Rhianna took great care of our very shy, skittish cat. He usually hides when new people enter the apartment. She was able to find him each day and even sent me pictures! I’m happy with the care she gave our cat, Toast!

There are not enough kind words in the world to describe Audry's care of my babies. She even noticed when one wasnt feeling well, stayed in constant communication with me, and even took him to the vet. Audry is one in a thousand and I will definitely book with her again. She was excellent with giving pills, cuddles, loves, and kept my house clean. I cannot thank her enough for all she did while I was away.

Took care of my babies just like I asked. Received plenty of photos. One of my dogs is more difficult due to her medication schedule and her personality but Rachel did an amazing job with her. Will book again in the future.

About: I've cared for dogs all my life and have done pet sitting for multiple coworkers and family members over the years. I am comfortable with multiple dogs, large and small breeds, and high-drive breeds. I have knowledge in pet first aid and am comfortable with medication administration. I pride myself in making sure your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable! I follow detailed instructions on pet care and respect the home. Open to early walks and have good stamina for high-energy activities (like hiking, jogging, or long walks). Love doing basic grooming if your pet needs it (bath, brushing, detangling) with the exception of nail cutting. I am patient, caring, and friendly, and am comfortable with nervous/anxious pets. Provide frequent and daily pictures/updates of your pet. I am currently a full-time night shift nursing student with no other obligations. My schedule is open 24/7, weekdays and weekends (except Monday and Wednesday from 5-10:30 pm). I am open to early walks/sits and late nights as long as it's not a school night. I have a 70-pound Aussie/Pyrenees dog named Mochi and a short-haired tabby cat named Piper. I have a big open yard, a large 8-panel steel play pen, multiple leashes and positive reinforcement tools (clickers and treats), and enrichment toys for them. Mochi suffers from pancreatitis, so she gets a special diet low in fat and high in protein. I've nailed her diet and she's doing great!

About: Animals have always been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home where there were always dogs and cats around, caring for them wasn’t just a responsibility, it was part of daily life. Over the years, I have personally raised and cared for three dogs of my own, each with different personalities and needs, which taught me patience, structure, and how to connect with animals on an individual level. Most recently, I adopted another dog into the family, adding even more joy and playful to the house. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have experienced it all training, playtime, feeding routines, crate care, walks, and of course, lots of cuddles. Whether your pet is shy or social, active or relaxed, we understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have a partner who has been pet sitting for her friends and co-workers last 4 years. I work at shipyard, but my work is pretty flexible that I can check out our dogs or any other pet frequently to make sure they receive enough attention love and most importantly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where dogs can relax and be themselves. I have a fully fenced big yard for safe outdoor play, and I supervise all interactions to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to crate preferences and bedtime habits — so they feel right at home. I never use harsh corrections; instead, I rely on positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance. I also keep my home clean, pet-proofed, and free of anything unsafe. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, we make sure they always feel safe, respect. I will keep sending regular updates and pictures or videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since i was a baby! They have always been my bestfriend! I currently have 1 dog (a golden retriever) and 2 cats. And I’ve house sat for many many fiends for long periods of time. In my eyes i don’t see them as just animals but another member to the family. And that’s how i would treat your fur babies! You should feel comfortable leaving your fur babies in the hands of someone else when life becomes busy or you just need to get away. and i promise I will give your babies all the love and attention they deserve! I work weekdays but i get off early almost everyday with very flexible hours and I’m off every weekend. My work schedule is pretty flexible. I have loads of free time! I have a fenced in yards. My dog is an inside dog (the house belongs to her lol) i have 2 cats that wants to sit on everyone lap. My dog has full access to the house when I’m home and only the downstairs when I’m gone. The cats roam the house as they please but they love to be by my side more than anything! My dog spends so much time outside playing and gets a long walk every day!

Connor was AWESOME. He makes a wonderful impression when you meet him. You just know he’s someone to fully rely on. He went over and above for me and I couldn’t be happier with how he performed when I left my cats in his care.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with all sizes and breeds. I am active and punctual. Any care that is needed for a dog I can provide with 100%. Working with Animals has always been a dream. I can work during the week or weekends if need be. Any time after 10 a.m is functional for me. I live in an apartment, meaning walks, potty breaks and play time are essential to me. I try to limit time that dogs spend alone in the backyard by themselves. Socialize them with myself and build a bond with activities and even training I can do.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I have experience caring for a variety of animals and understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and a clean environment. I’m also attentive with shy pets, energetic puppies, and senior animals who may need extra patience and gentle care. My goal is to provide dependable care so both pets and their owners feel completely at ease. Caring for animals fits well into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with pets. I make sure my schedule allows time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets stay on their normal routine. I focus on giving them attention, exercise, and a safe environment so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I prioritize their routine, safety, and comfort. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, exercise, medication, and any special care they may need. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and regular check-ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their environment clean and calm so they can stay comfortable in a familiar space. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care that keeps pets happy and owners worry free.
