About: I love animals of all kinds. I’ve been a pet sitter for family and friends for years and have also had 2 dogs of my own. I’m experienced with mega esophagus as well as other special needs. I am currently working a few days a week and have ample time during the days I have off for visits, walks, meal times and play time. I have a fenced in yard with 2 indoor cats. There is plenty of room to roam outside as well as a private room for any overnight visits.

About: I’ve dog sat and raised my terrier for the past 10+ years! I love dogs, and my terrier lived to almost 14 years. Now I’m looking to walk dogs mainly since I miss it! I am fluent in english and spanish. I work full time Monday through Thursday. I am available to dog walk any time Friday through Sunday or the occasional weekday evenings after 7 PM. I have experience walking both small dogs and large dogs. I am comfortable taking them around neighborhoods, to parks, or even taking them for a run!

About: 20+ years of experience with animals. I've handled dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and many other animals. I am comfortable being around animals of any age. I have helped with both cat and dog litter birth. Experience with senior dog care and medication schedule, as well as specific food needs. Experienced with allergies in dogs, as well as with K-9 epilepsy. Not experience with blind/deaf/amputee animals, but am comfortable with caring for them. I plan on getting certified for animal CPR as well. I have a genuine love for animals, am able to have a lot of patience, and I'm a very quick learner! I look forward to caring for your cuties! ♥ My animals are my life, I even picked out the house I live in because it had specific comforts for my dogs (I had my Chihuahua and Aussie at the time). My Australian Shepherd is, as a previous vet put it, a "delicate little flower". He will be 13 in June, 2025, is epileptic and has allergies as well as alopecia. He gets anti-convulsant medication at 6am and 6pm everyday, which is also food time. He gets grain free dry food with a mix of Hill's Science wet food for sensitive skin and stomach. I also have a kitten I acquired on accident in October 2024, via the "Cat Distribution Center". A small ball of lint ran out of a tipped over trash can in a driveway and squeaked at me. He's now about 7 months as of May 2025, and has a perfect and clean bill of health. He's allowed free-feeding of dry food as of now, as he doesn't over-eat, and he gets wet food at 6pm to ensure hydration. He's extremely active, so we basically have play time once every hour all day long, it's exhausting for me, but I know he needs the stimulation and movement. My Aussie also plays a little bit during kitten play time, though not as intense as he's losing the ability to use his hind legs, but he's still got that puppy energy! I also enjoy taking them out and about every now and then, my Aussie has a wagon he can sit/lay in on walks, and my cat comes along in a backpack carrier, and currently we're working on harness and leash training so he can walk around freely like his older dog brother. For caring in my own home: I have the luxury of a big, fenced in, back yard that's easily accessible via large sliding glass doors. As well as a decent spaced first floor. The cat food that's left out is in a play-pen that can be closed off safely to ensure my fur-client can't access food that may potentially interact with any medical problems they have. I also have a supply of 1 gallon buckets that I use for water, and can place them anywhere in the house that will be most comfortable for the animal. For caring in a clients home: Your house, your rules! I am not coming in to your home to set new routines and rules. You and your animals have established schedules and expectations. I do expect a walk-through from my client of their daily rituals and routines. I need to know food schedules, food measurements, any medical needs and schedules, typical walk/outside time/frequency, as well as play time and their favorite toys! I also would like to know specific rules, like places the client doesn't want their pet to access, or things I need to keep their pet away from. For walking; I'd like to know their favorite or most comfortable park, or walking route, as well as how they interact with other people/animals outside of the house.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of family members over the years from cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, aquatics, horses, and chickens. I have been loved by all sizes big and small. I will treat your babies of all kinds as if they were my own. I do work a full time job during the weekdays. So weekday evening care is the best time for me. Weekends and holidays i am available most hours. I can give medicine or care for your animals as needed. I can crate and do some clean up (if agreed to in advance. Photos will be provided of your loved one during the visit. I dont mind being video taped if you have ring cameras or something similar.

“Okay, here's a review you can use for your cat sitter: I can't say enough good things about Kasenia! Leaving my cats with someone is always a little stressful, but she put my mind completely at ease. Kasenia sent me daily updates and photos, and it was clear my cats were getting lots of love and attention. I came home to a happy and relaxed cats. Highly recommend!”


About: I have cared for various animals throughout my life and was always around them which included anything from Alaskan Malamutes, to Tabby Cats, Guinea Pigs, etc. Currently I have 5 cats between my partner and I. One of our cats has special needs, and takes various medications on a daily basis. I also have watched over other family and friends pets through out my life. We had a hospice foster pit-bull we cared for dearly, who unfortunately had passed away a couple of years ago. From small to large, I am an animal lover through and through and love making new friends of all kinds! Currently my availability is wide open for visits and walking for every day of the week, anywhere from early in the morning to late at night or in between. My personal pets (5 Cats) have scheduled routine meals 4 times a day, one of which gets multiple medications with dinner. My partner and I try to stick to that schedule specifically for our pets benefit, health and happiness. Cleaning up after your pet is not a worry either, as having 5 cats and a senior dog in hospice care, there tend to be a few accidents that happen. In your home, I would like to follow your instructions and rules for the same reasons in regards to food, medication and clean up to ensure both you and your pet are happy and feeling good!

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat. My skills include puppy training, crate training, basic command training, and managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs, allergies, and maintaining breed-specific grooming standards. As a passionate pet lover, I volunteer with the Red Cross animal visitation program. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work part-time and live 10 minutes from my house. I always check in on my pets during lunch. My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home to safety & use cameras to check in on them.

Kathryn H.
“I have know Kathryn (Kate) for 25 years, and during that time she has always taken exceptional care of her animals. She goes above and beyond with caring for her beloved cats and her late German Shepard, Remy. Remy dealt with a slight disability all of his life, and she took the extra steps on a daily basis for him to receive the love and care that she knew he deserved. Kate is very thoughtful, responsible, and has always had a love and connection with all animals. She would be an excellent choice to entrust with your animal's care.”

She has owned dogs since she was a child having tons of experience with their unique behaviors, needs, and personalities. If I ever talk bad about a dog, literally any dog, she says, "shut up he's perfect". She's also a cardio machine and any dog would be lucky to get walked by her.”

I believe Bailey would be a great, responsible and loving pet caregiver.”

He plays with all of them regardless of disability or medical condition. Honestly one of the most trustworthy individuals I've had watch my animals.”


Chrishauna M.
“Chrishauna is incredibly reliable, caring, and a nurturing individual; she is one of my main choices as a pet-sitter. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with pets, Chrishauna always goes the extra mile to make sure they feel safe and loved.
