About: Hi ! my name is Justice, I'm currently a part time student and only have classes in the mornings on weekdays. I am available weekends and overnights. I have lived with multiple dogs all my life and currently have one dog of my own! I've also worked in Petsmart where I was in charge of feeding, walks, and play time, of pets so I am used to sticking to a schedule and accommodating pet parents !! I love all dogs and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have some experience with training. I have previously cared for puppies all the way to senior dogs and have knowledge when it comes to assessing dangerous situations! I am also certified in pet CPR as well as pet first aid! I look forward to working with you as well as your pet!! I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.

“Jessica took great care of my two cats while I was away for the weekend. She gave them lots of play and affection, kept them well fed and watered, and kept the litter box clean. She even left a homemade cat toy for them!”


About: I had my own dog and cat for most of my life. Now that they have passed, I find joy in helping others care for their pets. I work flexible hours from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I am available throughout the day. I adapt to the rules and routines of any household I am welcomed into. I aim to make your pet comfortable with my presence so I can care for them.

About: Hi there! 👋 Welcome to Dodo’s Doggy Care! My name is Carolyn, mom of a little human and our sweet pup, Dodo, a 4-year old mini goldendoodle girl. Growing up with dogs, I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I’m pet first aid and CPR certified with the American Red Cross, and am also able to provide salon-grade mini groom (luxury bath, blow dry, eye and ear cleaning, trimming of sanitary area, paw pads trim and treatment, price upon request) to make your pup refreshed and happy. Working from home and having two pups max. at a time allow me to keep close eye on your pup, with great flexibility to make sure your furry baby are having the best time possible. I’m here to treat your fur baby like my own. You baby will get unlimited patting, belly rubbing, snuggles, chase, play and more. With our spacious backyard and a super friendly companion Dodo, your fur baby is going to have plenty of room to chill and play, and I’d also like to bring resident pups to “field trips” to local parks, scenic trials, and pet-friendly stores nearby with your consent. And it gets better. I’m happy to send you tons of cute updates until you tell me to stop, and each pup will also receive a little surprise gift from me to wrap their stay, with returning pup discount available for a limited period of time.

“I’m truly grateful for the care Neve provided. We have two cats one is very old. Neve went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. A complete professional who displayed tremendous compassion to our cats. I can’t thank her enough.”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, along with a calm, confident approach to every pet I work with. My background includes specialized care for both energetic puppies in need of training reinforcement and gentle, attentive support for senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra comfort. What sets me apart is my commitment to individualized care. I tailor each visit or session based on your dog’s specific needs—whether it's administering medication, practicing leash etiquette, or simply providing consistent, loving companionship. I also prioritize communication, providing real-time updates and detailed summaries so you’re always in the loop. This isn’t just pet sitting—it’s professional, compassionate care built on trust, patience, and genuine love for animals. My lovely wife & I work from home, which allows us ample time and full focus to care for your pets throughout the day. This flexibility means I can provide attentive, consistent care tailored to your cat’s needs without rushing. I’m available for bookings Monday through Friday, offering reliable visits that fit seamlessly into your pet’s routine. With me, your cat will receive the loving care and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for them in my home or yours. I live in a secure apartment complex with a fully fenced dog park, providing a safe, controlled space where dogs can run, play, and socialize freely. Additionally, there’s ample yard space nearby for them to explore and frolic in a natural, stimulating environment. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly atmosphere that encourages trust and relaxation. Every outing and interaction is carefully supervised to ensure your pet’s well-being at all times. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands.

“Fijian was everything I could hope for in a cat sitter and MORE! She took excellent care of my babies and sent extremely detailed updates after every visit. She is an adept caretaker and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her very capable hands. I’ve already booked her for another weekend!”


About: My friends would say my love for animals is one of my most defining features. If you look at my social media explore pages or scroll through my camera roll, it is genuinely just an endless album of adorable dogs and cats I've encountered everywhere. Animals bring me joy that I don’t think can be replicated in another way and it always makes my day whenever I just pass by one. I love wholesomeness and with that said I sincerely care about providing the best possible care, endless affection, and a safe, happy environment for every pet I have the privilege of looking after. It brings me so much unfathomable joy to do what I love most as a hobby as a job. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with a lot of free time on days I don't have classes. This gives me alot of time to schedule pet care into my routine! I like to be a patient and attentive caregiver, understanding that every pet has unique needs and preferences, whether it's during meal times or grooming. I'll actively monitor their environment to ensure their safety and well-being and will always reach out to you if I have any concerns.

I am also comfortable looking after feline (cat) pets as I have taken care of them with my boyfriends family during drop ins, and also freshwater aquarium pets as I have hosted them in my home for my cousins taking care of up to 6 in a tank. I am in college so I only attend school three days out of the week leaving all day of monday and friday, adding on I have a late class wednesday so I am available early on Wednesdays! I am also free on the weekends. So, I am able to check in with pets during my free time, and make sure to care for the fur babies. I can do afternoons for monday, friday, and the weekend and day time for wednesday! In my home I have one pet, my girl dog pearl who receives all the love she can get and is treated as a family member :) In my home I have a fenced yard, I have treats to provide, toys, and more. I also have a play penn in which pets can have space and play freely if wished to be crated. I will make sure to always give attention to the pets just as if they were my own babies.
