About: I have been dog and cat sitting for six years, and have had in home pets my whole life! I have experience with senior pets and am happy to help with any mobility needs. I am open to caring for puppies and kittens, but they must be potty trained. I work 8am-4pm and can take a lunch break to let pets out as needed! Happy to spend the night with a pet, or just pop for a bathroom break! I am not able to care for pets at my house at this time, however I am happy to spend the night somewhere else if need be (after being able to visit with the pet parents present). I am also happy to walk or play with pets to get them some exercise!

“Chanine was able to support a late minute request for a sitter, and even do a meet and greet in that short time. Brutus seemed well taken care of at the end of both days after the drop in visit.”

“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.”

I am currently not working so I will have all the time to care for your dogs any day! Weekdays or weekends I will be there for your pup! I will follow any directions you give me based on your dogs needs. I am very rule oriented so anything you have to do for your pup will be done by me!

About: I've taken care of many different dog breeds from small to big. I have worked with dogs from the puppy stage to a senior. I have experience with giving medication. I am always thorough with making sure your pet will have my undivided attention to have their needs met. I am an online college student so my schedule is open early mornings until about 6pm. I am available to walk or do drop in visits for your pet(s) any day except Wednesday and Thursday. I will always be vigilant with your pets.

About: Hi, I’m Julie—your dog’s new best friend! I’ve always had a soft spot for pups of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a quiet companion, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work part-time from home, so your dog will get lots of attention, snuggles, and care. Currently only working part time and have open availability - my work schedule is Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday 3-8 so anytime in between I can be available Open to taking dogs for walks and checking in. I just moved into my apartment and my dog is still adjusting to the new environment.

About: I started house sitting in high school for close family friends/neighbors of ours. The first family that trusted me had 2 birds, a turtle, 2 older cats, a dog, and 2 fish. Caring for the cats involved a good deal of specificity, especially with the timeliness of their routines. I also have walked and cared for numerous dogs through babysitting & nannying, whether it be overnight jobs or just for a few hours, and I understand the attention to detail it takes to make a pet and a pet parent feel happy and comfortable. My dog tore his ACL on the beach with me while I was in college, I carried him up and down my townhouse stairs for months. He also had allergies with a variety of treatments including soap that had to sit in a lather for 5-15 minutes every day (he did not like baths, especially when it was cold out), special diet, and pills. At times, I was giving him a few pills each morning. He was very smart, and adventurous enough to be a little mischievous. He knew when there was a pill in food, he could smell it, or have watched me prepare it differently. It got to the point that we had a position to get into, I would place a pill as far back on his tongue then have to hold his chin up. Sometimes he would pretend to swallow it, then go spit it elsewhere when he thought I wasn’t looking. He taught me to appreciate a dog’s individuality and sense of wit. I imagine pet personalities come in as wide a variety as humans, and I believe understanding, attentiveness, and playfulness are the standard for pet care. I work 8:30-5 (ish) 4 days per week, and I am happy to stop by before and after work and/or during lunch if reasonable, some days I get longer lunch breaks :) I am flexible on the weekends. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family. I do think routines and caretaking look different per pet and household, but however works best for pet parents and their pets, they can expect I will be engaged, responsible, loving, and kind to their fur babies. I do also have a fenced in backyard, and live with two dogs if that option is valued.

About: I have experience taking care of family pets and take great care of them. In the past, I have taken care of pets for friends, co-workers, and friends of friends while they were out of town, and kept them updated on everything. I have a part-time job, so I am flexible on my availability and am able to check in frequently. I will be available during weekdays and weekends. I can reliably take care pets by cleaning up after them, going on walks, feeding them, and being available assist with any issues when needed.

About: Growing up with and subsequently having my own pets, I understand the importance of having a trusted contact to call on when needed. My specialty lies with young, middle age and senior dogs. I love how each pup has their own personality and I do what I can to help them shine! Whether they are really active and need lots of attention or like to snuggle inside, I let them be themselves! I also have experience with cats and guinea pigs and am open to taking on more diverse pets. I am available for daily walks, overnights or day time activities for animals of all types! I am currently self-employed and make my own schedule, so I am able to fit in any kind of hours necessary! I am also available for overnights, extended stays and vacations. I am available to come to your own home to keep your pet(s) comfortable and safe within their spaces and routines. If extended overnight care is needed, we can explore the option of coming to my own home as well. I have a very large fenced in yard in a small, safe community.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the home since I was 2 years old. I’ve also walked multiple of my neighbors dogs. I now own one big Siberian husky! I am currently a college student with available nights and have a lot of free time! I can even stop by in between my college classes if needed I am flexible and have transportation as well! I treat any animal like my own. I have two cats and one dog and they come before my needs. I love and care for any animal.

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. I have spacious, fenced in backyard for dogs to run around safely, or a scratching post tree for cats to climb on, to sleep in and to sharpen their nails on. I want the best for your pet. I want to ensure that you have peace of mind while you’re away. I will take care of them as my own. Pretty flexible with any schedule request. When booking your pet will be with me at all time and never be left alone. Just would need some notice ahead of time to prepare to accommodate requests. I live with my 8 month old puppy and 3 month old cat. I let them roam free so pet friendly is a plus. If not I can crate them if necessary during your booking. We also have a dog pen and gates thoughout the house. Keeping a calm and safe comfortable loving environment is my top priority. Firstly I have all the yummy treats to share. 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.
