“This was our first experience with Edward and I will be booking more visits with my cat by him. He was very reliable and responsive. My cat ate a treat from his hand! That's amazing in itself.”

About: I’ve grown up around pets and have been helping care for them for the past 2 years with feeding, walking, and keeping them company when my family’s away. I currently have 2 dogs and have been around dogs since I was born. I’m home for the summer, so I can give your pet my full attention. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer visit, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m currently not working and is home for the summer, so I have open availability throughout the week to care for your pets. I can be flexible with times and adjust to your pet’s needs, whether that be mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine consistent and safe. During visits, I ensure all doors and gates are securely closed and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. On walks, pets stay on leash at all times, and I stay alert to any hazards or changes in their behavior. I treat your home and belongings with respect and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort.

About: Hi friends! I specialize in pets with with special needs or other notable requirements, but I love sitting all types!

The extraordinary quality of my care is distinguished by my commitment to developing a real relationship with and love for your pet(s). Making your furry friends feel comfortable is my #1 priority, because I know that's what keeps YOU at peace too! I have *direct experience* independently caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and levels of need, including (but not limited to): - Seniors who need a little extra help getting around - Pets who suffer from seizures - Diabetic pets who need insulin injections and attentive glucose monitoring - Puppies who aren’t quite potty trained yet - Pets who experience separation anxiety when away from their owners - Clever pets who find creative ways to avoid taking their oral meds These situations do not deter me and won’t get in the way of effectively caring for your baby! My sweet Shih Tzu, Muppy, passed away in 2024 after a long and happy life, so I am turning here to give my love for animals a new place to go. I have lots of it to give <3 I work 100% remotely without a strict schedule, so I have plenty of time to spoil your pet(s) with attention! I'm flexible and happy to accommodate your every need.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and have helped care for pets of all kinds, from neighborhood pups to family cats.

So this isn’t just something I enjoy-it’s something I’m truly passionate about.

I’ve also taken pet training classes, so I know how to read behavior and respond calmly if a pup gets nervous or overly excited. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure and happy - and to leave you feeling totally at ease, too.

About: I have been taking care of pets since childhood. I treat every dog like a member of my family and yours will be no different. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and health/medical conditions and will both follow your instructions flawlessly while also making sure your furry family feels right at home with us! I work remotely for Stanford University as a Real Estate Asset Manager, so I am home all the time unless I pop out to run an errand or exercise.

About: Dogs are very special to me and I adore them. Throughout my daughter’s lives, we have cared for about ten dogs. I also have experience taking care of my client’s dogs as well as their neighbors. I am very trustworthy and make a promise to take care of your dogs or any pets to the best of my ability. I am self-employed at the moment and would be willing to work during the week and weekends as well if needed. I can work in the mornings on the weekends, 8am. On weekdays, I am available anytime. I care for pets in a client’s home by checking in with the family and making sure their pet is not able to escape their property. I also make sure by checking if the dogs have plenty of water and if they need to be fed.

About: I've been caring for pets my whole life and currently help take care of my family's three dogs: two French Bulldogs (a 5-year-old male and a 1-year-old female) and a 16-year-old male Coton de Tulear. From high-energy puppy zoomies to the special needs of senior dogs, I’ve experienced it all! I'm 20 years old and love being around animals—whether it's playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. Your pet will be in loving, attentive hands with me. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I can often make time for pet care during weekdays and weekends. Since my job hours vary week to week, I always do my best to communicate early and stay flexible. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out—I'm happy to coordinate and make it work! When caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I stick closely to your routines and respect your home like it’s my own—clean, secure, and calm. I pay attention to your pet’s cues, needs, and any special instructions, whether it's feeding, walks, medications, or just cuddle time. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel at ease while you're away.

About: I treat each animal like family—offering patience, play, snuggles, and structure. I don’t just show up; I tune in to each pet’s personality and needs, whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy cat. I go the extra mile to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Plus, I keep communication open and honest with pet parents, so they feel just as confident and cared for as their pets do. As a student, I balance my schedule around what matters most—caring for pets. Their routines keep me grounded and bring a peaceful break to my studies. Whether it’s walks between classes or evening cuddle time, pet care fits naturally into my daily life and brings me real joy. It’s more than a side job—it’s a passion I make time for. I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment for every pet, whether in my home or theirs. At my place, I make sure all areas are pet-proofed—removing hazards like toxic plants, small objects, or unsecured cords. I keep food and medicines out of reach and provide clean water and cozy spaces for rest. When caring in clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely and respect their routines to keep pets calm and secure. I always supervise pets during play and make sure doors and gates are securely closed to prevent escapes. Safety and comfort come first, so pets feel happy and protected wherever they are.

About: Hi friends! I would be so happy to help you out in whatever you would need it. If it’s my place or yours, I would love to take your fur babies off your hands even if it’s just for couple of hours, a night, or even a weekend. I can meet you and your pets needs in whatever way you’d like whether it’s feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks or even crated. I do live in an apartment with plenty of grass outside and big fields for walking. Whatever it is you need done, name it and I can do it. Hopefully your fur babies are suitable with my own. I do have one pup, Bailey, and she loves sharing with other pups and socializing but even if that’s not okay with your animal, I do have the means to separate my dog from yours! My job is to make your dog feel comfortable as well as you while you’re away, so please don’t forget to request as many photos as you’d like! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies😊 I am very flexible with my schedule because I do school fully online so I am free to do whatever is needed for you and your fur babies! I don’t have a fenced yard but there is plenty of grass for walks and if dog parks are okay with you,I can definitely take them out so they can run around as well!
