“My cat has separation anxiety and I needed someone to housesit and stay overnight. Evelyn took amazing care of my car and treated him like he was her own. She sent daily pictures of snuggles and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands while I was away!”


“Alanna was wonderful with my 11-week old puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me informed on how he was doing. Also, she worked on reinforcing his trainer which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again with Alanna!”


“Caroline is absolutely wonderful! She was prompt, showing up right on time. She was very patient with our dog, who is shy and slow to warmup to new people, and did all she could to make her feel comfortable. She kept us informed the entire time and sent photos and cute videos. We highly recommend her!”


“Kayley was great with our rescue pups. We got updates regularly and the dogs loved her. We are very glad to have found her and will be using her services again.”


“He immediately got along with all of our dogs, and they sat next to him, he was playing with dogs and didn't mind the size of our dogs either. Very well-mannered, thoughtful, and great dog sitter - We will definitely ask him again!”


“Hannah was wonderful! She delayed a trip departure to meet me and my pets and get the lay of my house. While I was gone, she clearly did a great job as the pets were calm and happy upon my return. She even dealt with a small ant infestation in my absence.”


“Bertie really enjoyed his time with Michael! Michael's flexible schedule allowed Bertie to have a full time companion which we greatly appreciated.”


About: I grew up in a big family where we raised five dogs together, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve helped care for everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, learning how to handle different needs, temperaments, and routines. I’m comfortable with basic training, giving medications, and making pets feel calm and safe in new environments. Now I have a cat of my own, which has taught me a whole new level of patience and understanding. I treat every pet like family and take pride in being reliable, communicative, and super tuned in to each animal’s personality. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part-time online as a student marketing director for about 15 hours a week. My schedule is super flexible, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I can be there when they need me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, like feeding schedules, favorite toys, or any quirks, and follow instructions closely. I keep a calm and clean environment, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you are away.

“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”


“We highly recommend Charlotte, who dog sat our anxious rescue. Charlotte was very communicative before and during the sitting. We appreciated the time accommodations as well, given our hectic work schedules. Grateful.”


“Ian was AMAZING with Cooper. Cooper can be a challenging pup, but C warmed up to Ian quickly and soon I got photos of them taking long walks, playing fetch and snuggling watching TV.”


“Thiri made fast friends with our senior pittie and also managed our scaredy-cat and kept an eye on the snake, too. We came home to a happy pup and a clean, well cared for home and yard. Thank you!”


“Alannah was fantastic! Our skiddish dog takes a long time to warm up to anyone, but Alannah was so patient and kind, agreeing to meet several time before our overnight so Hazel knew her well. She made sure she was loved, exercised and cared for. We even got picture updates. Would highly recommend her and will be using her for future overnights when we travel. Thank you.”


About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience Summary With over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for six cats, I bring deep compassion, responsibility, and attentiveness to every aspect of pet care. My household includes one cat with a medical condition requiring a specialized diet and asthma management, giving me the skills and sensitivity to handle pets with unique health needs. This experience has instilled a strong routine of monitoring subtle behavior changes and health signs—early detection is key, and I pride myself on being observant and proactive. In addition to feline care, I’ve provided dog sitting for family members for 5 years, adapting to different breeds, temperaments, and daily routines. Whether walking, playing, feeding, or managing medications, I ensure dogs are cared for with the same consistency and affection I give my own pets. ⸻ 🌟 Daily Responsibilities & Care Habits • Clean litter boxes daily to maintain a hygienic, odor-free environment. • Closely monitor behavior, appetite, and mood shifts for early signs of illness or stress. • Manage medication and special diets confidently, with reliable routines and documentation. • Provide engaged companionship, including playtime, brushing, and snuggles. • Capture joyful, candid moments—I love taking pet photos and often share them with owners to give peace of mind. I work weekdays from 9 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available for morning and evening visits—perfect for feeding, companionship, or check-ins before and after work. Weekends are more flexible, allowing for extended care, walks, or overnight stays as needed. I respect and follow each pet’s existing routine to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. • I ensure pets are fed on schedule, walked or played with, and given attention and affection—just like they would receive from their own family. • I maintain a tidy space, clean up after pets, and keep the environment safe and secure. • I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will immediately communicate with owners if something seems off.

About: I’ve trained puppies and have raised several dogs and cats over the years. Comfortable administering medications to animals and washing dogs if they get dirty I work remote Tuesday and Friday and am available to stay at your house during my working hours those days (and weekends) to watch your pet and take dogs on a walk during the day I will ensure doors and gates are properly closed/locked so your pet does not get out, I will check on them periodically, play with pets to keep them active, and nurture them

About: I've taken care of animals of almost every kind for most of my life, both professionally as a Veterinary Technician for 15+ years as well as personally with my own pets, which I've had all my life. I truly love animals and have dedicated my life to helping and caring for them and even plan on attending Vet School. I have fostered countless animals, both dogs and cats, as well as 35 bottle-fed kittens. I have experience with just about every kind of pet and even those that are senior or those with special requirements such as medications, special diets, and subcutaneous fluid and physical therapy. I have a great deal of experience with animal behavior and have worked with many difficult and even aggressive animals. I currently work only part-time, so I will have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to dedicate to caring for the most precious members of your family! I have done quite a bit of pet sitting work so I am very familiar with this experience. I am extremely respectful when I'm in my client's home and I remain conscious of the fact that it's your pet's home too and I'm respectful of their space as well. I strive to ensure that your pet continues to feel safe and cared for when I'm in their home. I perpetuate a quiet, calming presence which most animals respond to positively. I will do everything in my power to ensure your pet's wellbeing and happiness, while still accomplishing everything that has been asked of me by my client. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own!

“Xander did a great job caring for our dog Teo. Very extensive walks and super attentive; Teo clearly liked him! And he’s a very good communicator. We will definitely work with Xander again next time.”

“Kiansu was great and booking with her was a breeze! She was very prompt with arriving for the housesit and regular walks for my dog, who immediately took to her. She also provided plenty of pictures of them going on adventures around the neighborhood which were super reassuring that my dog was in good hands. She was also a very tidy guest which I appreciate. Strongly recommend Kiansu for your furry friends!”


“Tristan is wonderful! So kind and attentive to Maggie. Stayed extra to make sure she didn’t feel lonely til we got home. House was super tidy too. Highly recommend!”


“Debora and Jorge were great with our senior dog, Biscuit! They sent us regular updates and photos. They were also really detail oriented and made sure they fully understood our dog's needs. They were also great house guests. We'd be happy to book with them again!”
