About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

“Palma was a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly to inquiries and is very prompt. She has a kind and sunny disposition and clearly loves animals. I felt so confident leaving our dog and home in her care. She sent us pics and updates which helped with our missing our pet. Everything in our home, and with our dog, was cared for with attention and detail. I would definitely use her again, and again!”


“Ethan was a fantastic sitter! He was responsive, absorbed everything during our initial visit, and managed our pups, chickens, and gardens without a hitch. Would book again!”


“Molly was fabulous while watching our 3 cats for a week in our home! She was very attentive to their quirky needs and individual personalities. She was very patient while waiting out their shy, adjustment period. She administered meds to 2 of the 3, twice daily, which sometimes isn’t a smooth process! Molly was efficient and resourceful when dealing with our “disappearing” older female who re-surfaced after Molly’s efforts! She followed our instructions and reached out very responsibly when she had questions or concerns. We returned to a perfectly clean, fresh smelling home and 3 very content felines! We very much appreciated her daily updates with pictures! Will definitely hire her again for our next trip! Sincerely, David and Nora”


“Great experience! Patrice was knowledgeable, communicative, and friendly to us and our animals. The house was very well taken care of and our pups happy. Will definitely book again. Highly recommended!”


“Catilyn was awesome! She took care of our 2 senior dogs, gave them meds, and managed things perfectly. She was easy to communicate with and very flexible. We have already rebooked her and are excited for her to come back.”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our 5 pets! They require some specialized care and she had no trouble doing everything we asked of her! She was also just super nice, left the house clean, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”


About: Hello my name is Sophia! I have been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, not just cats and dogs. I am a full time college student that loves animals.

In your home, I adapt to your pet's familiar surroundings, maintaining their routines, feeding schedules, and ensuring they receive the attention and love they need.

“I cannot thank Lucas enough. Far exceeded my expectations, we will 100% be a repeat customer. Two-week trip, our anxious dog loved Lucas and clearly felt safe amd cared for. Detailed updates, even cleaned up the house (and the sheets on the bed he used) before we returned! Highest recommendation”


“Alina is so kind, grounded and in tune with Chester . She was punctual, reliable , professional and I’d love to have her back.”


About: I have and do care for my dog and families dogs over long periods of time; including family friends dogs with medical needs at their own homes overnight I am able to check on animals before and after work shifts, and with ample advance i can arrange my work schedule to meet the needs of dogs routines and their owners I myself have my dog mostly kept indoors, and let outside on a leash within a large backyard. Family friends dogs were watched heavily and let out with supervision, even in large fenced in yards

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and treat every pet like my own. My first dog, Jack (a Bichon-Poodle), joined our family when I was six. Then came Lilly, a 60-pound mutt I helped train from a puppy. Later, I cared for a rescued kitten named Chef, who we bottle-fed from two days old. I lived with him for two years in Florida. While living in Europe, I was the primary caregiver for Foksi, a 35-pound rescue dog from Russia, for three years between Belgium and Italy. She was already house-trained and knew basic commands, but I continued her training from about a year old and handled all her daily care. If your dog is used to certain commands, just let me know — I’m happy to keep up their routine and reinforce training during walks or visits. I’m active, reliable, and love getting outside for long walks or playtime. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so your pet will get focused attention. Whether it’s puppy energy or senior care, I’m comfortable handling it and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I recently relocated back to the U.S. and am currently building my dog care business while searching for full-time remote work. In the meantime, I have open availability and can be flexible to meet your needs. As I grow my client base, I’ll work toward a consistent schedule—but for now, I’m new to the local market and fully available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I provide care only at the client’s home or during walks. I’ll follow any rules or routines you have in place to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and relaxed.

“Michaela was absolutely wonderful while we were away. She kept us up to date her entire stay, sent tons of pictures and videos, and even though she stayed here for 3 nights, it doesn't even look like she was here. Completely reliable and trustworthy and would hire her again over and over!”


“Sara took great care of our two labs! She communicated well throughout our trip including updates and pics. We will definitely request her for any other trips we plan.”


“Emily stayed with our girls for the weekend and they all had a great time. They aren’t the easiest pups being huskies with epilepsy and she was attentive and patient with them. I’m sure they will be excited to have her back soon! Thanks Emily!!”


About: I love all animals more than I can even grasp, and nothing is too big of an ask for them. I’m a larger man so if they need to be picked up to be brought outside or anything were I would have to go the extra mile for them, I gladly will. My schedule isn’t the hardest to work around so you let me know what works best for you and I’ll handle the rest!! I’m mainly free during the week but working weekends doesn’t scare me. Ill make sure your pet gets more then enough play time, nothing is worse then having energy you can’t do anything with! Long walks don’t bother me at all and if your pet has toys I’ll find there favorite one!

About: Because I’m here to take care of everybody else’s kids. My name is Amaya, I have been caring for all kinds of animals for about 10 years now. It all started when I moved in with my best friend in high school, her and her mother at that time had dogs, cats, rats, tortoises, a frog, etc. After graduating high school, she started working at an animal rescue near our house and quickly became a manager. Over the years I helped her care for all of the animals she brought home, and now that we no longer live together, I’ve found that I miss the excitement that caring for animals brings to life. I figured I could spend my extra time where it’s needed. I work full time and can watch pets over the weekend or go for walks before or after work. I work M-F my schedule varies for now I can care for pets in your home however is necessary, I am able to easily crate dogs or corral cats if needed. Very used to using gates and keeping doors shut if necessary as well

Marc V.
“Marc is a huge animal guy. He has taken care of both of my cats as well as my 60-pound golden retriever puppy for an extended period of time and has done an excellent job doing so. My dog is definitely a little crazy and energetic, however Marc knows exactly how to handle him with little to no instructions from me. He was willing to take my dog on long walks as well as play with him indoors and outdoors to tire him out. Not only is he great with the dog, but he also understands how to interact with the cats by giving them the attention they want on their terms. Marc is a great dog walker and pet sitter whom I will always be willing to trust to look after my fur babies.”
