About: I have extensive experience caring for cats and absolutely adore them. I’ve looked after a wide range—from playful kittens to elderly cats requiring daily medication and special attention. In addition to feline care, I’ve also cared for both large and small dogs. I regularly walked two larger dogs twice a day, managed their food-based medications and probiotics, and made sure they got plenty of affection and snuggle time. I’ve also cared for smaller breeds, including a dachshund and another small companion dog, giving each pet the individual care they need to feel safe and loved!! I just work nights 5 days a week so I have daytime very available, I do leave for work around 8pm and I typically wake up around 9-11 am. I’m used to getting exercise so I don’t mind at all doing 1-2 walks daily and letting them out to go potty. I typically have Monday and Tuesday off ☺️ I’ve been house sitting pretty regularly through another platform, I keep the spaces I’m in incredibly tidy and as clean or cleaner than you left it. I’m very affectionate with animals and love to cuddle with them, if you have cats I love to play with them if they enjoy them, and dogs I can let them outside and throw their ball in between walks doing sits. I primarily prefer to do sits at the house rather than check ins but I’m open to doing check ins!
“My kitties were so happy with Jillian they were sad when she left. Sunny and Shadow had shiny coats from brushing. She fed them lots of tests at night. She sent many updates through the day depicting their walkabouts around the property. I felt like I was there with my cats at home from all the updates! I would highly recommend her services if are feeling nervous about leaving your home and fur babies. She was compassionate and was professional with her communication. I am so happy my cats had a friend to cuddle with while I was away. 😃”
About: I may be young, but I've had multiple animals in my life already: 3 cats, a handful of dogs, some fish, and even a horse. I also did rescue for 5 years, being a foster family for numerous cats working with my local animal shelter. I also dog-sit for family and friends. I am free any day throughout the week as long as I get notice at least a day ahead. I am an older sister to lots of kids, so scheduling is very important to me. I would treat your animal just like my own: walks, playtime, relaxation, and feeding. I can also bathe and brush as well. If you can give me a list of what your pets need, I'll make it a priority.
“We hired Alice to pet sit our kittens when we were out for a a week and a half, including overnights. We returned to happy, healthy kittens. I was a little worried because one of the cats needs medication, but she handled that nicely. She was also communicative and responsive, and left the house in great condition.”

“Malique has watched my pets twice now, and I’ll never book with anyone else! I have 3 frogs and a fish and a cat she did an amazing job caring for. I was so nervous since the frogs needed frozen food and water changes (and my fish is a bit blind). She did absolutely amazing and definitely has a ton of knowledge about all kinds of animals! My kitty really loves her as well. She’s also extremely responsive to texts/ calls and sent pictures while I was out of town. I even had a last minute booking this weekend she made time for! Thank you so much for caring for my babies!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was a kid. From dogs and cats to birds and turtles. Animals have always been a magical part of my life. Weekly animals are a huge part of my life. From caring for my own, to walking dogs and watching animals while their families are away. We live in a neighborhood that is very close to lots of great trails for hiking. My dog Abby loves making friends as do my kids.
About: I had a very reactive and anxious dog for years. I know that some fur babies require extra love and care and am happy to give yours anything they require. I am very flexible. My full time job is remote so I can be available to stay with your animals or just hop over and check on them. Whichever you prefer. I am very flexible. I can come to where your pets live and stay with them, or I can bring them to my place if you prefer. Or I can just visit them through out the days if you prefer.
About: I have had my own pets starting at a very young age, trained, rescued, volunteered at pet foundations and charities, and helped my old vet before he retired in Las Vegas for many years. Animals are my passion! I am retired and available now with an open schedule for your needs. I live with my one Beloved Cat who is tolerant of my comings and goings. First and foremost, my way of doing things is to take care of your furry baby the same way you have been doing with the same routine that you already established. This cuts down on the stress level of you being absent. I want your pet to feel loved and safe!

“From the time I’ve known MJ she has been nothing but kind and caring towards anyone she may meet and is one of the biggest dog lovers I know. She lived in a house with 4+ dogs at all times and she’s shown how much she loves and cares for her animals. She takes extensive care for them and I wouldn’t trust anyone more than her with any of my pets I own.”

“Erica is a responsible, experienced and loving pet sitter and dog walker. She even stayed for two nights to watch my giant, crazy puppy and did a great job at managing that puppy energy all the while keeping my home safe from puppy damage. She also did great with my other dog that can be a bit unpredictable off leash. Both my dogs love her and we highly recommend her services.”
Briana P.

Nikita D.
“I have used Nikita as a dog sitter for my 100 pound yellow lab quite some time. She is efficient and so great with him. He loves seeing her and the best thing about her is that she is active and our lab loves that. She loves being outside and so does our 12 year old lab, but she also knows his limits as far as how much is too much. She is so incredibly respectful when she stays over in our home which is a huge relief! We don’t use anyone else when we go on vacations or go out of town for a weekend. I would rate her 100 stars and recommmend her to anyone that’s wants a loving dog sitter.”
Tanya M.
“I appreciated Tanya being kind and caring for our lil old man. On her last day she was very accommodating to stay over an additional night.”
