About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for dogs and cats and the care I put into making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and routines, so they get personalized attention and care. I also keep you updated with daily check-ins, photos, and updates, so you’ll always know your furry family member is in good hands. My priority is to give pets the same love and care they’d get from you! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I make sure every pet has a consistent, comforting routine while their owners are away. I also prioritize flexibility in my week, so I can accommodate last-minute requests or adjust to each pet’s unique schedule. Caring for pets is more than a job—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day!” I provide personalized care for pets in their own homes, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow the routines set by their owners, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions like administering medication or specific dietary needs. While in a client’s home, I also make sure to maintain a clean and organized space, respecting their property and ensuring everything is just as they left it. My goal is to make pets feel loved and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in great hands!”


“Smokie is so happy after his time with Ms. Nianna. She spoiled him with multiple walks and attention. I dont know how we will measure up :-). Will definitely work with her again”


“Casey took wonderful care of our pup while we were gone. So many great photos and videos to let us know how he was doing. He seemed to take to her right away and not hide away or refuse to eat. So happy to recommend Casey for pet and house sitting.”


“Imani stayed at our house for a week to watch our 2 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She was great with the animals and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. This was the first time we left our animals for an extended period of time but Imani was very considerate and went out of her way to make sure the dogs felt safe and comfortable, especially during 4th of July fireworks. We will definitely be using Imani again when we go out of town! Thank you!”

About: Hello, My name is Leilani and As an animal lover, I find pet sitting to be a rewarding and enjoyable job. It allows me to spend time with furry friends and provide them with the care and attention they need when their owners are away. In my personal experience, I have had the pleasure of caring for animals for several years. During that time, I learned how to provide them with proper nutrition, and exercise. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also taken care many dogs and other animals on multiple occasions. This has given me the opportunity to gain experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, and has allowed me to expand my knowledge of animal care. Overall, pet sitting is a fulfilling and enjoyable job for those who love animals. It allows us to provide care and companionship to furry friends while giving their owners peace of mind knowing that their pets are in good hands. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I am available to house sit on weekends and weekdays, anytime after 12pm When a pet owner hires a pet sitter to care for their pet in the sitter's home, safety is often a top concern. As a responsible pet sitter i will take several measures to ensure that the pet is safe and secure during their stay. This may include providing a secure and comfortable environment for the pet, ensuring that the pet is supervised at all times, following any specific instructions provided by the owner, and having emergency plans in place in case of any unexpected situations. Communication between the pet sitter and pet owner is also essential to ensure that any concerns or issues are addressed promptly and effectively. By taking these steps, i can help provide peace of mind for pet owners and ensure that their pets are happy and healthy while in their care.

“Abby was amazing! I have a bit of a challenging pup and she handled him no problem. She was super communicative. I would definitely book Abby again and again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 3 years old because my grandfather ran a puppy farm and I took care of dogs for about 15 years of my life. I’m friendly will all types of dogs and even if one caused trouble, I would welcome it with open arms. Overall I have a special connection with dogs and have taken care of almost every breed of dog and are considered part of my family. I was taught how to perform CPR from my grandfather in case of emergencies and although it doesn’t happen often, I have plenty experience dealing with a dog that’s not responding. Dogs feel safe around me when they’ve gotten enough time to accept me as family and even with aggressive one, I can pacify them and help them keep calm.
