About: I have worked with animals as an animal health technician for 43 years. I have had the joy of having dogs and cats in my home all my life. I am currently caring for my grandchildren Tuesday through Thursday and will be available most other days of the week to care for your pets. I’m available to cuddle, walk, feed, medicate, take care of the basic needs of your pets in your home and stay overnight in some cases.
“OMG! Alejandra did such a good job. The dogs loved her. She was responsive and sent updates and photos each day, which set my mind at ease. I will absolutely use her again and will definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting. Thank you Alejandra”

About: I have over 10 years of pet and house sitting. I have the skills needed for basic care of your pet as well as senior pets and pets with special needs. I will be watering any plants, picking up mail, and light cleaning. I’m flexible with each client based on individual needs. I’m working part-time and can be flexible to ensure your pet/home is getting the care needed while you are away. My availability is open during this holiday season. I follow any directions provided to ensure your pet/home will be safe and trusted while in my care. The environment must be clean before services are provided.
“Jade took wonderful care of our cats, dogs, and crested gecko while we were out of town for a week. She was very responsive to messages and sent updates throughout the home sitting. Although our dogs are not the easiest, she handled them super well. She also followed all my detailed instructions. We came home to happy animals and a clean home. We'd definitely have Jade sit for us again!!”

“Sophia was a lifesaver. She was able to care for Ginger last minute when my originally booked sitter disappeared. She stayed in my home for 6 nights so that Ginger would have all the love and care she needs. I am so grateful for Sophia. She is a trustworthy and responsible sitter. I would definitely book with her again, and Ginger agrees lol. Ginger was well taken care of and received plenty of cuddles and treats.”

About: Animals have always been my greatest passion and purpose. I’ve spent my entire life caring for, rehabilitating, and loving animals of all kinds — from energetic puppies and curious kittens to seniors and special-needs rescues who require patience, understanding, and expert care. I have extensive experience in animal rehabilitation, including administering medication, performing life-saving procedures, supporting post-surgery recovery, and managing both physical and behavioral issues. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals with conditions such as arthritis, allergies, anxiety, collapsing tracheas, and other age-related or chronic illnesses. My background has equipped me with strong knowledge in pet illness prevention, senior care, physical therapy, and behavioral management. I currently care for multiple rescue animals and understand that every pet has their own story, needs, and comfort level. I approach each one with compassion, respect, and a calm, confident energy that helps them feel secure and loved. I’m also experienced with administering oral and topical medications, wound care, specialized diets, and gentle rehabilitation exercises to help pets heal and thrive. In my community, I’ve earned the nickname “The Dog & Cat Whisperer” because of my natural ability to connect with even the most timid or strong-willed animals. I’m proud to say I’ve never had an unhappy client — I go above and beyond to ensure both pets and their people feel completely comfortable and cared for. You can trust that your beloved pets will be treated like family in my care. Their health, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m known for being professional, dependable, and exceptionally attentive — and I truly adore every animal I meet. If you have any questions, special requests, or unique needs for your pets, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to tailor my care to fit your pet’s personality and routine. Because to me, this isn’t just pet sitting — it’s heart work. ❤️🐾 Caring for animals IS my everyday life — it’s simply what I do and love. My days naturally revolve around feeding, walking, playtime, and providing care for my own pets, the rescues I look after and my clients. I maintain a structured schedule to ensure every animal gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need, whether it’s early morning feedings, medication routines, or evening cuddle time. Since I work primarily from home and plan my week around my pet clients, I’m able to give each animal plenty of one-on-one time and consistent care. My daily rhythm already includes everything from outdoor time and enrichment activities to grooming and wellness checks, so integrating additional clients into my routine feels seamless and natural. Simply put — animals are my routine, and their well-being shapes my days and weeks in the best possible way. Whether a pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I make it my mission to keep their environment calm, safe, and full of love. I follow each pet’s regular schedule as closely as possible — including feeding times, walks, medication routines, and favorite comfort habits — so they feel secure and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, cozy, and peaceful space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I keep things structured yet relaxed, ensuring every animal gets the balance of play, rest, and affection that suits their personality. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for my own. I take time to learn every pet’s individual needs and quirks — from shy cats who prefer quiet companionship to energetic pups who need extra playtime — and provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. Above all, I care for each animal as if they were my own. Their happiness, safety, and comfort always come first.
“Nikki is amazing! She has taken care of my pups a couple of times now and she is great with them. They get excited to see her and I know they are in great hands while I'm out of town. Nikki is great at keeping you updated with how the stay is going and sends sweet pictures of your pups.”

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for m. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

“Shannon filled in at the last minute and did a wonderful job. My huskies are full of energy and she managed them beautifully. I really appreciate her flexibility and willingness to take on my dogs without a prior introduction. I will be booking her again, for sure!!”

Whether it’s dog sitting, walking, or basic training, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every pet I meet.

“Sumaira took great care of our pup; she was happy and healthy when we got home. She even shared photos with us of our girl on her walks and enjoying spending time with Sumaira at home. The house was neat as a pin. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”
