“Kim was an excellent sitter for our two cats. Reesie and Peesie took to her quickly and we were so appreciative to have the peace of mind while out of town to have someone around. Kim communicated often and sent the cutest pictures. She went above and beyond!”

About: I always take priority in trying to get tailored to any dog’s personality, 24/7 contact with the owner to make them more comfortable, and I make sure they have an accessible source of water. Even though I’m currently in college right now I am looking after my 2 cats and 2 dogs with not much to do all day. I usually take my two dogs on a walk in the early mornings after they have their breakfast and one in the afternoon I also do checks if they need to use the restroom by taking them out for about 10 minutes. With my cats I feed them in the morning, play with their favorite toys, and most of the time just hangout together either petting them and sometimes talking.
“It’s my first time using this app for my cat and i am satisfied. I am so glad that there’s this kind of apps, it gives me peace of mind when i am out and someone took care of my pet while i am away. Thanks samanta for loving my purbaby”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets beginning with household pets as a child. About ten years ago, I adopted my first pet of my own and have had one ever since. I regularly take care of neighbors’, friends’, and referred (and repeat) clients’ pets of a variety of ages, temperament, and health condition with love and joy. I love caring for animals and am confident in my ability to handle any challenges pet care may throw at me. I have been pet/housesitting part time for several years and have recently shifted to a more full-time basis. This has enabled me to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I do my very best to accommodate any feeding, walking, or medication routines that pets may be used to. I make myself available throughout the day for questions or updates, and if I cannot immediately respond, I do so as soon as I can.
About: I already love your furbabies, we just haven't met yet! ❤️❤️❤️ Many people call me a "Dog Whisperer," and while I don’t claim the title, animals respond to my calm, intuitive presence. I bring emotional attunement, patience, and loving structure to every visit. Whether your baby is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I honor their unique personality. Pet sitting is more than a side gig; it’s a healing, heart-centered exchange. I offer sacred companion care that gives your pet peace and you peace of mind. I'm a Certified Self-Love Coach with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize your pet’s care with presence and ease. I structure my day around the needs of the animals in my care. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or calm overnight stays, I make space for them to feel safe, seen, and loved. While sitting, I read, reflect, or study, but their comfort always comes first. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where their routines, scents, and surroundings bring them calm. I ask detailed questions ahead of time (walk schedule, feeding preferences, medication, etc.) and follow your instructions to the letter. My care style is clean, respectful, and rooted in trust. I adapt to each animal's rhythm and always check in if something feels off. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care I give to your pet.
About: From a young age, I've engaged myself in the world of animal companionship, taking on the responsibility of caring for dogs and cats within my family and neighborhood as well as my own. In present time, I have transitioned into the role of an ABCDT Certified dog trainer, dog walker and pet sitter channelling my love and passion for animals. I’m working part time and have plenty of time for your pups and cats! My schedule on Saturdays I am available from 8am to 8pm, while my weekday hours are 7am-2pm for now. Safety is very important to me and I make sure to take the proper procedures to make sure your pets are safe. I make sure pets under my care are always supervised, and avoid any hazardous areas and always aware of my surroundings during walks. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a loving and secure environment that promotes the overall well-being of the pets entrusted to my care and I hope to provide that security with my pet CPR certification as well.
About: I will treat your puppy with a lot of love and respect, I can your step by step instructions on how to care for your furries. I am loving, caring, fun and hygienic. I also offer my grooming service with relaxing pet messages. I'm sure that if you trust me with your furry, he'll want to come back and be a part of our home and daily activities. My experience in the care of furries is 10 years in which I have learned to love them because I know that the furries are guardians of the human heart. Their purpose is to give joy and love to those who receive them and make them a part of their family. My schedule is flexible from Monday to Sunday. At the moment I'm at home all week and willing to take care of and have fun with your furry. Plenty of places to go out for walks with our family and plenty of snuggles to receive from our kiddos. I have an apartment with an exclusive area for pets, where they can play and have exercise. I don't currently have pets so my attention will be on your furry.
“Brandi is awesome! She took care of Rocky while we were moving. I had to extend his stay a few times because of the move and she was so accommodating. Will definitely book again!”
About: I am currently a PE Teacher and work full-time during the week. I am also a marathon, triathlon, and ironman competitor. I have a large dane/lab mix who loves to run with me, but I am now offering dog walking/running services to keep myself and your medium to large dog in shape. I’m available anytime during the weekend. I will feed your dog based on a feeding schedule and provide fresh water during and after each run / walk, allowing proper rest time when needed. Just let me know what you prefer and I can set the proper pace for your dog. I am a lover of all sizes of dogs, but medium and large size breeds that require loads of exercise are my specialty. We can run 1-5 miles or more. Just let me know how much energy expending exercise you are comfortable with. I can run with up to two dogs at one time, or all alone -whatever you prefer. Many of people are not sure what to do with my deafness, but I can lip read pretty well and able to communicate in different ways such as texting, writing, lip reading while talking, etc. Never have an issue with my deafness.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I don’t just see this a job, I see this as an amazing opportunity to create long lasting relationships with my clients and their pets. I love animals unconditionally and It just genuinely makes me so happy to take care of them. plus I get a good excuse to get out of my house! ;) All hours except for occasional Tuesday's at 2:30-3:30. This may vary depending on plans, appointments, etc. I will keep in touch don’t be afraid to reach out! I care for pets explicitly how the owner instructs me to. I will always put in my best effort to win your pets trust and make them feel safe in my company.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was smaller, taking care of family and friends pets. They relied on me to walk, feed, take care of and spend the night for sometimes weeks! I myself have had a puppy and a senior dog and am good with both! I am on summer vacation and work a part time job so that gives me a lot of free time to care for your pets! In my home my dogs are walked and feed daily, loved, and comfortable. In clients homes if they leave a routine that they have with their dog it is important for me to stick to it! I love how dogs have their own quirks and routines.
About: I’ve rescued, fostered, and housed cats and dogs throughout my life. Ages from 10 weeks to 14 years. Sizes ranging from kittens to golden retrievers. I currently am working part time and available all day on the weekends. I am available to drop in or take your pets whenever needed. I have a house with a gate in the front and back yard. I also have a senior cat who loves visitors of any species.
