About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care to every pet I look after. My background includes working alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, assisting with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and administering medications. Whether it’s managing pets with chronic conditions, administering medications, or simply offering a calming presence, my veterinary experience ensures your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I prioritize safety, well-being, and individualized care for every animal, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. While I am not available during the day, I will be available after 6:00 pm and in the mornings before I leave for work. I am also available almost all day during the weekends to be around for your pets. When caring for both my own pets and a client’s pet, I treat each animal with the same level of love and attention. I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for! I also give treats (with permission) as a way to reward good behavior and build trust. Every pet in my care is treated like family.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I could remember growing up. And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well! Since I have a full house I would prefer to come to you. I love to go for walks and play outside with my dogs or when I’m watching someone else’s and I make sure I keep them on the same feeding schedule.

“Our pets (dogs, cats, bird, fish) took to Christine right away and she provided fantastic care for them while we were gone for two weeks. She sent us photos of the pets and we could see how happy they all were! We could tell they were comfortable and had a stress free time by the way they were acting on our return. They were very happy to see us, but didn’t have that nervous edge we have seen after previous trips with other pet sitters. The house was in great order also! We are putting in a request for our next trip and we hope Christine is available!”


“Aliece took care of our two pups for a week in our home and was communicative, professional, and kind. We felt so good knowing that the doggos were in good hands and appreciated her regular updates!”


“Sydnee was a great house/dog sitter for my 2 dogs and my parent’s elderly dog. She gave many updates and sent lots of pics. It was a relief to know my dogs were getting lots of love and being spoiled and knowing my parents elderly dog was getting the care he needed. Can’t wait to have Sydnee come back! Thank you so much!!”


About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs from around ten years of age, in that time I’ve cared for pets of friends, families, and neighbors, and I’m looking to expand who I can help, and assist with providing piece of mind to pet owners where I can. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and have experience with caring for, owning, and fostering cats and kittens Unfortunately due to my living situation I’m unable to have pets of my own right now, so I’ve got a bunch of extra love to give to yours. I’m currently taking online college courses, so I have ample time to help provide the attention and affection that your pet deserves. This leaves my schedule very open, and I am able to be very flexible with providing pet care. I have full and complete respect for clients property and homes. I understand that it can be frightening to let someone into your home and care for something you love so much, and I do everything I can to ensure that both pet and owner are comfortable.

“Livia did an amazing job watching my two dogs at our house over the weekend. Their ease and contentment were visible in the pictures she sent - I could tell they loved and were comfortable around her. She is a true dog person, and is responsive, reliable, and caring. Thank you for putting our minds at ease while we were away!!”
