About: Hi! I’m 19 years old and I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have about 4 years of experience caring for dogs, including regular dog walking and daily care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very well into my routine. I study from Monday to Thursday and finish classes at 2 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets, go on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, walking schedules, and any special needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and safe, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with patience and respect, making sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable at all times.
“Tina was super friendly and great with our 2 dogs! She went above and beyond by even doing a meet and greet before booking. 10/10 - will definitely rebook .”
“AJ was very kind to accommodate a same day request. He is communicative, punctual, and took the time to write a thorough report card with lots of pictures. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup!”
About: I have been taking care of animals, mainly dogs, since I was 11 years old. I have always loved looking after pets, whether it be my family or friends, or the neighbor across the street and I will love taking care of yours as well. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily check on your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy whenever needed. My pets' daily routines are a part of my own daily routine. I will make sure your pets are taken care of as if they were my own. I will make sure that they are happy and cared for and exercised as needed.
“Cynthia was quick to respond and able to work us into her schedule with our last minute requests. She didn’t hesitate to ask any questions if she was unsure of something - which I appreciate greatly. She was kind and gentle with the boys during our meet & greet and she clearly took great care of them during their visits. My older dog takes time getting used to people and it was obvious she was respectful of that with him. I will happily be booking her again!”
“Absolutely amazing! Natalie did more than asked and followed instructions perfectly. She was very communitive while I was away for a whole week. She played with kitties and they loved her!! Recommend.”
“Karen and Jason treated our babies like they were their own. They made quick friends with even our shyest cat and really made us feel SO MUCH BETTER about being away. I cannot recommend Karen enough!!”
About: Ever since I was little I always had a dog and at least four cats. I have a lot of experience with animals of every kind. I am a part time server/bartender so I only really works night and am free during the day! I am super flexible as well so whatever you need during the day I can definitely accommodate! I am fully capable of doing whatever the client needs from me. I can stay the night or drop in multiple times throughout the day. I love the outdoors so I will also give your furry friend an amazing walk.

Tina went above and beyond to take care of our cat. She takes great photos and very detailed notes, making sure to address every single care instruction that we gave her. She was accommodating when I had to add a couple extra feeding instructions at the last minute, and responded to all messages promptly. Certainly made my gf and I less stressed, would 100% recommend.
Sophia has cat sat for me twice now, and she’s been wonderful both times. She is very communicative, attentive, and clearly cares a lot about the animals she watches. She took great care of my cats, followed their specific food needs carefully, and made sure to spend time playing with them as well. I always felt updated and reassured while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
She was amazing! Rachel D. took care of my three cats over the weekend and did an outstanding job. From the very beginning, she proved to be responsible, attentive, and very caring with them. She kept me constantly updated with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. I would also like to highlight her professionalism, as even when I made a mistake in some of the instructions, she handled the situation perfectly and made sure my cats were well taken care of at all times. On top of that, she even helped me by bringing in some Amazon packages that were left outside, which I really appreciated. She definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s clear that she truly cares about animals and their well-being. I would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommended!
