About: I have been surrounded by animals for a very long time and I’ve had pets my whole life. I love animals of every kind, from cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, insects, fish and more! Weekdays and weekends I can make stops for mornings, afternoons and evenings at the current time being. Available full time until I get a part time, will update as needed. I have experience both with taking care of animals and loving on them. I can play with or walk animals and I have no issues cleaning up after them as well.

About: I have loved all animals since I was a little girl. My mom ran a daycare in our home from when I was 2 up until I was 12 years old. I have assisted my mom in cat rescuing in our old neighborhood. We have always fed the neighborhood cats. One of my cats is a rescue cat, Miss Tiana. My oldest cat, Oreo, is from the animal shelter. He will be 5 this year on my birthday. I wish I could take every animal that I see on the streets and take them in. Caring for animals has taught me the importance of having empathy, sympathy, and compassion. My fur babies have taught me patience and that love comes from all forms. I love that I have the ability to care for another being besides myself. I want this experience to increase my love of caring for other things and beings. I currently work full time from the hours of 2-10PM Monday-Friday. I am currently in school full-time as well but it is strictly online. I am free on the weekends and before my shift starts at 2PM during the weekdays. I don’t mind dropping in during the mornings for walks, cleaning litter boxes, feedings, & playing. From personal experience, I care for my pets with the utmost care. Their litter box is cleaned 2-3 times a day. I feed them on a regular schedule. If any instructions are left for your pets, I will be sure to follow them and contact the owner if I have any questions.

About: I’ve taken care of canines ever since I was 12. Whether it was for family etc inc fostering fur babies finding their Furever home!!

I have more than enough space to properly take care of your fur baby and their needs and can crate them for bed time if needed. If there’s any additional questions you may have feel free to reach out and I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge.

About: I’ve cared for many families, their homes and their pets on other platforms like TrustedHouseSitters. Before that, I cared for my family pups and kitties. Throughout life, I’ve cared for friend’s pets and roommate’s pets. What sets me apart is how intentional I am with maintaining cleanliness. Animals feel very safe and comfortable with me as I’m very calm and bring good energy. I feel a very sacred and spiritual connection with all animals. I can also be very high energy if you need someone to play and run with your pet! Overall, you’ll leave with peace of mind knowing your furry child feels safe and loved. I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule. As of now, the majority of my time is available and devoted to caring for your pets throughout weekdays and weekends. I devote a lot of time and attention to engaging with the animals and tidying the home. I’m very attuned to your pet’s needs and what they are trying to communicate.


About: I recently lost my doggy friend of 11 years. I have experience with elderly and sickly pups. I will handle your pup with the same care that I took care of mine. I work from home full time, so I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and walks if required. We have a large back yard that is fenced in for play as well. I have a fenced back yard. We just have a 12 year old that visits for the summer once a year. I am able to travel and care for your pets in your home as well if that is more comfortable.

About: Hey there! I’m Larissa and I have 15+ years experience caring for a wide range of animals from dogs to reptiles to goats having worked in kennels & animal hospitals. I currently have my own at-home pet sitting business called PetStays, check us out on Instagram :) I have been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I will treat your dog like my own while they vacation with me, they will be loved and they will be safe! We have a huge fenced in yard & a 2 year old spade Doberman who cannot wait to meet your pup and play all day long! One thing that is very important to me is updating you, I will send pics & videos so you can see all the fun your dog is having. With all that play time, the pups do get nap time or “quiet time” a few times throughout the day, please let me know if your babe is not crate trained. Pet care is a 24 hour job, rest assured your fur baby will have exactly that while with us! Between my partner and I, there will always be someone with your pup. Safety is so so so important to me. I pay very close attention to detail, always sweeping so that I can ensure nothing is on the floor your babe, or even mine can pick up. While outside in the yard, we pay very close attention to the pups and never leave them unattended, all pups will eat & sleep in crates in our dog room to prevent any food aggression and to give them their own safe space.

About: I love animals in general. I had a fish, a rabbit, and a guinea pig, but my dog and my cat are the ones that I am closest to. I love to play with them, dogs and cats are so funny when they are in play mode! I'm currently available early mornings and evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Only early mornings on Tuesdays. My weekends are pretty much open on both days, I can adjust as needed. I always make sure that they have enough water first, and food depending on the instructions. Quick health check by observing them and making sure everything is good, and that they are feeling and looking their normal selves :-)

About: I’ve had a passion for animal care since childhood and decided to pursue a degree in Marine Biology. My most recent job was in animal nutrition, but I find the most joy in spending time with my fur babies at home! I have experience training my dogs and love taking them on walks and making them enrichment treats. I recently left my full time position making me free to watch and care for your fur baby anytime. I am flexible with my schedule and will work with you to find the best routine possible! At home my dogs always have access to fresh water, toys and bones/chews (under supervision). I feed my boys twice a day and take them outside a minimum of 3-4 times a day. I strongly prioritize pet safety and will treat your fur babies no different than my own! I know every pet is unique, and finding someone you trust to care for them can be difficult. I hope to spend time getting to know your pup whether it be exploring on walks or in the comfort of your home! I will always respect your pets routine and follow your training rules and boundaries promptly!

About: Hi! Meet me! Brittany. For as long as I can remember I have always been a lover of animals. I currently have 4 dogs myself that I have been taking care of for the last 5 years. I genuinely enjoy making them happy. They are all like my best friends. I run my own business from home so my schedule is completely flexible! I will gladly send you picture and video updates of your sweet baby and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions while im there! I look forward to meeting you and your baby as we enjoy life while you're gone. Thank you all so much ! I run my own business from home so my schedule is very flexible for me and the client.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, pigs, horses, and cows—so caring for pets has been a lifelong passion. With 34 years of experience, I understand animal behavior deeply and provide attentive, loving care. As the dog momager of four, I’m experienced with multiple breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I specialize in senior pet care, administering medication, and basic training for puppies. Whether your pet needs a cuddle buddy, structured playtime, or extra patience and care, I tailor my approach to their unique needs. Your furry family member will be treated like my own! Process I follow in case any issues arise while your pets are in my care, so you can feel completely confident and at ease while you're away: 1. Initial Assessment: If I notice anything unusual, I’ll assess the situation to determine whether it requires simple monitoring, at-home care or correction, or immediate veterinary attention. 2. Communication: I’ll notify you right away with a clear description of the issue and my recommended course of action. 3. Approval: If the situation requires more than basic monitoring, I’ll either begin with my proposed course of action and adjust based on your direction, or wait for your approval before proceeding—depending on the nature of the issue and what resolution is appropriate. The only exception is in the case of an emergency. 4. Emergency Protocol: In urgent situations, I’ll take your pet directly to the vet and update you as soon as possible. With four pets of my own and a lifetime of experience caring for animals, I’m confident in recognizing and responding to potential concerns. My goal is to give you peace of mind, no matter the reason for your time away, knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands. As the dedicated dog momager of four, pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. From morning walks and feeding schedules to playtime, training, and cuddle sessions, I prioritize giving animals the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s dropping in for a visit, going on a walk, or providing overnight care, I seamlessly incorporate pet-sitting into my schedule. I understand the importance of consistency and routine for pets, and I ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I create a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and comfortable. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space with safe play areas, regular potty breaks, and supervised socialization. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine, ensuring they feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I’m experienced in handling multiple pets, administering medication, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. With me, your pet will always receive attentive, loving, and responsible care.

About: I have had animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. My mother has worked for Rover for years and I wanted to start getting my own income and decided to try it. I feel comfortable with both cats and dogs and I am confident to pet sit and dog walk as well. I have one of my own dogs and I walk him 3-5 miles every day. I have a lot of experience dog walking because my dog used to be an extremely tough puller and he was crazy. I would love to get to know your furry friend and spend some time with them. I am confident in pet sitting and take care of pets while owners are out of town.
