About: I've taken care of pets for 18 years from lg to small, I love to care for and make sure pets well taken care of and given attention /care just as if the owner were home I work part-time so I'm only away a couple of hours, my flexible schedule, my time and attention will be available to take care of all your pets needs I will come to your home and give your pet one on one attention and follow your pets needs as per your instructions, if needed I will pick up your mail a, delivered packages and tidy up at no additional charge.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over two years and have built lasting relationships with clients who trust me to care for their pets again and again. I have a gentle, nurturing approach that helps animals feel calm and comfortable — whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or staying overnight. I have a sweet pit bull named Cooper, so I’m especially confident with big dogs and strong breeds. I also have experience administering medications and following detailed care routines. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I’m reliable, responsive, and I send regular photo updates so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away. Whether you need a dog walker or someone to care for your pets while you’re traveling, I’ve got you covered! I currently work part-time as a physical therapy aide and I’m in school for radiology technology, but pet care is still a major part of my weekly routine. I make time for drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight stays around my school and work schedule, and I always make sure I can fully commit to each pet I care for. Additionally, I am getting married in December of this year!💍🤍 Between my own dog, Cooper, and my loyal pet sitting clients, animals are a constant part of my life. I genuinely love being around them, and I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being—no matter how busy life gets. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel as safe and comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine. I follow all care instructions exactly — whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or just cuddle time on the couch. During drop-ins, I give pets quality attention, playtime, and any necessary clean-up (like water bowls or accidents). For overnight stays, I create a calm, loving environment so pets feel secure while their people are away. I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you’ll always know how things are going. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for the week while we were out of town. She not only took care of our dog but also kept our home clean and tidy. She is very responsive and willing to help out with any request. Would definitely book her again.”


“Cherish is wonderful. Kept me updated with photos while I was away. I used many sitters over the years and she is by far the BEST. Even my house was clean when I came home. Will certainly book with her again and highly recommend her. She loves your critters like they are hers.”


“Once again, very happy with Brodi's regular updates/pictures. Checked with us ahead the engagement and wrapped up with us at the end. House was left spotless! We will be sure to book with Brodi in the future.”

About: I've been pet sitting for friends and friends-of-friends since I was 22. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages as well as small animals (hamsters, bunnies, birds, etc). I love to spend a little extra time when pet sitting, whether it's just a stop in or overnight, so I can get to know every animal's quirks and personalities! I am completely capable of complex instructions/feeding routines; I just want your fur baby to be happy, healthy, and comfortable! I work at the university so most days I am flexible with my schedule before 9 and after 3, but I am able to pop out for a feeding or walk over lunch as well. Evenings are often completely open and available for overnights - my cat has an auto feeder in the case I do need to stay elsewhere overnight so I am able to do that if you'd like! I am happy to follow any instructions no matter how particular or complex! Every pet has their own quirks about how they like/need to be taken care of :) I am also sure to carefully introduce myself with each encounter as I know I am a new face (with cats especially) and will follow your pet's lead on how much they are interested in engaging. Overall, I'm just trying to be sure all the animals are comfortable while someone new is taking care of them!

Whether it's playing, walking, or providing extra care for senior pets, I make sure every pet I care for feels comfortable and loved. As a medical student with online classes, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pet.

About: Hello, I’m Arianna, a 23-year-old animal lover with a passion for pet care. I share my home with six pets: four cats and two dogs. As the holiday season approaches, I’m here to provide loving care for your furry companions when you need it most! I am currently available for pet sitting services at 7:30 AM or after 1:30 PM each day, as my morning serving job concludes at that time. As a full-time hairstylist, I schedule my appointments to ensure there are no conflicts with our agreed-upon times. Your pet’s care is my top priority! In my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of pets through the following methods: Routine and Environment: I establish a consistent daily routine that includes feeding, exercise, and playtime, ensuring pets feel secure and engaged in their environment.

About: As a high school student, I volunteered at the local human society as a part of my high school credit. When I was an adult, I was able to adopt my first dog, Blue 🩵. I had her for 7 years and she passed from a terminal illness. I currently care for my partner’s elder dog, Koa and red foot tortoise, Ruby. I have experienced with puppies and elders. If you dog needs As a PhD student at LSU, my summer schedule is flexible and open for pet care. Because most days are spent in front of a computer screen thinking, writing, and theorizing, spending time with your pets is the best way for me to decompress. My current routine includes going to the gym and watching too many dystopian shows to starve off the impending doom. So watching your pet will allow me to break up my current routine. I am a photographer, so don’t be surprised if you receive a few pro-level portraits of your pet along the way from time to time. My parents taught me always to leave a place better than I found it. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and familiar as possible. I understand that every pet and every parent has their own rhythm and preferences. I aim to honor that by being a supportive, trustworthy presence in your pet’s environment.

Tenay D.Star Sitter

“Tenay was absolutely amazing! She is knowledgeable and a TRUE lover of animals! It was love at first sight for my baby. He completely forgot that I was in the room...and I loved it!

April A.
“We selected April because of her kind and gentle personality she is a friend who we trust and know our pets are well taken care of and the fact she owned 2 Maltese herself and knew the breed made us even more at ease. We were so pleased with her communication, responsive, timeliness and her genuine affection for animals. We had her visit twice a day to feed and walk our dog. Love the pictures she sent, and the tracking of his feedings, picking up our mail and packages and making sure everything was nice and tidy on our return home Our dog seemed calm and happy when we returned home, which is a far cry from picking him up at a kennel and not having a voice because he barked so much there.”
