Rachel was a great pet sitter for our kitty, Bandit!! Rachel was very responsive and communicative which made her meeting Bandit, going over Bandit's care, and getting keys, etc., all easy and seamless! It is clear she loves and understands pets very well. We were away for over 2 weeks and Rachel came for daily visits during that time - she sent photos and updates each day and it was clear that Bandit was very happy and well cared for. Upon our return everything was is good order and Bandit greeted us with a kitty "smile"! We highly recommend Rachel, and hope to have her care for Bandit when we next need kitty care!

Matthew was very responsive and thorough. He watched my three cats for a couple days and did a great job refreshing their area and keeping an eye on them. He even watered my Christmas tree while we were away! I would definitely recommend him and use his services again :).

About: What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach to pet care. I’m the proud human of a poodle with a mohawk and two cats, so I’m fluent in both high-energy zoomies and quiet companionship. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s patient walks, extra reassurance for seniors, or playful engagement for younger pups. I’m especially great with senior pets, shy animals, and pets who need a steady, gentle presence. I don’t rush visits, I don’t overwhelm, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own pack—because that’s how I’d want mine cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around walks and drop-in visits, allowing plenty of time for each pet so they’re never rushed. Caring for my own dog and cats every day keeps me consistent, attentive, and flexible, and I plan client visits thoughtfully to ensure reliable, calm, and focused care. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and affection, along with any enrichment they enjoy. I pay close attention to safety, cleanliness, and each pet’s comfort, and I always take time to observe their behavior and needs so they feel secure, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Summer was amazing! Our cats loved her gentle and caring personality, and we loved her reliability and communication. It was such a relief to have someone we trusted taking care of our kitties while we were out of town and we absolutely would book visits with Summer again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boys!

About: Every day is a day full of fur in my world. My pets, and the pets I care for as an experienced veterinary technician. I love every animal like they are my own and always go the extra mile for their happiness. I am honored to be entrusted with their care if you will have me. I am currently taking a break from my career as a veterinary technician to pursue a master's degree. I am very flexible for this reason. As an experienced pet owner and veterinary technician I can medicate, give injections, crate, soothe, feed and play with your pets with ease and confidence. I have worked with scared rescues who no one else would sit for. I am good with animals from all backgrounds and situations. You tell me what your usual routine and preferences are and I will make sure it happens.

About: Hello! My name is Deidra. My entire life I've been raised around many types of animals including many personalities breeds and sizes of dogs. I recently had a border collie who passed due to old age and currently have a husky mix. I LOVE spending my time with animals (much more than with humans TBH) and am able to recognize when a dog is too stressed, tired, or wound up for a situation and can recognize and prefent situations before they occur. I'd love to take your dog to the beach or hiking with me if you'll be gone for a weekend but I'd love the chance to stop in and just take him or her for a walk as well. Let me know if your dog loves other dogs and I'll bring mine along for the walk! I am currently searching for a full time job so I am available all times at this time until I find additional work. Once I do, I will likely only be available evenings. I crate my dogs when I am away and am familiar with different types of harnesses and leashes. I do not allow random people or dogs to come up to dogs I am walking.

About: I have been a pet owner for my entire life. I recently lost my Lulu, at 15 years old, and I want to be able to care for other folks pets so they feel comfortable while on vacation. I live in the Grovemont neighborhood and several of my neighbors leave their puppers with me when they are away. We can walk 2-3 times a day and/or just chill on the couch :) I work from home, so I am around all day and can pay as much attention as needed to your pupper. plenty of walks and treat time! My own pets are allowed on the furniture and to sleep on the bed. I love to cuddle on the couch while watching TV, so your pup will get plenty of good scratches and love. We live in a great neighborhood with tons of places to go for walks and a park to throw frisbee or ball. I have a tennis ball flickit :)

About: I have experience caring for all types of animals whether it’s dogs, cats or even rabbits. I have been pet sitting for close to 4 years and have been regularly dog walking for 2 years. My schedule changes on a weekly basis but I am very flexible. Most weekdays I am available, weekends I am more busy but we will work out a schedule that works for both of us! I want to keep your pet(s) happy and safe. In regards to petsitting I try and follow the routine that your pet is used to, and I love adding in fun activities and enrichment so they can thrive even when you are on vacation. I will also keep you posted with pictures and updates. For walks I change my approach for each pup, some dogs love to sniff, some like to run, and others love to learn new tricks. So whatever your doggy likes I try to provide a sensory rich activity as well as an opportunity for them to get some sunshine.

One of our dog seriously hurt her leg two days before we were leaving for a week long vacation. Lena stepped in without hesitation to help with meds and provide extra care per our vet's instructions. She made a stressful situation much easier to handle—both for us and our hurt dog! She also took awesome pics!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with two dogs of my own - an Aussie and a Miniature Pinscher - plus a small hobby farm where I raise Pygmy goats. I also have a huge soft spot for cats and love getting to know their unique personalities. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I’m comfortable with all types of personalities and have plenty of experience giving medications, keeping routines consistent, and helping pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles, or quiet companionship, I’m here to provide dependable care. I currently work full-time from home for a software company and am very accustomed to providing full time care for animals during the day and night time. I have a large yard and farm where we can go out in nature walks, or just have playtime around the house. Your pets care and happiness is my first priority.

About: I bring a broad background in animal care, with years of experience volunteering at dog and cat rescues in Guatemala. During that time, I fostered dogs, trained puppies, and assisted at spay and neuter clinics. I am active and enjoy running with dogs, which makes me a great match for high-energy pets. In addition to my dog experience, I have worked with horses and lived with cats, giving me a strong understanding of animals with different needs and personalities. My goal is always to provide compassionate, attentive, and reliable care so pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care 24/7. Most of my time is spent managing and maintaining my property, which gives me a steady routine and plenty of availability for pets. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so I’m happy to take dogs for walks, spend quality time with cats, and ensure all pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I live on a quiet dead-end road in the woods, right by a river, providing a peaceful and secure environment for pets. I have a friendly cat to keep other animals company when appropriate. I also care for pets in their own homes, spending time training, walking, and engaging them safely outdoors. I am attentive and vigilant, ensuring pets are happy, supervised, and well-cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and started helping care for them as a kid, everything from feeding and walks to training and cuddles. Since I turned 20, I’ve been professionally dog sitting and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to connect with them, understand their needs, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently available most days of the week and am flexible with scheduling, so I can easily adapt to you and your pup’s routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing company and comfort, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with dogs and treat them like part of the family. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and started professionally pet sitting in my early 20s, so I know how important it is for your pup to feel comfortable and safe in their own home. Whether I’m caring for a high-energy puppy or a slow-moving senior, I bring patience, love, and plenty of attention to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I always do my best to stick to your dog’s routine and keep things clean and respectful in your home—like a familiar, trusted friend stepping in when you need an extra hand.

About: I have had animals of all kinds in my life since I was under the age of 5. I have always had pets in my life whether it was a dog, a cat, a bird, a snake, or even some fish! I love animals and would love to get to know and help with some more furry friends in the area if needed. My family, friends, co-workers, and even people that know me through others have always reached out to me to help out with walking, feeding, spending time, finding a new home for/fostering or bathing their extended family members whenever they are unable to or need the extra hand. I hope to eventually open up my own animal day care in the future. I look forward to working with you :) I currently work Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 7:45 to 3:45, but I am always able to accommodate. I do have a pup and daughter as well that I may sometimes bring with me on walks or for stopping by, but only if that is okay with you! This allows an extra buddy (as my pup is currently in training and my daughter is 10) to help make the experience more enriched! I am able to easily crate pets if needed, double check doors before leaving to ensure safety of pets, check environment for accidental potty breaks when unattended (if common or rare), any other concerns from pet owners about treats, toys, and etc. I am here to accommodate peace of mind for pet owners so do not hesitate to let me know of any other concerns!

Whitt was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Scooter! It’s clear he truly cares about animals because Scooter was happy, calm, and exactly the same as we left him—if not better. It even seems like Scooter has made a new friend in Whitt, which speaks volumes about his kindness and connection with pets. We’re so grateful for the excellent care and peace of mind he provided while we were away. Highly recommend!
