minute and saved the day! She was a great communicator and asked questions to offer the best care for my pups while I was away. It was nice knowing my dogs were in such great hands!”

About: While I have been taking care of animals and dogs just about my whole life, I have been officially doing so as of 6 years ago. I began by meeting people in "the wild" and offering meet and greets free of charge for their pet into my home so they could ensure they felt the most safe and able to actually relax knowing their pet was in a good place while they were gone. From building these connections, I have had the privilege of watching their pets for multiple years and made great connections. I have experience watching puppies, adjusting to schedules, and live a very active life style that makes caring for your dog quite natural for me! I have a larger vehicle for transportation and I am familiar with using the E-Collar if your pet uses that as well. I just graduated with my Master's degree and am currently in a break period before I start my full time job. This means currently that I am very flexible and am able to be home more often with your pet! I have more free time now and would love to return to pet sitting and get some new clients. I have a small yard that is mainly for potty reasons, and no other pets. In others homes, I am adaptable and can adjust to what you need. I also do "meet and greets" for your pet if you are interested, free of charge, for them to sniff around the home and for your to see where they would be staying. I also have portable AC units in our home to keep the rooms cool for your dog, especially with this heat.

About: I've been volunteering at the Adoptions Department at Helen Woodard Animal Center for the past 3 years. I've been trained to care for dogs with different personalities or special needs. This includes energetic, strong, shy/timid, resource-guarding, and mouthy/nippy dogs. My wife and I have two cats, each with their own special needs. One requires medication via syringe in the mouth, eye drops, and even spoon-feeding nightly. The other one just likes to eat.... I'll make sure your cat(s) are taken care of and loved, even if it means I get in trouble with my own cats. Working remotely, so I have time to stop by and check in to make sure they're okay. I have my own car and pretty flexible with afternoons as well. I can come and check in on your babies and make sure they're taken care of. I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats, including animals who may be shy, fearful, anxious, or reactive. I understand that every fur baby has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m patient with those who need a little extra time and space to feel safe. I also have experience working with animals who can be aggressive, and I know how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries while always prioritizing safety. When you’re away, my goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for, like nothing has changed. I’ll follow their normal routines, give them plenty of love and attention, and take the time to build trust at their pace. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. My home is my safe space, and I know yours is too. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own—keeping it clean, secure, and just as you left it. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll keep a close eye on your fur babies, communicate with you, and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in caring hands.

“Jiawen!! You were such a dream to work with. She payed such close attention to our kitties who will miss her dearly. I loved all her notes and will definitely rebook in the future”

About: I grew up around dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. My partner and I share a comfortable home with a fenced backyard and our own friendly, dog-social husky, who makes a wonderful companion for visiting dogs. Having a husky, I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and know how to keep active dogs exercised, engaged, and happy. Because there are two of is and we’re flexible during the day, your down is rarely left alone. There’s almost always someone home for feeding, play, and cuddles. I come from a hospitality and food-service background, so attentive care, cleanliness, and clear communication are things I take seriously. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having fun. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and I’d love to do the same for yours! My partner and I both have flexible daytime schedules, so there’s almost always someone to feed, walk, and play with your dog. We can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play, or evening cuddles. We plan our own schedules around our boarding guests, so your dog gets consistent attention and is rarely left alone during their stay. Our home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play and burn energy safely, and our friendly husky makes a great companion for social guests. We keep the space clean and dog-proofed, with fresh water always available and secure fencing so no one slips out. We’re comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and we’re happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and we send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and content.

“I have a real sense of security and comfort when Ellyn cares for my girl Gretel, my GSD. Ellyn is a true professional with the perfect blend of structure and sweetness that Gretel needs. This particular assignment was to give Gretel her dinner and hang out for a bit so her alone time before I got home late that night wouldn’t be too long. Gretel was excited but not frantic when I got home which tells me her time with Ellyn was enriching and comfortable for her. Thank you Ellyn!”

“Patricia dropped in on our dog twice a day while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond, taking him to the park to play fetch and spending extra time with him. Thanks Patricia!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 30+ years as a professional dog trainer, combined with my calm, compassionate approach to animal care. I specialize in reading canine body language, helping pets feel safe and secure. I also have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs with special needs, ensuring they receive the right balance of exercise, patience, and gentle attention. My availability is very adaptable, offering flexibility throughout both weekdays and weekends. With at least one week’s advance notice, I can easily accommodate your scheduling needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with the same love and attention I gave my own. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm environment, ensuring their comfort and safety at all times. With my background in dog training, I’m skilled at reading canine body language, which helps me provide reassurance and reduce stress while their family is away.

“Daisy is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! My senior dog is pretty high maintenance, she takes medications, has a complicated feeding routine, and has separation anxiety/hard time opening up to strangers but she immediately warmed up to Daisy. I appreciated all the pictures and prompt updates she sent me while I was away, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”

“Shaneli was AMAZING! We reached out with a last minute request due to our other sitter cancelling, and she was super responsive. Our Bunny is a little nervous, but she immediately took to Shaneli. I couldn’t believe it!! Highly recommend, can’t wait to have her again.”

About: I have lived with so many different animals, I am highly observant. I can quickly pick up on subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, ensuring they feel safe and understood while you are away. I am College student who has entered his summer break. I want to use this time to enjoy my time with pets and earn cash. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique routine. Whether at your home or mine, I ensure a safe, nurturing environment with plenty of play, companionship, and reliable consistency.

“Great communication, on time, my pup loves Michelle, she has great energy, would hire again. Thank you 🙏”

About: Hello! My name is Cecelia and I am so excited to get to know you and your pet! Growing up, I have always had a dog in my house and all of my extended family members have pets as well. I love going to parks and finding exciting and fun places. I love taking walks and am able to handle any sized pet. I have my own transportation so errands are not a problem. When not at work, my schedule is very flexible and I am a very easy going person. I work in biotech M-F and have weekends off. I will always send pics of your fur baby and as many updates as you’d like! I have a mini goldendoodle (30lbs) named Ollie who is such a love bug and gets along with any sized dog. Cant wait to meet your fur baby :) M-F I work in office for about 9 hours a day and am home no later than 4pm most days. When home, I love to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood or take him to a park. On the weekends, I bring my dog to get coffee with me and we take a walk on the beach. I love being as active as I can with my dog and would love for your pet to join us! I provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment with plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision. I live in a dog-friendly condo community directly across from a park, so dogs enjoy regular walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time throughout the day. We also take neighborhood walks on the many nearby sidewalks, and sometimes stroll through One Paseo for new sights and smells (with owner approval). On weekends, I’m typically home, so pets receive lots of companionship and aren’t left alone for long periods. When I do run errands, I often bring dogs along if we’re visiting pet-friendly places. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their routine as close to home as possible.

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for animals from horses to birds, cats and dogs, you can feel at ease knowing that your fur baby is in good hands. I have cared for senior animals and puppies. I was the main caregiver for 6 dogs and 2 horses while growing up in Colorado. Each new animal friend I meet will be treated like family. Feel free to ask me any additional questions.

“Oh wow! On top of already being a wonderful sitter with drop-in visits, there was an emergency (saw on my pet cam) at my place when our litter-robot malfunctioned :( Texted Caitlin last minute and she immediately came over that same day to try to fix it. When fixing didn’t work, she also went out of her way to go to the store and bought a litter box when the litter-robot stayed broken. She’s seriously AMAZING! Thank you so much for your time and effort, Caitlin! Truly recommend her as a sitter!!”

About: I'd love to take care of your pets and home while you're away. Your dog will enjoy plenty of loving attention, walks, and fresh food. I love cats too and take care of things while you’re away. I'm also happy to take in mail, water plants, keep things tidy. Professionally I’ve managed an estate and currently work as a teacher. I'm very responsible and would love to pamper your pet. School teaching keeps me very busy M-F, and I’m gone long hours during those days, so please note that for requests on school days. Weekends are free to be at home for lots of animals care. Please be in touch with any questions. Enjoy peace of mind while you’re away on holiday. I love animals and look forward to getting to know yours too. During the school year I can car for pets overnight and weekends. Drop-ins on weekends and more time available during summer months. I care for just pets in the client's home. I appreciate talking over the phone and meeting you in person before coming to your home.
