About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and I know how personal it is to trust someone with your best friend(s) and your home. My goal is to make the experience feel calm, safe, and stress free for both you and them. I’m especially comfortable with overnight house sitting, multi-pet households, senior pets, oral medication, separated feeding or space routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience at first. I understand that every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, so I try to follow your instructions as closely as possible. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with daily clear check-ins and photos so you never have to wonder how your furry family members are doing. I’ll also be honest if anything seems unusual, because I’d rather communicate early than leave you feeling unsure. I’ll also treat your home with respect! I keep things clean, follow the boundaries you set, and do my best to leave your space just as nice (or nicer!) than I found it. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to planning around animals’ needs and keeping care consistent. For overnight house sitting, my weekday availability is typically Monday through Friday from 5:30 PM to 7:00 AM. That includes evening care, dinner, potty breaks or walks, medication, bedtime routines, overnight care, and morning care before I leave. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, I generally have more flexibility and can provide care throughout the day. For drop-in visits, my weekday availability is usually evenings, with more flexibility on weekends and holidays. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule before confirming a booking so we can make sure your pet’s routine and care needs are a good fit! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow the routine, rules, and boundaries you set. I want your dog/cat to feel safe in their normal environment, so I do my best to keep things consistent with their usual schedule, comfort needs, and household expectations. I’m very respectful of your home. I follow home access instructions carefully, keep pet areas tidy, and treat your space with the same care I would want someone to show mine. I’m also happy to discuss reasonable home care tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping pet areas clean. Before confirming a new booking, I prefer a meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine, personality, home access, emergency contacts, and anything else that would help you feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have been a dog owner for over 30 years and have taken care of friends/family pets. Taking dogs out for walks is my favorite as well as playing with them. I talk to dogs as if they are human! You can trust that I will take good care of your dog. I am retired and live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I am at home most of the time. On a daily basis, I am out of the house once or twice a day doing errands or making social visits. I live in a TH and have a fenced yard that wired. I had it installed for my dog who passed on with a wire so he can see what is happening. Sitting at the patio was his favorite thing to do. My home is very cozy and clean.

“Jina was an amazing sitter to my cat and dog. She sends thorough report cards and lots of pics. She helped with a couple small tasks of home care since it was an extended trip and was just a trustworthy and wonderful person to work with. Highly recommend and we will definitely use her again!!”

Sinta J.

“Amanda was amazing! We needed last minute drop in visits, and Amanda was very responsive to our request. She gave detailed recaps every visit + photos of what they did throughout the time. Our dog is a little timid when it comes to new people but she adjusted to Amanda IMMEDIATELY! 10/10 definitely booking again”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve fostered, adopted, and cared for many dogs. Puppies and kittens are my specialty, but senior animals deserve just as much love. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I care for dogs and cats by following their routines, providing meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, affection, and plenty of patience and attention. My goal is simple: a happy pet is a cared-for pet

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large, high-energy dogs. I have cared for German Shepherds as well as smaller dogs, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine. I am also a lifelong dog owner, currently caring for a Dachshund and a Labrador Retriever. Having dogs with different energy levels has given me experience with everything from daily walks and playtime to patience, training reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I also have experience with senior dog care and understand the extra patience and attention older dogs may need, including maintaining routines, providing a comfortable space, and being attentive to changes in behavior or mobility. I treat every pet like they are my own and will make sure your furry family member receives the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I am currently a college student, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. During the summer, I work at a camp, but I am available for scheduled walks, drop-in visits, and pet care around my work hours. I am responsible, organized, and will always communicate clearly to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained. I am happy to work with each owner’s schedule to provide reliable care, attention, and plenty of love for their pets. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I will provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving space where pets can receive individualized attention, playtime, and care. I have two dogs of my own, a Dachshund and a Labrador Retriever, who are both friendly and have never had issues with other dogs. I understand the importance of proper introductions and making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet has different personalities and needs, and I will make sure they feel welcomed and cared for as if they were my own.

About: I have two dogs, although one lives with my ex currently. I have had them both since 2008 and having them has been nothing short of a blessing. Besides having my own, I have also frequently dogsitted for a friend, staying at his place and taking care of his two dogs. Besides those experiences, I just have a genuine love for all animals and want to make sure that they feel that. I try to give them as much as attention as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life! My family had a toy poodle for 16 years and we now have a short-haired kitty. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience with other pets and enjoy making sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, or simply providing companionship, I’m happy to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I love caring for animals and I can’t wait to meet more furry friends! I work remotely as a consultant at a technology firm, meaning drop-in visits during the week are doable. In-house stays during the week/weekends are also very much doable! Since I work remotely, I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to walking, feeding, and caring for any pet that has specific needs. I have experience watching puppies, adult dogs, kittens, and cats. I will ensure your pet is comfortable around me so I can provide excellent care! Your fur baby will be in great hands, whether I’m taking them for walks throughout the week or caring for them overnight at your residence.

About: What sets me apart is my real-life, daily experience caring for two dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and confident handling everything from playful energy to anxious behavior. I’m also familiar with basic training, have experience with feeding routines, giving medications, and caring for senior dogs. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I already care for my own two dogs every day. Between walks, playtime, and feeding, I’ve built my schedule around making sure they’re happy and well cared for. Even with my part-time job, I make sure to stay organized and flexible so I can give each pet the time, attention, and love they need. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or playtime. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully, making sure their pet feels secure and cared for while they’re away. I always focus on building trust with both the pet and the owner.

About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.

About: I had a dog, her name was Kenya from 8-15 and she unfortunately passed from health conditions. She was a family dog I’ve known and looked after since I can remembered, my cousin gave her to me and my mother when they moved. As she got older, me and my mother had to give her medication for a couple months before, paying close attention to her habits during her later months :/ . I currently have a small, short-haired grey Cat named Sonny. I visit my cousin frequently throughout the month and I always offer to walk her dog because I enjoy walks! I’m currently working as a full time ortho assistant Mon-Thursday, Usually leaving the office around 4:30 pm. Fri-Sun I’m completely free. For overnight stays during my work days, I am willing to travel from your home to my job, leaving in the early mornings After consulting with future clients, I’ll keep track of any dietary needs, special care instructions and any indicator habits I should know about prior to servicing your fur baby!❤️
