“Sarah has yet again gone above and beyond for me and my pups. My flight home was cancelled and she had no issues going to make a last minute extra stop to check on my pups! I will continue to use Sarah anytime I need a sitter. She treats my animals like one of her own and I couldn’t ask for more!!”

“Kendra is AMAZING! She stepped in last minute when my regular sitter couldn’t do it and was great! She took the time to listen to exactly what I needed and executed perfectly! She kept me in the loop with everything and sent me pictures of my boy every day! Highly recommend her! She is definitely someone I will use again for sure if needed! Her love for animals is genuine and you can absolutely tell in the ways she cares for the ones she watches!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!”

About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a farm in PR. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I'm especially patient with shy, anxious, or senior pets and believe they deserve gentle, compassionate care. Whether it's keeping your pet active with walks and playtime or simply keeping them company and maintaining their routine, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're apart. I also speak fluent Spanish, some Portuguese I do work a full time job as an optician (15 years) but looking into going to college for animal pshycology and behavior. Im available mostly weekends right now and some weekdays. My happiest is when I'm surrounded with animals since I grew up in a farm in PR it's been my dream to create a sanctuary for all animals. Right now not offering services in my home. I share my home with my sweet dog, Alice, who has taught me a great deal about patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding different personalities. And my beautiful affectionate senior cat, ophilia, who can't get enough cuddles and treats ❤️

“We would love to thank Alexis & Shane for a stress-free vacation! We were hesitant to leave our fur babies for such a long time with skepticism since we have never left them for any period of time. After meeting with Alexis & Shane prior to our departure--- we felt at ease!! The communication, pictures, & videos reassured us that they were in very confident care. After returning home, it reconfirmed that we made the right decision. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED--WE WILL USE THEIR SERVICE AGAIN! :)”

Tammy J.

“Madison recently house/dog sat for me while I was out of the country. She had great initiative when it came to my dogs. One had gotten sick and she wasted no time in contacting the emergency contact, letting me know as well. As I was 6 hours ahead our schedules rarely lined up with one another. Madison was very flexible to my needs and was able to send me updates very early in her day. She was very responsive with my questions and did an amazing job!”

Andrew H.

“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”

Heather B.

“She was the best!! She was very communicative and I felt super safe leaving her with my cat! Sent lots of pictures, cleaned my cats area, even took my trash out lol! She also left the cutest note and just overall was amazing, definitely would book again💗”

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

“Rebooked Madeline for another week long pet sitting, but my plans changed at the last minute, and she was super flexible. Really appreciate her willingness to help me out. Madeline is great with my dogs and they love her!”

“Thank, CJ for staying at our apartment over the weekend and taking such good care of Clover! We appreciated the daily photos/videos and how you followed his schedule. We also appreciate how the apartment was clean and tidy when we arrived back home. Hopefully you can watch Clover again soon!”

About: I pet set for friends and family often. I have always had pets so I’m very comfortable with being able to care for pets with all different needs! I am in school with a more open schedule. I do have availability in the morning and afternoons! I love to spend some time with the pets I am watching so I plan around my schedule to ensure your pet gets some time to hang out and be with someone Any pet that is outside will be supervised and played with. Your pets health and safety is of the utmost importance to me and I will do whatever I can to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and safe.

“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time leaving the pups for a week (one is only 5 months old and full of energy). She took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us photos and videos of the pups with updates. She went above and beyond. Even gave my pup a bath before we got home. It’s not easy leaving your pups but we were at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were away. So grateful we found her! Highly recommend!! Would love to have her watch our pups again!”
