“Appreciate Savannah's great communication skills before and during my trip away from my two precious kitties. The notes and list of tasks completed and especially the great pics enabled me to focus on my trip, confident they were well taken care of.”
“Emilee was great caring for my 12 yo tabby cat, Mochi, including giving antibiotics - she not the easiest patient. Mochi was happy to see us when we returned from a one week vacation, and quite relaxed. Thanks again Emilee, I’d love to have you watch Mochi again soon!”
About: My family and I always owned/cared for pets while I was growing up. I personally raised my 10 year old half whippet/half pitbull from a puppy. I’ve always been happy to help out friends, family members, neighbors and roommates with pet care. I have professional experience at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I’ve always had a passion for animals and stand firmly on animal rights. I want to provide a safe/trustworthy place for your pet. SKILLS: familiar dogs who have separation anxiety, oral medication, picky eaters, potty training, knowledge of dog behaviors & familiar with different breeds of dogs I enjoy caring for furry friends during my time off from my weekend restaurant job. I have a very flexible schedule. The only time I'm busy is Saturday and Sunday from 11am-4pm. Currently I have an indoor cat named Henry. As of now I am offering dog walking, home check ins and pet sitting/over night in the pet owners home. I consider myself very respectful and trust worthy as I have lots of experience with nannying in guests homes.
“Benicio did a fantastic job of taking care of both my dogs. He followed all the care instructions I left for him and gave my dogs lots of cuddles and ensured my home was tidied up after each visit. He gave constant updates and sent some of the cutest pics of my pups. Phenomenal sitter”
About: With 12 years of dog care experience and 2 years with cats, I’ve worked with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m happy to tailor every walk or visit to your pet’s needs, whether that’s a vigorous run, a beach adventure, or just lots of love and chill time. Your pet’s comfort and happiness come first! I work a few different jobs throughout the week, but I always make time for animals—I truly miss having more pet love in my life! My schedule is flexible, and I’m fully available on Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays. During the rest of the week, I can easily fit in walks and drop-ins around my shifts. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely look forward to, and I make sure each visit is never rushed and always full of care. When caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to your routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos.

About: I've cared for pets countless times over the years 🐶, from family to strangers to close friends! I have experience with both calm and reactive dogs, and I’m familiar with common triggers and how to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe on every walk 🦴🐾. I'm a full-time college student 🎓, but my classes are fully remote with no required live lectures, giving me a super flexible schedule! If overnight care is needed, I can easily bring my laptop and get my work done while staying with your pup 🐕💻. There are always foster dogs coming and going in my home 🏠🐾, so I’m used to adapting quickly and staying super attentive to each pup’s unique needs. I’m mindful of my habits and surroundings to make sure accidents don’t happen, even when things could be unpredictable!
About: Hey guys! My name is Anna and I've been raised around animals my whole life. From a young age I was raised around dogs, cats, and horses. The love I experienced for all these animals only grew in size as I became an adult. In highschool I had an Akita mix that I would often care for while my parents traveled and the best cat that has traveled the United States with me. The love I have for my own fur babies I promise to show to your four legged friends too! I work in digital marketing and am in the process of getting my real estate license. In my spare time I love to be active which is why dog walking became a wonderful side hustle to invest my time in. I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, giving them the same love and attention I would expect for my own cats and dogs.
About: I’ve had pets most of my life and have always loved caring for animals. Growing up with dogs taught me how to be responsible, attentive, and patient. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, feeding, or getting them out for exercise, I make sure each pet feels safe and loved during our time together. I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings after work and throughout the weekends. Whether your pup needs a walk or a drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they feel loved and looked after during our time together. Since I’ll be caring for your pet in your home or during walks, I take every precaution to ensure their safety and comfort. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet on-leash during walks, and make sure they’re comfortable and secure before I leave. You can count on me to treat your home and your pet with respect and care.

I am available any morning for drop in pet care for dogs or any creature features your home may have! I'm hoping to have regular morning visits with repeating clients, but am open to fill in random dates too. I work in the evenings so all care must be done in the mornings. I will care for your pet in your home, I aim to keep your animal as comfy as they would be if you were home. I hope to change as little of their normal schedule as possible. That way the stress of their human being gone is to a minimum. I'm unable to sit in my home as I rent.

Jocelyn Q.
“Jocelyn is the kind of person every pet parent dreams of finding. While I was overseas, she took amazing care of my cat, sending updates, keeping her happy, and treating her like her own. Jocelyn is incredibly responsible, attentive, and full of genuine love for animals. I had complete peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in her care. I can’t recommend her enough!”
Mindi S.
“I have used Mindi for a long time now. I like her because she really likes animals, especially dogs. She fusses and worries over them like a mama. That's what I was looking for when it comes to someone else caring for my baby. Someone that understands what my dog is used to, and following the directions I leave, so I come back to my baby, happy!”
