About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
“Diana was AMAZING. She saw our sick cat on very last minute notice, worked so hard to get her meds in (even though my cat can be resistant), made sure my kitty was super comfortable, sent us ABUNDANT photos, put out a whole array of different foods from different places in our apartment as we were trying to get her to eat, etc. the list goes on. We were so incredibly worried about our kitty and Diana put us at ease with her care. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was also just so kind, patient, generous, and communicative the whole way!”

“Sam was great and easy to work with, and did everything as asked. They took plenty of pictures and I felt assured that my leopard gecko was well taken care of. Thank you!”

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. Grew up with dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra exercise and attention, or a senior pet who benefits from a slower pace and gentle care. Currently, I have a pet tabby cat named Kobe for the last 3.5 years. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I understand certain details of each personality as long as it's communicated. Either way, I can adapt. A Few Extras: If any of these apply, I can support. Experience administering oral medications Comfortable with multiple pets Flexible schedule Secure fenced yard Daily photo and video updates Comfortable with special diets and feeding schedules Pet care is a part-time opportunity that fits well into my weekly routine and allows me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. As a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of reliable and attentive care. My schedule is especially flexible during the summer, with good availability on Wednesdays and most weekends. I enjoy building connections with pets and providing them with companionship, comfort, and consistent care while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow each owner's instructions carefully to maintain their pet's routine and comfort. Whether in my home or a client's home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and positive interactions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and regular updates so pet parents can feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: I started taking care of neighborhood pets in elementary school. From puppies, dogs, cats, fish, or birds, all the neighbors counted on me to care for their pets. Growing up my family always had pets (dogs, fish, turtles, frogs, and a Guinea pig) I love spending time caring for all creatures. I’m currently an online student working on expanding my design portfolio. I have a lot of flexibility with scheduling and always respond in a timely manner Whenever I’m in your space to check in on animals or take them on walks I will follow any rules you’ve set. I require a meet and greet before first time clients to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, which has shaped my understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve always been involved in caring for my own family pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them consistent attention. Beyond that, I’ve pet sat overnight and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, family, and others. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and feel comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to help with last-minute needs. I’d love the chance to spend time with and care for your pets! When taking care of pets I like to keep things consistent with their usual routine by making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get regular walks, and plenty of attention and love. I aim to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
“Li is a terrific cat sitter! I felt confident having her cat sit after meeting her. She made friends with my cat Rosie right away, talking to her, playing with her, and understanding Rosie’s every need. I loved getting daily photos and videos of Rosie while I was away. I do think Rosie misses her now that I’m home!”

“Ariana took great care of my senior dog Chester, who has some special health issues. She is very caring, thoughtful, and a good communicator. I would not hesitate to have Ariana care for Chester again!”

I am happy to care for your pets and your home, if you need someone to take in mail or water your plants. Safety is a priority, so I am attentive to any concerns you have for your house or pets.
“Son is an excellent choice if you need someone to watch your dog. Not only does he go above and beyond with care, my dog came back in better shape and with better leash manners because of him. He knows exactly what he’s doing when caring for big and small dogs and treats them like his own. I will Definitely use his services if I were to go out of town again!”

This was our first time using Sara when our usual sitter was unavailable and she was great! She was very attentive during the initial meeting and it's very assuring to have a vet tech as our sitter as our cat gets older. She took fantastic care of our cat, going above and beyond! She sent lots of photos as well.

This is our 4th time booking Sam for our grumpy old scaredy cat Gus. Sam is very attentive and she was also able to administer oral pain medication after Gus’s dental surgery. She sends pictures after every visit and a little note. She is the best, will continue to book!

This was my third time booking with Yifei, and she has been fantastic every time. She is very responsible, responsive, and truly cares about Bonbon. I received lots of photos and updates during each visit, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Bonbon clearly likes her and was perfectly happy when I returned home. I highly recommend Yifei and will definitely book with her again.

Quynh was absolutely wonderful with my pets! She is attentive, caring, and genuinely treats them as if they were her own. She followed all of my instructions carefully and made sure my pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she paid close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. I truly appreciated her reliability, professionalism, and the love she showed my pets. Knowing they were in such capable and compassionate hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with Quynh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my furry family members! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve had Sora take care of my senior cat multiple times already while Im away and feel confident that I’m leaving my cat in good hands. My cat needs to be given several medications and Sora is able to handle that with no issues. She also updates me regularly. Will definitely rebook in the future.
Elsa continues to take such good care of my cats Ricky & Lucy. She uses good judgment, anticipating issues and problems. This last time, as the electricity had been off in the area, Elsa anticipated that the water fountain may not work, and left a bowl of additional water for Ricky & Lucy. I love the daily pictures with her engaging with both cats. They don’t even miss me!
