About: I grew up with animals and have been volunteering at shelters since I was a child! I've been caring for my dog for 8 years and have done it all - administering medication, caring for her while she was sick, taking long walks, and giving her lots of love and attention. ❤️ I've watched friends' puppies, senior dogs, and cats. I work freelance so I'm flexible on weekdays during working hours. I can accommodate weekend hours with reasonable notice. Message me and we can work something out! I have a small senior dog who prefers other small dogs. We live in an apartment building with a dog park and plenty of green space.
“We’ve used Erin several times and will continue to do so. She is very communicative and attentive to our dog’s needs. She really helped us in a bind! Highly recommend!”
“Meg was a huge help checking on my sweet cat Birdie over the holiday weekend! She went above and beyond to make sure Birdie was taken care of—I couldn’t recommend Meg more 😁”
“July was great watching out cats for a week. She gave our pets lots of love and made sure they were well fed. We would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone else!”
About: My day job at the hospital I work at is to feed my patients, groom them, clean up their poop, take them on walks, etc. I can’t wait to treat your pet with the same level of care :) I have had pets throughout my childhood, and have always taken a very active role in their care. I love animals and I am heartbroken that I am not at a stage in my life where I can commit to my own pet, but I would love nothing more than to spend time with yours. Additionally, while I am new to this app and have not professionally pet sit before, I have pet sit for my neighbors and friends countless times throughout my life. I work 3 12 hour shift a week where I will not be able to care for a pet. However, since I can work any three days of the week, I can care for one pet with no work commitments for as long as 4 days. My schedule varies, but please reach out and I would be happy to plan something. I'm mostly just doing this because I want to hang out with animals and without committing to getting my own pet, as I will be starting grad school next year and will not have time to care for a pet once that happens. In other words, if I'm caring for your pet it's not because this is a job for me. It's because I really want to hang out with your pet I have every intention of spending all my time and effort on them.
“Thank You! I'm sure you're her friend for life now lol. It's a huge relief to know she's getting a break through my long work day. Also, thanks for letting Bastet in. I'm sure she made friends w you too 😊”

Adele P.
“Adele has babysat for my six year old pup Toby since he was a baby and he’s always sad to leave her place! We just booked Adele for a weeklong overnight boarding and she was FANTASTIC! Toby can be skittish around new people and Adele is so caring/nurturing and makes sure all his needs are met. It helps that he gets along well with Adele’s dog, who can make friends with anyone! I’d highly recommend booking a walk or overnight stay with Adele. She’s incredible! :)”

Collin E.
“I can’t recommend Collin enough! Not only is he passionate about caring for animals, but he’s also incredibly patient and understanding of their needs. My cat is pretty grumpy, and he’s wary around new people. He gets anxious easily, so I tend to not bring him around others for extended periods of time. I recently experienced long-term power outage from a hailstorm, and I let Collin watch the cat while I figured things out. I was pleasantly surprised to see how fond my cat became with Collin! It’s clear that Collin does a fantastic job in bonding with any pet he watches, and my cat has since always been happy to see him!”

Amanda V.
“I’ve known Amanda for over a year now and I can honestly say I have never met anyone who has cared for animals quite like her. Big or small dog she loves them all. She is actually taking care of my dog right now as I’m in New Jersey. I have never been away from my dog for more than a day and it hurts leaving him behind but I would trust no one else to make him happy and properly watch over him than Amanda V.”
