“Kristen was fantastic, as always! She does a great job of looking after my kitties and even gets my shy kitty to come out of her shell. She’s attentive and communicative and does a wonderful job!”


About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as reptiles like iguanas bearded dragons, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different animals and I’ve always wanted to be a vet growing up, but I decided to go into nursing and this is my one way to be able to help others and take care of animals the best I can. I have a very flexible job Monday through Friday and I do not work on weekends so I’m available most nights and weekends. I do require some notice but I am very flexible with even like a day or two notice ahead of time. Depending on if I come to you or you utilize my home, I have lots of toys I have crates for the animals. I have a backyard for the animals to run free and I have no problem doing the messy work and cleaning up poop when they need to go They will have lots of love and if you are OK with it, I also have older children that love animals just as much as I do so that means extra love to your fur babies

About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.

“Kayla did a great job. She kept the food and water bowls full, scooped the litter box, and cleaned up some "accidents". She sent pictures of my babies every day - when she could find them! Definitely will rebook with her when needed!”


About: Hi! Ive been working at kennels my entire childhood. I know exactly how to care for any of your furry loved ones and spoil the hell out of them! One thing I find very important is to send daily photo updates to the owner so they know their loved ones are being well taken care of. Taking good quality pictures of animals (with permission) and seeing the owners reaction is a passion of mine. I currently work these days at a dog kennel: Tuesday/Wednesday 6am-4pm On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I can stop 3x a day, once before, once after, and once later in the evening. Friday/Saturday 12pm-10pm On Friday and Saturdays I would only be able to visit the home 2x, once before work and once after. Monday/Thursdays/Sundays I can stop however many times upon the owners request. I have a safe home with a large yard for your furry friend to run and get their zoomies out! Everything in my home is put away and out of reach that could potentially harm your pet.

“Brilliant, Alicia made sure to update me on every visit and sent me pictures of my cat every time. When she noticed something odd, she immediately notified me about the issue; she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to properly care for their pets while they’re away.”

About: I've never owned a dog but I've always been around family dogs and have given basic dog care over the years. Including walking and dog sitting. I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs. My schedule is very flexible and I'm sure we could find a fit. I currently only offer in client home sitting. I will follow guidelines set by the pet parents in regards to walks and feeding times, etc.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a kid. Trainer dogs, walked and played with and basically been a doggy baby sitter. Home full time with a kennel of our own, my availability is very good. I can be flexible to meet your needs! Overnights or weekends are fine! We have a fenced yard and 37 acres for leashed walks and room to roam. We are set up for dogs in the house as well as a kennel area for any dogs that need their own space!

About: I’ve had dogs for 22 years, experience in knowing pet behavior, safety, and pet care. Know your pets are in safe, predictable hands with me! I work full time from home- so I can make daily/weekend trips as necessary. Whatever time is best for your pet- I can accommodate it. The care and safety of your pets is top priority- and I take a family member’s safety and care very seriously. Like my own pets.

“Linda was great to work with, she was easy to get in touch with and she even sent us some pictures of our cats while we were away! I also appreciated the fact that we were able to meet her before our trip to go over a few things together. She also let us know we were low on litter before we arrived back home. Very happy we chose her to watch our cats, would use her again for future trips :)”


About: Animals are my life. I have two fur babies of my own. I love spending time with them. I’ve had pets all my life. Pets make a house a home. When you feed them the best things, give them good medical care, tell them daily that they are loved, the love they give you back to you is priceless. I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure the pet is HAPPY when under my watch. Comfort is important when being away from your family. Flexible schedule allows me to have maximum flexibility. Respect your care plan for your pet. Communication to comfort owners who are away from their pets for extended periods. Can request check ins by phone facetime, email or text. Let me know ahead of time if need.

Any restrictions let me know. My dog favorite thing right now is dried herring fish and dole biscuits. She also like beef booties filled with pumpkin and sweet potato. Daily supplements. She has regular grooming once a month. I have more toys than can count. Her favorite toys are balls. The yard is fenced in and she has multiple beds throughout the house but also we allow her in our bed. We have doggie wipes and get a good brushing with coconut oil before bed.

About: I’ve been helping take care of pets ever since I was young. I have a dog and cat of my own that are like my children so I know just how much they mean and the responsibility that comes with them. I’m originally from Morgantown, WV, but I attend school at PennWest Edinboro. During my summers in WV, I work at a family owned dog kennel and daycare. In addition to that I have helped family and friends with their pets while they have been on vacation, work trips, etc. Both of these have given me lots of experience with pets and understanding that they are all unique in their own way. I’ll always treat them like my own! I’m a full-time student, but my schedule is very flexible given 4 out of 5 of my classes are able to be done online. I have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-3:15pm. I also help assistant coach the women’s club basketball team which practices Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-8pm.

I am searching for consistent employment at this time, so my schedule is open to you and your pet's needs! I am willing to work around your routine! * Due to the cost of gas prices going up, meet and greets are an additional $10 for my time and gas. Payment is due at the meet and greet. *For those wanting to hand deliver keys in person (not given at meet and greet or hidden upon arrival) any additional trips to pick up or return keys in person will also be an additional $10 per trip to accommodate for time and gas. I have worked in an animal shelter as a kennel technician, so I'm comfortable with all different types of animal temperaments and behaviors. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable!

Monica C.
“Monica and I bonded over a cat with special needs--a daily responsibility, which Monica embraced with gusto. Meantime, she was not just accommodating but encouraging her other cats' individual personalities. In other words, she gets two very important things. First, the key to good critter health and happiness lies in the everyday details, and she is dedicated to fulfilling them every single time. Second, enrichment is everything--and also most of the fun for all involved.”
