About: I have experience handling high energy pups, elderly dogs, shy cats, etc. I grew up with two dogs and five cats! I know how important routine is, and I strictly follow all feeding, potty, and leash walking instructions. I offer flexible pet care throughout the week, including early morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I am also available for at-home sitting and overnight care. This means I can stay at your home to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own environment through the night. Message me to coordinate exact times and dates! I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up in a lively household with five cats and family dogs, and I currently own two rescue cats. This background allows me to confidently manage multi-pet dynamics, different energy levels, and unique personalities. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, especially during at home sitting and overnight care. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it tidy and double checking that all doors and gates are securely locked. For dogs, they will always remain securely on leash during walks. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, routines, and bedtime habits so your pets feel zero stress. I will always send you detailed photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: I love to go on walks and be outside. I am very trustworthy and am rarely ever late. I am very caring and always want to make sure the dog is as happy as can be. I will listen to any instructions you have. I just want to provide a helping hand while getting the chance to hang out with some amazing dogs! I have a very open schedule and work as a bartender so mostly work afternoons. Because of this I have time during the day to care for your pet as well as many full days throughout the week I care for pets at my clients home so that they are comfortable with their surroundings and can be as calm and happy as can be

About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: Hi I’m Lillie!!! I’m a reliable, attentive, and caring animal lover with 12 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve worked with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, and foster animals, and I truly love getting to know every animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve helped train puppies, volunteered regularly at animal shelters walking dogs, and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and compassionate caring for your furry family members. I’m very responsible, responsive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel happy and cared for every step of the way. My goal is to become your furry best friend’s temporary best friend while you’re away! I also love providing photos, videos and update check-ins so you can feel relaxed knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m a very caring, attentive, patient, and reliable pet sitter who truly loves animals and treats every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for in their home environment. I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–5 PM with an hour-long break during the day, which allows me flexibility for check-ins, walks, feedings, potty breaks, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. Before and after work, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care, and I always prioritize keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I’m very responsive, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine closely so they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. Animals have always had a huge place in my heart, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I care deeply for my own pets and always make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for every single day. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same level of love, patience, attention, and compassion that I give my own. One of the most important things to me while pet sitting is keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, walk times, medications, playtime, bedtime routines, or simply giving them the comfort and companionship they’re used to, I always prioritize making pets feel secure and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to animal care, and your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and at ease.

Madison was so kind to respond to my urgent response quickly and help me with my dog in a difficult situation. She came over to meet Flip ahead of time to help ease him into being left with a new person and she was super patient with my nervous dog. I'm so grateful for her willingness to help on very short notice!

About: I have always had many animals growing up, from German shepherds to geckos, there is no animal that I don’t absolutely adore, I have three cats and many reptiles of my own:) I am no longer pregnant! But I do have a little one now, so I will take in small to medium dogs and cats or one large dog, two small dogs are okay! But if your dog is super chaotic and hyper i recommend a different sitter for your pup :)! I promise to make your pet a top priority in my home, nothing toxic or dangerous will be out to harm your pet in any way, my house is completely pet friendly! Plus I do have a little one so childproofing my house has helped with the puppies too 🤣❤️‍🔥

About: I grew up taking care of dogs on our family farm. I was responsible for feeding, watering, cleaning, and spending time with them each day. I also grew up with a cat in the home.

I can fulfill any need that you may have for caring for your animal in your home. I live in a dorm on campus, which is not animal friendly:)

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both young and senior pets, including those with medical needs. I’ve cared for my parents’ dog after a major surgery, which involved giving medications, monitoring recovery, and making sure he stayed calm and comfortable. I’ve also watched my aunt’s senior dog and her kittens, so I understand the different care routines, energy levels, and attention each age group needs. I’m very patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved in my care. I work full time from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends for pet care. I’m very organized and plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s evening visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, or just spending quality time with them, I always make sure they get the attention they need. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, calm, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I also make sure they have quiet spaces to rest and lots of attention and love throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to their normal routine to help reduce stress, keep everything tidy, and make sure the pets feel secure in their own space. I give regular updates so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my diverse, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Through several years of pet and house sitting on TrustedHousesitters, I've provided reliable, loving care for dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has unique needs and personality traits, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment while you're away. My goal is to give both pets and owners complete peace of mind. Because I work remotely, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, companionship, walks, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. I enjoy incorporating exercise, outdoor time, and enrichment activities into my day while ensuring each pet's individual needs and routines are maintained. My ability to travel also gives me the flexibility to accommodate house sitting and extended care opportunities. Having spent several years caring for dogs and cats through TrustedHousesitters, I am comfortable adapting to different homes, routines, and animal personalities. Whether it's daily walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
