About: I’ve grown up with pets and currently have a 5 year old poodle! He’s the best boy, but I’m sure your pet is great too! I make my own schedule as a piano tuner, so I have the ability to work around your schedule helping your pet whenever you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet safe. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking doors and gates, and treating your property with care. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have always loved cats and dogs. They are kind and share unconditional love with us humans. I have been responsible for cats and dogs in my own home since I was 7 years old. Friends have left me with their pets and their children for weekends at a time. You can trust that your pets will be well taken care of while they are in my care. I tend bar in the early evenings 4 nights a week. My bartending shifts range from 4-6 hours. Mornings and early afternoons work great for stop ins and walks. I can come to your place to care for your pets. I will walk your dogs and will play with dogs and cats. And when I walk your dog, I won’t be on my phone. I will be present.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals and a background in veterinary care. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including pets who are anxious, nervous, or need a little extra patience and reassurance. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, basic medication routines, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and personality so they can feel happy and secure while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. 🐾🤍 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life, so caring for other pets naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to building my day around feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I have three cats and two dogs of my own, so I understand how important consistency and keeping a pet’s normal routine can be. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual schedule and needs, whether that means a quick potty break, a long walk, medication, or simply some extra love and cuddles while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. 🐾🤍 I care for every pet as an individual and always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pets’ normal feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules as consistent as possible. I’m very experienced with giving medications and comfortable caring for pets with different needs, ages, and personalities. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll keep things clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾🤍

About: Hi, I’m Ocean! I’m a Veterinary Technician with over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. Working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs extra patience, or requires medications or special care, you can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced hands. My top priorities are always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know they’re family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a part of my daily and weekly routine because I already work full-time as a veterinary technician. I’m used to structuring my days around animal care, including feeding schedules, medication times, monitoring behavior, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. On a typical day, I’m already in a rhythm of caring for multiple animals, so adding pet sitting or drop-ins fits in smoothly before or after work, as well as on my days off. I’m very organized and plan ahead to make sure each pet in my care gets consistent, reliable attention. I’m a calm, reliable, and detail oriented person who understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a specific routine, medication, or just some loving attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with three fur babies of my own—two cats and my sweet Husky mix, Sasha. My pets are a huge part of my life, so I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will treat them like family. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to work pet care into my routine and give each pet plenty of attention. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and stays around my work schedule, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and needs ahead of time. I’ll always make sure they’re getting the care, exercise, and companionship they’re used to while you’re away. I love getting dogs outside for walks, playtime, and adventures, and I’m conveniently located just a few blocks from a dog park. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with plenty of supervised outdoor time and attention. In my home, I do allow pets on the bed and couch. They live here too! You can expect a loving royal treatment from our family :)

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, parrots, and bunnies. I currently have two dogs of my own and am in the process of adopting a kitten as well. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student on summer break, I currently have a very open and flexible schedule with availability any time, any day of the week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day while making sure they stay comfortable and happy. I’m very responsible, caring, and attentive when it comes to animals. I always listen carefully to owners’ instructions and make sure to follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and specific needs. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel cared for and secure while their owners are away.

About: Over the years, I’ve watched, walked, bathed, and fed cats and dogs for friends, family, and other pet parents just like you. I’ve always been able to bond quickly with other people’s pets, and I really enjoy getting to know their personalities and routines. I’m very attentive to details and make sure I’m following care instructions closely so each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I am currently working remotely part-time and have a lot of flexibility. I plan out my week in advance, so to increase the likelihood of working together, I recommend sending your request with as much notice as possible. That said, I’ll always do my best to accommodate last-minute requests (1–2 days out) when I can. which changes some from week to week. For overnight boarding, I can do some weekends and am always available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll always reach out with any questions before or during a visit to make sure I’m caring for your pet exactly how you'd like. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding schedules to litter box or potty routines, and always make sure your pet is safe and comfy before I leave. I’ll treat your home just like my own, making sure doors are locked and everything is left just as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you can feel confident your furry BFF is happy while you’re away. :)

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for many years. I'm the person people contact when they feel they need a trustworthy, kindhearted, animal lover who completely understands their beloved friends needs. I offer a safe, fun environment, and will cater to your requests! I have a large fenced yard for lots of playtime however I always walk with leash and prefer dog owners let me know if their pet answers to COME, in order to let off leash and play ball, or if they prefer to keep on a lead when outside for playtime. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs in my home since I was a child. Many breeds, from min-pin, to German Shephard. I prefer to care for dogs that are used to children. I have helped rescue, and foster dogs, for people in a variety of living circumstances, all with great results! I currently don't have any pets. My beloved Chihuahua Lily of 14 years died 3 years ago. Prior to her passing, I had many cats over a span of 35 years and a couple other dogs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have experience caring for dogs through my own family, family friends, and my friends’ pets. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide any extra care they may need, including giving medication when necessary. I love going on walks, so I’d be excited to bring your pup along for plenty of exercise and fresh air! I’m also an aquarist and care for marine life, which has taught me to be responsible, observant, and attentive to animals’ individual needs. I truly love animals of all kinds and would treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I have a part-time work schedule that gives me plenty of availability to care for pets throughout the week. I’m able to make time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and simply keeping your pet company. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they’re getting the care and attention they’re used to while you’re away. I also enjoy being active, so getting out for a walk is something I genuinely look forward to! I care for every pet as if they were my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any routines or preferences your pet has. I have a fenced-in backyard that can be a great option for pets who may not be comfortable going on walks or who just enjoy some extra outdoor time. I do live with other animals, but I would always keep your pet separated at first and only allow introductions if it’s appropriate and everyone is comfortable. My priority is making sure your pet has a calm, safe environment and receives the individual attention they need.
