“Karen was amazing! She gave me complete peace of mind while on vacation. Karen took care of my 4 cats, all with different personalities. She was there twice a day, checked in and sent pictures each time. I highly recommend Karen to anyone who is seeking an animal lover who is reliable and trust-worthy and so very nice!!”
“Caroline was excellent and reliable! My cat who normally doesn’t come out of hiding for “strangers” was very social. I knew that both of my cats were with someone compassionate and responsible.

About: Kris and I have each enjoyed caring for our, and friends' pets, for many years. We have also taught our children to value and care for their pets. Since we are both retired, we want to continue to enjoy our 2 pets and share our enjoyment of dogs and cats with others by caring for theirs. We play with our pets, especially our dog, every day. He also has a regular play date with our neighbor's dog. We like to play with the pets at their desired level of participation, never forced.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!
About: I have looked after and walked dogs all of my life and enjoy every minute with them, walking & sitting is something I enjoy the most I’m currently in school part time and will a ton of time to walk or watch your dog, something I love and absolutely enjoy doing Safety is #1 priority in overseeing your pet,bringing the greatest care along with a warm fun experience is my goal. An experience your dog will always look forward to
About: I have been pet sitting throughout all four years of high school and now that I am in college, I am looking for a summer job doing something I love which is spending time with animals. Pet care fits into my schedule as I will be home from college for the summer and looking for something that is low stress and enjoyable to fill my time. I always make sure to treat clients animals as if they were my own and with love and care. I always want to also make sure that they are getting all of their needs met and I will go always do my best to go above and beyond to give joy to animals in any way possible.
About: Prices are negotiable - for experience: I've grown up taking care of animals and am very comfortable with dogs especially. We have a 15 year old dog at home, as well as a six year old and one year old dog. I have cared for rabbits, tortoises, fish, birds (budgie and parakeet), a bearded dragon, as well as many cats. I run a personal pet sitting business for many years now with customers among neighbors, family friends, and ones met solely for care reasons. I have worked with foster puppies, and exercise with our dogs, and thus can help work through some of your dog's energy. I've spent time with many breeds, ages, and energy levels, and am excited to meet yours! I attend school from 7am-3:30pm on weekdays, and will be around for most weekends. Availability will depend, but I will always be sure to follow-through on commitments, and keep in good communication with pet owners. I typically do drop-in services where I feed, check in, and play with the pets when appropriate. I usually send text updates when I drop by, including any pictures that come of the visit. I have done both dog walking and overnights with various dogs, including pit-mixes that pull to senior pups with medication and other special needs. Personally, we feed our dogs nightly with snacks in the morning, and have a fenced-in yard for them to run around in.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and former vet assistant, I’ve always worried about traveling and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter. Will they remember to latch back gate? Did they clean the cat box? Are they getting enough attention? With me as your sitter, you can kiss those worries goodbye and actually enjoy your time away! I am a proactive communicator. You can expect updates and photos tailored to your expectations. My full time job is remote, meaning I can be your stand in pet parent and house sitter! I work remotely most days each week with a completely flexible schedule. We can determine what frequency of services your pets need to be happy and safe while you are away. Pets love routine and sticking to it ensures they feel secure. At our meet and greet, we will go over daily routines for feedings, potty breaks, exercise, and down time.
About: I’ve taken care of my two pets since I’ve had them, as well as volunteered at several pet shelters doing things like taking them for walks and feeding and cleaning cages I work day shift with rotating weekends so there are weeks I can come early to walk your pets. I can come after work to feed and walk them daily. Unless you have a fenced in yard your pet will stay on a leash fully and away from other animals they don’t know to ensure everyone’s safety
