Christa took great care of my cat while I was gone! She was very attentive, followed instructions, and made sure my cat was happy and comfortable while I was gone. I got very detailed updates and lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away!

About: I currently have a 10 year old female yellow lab, 10 year old male outdoor cat, and a 3 year old guinea pig! I do weekly stays for a family in landfall with three doodles, and have lots of experience with all ages, breeds, and needs! I am experienced and comfortable with giving medications to all animals such as pills, oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, etc! I’m currently finishing up at CFCC this year, and own two online businesses. I am very reliable and flexible! I babysit only on Mondays, which leaves my week free. I will follow guidelines, routines, and schedules to ensure your pet feels at home and comfortable with me. I love sending check in photos so you can know what your fur baby is up to!

About: I grew up with cats and have always been a cat lover, so I understand their unique personalities and needs. I also love dog walking and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun. I'm very detail-oriented and take pride in following each pet's routine exactly as requested, whether that means feeding schedules, medications, or extra playtime and cuddles. With my open availability and dependable communication, I strive to provide loving, personalized care and give pet parents complete peace of mind while they're away. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule and open availability, so pet care is something I can easily make a priority in my day. Since I'm not currently in school, I'm able to accommodate a variety of schedules and spend quality time with the pets I care for. Whether it's feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, walks, or just keeping your pet company, I enjoy making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance for cats, potty breaks for dogs, fresh water, and any medications if needed. I also keep a close eye on cleanliness, making sure food and water areas are tidy and routines are followed exactly as requested. For cats, I provide calm, patient care based on their personality—whether they want attention, playtime, or just quiet company. I grew up with cats, so I understand their routines and how important consistency and cleanliness are. For dogs, I enjoy walks, playtime, and giving them the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and relaxed. Overall, I treat every pet like my own and aim to provide reliable, detail-oriented care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind while they’re away💗

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by creating a calm, structured, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality. With strong communication skills and a dependable, detailed-oriented approach, I keep owners always updated while ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I am available to house sitting any night of the week after 5pm due to my full time 9-5, Monday through Friday job schedule. I am not able to provide in home service or support due to having two dogs of my own and due to rental property rules.

About: I know you’ve heard the same story on here just with a different name attached to it. So I’ll save you the “I’ve been around animals my entire life speech”. If you entrust me with your animals, I will care for them as if they were my own. You’ll never have to question whether they’re being loved, well cared for, and thoroughly spoiled. I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and punctuality, so you’ll always know your pets are safe and happy. From consistent updates to dependable care, your animals will always be treated with the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve. They truly couldn’t be in better hands. I work a full time job but it is a split schedule so my availability is different than the standard fri-sun availability that comes with having a full time job. I provide attentive, in-home pet care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication support, litter box cleaning, and companionship, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, giving updates and plenty of love along the way.
