About: I love animals and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve also cared for other varieties of animals including birds, reptiles and rodents. I’m happy to feed your birds, reptiles or rodents too. I’m currently working part time so, I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your animals. I’m also happy to taxi them to doggy day care or the vet. House sitting also available. I treat animals like my own. If they’ll let want to play or lay, it’s fine with me. I adhere to your rules but try to spoil them too.


About: I treat every animal I take care of like they are mine. All of my animals are VERY spoiled and loved and get the best quality care I can offer. I love being outside (weather isn’t a issue I’ll walk dogs in the rain/snow!). I’ve taken care of puppies that needed help potty training all the way to old senior dogs that need special medication 3 times a day. I love all breeds! I believe there are no “bad breeds”. I will love on your dog the whole time I’m with them and treat them like they are mine. I know it’s hard for you to leave your animal, so especially during the 1st couple days I will spend extra time with them to make sure they are comfortable with me and not stressed about you leaving. I also love cats. I’ve taken care of kittens and having to bottle feed them to old cats with maintenance/special lifestyles. I believe cats need as much attention as dogs. I have owned horses for 20 years. I can also care for any and all equines. I’ve worked with unhandled horses to high end show horses. I don’t mind making up grain, cleaning stalls and weighing hay as needed. The only animal I will not watch are snakes. I will happily watch any critter you have! Just no snakes. If I’m being honest I’m absolutely terrified of them. Lol! It is second nature to me. Taking care of animals is just the norm. It is always a priority to me. I’m always thinking about them and how to make them happier. I work, but it is very flexible so I am able to let out for potty breaks and give meds as needed. I will follow your routine with your animals so it’s not strange for them with a new person. They will be treated as if they are my own personal pet. Lots of snuggles, pets, love and treats if allowed! Your house will be as clean as when you left it. I always strip the bed, start any laundry, take out trash, wipe down everything and make sure all dishes are done and put away if applicable.

About: I have 30 + years of experience caring for pets. I was a dog walker for high profile clients in Philadelphia and Chicago and beautiful standard mutts in San Francisco. I am available to walk dogs and do general pet care on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I don’t mind waking up at the crack of dawn or staying out after dark to care for pets or walk dogs. I follow pet owner instructions to a t. Meeting your pets needs and ensuring their safety is very important to me. I have owned many animals through my life and appreciate when my sitters have met my animals needs. This makes the pet owner and the pet feel comfortable and helps develop trust.

About: Hi, my name is Makara! I’m a responsible and dependable college student with three years of pet sitting experience and over a decade of caring for my own cat. I understand the level of trust and attention to detail required when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I’ve provided compassionate care for both dogs and cats, including feeding, administering medications, and following detailed care instructions—all while keeping open communication with owners to ensure peace of mind. My background in Girl Scouts, athletics, and academics has helped me develop strong time management, adaptability, and reliability, making me someone pet owners can count on to treat their animals with the same care and respect I give my own. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I hope to hear from you soon! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize reliability, structure, and attentiveness in everything I do. I build my schedule around the needs of each pet, allowing time for feeding, walks, play, and any special care instructions. Whether it’s a daily check-in or multiple visits throughout the week, I stay flexible and organized to ensure each pet receives consistent, loving attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely to ensure each pet’s routine is maintained. I create a calm, familiar environment by respecting their space and habits—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, administering medications, or engaging in their favorite activities. I also keep the home clean and secure, and maintain open communication with the client through updates and photos to provide peace of mind while they’re away.

About: 4yrs of vet assistance experience, comfortable if pets need medication/special needs. Current pet owner of spoiled kitty, looking to help others if they need it. My spoiled boy is demanding of being brushed daily. I clip his nails myself. I can recognize when not to try bathing a cat. My current boy will be traumatized if I try. But I could tell his brother would tolerate it. I can have other pets for sleep overs for cats only. I would keep them separate from my current spoiled boy as he needs to be an only child right now.

“Dallas is such a bright light to anyone and everyone she interacts with (four legged buddies included). People and animals alike gravitate towards her warmth and humility. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does. With that being said, you'll NEVER regret hiring Dallas, she will treat your fur babies with all the love and respect they deserve and then some.”


Emily M.
“I've known Emily for years and she's had more animals than I can count: horses, ducks, chickens, goats, sheep, snakes, dogs, you name it. So it's a no brainer that she definitely LOVES them. Emily has dog-sat my 6 year old border collie, Percy, multiple times and she's always done a terrific job. He's definitely not the easiest dog to deal with (his resource guarding is horrendous) and she's not only handled it well but actually helped make it better. Every time I was away, I got frequent updates and was always met with a very happy pup when I picked him up. Whenever I have canine related questions, I always text her for advice too! There's definitely no one better to entrust your pooch with.”


Bianca S.
“Best dog/house sitter ever. Bianca has a background working in a veterinary office and Max is in love with her. She sent pictures regularly and contacted us when there was an issue. She took him to the beach, on rides, and to her house to play with her Ruby (checking with us each time first). She went above and beyond, cleaning up dropped fruit, and the house was immaculate when we got home! HIGHLY recommend”
