About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play and bathe their dog, always knowing I’d treat them like my own. I make sure every pup gets a safe, active walks, fun, playtime and personalized care from medication to mealtime quirks. I pay close attention to behavior changes and follow routines closely to keep dogs happy, healthy and stress-free. My goal? To give every dog the care they truly deserve. I work part-time, but I’m completely available during the week for walks, playtime, and quality care. On weekends, I’m available after 2 PM for afternoon visits. I provide personalized, attentive care whether I’m in my home or the client’s. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I keep the environment calm, clean, and familiar to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure they get enough exercise, love, and care. My goal is to make it feel like their family never left.

About: I had dogs growing up and cats since 2007. We added our rescue dog in 2020 at my sons' and my request. I've pet sat for friends and family when they have taken trips. Hi! I currently have open availability and am looking to make pet care my full-time employment. Whether you're looking for someone to host your pet in a safe and loving home, or prefer in-home visits at your residence, I'm happy to accommodate your needs. Lots of playtime, love, and attention! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Hi there! I'm a dedicated pet lover offering a safe, loving environment for your furry family member. Our home features a fully fenced, spacious, and professionally maintained backyard — perfect for running, playing, or just lounging in the sun. We have a friendly mixed German Shepherd who absolutely loves making new canine friends. Your pup will have a built-in buddy and plenty of space to play safely. Our yard is also professionally treated for mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, so your dog can enjoy the outdoors without worry. Our family truly loves animals and treats every pet like one of our own — with affection, attention, and lots of tail-wagging fun. Whether you’re looking for overnight boarding or daytime companionship, your dog will be welcomed with open arms (and a wagging tail!). Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend!

About: I truly care about all animals’ physical needs as well as their mental health. They are animals, and we are also animals, we both got feelings. I’m available for most weekends and holidays to take care of your furry family when you are away. When boarding your dogs, I’m 24 hours home. I have a high crate, and I make sure the dogs are on leash when going out for a walk. Our complex is huge with a lot of grass where the residents love to have dogs living here. We are 10-mins away from beautiful parks where I took my dog over there all the time.

“I am very private, and am not one to write reviews, but I needed to tell the world about Monica. Monica is amazing, I can count on her and trust her 100 % when I go away. My little angels gravitate towards her, and I am very grateful to have found such a great pet sitter. Thank you Monica for all that you do !!”

About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.

“I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!”

About: I have either owned or taken care of dogs since I was very young. I began dog sitting around 10 years ago. I can come to your home or do in home visits. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes from Cane Corsos to Bassett Hounds and many more. I currently work part time as a crossing guard in my community. That gives me a lot of extra time especially in the summer to care for my animals as well as others. I have a separate room for cats to stay in that has a screen door. They can see out but not get out as well as my cats can see in but not get in.

About: I've been caring for small pets such as, Hamsters, Guinea-pigs and Fish (from goldfish, etc. to Oscars,etc.) from a very young age. Therein, for example, when I was still a little girl, my friend and neighbor could no longer care for their beloved, hamster, Andy; who did they think of... me ! So, Andy, the hamster was adopted and added to the fold. Next, Cats and Dogs. When my neighbor found a stray cat had given birth in their shed closet, again, who did they call?! I adopted one of the 3 kittens; adopting their sibling from the same liter soon after the first adoptee, was unable to care for it. I began caring for Angel and Geisha, my first two cats. Last but not least, Dogs... Cream was a white Pittie, whose owner, again, became unable to care for her so she lived with me and my 2 year old daughter at the time, and they loved each other dearly. After, finding Cream a permanent home, I had the honor of caring for other dogs for friends and neighbors even the homeless, from which I cared for Lulu, a pittie, living with her owner on the street. However, she received a healthy diet, vet care and patience, training to reverse some of the habits she developed living on the street. Now, although, I've cared for others such as Bamboo, the Pitbull, that seemed to take care of himself, lol and Karma, who needed a foster during the Covid pandemic; I'm entrusted with the care of my Pittie/German-Sheppard Gran-pet baby, Nasir aka Nas, while my daughter's in college. Nice enough, I still get to switch it up and care for the Cats (and small pets) of various friends and neighbors in my community. With that, I try o create a Pet-care Staycation like atmosphere when boarding or Home care while pet-parents are away and a Family like atmosphere for Fosters. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and four legged family members :) Pet care is not only therapeutic, it fits into my schedule perfectly, since I am a semi-retired administrative professional who suffered an untimely stroke at a young age. However. after an almost miraculous recovery, I'd like to move forward in a direction that nurtures my empathetic personality. Therein, leaving the desk behind, affording me with a more active lifestyle, all year round. As to that, my days generally consist of assisting my daughter with her dog, exercise, personal errands and volunteering a few hours a week. Although, I take pet care jobs occasionally, I'd like to "officially"extend my services to do something I love (I believe I'm good at it.) and rewarding because the pets (my clients) always seem to appreciate it. I have a fenced in yard and super friendly and silly, one year old fur gran-baby that would be happy to show a visiting canine "the ropes", lol. I can also crate and/or crate train your dog(s), when necessary. They will always have access to clean water; be walked consistently and fed on time and kept in a clean an organized space, whether at your home or mine. I make sure to follow pet parents care instructions. I send photos or video of fun moments to give insight as to how your pets are doing and cared for. I play, pet and communicate with each pet in their way to build trust, friendship and joy while their pet parents are away. In addition, I have had some dog training in the recent past and will have more dog training in the near future to help me care for our hairy pals compassionately and efficiently. [NOTE to Drop-in Clients: Please understand, Safety is a concern for Everyone; pet care givers, pet parents and pets. I work on a basis of professional Trust between all parties, including the pet party. All I can offer are my Referrals, my Word as a trusted professional and a background check conducted by Rover. I expect the same appropriate professionalism, trustworthiness and mutual respect from those who accept my Services. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.] I look forward to working with you. ;-)

“Trisha was available at the last minute for us to take a day trip and we are so thankful! We appreciate her consistent communication and our boy is always well cared for.”
