About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine love behind it. I grew up helping my mom care for our cats and cats in need and got my first dog in second grade, which taught me responsibility early on. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and I treat every animal with the same care and compassion I grew up with. As of right now I’m taking a gap year and working part-time in order to figure out what I want to do. Which means I have plenty of time during the day to play with and keep your pet happy! I’ll care for your pets in your home by following the routine given, keeping yours and their space clean, giving them plenty of walks, love, playtime, and attention, and sending regular updates so you always know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 and love animals of every kind. Along with taking care of my family's pets, I have had training to become a certified babysitter for guide dogs for the visually impaired. I’m currently working part time Monday through Friday remotely, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I only work in the mornings, so afternoons or early morning walks or visits are ideal. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and boardings on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm and all day Mondays and Thursdays. I’ve grown up with dogs and am an animal lover at heart so caring for pets in my home or yours comes easily to me. To ensure your pet gets the care they need I will ensure to take them outside for plenty of potty breaks and walks, and lots of snuggle time when we're inside. I’ll also make sure to check-in with their individual feeding requirements and schedule based on your instructions.
“Jordan has been great. We've used her several times now. She always shows up on time and with a smile on her face. She's a very quick and responsive communicator. And, she loves our dog. We'll keep using her.”
About: Hi there! I’m Rowyn, and I have wide availability this Fall. I’d be thrilled to care for your pets and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away!! I’ve spent years looking after the beloved pets of friends, neighbors, and family, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. At home, I currently have two cats, three fish, and a crested gecko. I also have experience with hedgehogs, mice, and bunnies. My skills include administering medication to both cats and dogs, maintaining good hygiene (like grooming and other cleanups), and most importantly providing consistent, attentive companionship! I genuinely love animals and always have fun playing with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat just wants a cozy lap and some gentle pets, I’m here to help. :’) Feel free to reach out with any questions, or we can schedule a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! Schedule: As a college student, my schedule varies but I have a wide availability. I can do weekends as well so I should be able to fit around any schedule you require! For drop-in visits I will give your pet(s) food and water, clean litter boxes and handle any messes your pet makes. I will also pet and play with them and just generally check up on them to make sure they're doing okay along with any special needs and attention your pet may require. I can also water house plants or maintain the house if you need me to.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own varying in breeds, ages and sizes and I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and families dogs of every kind since i was 10! I’m currently enrolled in classes at a University so I have a lot of free time around my classes to take care of your dogs part-time! My schedule can be flexible! I have 3 dogs which I care for, so I’m ready to play with your pups and give them the attention they need, and care for older dogs who need more calm attentive care!
“Christine is great with the dogs. I needed help because I had foot surgery and can’t walk them, and she walked them when my husband went on a business trip. The pups were so excited to see her each day! We would request Christine again in the future”
“Carys was great with Harley! She always gave her long walks, was super kind, responsible, and easy to talk to. Communication was always great and I always felt comfortable knowing Harley was in good hands. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she works with. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Zana is an incredible pet sitter/walker who we’ve used multiple times. Our dog loves when she comes over and she sends many updates and pictures. We look forward to using her in the future.”
About: Hey! My name is Kyla, I have about 9 years of animal experience. I just graduated with a degree in Animal Behavior & currently work at a veterinary clinic! I have knowledge on medications, and experience with many different medical conditions. P.S. Your pets will receive photoshoots during their time with me!😊🐾 I just graduated college and I am working at a vet office part time, so i definitely need more animal time fit into my schedule!🫶🏽 I make sure to be very generous of the animals space as a lot of animals are protective and make sure they are as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve had my own dogs for as long as I can remember and in addition to that, family and friends always come to me first when they’re in need of someone to care for their pets. I do not consider my own pets as a simple house animal, I refer to them as my children and I will have the same care and affection towards your fur babies I am available 24/7. I can attend to your pets needs 7 days a week and I have a very flexible schedule I am always open to working around any schedule so please feel free to reach out. I care for pets in my clients home by making sure I am aware of what they are doing at all times to ensure their safety.
About: I LOVE dogs. I have always loves dogs and dogs have always loved me (not trying to toot my horn, lol). I have older kids in the house ages 14-19 who love dogs as much as I do. There will be no lack of attention given to your fur baby. I do work during the week. I have my mom who lives with us that is home everyday and my 19yr old daughter who is home from collage for the summer that is very excited to be my partner. I live in a single family home with a fenced in backyard. We have a 2yr old Goldendoodle who is great with other dogs and can keep you fur baby company.
“Brian was great! Super punctual and a true dog lover who was more than willing and able to handle some extra accommodations for our senior dog. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again!”
About: Whether you’re traveling for work or just need a helping hand, I provide trustworthy and loving dog sitting in a safe environment. With reliable communication, updates, and plenty of care, your pup will feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I work part-time from home, and my husband also works from home. We have 3 kids who are in school, and love animals as much as we do - so your pets are guaranteed lots of snuggles! We have a fenced-in yard with one indoor/outdoor cat, Molly. We offer lots of yard play time, and walks throughout the pet-friendly neighborhood. Molly is used to other animals being around, but can easily enjoy some time in our finished basement, should they have any issues getting along.
About: I love all animals. I think they are truly such gifts to the world. My experience ranges from puppies and kittens to more senior dogs. One of my regular clients has a dog that requires a little more TLC as he has thyroid and eye issues that require specific medication. I like to ensure all animals are well-loved, cared for, and have all of their needs met. I'm currently a freelancer that can work from anywhere, so I have tons of free time to ensure all pets are well-loved and cared for! I like to thoroughly discuss with my clients what their normal routine with their pets are. Are they allowed on the couch? How often do you go on walks? Dietary restrictions? How often are they fed and how much? Any medications I need to account for? Vet information for emergencies? Etc. Once I've taken all of that information into account, I'll apply all of it during my time with the pets and also supply them with all of the love and attention they could possibly need.
About: I have been caring for cats and dogs of all ages for the majority of my life, from young animals to seniors. I base my care on each animal's specific needs by listening to what you tell me at the meet and greet and, later, my own experience. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I foster and work in the cat room and the nursery with puppies and kittens. Through the shelter, I have taken several trainings to increase my skills in body language, enrichment, first interactions and more! I hope to continue to build my skills at the shelter. Through the shelter, my own pets and the pets I sit for, I have experience with giving medication--both pills and needles. While I try to keep a pet's routine, I even have a few tricks I've learned through the years to make medicating less stressful! My schedule is fairly flexible, but I do occasionally need to leave the pets/home for 6-8 hours. I'm always willing to work with my petsitting families to ensure each pup or cat is well taken care of! I follow your routine in your home to ensure the pup or cat feels as safe as possible. Animals miss their families when you're gone, and I try to make that time as easy as possible by keeping them on their schedule!

We loved having Michelle sit for Penny! The whole experience was completely seamless. Michelle followed Penny's normal walking routine perfectly, so Penny barely noticed we were gone. She is super responsive and wonderful with updates. We will absolutely be booking her again!
Sophie was wonderful with my pup!! She was kind, patient, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. What I appreciated most was her flexibility. She was willing to meet with me and my dog on short notice, which meant a lot!! She was friendly, reliable, and her communication was top tier. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker. I am rebooking her right now :)

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
