About: I have watched dogs for the last seven years. I have whelped multiple litters from my own dog and helped other people, I find happiness spending time with animals and making sure they are healthy and happy too. I am currently working from home and have lots of time on my hands. I am looking for some cute pets to occupy my time:) We will go for walks and play together. I will be sending you pictures and updates. I have a big fenced in yard, but if your dog prefers to stay inside, then my home is their home too.

About: Over the years, I’ve rescued and trained several puppies, helping them find loving homes. My experience with animals began in childhood, where I cared for multiple pets who lived long, happy lives. This lifelong connection with animals has given me the skills and dedication to provide exceptional care. I am currently available at all times, including early mornings, late nights, and any day of the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended pet care, or last-minute needs, I can adjust to your schedule and provide reliable, attentive service. My flexibility ensures your pet gets the care they need, whenever they need it. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to anticipate their needs and reactions in various situations. I also have the necessary tools and equipment to maintain control and ensure the safety of all parties at all times, providing a secure and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners.

Miki was absolutely wonderful doing drop ins for my two cats. She played with them so much and gave them their food and did their litter box and gave them treats. She was dependable and communicated well and gave me a very in-depth card at the end of her visits. I will definitely use her again in the future. I know my cats were happy with her.

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

About: Many many years experience taking care of pets and house sitting. I’ve looked after all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even some farm animals. I’m great at following instructions for the pets and household. Whether it’s giving medication or watering houseplants, I got you covered! I want to give the pet owner as much peace of mind as possible that their fur babies will be safe and happy. I’m available Sun-Sat. 7 days a week. I can also do overnights. Babysitting is my main job, but I’d love to switch to pet sitting full time! I try my best to care for pets as perfectly as possible. I’m great at following instructions for the animals and home. I will always spoil them too! I love giving lots of pets and hanging out on the couch with them. I will treat them like my own fur babies 😊!

About: I’ve taken care of family pets growing up for years, cats and dogs. And walked a dog for a neighbor twice a week for a year. My schedule is pretty flexible but it’s helpful to know a week in advance the timing of when walks are preferred so I can adjust accordingly. I am not able to do pet care in my own home as I am not able to house pets in my current lease, sorry!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and bring a calm, patient energy that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped with crate training, leash manners, and administering medications, and I’m great at tuning into each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the way I connect with animals. I treat every pet like family and always take my time to build trust. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or a quiet presence, I adapt to what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make space in my schedule to give them the attention they deserve. I’m flexible during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, especially in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I plan my days around each pet’s needs and make sure I’m fully present during every visit. Whether it's a short walk or an overnight stay, your pet will always be my top priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash preferences and medication. I double-check doors, gates, and collars to ensure everything is secure during walks or visits. I also create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive to their body language, needs, and routines, and I always send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I’ve been around pets since I was young—feeding, playing with, and caring for neighborhood cats and dogs. Over the years, I’ve fostered many cats and kittens through local shelters, and I’ve also helped friends and family with their dogs whenever they traveled. I’ve worked with pets of all personalities—shy, playful, high-energy, and even senior pets who require extra patience and care. With cats, I’m comfortable administering medications, keeping litter boxes spotless, and creating a safe, stress-free environment. With dogs, I have hands-on experience with: • Puppy care & training basics – helping with potty breaks, crate training support, leash manners, and consistency with simple commands. • Daily exercise & play – long walks, fetch, and enrichment activities to keep dogs both physically and mentally stimulated. • Senior care – offering slower-paced walks, administering medications when needed, and giving extra comfort and attention. What truly makes me different is the love and attention I put into every pet’s care. I’m detail-oriented about the essentials—fresh water, clean bowls, clean litter, daily walks—but I also believe in giving pets the emotional care they need. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing structure, a senior dog needing gentle support, or a shy cat needing quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. For me, pet sitting is about more than just care—it’s about building trust, providing comfort, and making sure your furry family members are happy and secure until you’re home. Right now, I’m focused on pet care full-time, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Since I only do rideshare on the side, I’m available most weekdays, weeknights, weekends, and even holidays. That means I can adjust to your pet’s routine—whether they need morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles. I’m also happy to provide extra availability for last-minute needs or extended care during travel. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so making time for your pets is not just easy—it’s the best part of my day. When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their family is away. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully—from feeding and medication routines to keeping doors, gates, and litter areas secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can notice if something feels “off” and address it right away. If a pet is staying with me, I create a calm and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for rest, play, and snuggles. I make sure the area is clean, safe, and free from hazards, and I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment so they feel at home.

I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I was away for 8 days and Jill came over twice a day during that time to take care of my dog and cat (feed, water, potty, cuddle). She brought in my mail, added water to my pool, and sent me photos and documentation on each visit. She is so reliable, I didn’t have to worry at all. And best of all the animals look forward to her visits. So glad I found Jill!

Alexandra was great! This was her first time sitting for us, and she quickly came over for a meet-and-greet and was wonderful with the dogs. She was friendly and kind, and she asked good questions to make sure she knew how to best care for our pups. She gave good, detailed updates every time she visited, like little mini short stories about our pups and her time with them. I felt like our dogs were in very good hands and very well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Alex the next time we need a pet sitter.
