About: I've grown up with multiple pets, mainly cats and dogs. I have such a love for them. I was a Veterinary Assistant for 20 years and am proficient in administering medications and subcutaneous fluids. I have provided pet sitting services for 30 years, in home stays and visits. I would love to care for your precious pets, including donkeys, cows, etc. I am available to care for your pets with drop in visits 7 days a week from 8 am -6 pm and overnights stays 7 days a week. I will care for your pets as you do. I don't mind silly requests as my own pets have their quirks! Yes, they would be allowed to snuggle with me in bed at night!

Charlayne was amazing! She took excellent care of my 3 while i was away for a week! She had a busy schedule during this time but still managed to prioritize the care of my pups! She sent photos with updates throughout my trip. I also came home to a clean house! It’s an amazing feeling not having to worry about my fur babies while on vacation and then to come home to peace is such a blessing! Thank you so much!

About: I’ve taken care of my chocolate lab along with the help of my parents, albeit we have had some issues just as every pet parent we still manage to get through everything and have a great time! It’s part time and my own hours so i can manage to make things work freely with me personally, that make things a lot easier for me as well considering I am tackling college! At my house we have a fence that keeps our dog in or we let him stay inside. It all depends on what the dog feels more comfortable with and I’m more than willing to help accommodate them.

Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!

Julie was superb! Communicated very well and sent tons of pictures. The pups seemed very happy and content. She even took out the trash and replaced some coffee pods, which certainly was above and beyond. We will certainly try to book her on our next vacation.

About: Hi! I’ve had over 10 years of experience caring for and working with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with basic training, administering lots of patience and love, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also helped foster pregnant female animals and cared for newborn litters, so I understand the extra attention, gentleness, and responsibility that some pets may need. Your pets will be treated like family in my care, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection to keep you at ease while you’re away! 🐾 I work from home so I am actively able to provide daily outside playtime and potty time during the day and some much needed sun bathes for the sun bathers. I am able to provide a good feed schedule as well treat times! It is a pleasure to be able to work from home and effectively care to the needs of each furbaby! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to ensure every pet receives personalized care, patience, and plenty of affection. I believe communication is extremely important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check ins for peace of mind. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, young, or senior, I strive to make them feel secure, loved, and at home in my care. 🐾

Just let me know what they’re used to, I’m here to keep their days feeling familiar and stress-free! When caring for pets in their own homes, I focus on keeping their routines as normal and comforting as possible.

From feeding and playtime to snuggles and quiet companionship, I treat your home with the same respect I give your pet — calm, clean, and peaceful. My goal is to make your time away feel seamless for them and worry-free for you.

I've used a number of sitters and Senaura was probably the best I've had. She was in constant communication with details, pictures and video. Two of my dogs got into a fight and she handled it perfectly. She will definitely be my first contact when I need someone from now on.

About: Hi. I'm a born caregiver and that includes pets. Until their passing recently, I was my housemates dog walker, caregiver, sitter and dog uncle since 2010. While they were her dogs she routinely joked she was jealous they were far more affectionate with me. :) They were fed regularly, walked, played with, I put proper meds in their food, and often they fall asleep next to me. I also was my friends first choice for dog sitting and even pet sit for a CEO and SVP. In this job, you're not doing this to get rich, you do this because you CARE for animals. Because I cannot have pets where I live at, this allows me to be around pets to enjoy their company as pets have a way of making me smile and enjoy life even a bit more. I will treat your pet as my own and send you lots of pics and updates so you know your furry family member is cared for like you would. I currently work as a video/film editor as well as animation and music production so doing this PT allows me to continue that dream while getting exercise and being around pets as I cannot really have them at my place. I listen to your directions and will treat your pet with the same care and love I would want with a pet if I had one. While others say one thing and do another, you really can trust that I'm honest, loving, caring. I can also help medicate if I'm placing meds inside their foods.
