“Highly recommend this sitter! Elizabeth was communicative and friendly. My kitty loved her. Made me feel much better about being away from him. Thanks again!”
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
“Grace cared for my cat while I was away. I had a concern about engagement during visits, and once I mentioned it to her, she addressed it right away. I appreciated her responsiveness and willingness to adjust to Tay Tay’s needs.”
About: Hi! I work from home and I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities! I have had dogs my whole life ranging from a mini dachshund to a great dane. With my schedule I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time. I have a puppy who loves playing with other dogs and he seems to help make pets feel more comfortable while I'm boarding them! I work from home so I am able to fit in pet care easily! I already have 3 dogs and a big backyard so pet sitting does not change the daily routine much for me. I have a high privacy fence for the backyard to ensure all dogs stay securely in the yard during potty breaks. My home is already puppy proofed for both large and small dogs to accommodate my own pets.
About: I’ve had all sorts of dogs from Golden Doodles to English Bulldogs, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, etc. I can handle any size dog. I’ve taken care of older dogs who aren’t able to get around that well. Currently looking for pet sitting at any time. I’m pretty free all day. Trying to do this until I can land a job soon, then continue doing this on the side. I do have a fenced in yard here at my house with a Vizsla named Eli. He’s a really good boy and listens to all my commands.
About: Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family, and I care for every tail, paw, and whisker like my own. I’m Lauren, a Star Sitter with a background as a veterinary receptionist, years of professional pet care, and the hands-on experience of training my own service dog. I’m skilled in administering medications (oral and injectable), feeding special diets, and supporting pets with senior or medical needs. Whether it’s overnight stays with plenty of visits throughout the day, drop-ins, or long walks, I keep your pets safe, happy, and stress-free—complete with plenty of updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I have a well-trained service dog, so I’m already in a steady rhythm of early walks, enrichment activities, and regular care. My schedule is flexible, which means I can plan my day around giving your pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, keep things familiar and stress-free, and make sure pets always have fresh water, the right meals, and plenty of love. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and happy.
“Dawn did a great job with my 2 cats. I appreciated her attention to detail, and she took the extra effort to help do some cleaning and take my trash out. She was also careful to ask questions and notify me about some of my cat’s behavior. I would definitely book her services again.”
“All I have to say is if you need a pet sitter for you cats or dogs or both and you want peace of mind while gone Mackenzie is who you should book. She was amazing and kept us in formed multiple times throughout the day giving updates and sending pictures. She even administered medicine to two of our cats multiple times a day. She was absolutely phenomenal and we will definitely be using her from now on when we go out of town. We HIGHLY recommended her to care for your fur babies if want someone who would care for them the same way you would !”
About: Lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom. I have experience with little dogs, big dogs, puppies and kittens, and administering medication. I like to get to know your pet's personality and all their little quirks. I am very detail oriented and like to stay organized. I am currently a full-time graduate speech-language pathology student, so I am only working part-time. Weekends (Fri-Sun) work best for me. I am also available for early mornings or late nights on most weekdays. My main goal is to make your pet feel safe and treat them with love like my own pets. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any other special needs/requests. Regular updates and photos can be provided to keep you feeling comfortable and connected.
“Jarad did a great job taking care of our two cats. We asked for daily drop-ins to feed them and scoop the litterbox. He is very mature, friendly, and reliable. While we didn't ask for daily pictures, he sent one anyway which was kind. We had to ask him to go above cat sitting and to bring in our mail as the USPS was not holding it as we requested. He kindly helped us out with that too. He provided A+ service and care and we are very pleased.”
