Arianna took great care of our elderly cat. She spent quality time with him each day, and sent us many photos that indicated that the cat was eating (sometimes an issue with him) and being cuddled and cared for. I highly recommend Arianna - we will certainly use her again to watch our guy!

About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, medication support, or simply lots of attention and companionship, I treat every dog like family. I strive to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind when they’re away. Since I was little I have always had a dog of my own who has always been well cared for! I am looking to help care for your animals, I am home all summer and looking to care for animals. I love going on walks with dogs, playing fetch with them or even keeping them company and feeding them. I can come to your house but also offer well trained dogs to spend time in my home as well if needed/wanted. I ask for clients to give/write clear detailed instructions for what they expect and want from me for there animal. I always pay attention to all the details asked of me while with the animal. I am always making sure the animal is safe.

Beatriz was the perfect day sitter for us. She followed our detailed directions to a T and we are very happy with the service that she provided to us. We are so grateful to have her as a resource and look forward to hiring her again for our future trips out of town! Our cat loved her and your pet will too!

About: Hello, My name is Maria! I will be going into my senior year of college, after I graduate I hope to continue my studies to become a veterinarian. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, play, and feed their pets while they were away on vacation or at work. Currently I am working at a local animal shelter where I have gained experience handling nervous and reactive dogs, as well as seniors and puppies. I have also been trained to administer medication. I love all dogs and will treat them as my own! During the school year I will only be available during certain hours so please send me a message to discuss what days/times you will be in need of my help! I will be respectful of your home and be inside only during the time of my services. I will leave everything as I found it.

About: I’ve had two amazing Labrador Retrievers and truly understand the bond between pets and their owners. I treat every dog in my care like part of the family and prioritize a safe, calm, and loving environment. 🐾 I specialize in weekend dog sitting, which allows me to focus on providing each dog with plenty of attention, structure, and care. I welcome multiple dogs from the same household and do not mix dogs from different families. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. My work schedule is Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM, so I’m primarily available to offer pet care over the weekends. I can provide evening and overnight care starting Friday evening through Sunday, ensuring your pets get all the attention, playtime, and love they deserve while you're away. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my apartment, where I have access to a fenced-in doggy play area. Additionally, my pet-friendly neighborhood and nearby park are perfect for daily walks and outdoor play. Whether your pet enjoys running around or relaxing, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love while in my care.

About: I have 8 years of experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large breed dogs. I’m very comfortable handling a wide range of needs, including active dogs that require structure and exercise. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked in education as an athletic director, which has strengthened my leadership, responsibility, and ability to stay calm and consistent in any situation. I bring that same level of care, organization, and reliability into pet care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve decided to pursue dog care full time starting this June because it’s truly what I enjoy most. I also have three dogs of my own—a Chihuahua/Husky mix (8), a Chow Chow/Husky mix (7), and a German Shepherd (6) so I understand day to day care, routines, and the importance of treating every dog like family. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is becoming a full-time focus in my daily routine. I’ve spent the past several years balancing my work in education while caring for dogs on the side, and I’ve always made time for it because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. Starting this June, I’ll be transitioning into pet care full time. My schedule will be built around providing consistent walks, drop-ins, and boarding care, with flexibility to meet each pet’s needs. I already care for my own three dogs daily, so my routine naturally revolves around feeding, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a structured and safe environment. Adding client pets into that routine is a natural extension of what I already do every day. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so pet parents can feel confident their dogs are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I primarily focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific instructions from the owner. My goal is to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment while providing consistent care, attention, and exercise. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos during each visit so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they’re away. I make sure every home is respected, secure, and left exactly as it was, while ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. If I do provide boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. Dogs would still follow a structured routine with supervision, exercise, rest, and care tailored to their needs. I aim to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel at home

About: I have had pets my entire life and could never live without them. I have three dogs and three cats and would love the opportunity to take care of your babies the way you wish you could while you are away.

Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over two years, caring for cats and dogs of all ages—including my own! I work from home, so your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I also have experience working in a veterinary emergency clinic, which taught me how to stay calm, observant, and compassionate in high-stress situations. Whether your pet needs playtime, meds, or just a cozy spot to nap, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved. 🐾 As someone who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can give pets consistent attention, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I love having animals around, they bring so much joy and comfort, caring for them doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving meds, or just being present for companionship, I’m always happy to adjust my day to meet a pet’s needs. 🐶🐱💻 Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, my priority is always to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines to help reduce stress while their humans are away. In a client’s home, I respect the space and follow any instructions carefully. In mine, pets have a calm, cozy environment where they’re treated like family. 🐾💖

Watanya is the best cat sitter I’ve ever seen. She was consistent and thoughtful with our sweet senior cat. She fed and refreshed her water daily. After every visit, she sent an update with photos and videos so we could rest assured knowing our girl was in good hands. She really went above and beyond! Ombre ADORES her and we will certainly be booking her again! If you have a chance to work with Watanya, you should take it
