Quetzaly took great of my cat! He needs some medicine and special care and she did great handling it while I was away. Daily photos of them playing made me feel much better while traveling. I would absolutely have her watch my cat again!

Kristina truly went above and beyond when watching my dog while I was away. She recorded videos of every check in and walk, she sent updates on how he was doing and any possible concerns at the house, and she went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable during this crazy heat wave. I really appreciate her diligence and will definitely book again!

Kimberly took such good care of my 3 cats while I was out of town for a couple weeks. She played with them and gave them lots of love! She was communicative and took a lot of great pictures during her checkins. I will definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!

About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from baby bunnies to horses, so I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. While in college, I helped care for a stranger’s baby bunny for multiple nights on many occasions, making sure it stayed healthy, comfortable, and properly cared for. I also have experience around horses, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to stay calm and attentive with animals. Because of that background, caring for dogs and cats feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and giving pets lots of attention so they feel safe while you’re away. I’ve also been dog-sitting for relatives since I was a child, so being around pets and helping care for them has always been a normal part of my life. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure they’re not just watched, but actually cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student because I currently have a flexible schedule and a good amount of free time outside of classes and studying. I’m able to consistently make time for feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning, and giving attention to pets throughout the day. Having open availability also allows me to adapt to unexpected needs and stay dependable with daily care responsibilities. When I pet sit, I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by keeping doors and gates closed, removing anything unsafe, and maintaining a calm environment for the pet.

Casey was so detailed when caring for our dogs. She really went above and beyond. You can definitely tell she is a dog person. I’m really glad we found someone trustworthy and reliable to care for our 3 dogs and we’ll be using her when we go away again.

About: I have two cats of my own and have helped care for both family dogs and friends’ cats over the years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, and giving lots of love and attention! Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have plenty of photos of the pets I’ve cared for to show the happy moments we’ve shared. I’m a college student currently studying biochemistry with a strong love for both cats and dogs. Pet care brings me joy, and with summer here, I’m only in school part-time. This gives me the flexibility to care for your pets Thursday through Sunday. I’m dedicated, dependable, and excited to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and respect your space. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication, and preferred activities. While I don’t have dogs of my own, I have two friendly cats and a clean, pet-safe space. Whether in your home or mine, your pet will be treated like family.

About: I do not have professional experience with pets but I have my own dog so I personally know the love and care that they need. I was in charge of training her and making sure she was potty trained as well as socialized I can work mostly any time from Monday -Thursday and during the day on Friday and Saturday ! I do have a job on the weekend but it is in the evening In my home I have a front and back yard with grass so the babies can run around as well there is a park a 3 minute drive away from the home to make sure they are able to play and run out their energy. Since I have my dog with me they would have a companion to be with. With my clients home I would make sure to run everything by them and their boundaries

About: Hi, I am looking to expand my experience pet sitting. I myself have 4 cats and 3 dogs. But don’t worry I share custody of them. I have pet sat for a 2 families previously and could not be more of a pet lover if I tried. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available the weekends and during the week days I am available before 12 and after 6. I have a fenced back yard, and I have two friendly cats. I make it a point to play with them and depending on the pet take them for walks. But often times I would just cuddle with them.
