“This was such a great process and caretaker. Ynes provided photos, came at the scheduled times, and did sweet things outside of the standard, such as asking for a jacket for my chihuahua because it was raining. Highly recommend.”

“Heather did a great job with my cat. She was nice enough to meet me and Ellie before the scheduled visits since I had never done this service before. I always had friends be able to help out. She followed instructions and even kept her litter box clean before I asked her to check it half way through my trip. She was on time, gave great updates and photos of my girl getting all the pets and love. I’d def recommend her and use her again anytime I’m in a bind!”

“We’re so happy we found Nathalie! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about leaving our kitten, but Nathalie made us feel so comfortable and reassured. She went above and beyond to take care of him, making sure he was fed, helping us clean his eyes, and giving him lots of care and attention. She also shared so many photos and videos with us, which meant a lot and made us feel connected to him while we were away. It was so sweet to see him doing well and know he was in such caring hands. We’re truly grateful to Nathalie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, thoughtful, and reliable to care for their pets. We would love to book with her again! :)”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been caring for them my entire life. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have regularly trusted me to walk, feed, and pamper their pets. I treat every dog like my own family, ensuring they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, but I am off every day by 5:00 PM to handle evening visits. I am completely open on weekends as those are my scheduled days off! I am not available for overnight stays since I have my own dog to look after. Instead, I specialize in safe, dependable dog walking and drop-in visits to give your pets the attention they need. :)

About: I’m Odeosa (“Oh-dos-ah”) - Part-time graduate student with ability to work from anywhere, and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your fur baby the love and care they deserve! I accept bookings for most weekdays and weekends - contact me and we can get your pet’s care set up. Use my code ODEOSE65864 to get $20 off your first booking 🐾 Having grown up with an elder dog, and now being a devoted cat mom, I’m naturally observant and detail-oriented: I take the time to learn each pet's individual quirks rather than treating every animal the same way, whether that's noticing early signs of stress, sticking to a specific routine, or knowing exactly which toy, treat or napping spot is their favorite. As I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, l diligently respect, pay attention to, and follow the instructions you provide. My goal is to ensure you can be at ease knowing your pet is being attended to and cared for. You can expect clear and regular status updates from me to keep you in the loop of how your pet is doing. I bring the same love and attention to every pet I sit for and would love to keep your fur baby happy and healthy whenever you’re away. CATS: Cat care goes beyond a quick feeding and a scoop of the litter box. Mental stimulation and individual attention, alongside maintained routines are vital to a cat’s sense of security and comfort, and I approach my care with this understanding. I always keep an eye on things like appetite, water intake, and litter box habits, since small changes there are often the first sign something's off. DOGS: I grew up around my now angel, Maya ❤️‍🩹🪽. Maya was older when we adopted her (11yrs old), and caring for her - feeding, walking, playing, and helping her through her senior years - taught me the importance of patience and gentleness in senior dog care. As a teenager, I also pet-sat for friends and neighbors over the summers, which gave me practice adapting to different dogs' routines and personalities. I’m a part-time graduate student and I currently work from home with the ability to work from anywhere where there’s WiFi! I’m super flexible because of this, so I can fit looking after you fur baby into my schedule quite easily. My work hours are usually between 10AM-4PM Mon-Fri and I have online classes Mondays and Thursdays from 5:30PM-8:15PM. During drop-ins and house sittings I’ll likely have my laptop with me to complete some work with regular breaks for playtime, walks, feedings, cuddles/pets, and any other necessary routine activities. :) Your dog will never be left unattended while we’re out. I pay close attention to the environment: while out with your dog, I’ll make sure to watch for any signs of distress, discomfort or anxiety. I’ll monitor interactions with other dogs closely, ensuring that things remain calm and friendly. When at home with your cat, I’ll make sure doors and windows are secure, giving them safe spaces to retreat to when they want to be left alone. At the onset of any abnormality or emergency, I will have your vet’s contact, emergency details and your contact at the ready and act swiftly and appropriately.

About: Hello, I have dedicated the past four years to training and caring for my own service dog, gaining hands-on experience in advanced obedience, emotional support, and psychiatric service dog (PSD) training. My expertise goes beyond basic pet care—I specialize in helping dogs become confident, well-mannered companions who provide meaningful support to their owners. I am currently building Peace Dogs, a program designed to empower individuals on their healing journey by guiding them in training their dogs as emotional support or psychiatric service dogs. Through this initiative, I work with dogs of all backgrounds, helping them develop the skills and temperament necessary to thrive in high-stimulation environments while maintaining a calm, supportive presence. What Sets Me Apart? ✔ Specialized Training – I have experience training emotional support and psychiatric service dogs, tailoring techniques to each dog’s personality and needs. ✔ Behavioral Expertise – Whether your dog is shy, excitable, or in need of structure, I adjust my approach to provide a safe and enriching experience. ✔ Premium, Personalized Care – I offer a high-touch, professional service that prioritizes your pet’s well-being, ensuring they receive top-tier care tailored to their routine. ✔ Balanced Socialization – My own trained service dog often accompanies me to sessions, providing a calm and structured socialization opportunity for dogs who would benefit from it. ✔ A Holistic Approach – I believe in the emotional and psychological well-being of both pets and their owners, ensuring each experience fosters growth and trust. With my expertise and commitment, I provide more than just pet sitting—I offer a tailored, enriching experience that helps your dog thrive. As a dedicated professional in canine care and training, I have the flexibility to provide consistent, high-quality attention to your pet. I work remotely and actively within my community, leading Peace Dogs—a specialized emotional support and psychiatric service dog school and community. My daily schedule is built around canine care, enrichment, and training, ensuring that your pet receives structured, attentive, and compassionate supervision. How My Schedule Benefits Your Dog: ✔ Consistent Availability – I have frequent availability throughout the week, making me an ideal choice for pet owners seeking a reliable, long-term care partner. ✔ Balanced Routine – With a schedule centered around training and care, your dog will enjoy a structured day filled with physical activity, mental stimulation, and relaxation. ✔ Priority Scheduling for Regular Clients – I am looking to build lasting relationships with discerning pet owners who want consistent, exceptional care for their dogs. By integrating your pet into my well-established routine, I ensure they experience a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment—one designed to support their well-being at the highest level. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort are my top priorities. I provide an exclusive, structured, and stress-free environment designed for discerning pet owners who expect only the best care. Premium Safety & Care Standards: ✔ Personalized Supervision – I provide individualized attention, ensuring your dog is never left unsupervised in unfamiliar settings. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a calm, structured atmosphere that promotes well-being. ✔ Tailored Home & Travel Safety – I follow your pet’s routines precisely, whether that means securing their space, using their preferred walking gear, or accommodating any special needs. I ensure safe and controlled outings, avoiding overstimulating environments unless requested. ✔ Handling & Training Expertise – With experience in training emotional support dogs and psychiatric service dogs (PSD), I understand the importance of reinforcing calm, confident behaviors. I specialize in working with dogs who require extra emotional support, structured guidance, and advanced handling techniques. ✔ Clean, Private, and Low-Stress Environment – Whether in my home or yours, I create a serene, distraction-free setting. My space is free from overwhelming noise, and I use natural calming aids like aromatherapy, soft music, and structured schedules to provide a sense of security. ✔ VIP-Level Health & Hygiene Protocols – I maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, ensuring fresh bedding, sanitized bowls, and premium grooming care for your dog. If your pet has special dietary needs or medication requirements, I manage them with precision and care. ✔ Your Dog, Your Rules – Every pet is unique, and I follow your instructions meticulously, from dietary guidelines to exercise preferences. Whether your dog requires a hands-off approach, a structured training routine, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to fit their lifestyle. Your beloved companion will be cared for with the same attention, love, and structured guidance as my own precious dog—always with your best interests in mind.

“I highly recommend Tommie & Jeffrey for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! They took amazing care of our cat, Penn, while we were away. We received daily updates with pictures and thoughtful messages, which made us feel so at ease knowing Penn was in good hands. They went above and beyond to ensure Penn was comfortable and happy, and we could tell they genuinely care for animals. Penn was clearly well-loved during our time away, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their wonderful care. We will definitely reach out to them again next time we need a sitter!”

About: My veterinary emergency experience, lifelong dog ownership, and nearly 10 years as a cat mom help me recognize warning signs, build trust, and provide attentive care. I run my own leadership and organizational development business, which gives me the flexibility to make my own schedule and easily build pet care into my day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter care, and plenty of attention. With my own cats, Ali and Ivan, I make sure they have climbing spaces, toys, enrichment, and lots of love so they can live their best lives. I also fully understand that cats are usually the true leaders of the household, so I respect their personalities, boundaries, and preferred way of doing things. I bring that same level of care, cleanliness, engagement, and attention to every pet I look after.

Bianca is an absolute lifesaver! As a nervous new puppy owner, I was anxious about finding the right sitter for my baby mini dachshund. Luckily, I found Bianca, and she has been incredible.

This is the second time I've booked Natalie, and the communications were very easy - just like last time. But this time I asked her to make sure our cat had taken her meds. She got it done with no problems. And when we got home, or cat had plenty of water and food and seemed to be less anxious than previous trips out of town .
