About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have 8 years of experience as a dog owner and 2 years of experience as a cat owner. I also worked at Petco during college, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, behavior, and the unique needs of different animals. In addition to pet sitting, I am currently going back to school to be an teacher and work as a substitute teacher, which reflects my responsible, patient, and dependable nature. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care while you're away. I am currently going back to school to be an elementary school teacher through an online program, and I work as substitute teacher. With the kids on summer break, my summer is wide open! In your home, I will follow your rules to a TEE. My dog is the type of dog that if he got outside of our fence, then he would sprint away, and my cat is the type of cat that if she were to get outside, she would also sprint away. I know how serious it is to care for dogs and cats, and I will treat your pets just as if they were my own: they will get their meals, their bathroom breaks, their walks, and their play time, just as you request.

About: I have grown up with many animals, including exotic animals. We have a grooming station in home and love animals of all types and breeds. I haven’t accept exotic animals as well. I have owned horses, mini pigs inside my house, sugar, gliders, chinchillas, hamsters, lizards, cat, dogs, ferrets, I’m probably forgetting a few more. I have an open schedule and care for my pets very well. My dog even gets dental cleanings every year. My favorites get their nails cut and bathed weekly. I have multiple dog beds, a cat tower tons of toys for all different red animals. Have a fenced in backyard, grooming, station, and home. I have extra cages or tanks if need be. I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.

There's no words to express how much I appreciate Leora. She really makes me feel confident and happy that my cat is getting the best care. Leora is the only person I know who is allowed to brush my cat and hold her like a baby. Thank you again, Leora (and adorable assistants!)

Abby has cat sat two times for me and is gentle and kind to my feline Furkids Velvet and Pepper. Abby gives velvet her insulin shots and gets her to play with wand cat toy which is good exercise for her. Pepper is the athletic one and lives to play with Abby. She gets on the floor to play with them and gives them affection while I’m away which is a relief to me knowing they are cared for. Abby has a big heart and great personality; sending pictures and video and texts! She is super sweet and my cats love her too.

We have never left our dogs with someone before/had someone come over to do drop ins for our dogs, so I was hesitant on trusting a stranger. But at the meet and greet, I knew Sarah was going to be awesome! She was thorough with her questions, got a great understanding of the dogs, even asked questions I didn't think of! I felt our home and dogs were safe with her the entire weekend. She gained our trust instantly (which is not something that happens often)! The dogs loved her and had the best time with her!?

About: Currently, I have two cats. I've had a dog, but before that, I primarily had birds (parakeets), lizards (bearded dragons) and frogs (mostly bull frogs). I cat-sit on occassion for a friend and sibling. I also raise Monarch caterpillars in the summer and release the adults. I work full time outside the home but am home in the summer (teacher). I am available weekends and weekday evenings, with sufficient notice of weekday needs. I am usually available Friday evening through Sunday evening. I am looking to do drop-in pet care and dog boarding. I could board a small pet that resides in an enclosure in my home or a dog (or two dogs from the same household). Both my cats are comfortable with dogs but tend to keep to themselves. I have 2 children and 2 cats at home. It’s a one floor house. The yard is nice and big. I don’t have a fence but I do have a longer leash so the dogs can run a bit.

About: I've been caring for pets for about 6 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I've helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and general pet care. I'm dependable, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention while you're away. I'm currently home from college for the summer and have a flexible schedule through mid-August. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own, so I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care throughout the week. I'm happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pets' needs. I have three cats and a dog of my own and have spent years helping care for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I'll follow your pet's routine, give them lots of attention, and make sure they're happy while you're gone. I treat every pet like they're my own and always want owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.
