About: Hello!! My name is Chieh-Yin, but you can call me me Alvita:)) I’ve been a big animal lover since I was little. I adopted my first dog, Melon, from a shelter when I was in first grade, so I grew up with her and my senior cat, Kiki. I learned how to care for both and older cats from a young age, and it’s been such a special journey. Later on, I found my second cat, Brown Sugar, as a tiny three-month-old kitten, and I raised her from that sweet age. As Melon got older, I took her to the vet every week, gave her meds, and made sure she was comfy in her senior years. I also later took in another kitten, and just recently, we welcomed a new puppy, Ayla, when she was just two months old. So now, I’m loving every moment of raising a puppy, too! And a few years ago, I was also a foster for a guide dog, where I took classes to learn how to train and care for them. Every step of the way—whether it’s a puppy, kitten, senior dog, or cat—I just love giving them the care, comfort, and attention they need. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions:)) I’m currently staying at home. My time is pretty flexible. I can do daily visit or walking whenever your baby needs someone to take care of. I live in a house with a big fenced yard at the back. For day care, your baby will have plenty of space to play and run! For daily visits, I like to make sure all the babies have a nice and clean environment to rest first, then I would love to spend some time with them!!! Of course, will always keep you updated about your fur baby!!

About: I've taken care of pets for friends and relatives numerous times in the past. Now looking to do the same on here and get paid for what I'm good at. I used to have a cat of my own so they're my specialty, but I do good with dogs too. I'm always available, so hit me up whenever you need and we'll work out times and such. Going on vacation? Sudden family plans? I got you covered. I don't offer boarding since my relatives aren't cool with it, but I can easily come to you just fine. All I need to know is when to walk the dog, when to change litter for the cats, that sort of thing.

Yin did a great job with our puppy Brock while we were away - she came in a few days before hand to get to know him, and despite how rambunctious he can be at first, she was able to calm him down and he did very well with her. She was very on time, would always share updates, and was very kind. Would definitely use her in the future!

About: I have 20yrs of dog/cat sitting experience. Gives great belly rubs. Age of animal is not a problem, I can run 3 miles with your high energy puppy or just give belly rubs to your senior dog for 3 hours. I travel around the country working as an engineer. Since I travel so much it is hard to have a pet of my own. I do pet sitting so I get the joy of interacting with animals. When I am pet sitting I make sure the animal is enjoying their time with me by playing with them or giving them belly rubs.

About: My name is Tiaundra. I am a professional house manager/nanny and pet sitter. I have over 10 years of experience. I offer pet feeding/care, mail collection, plant care, trash & recycling services etc. I would absolutely love to care for your fur baby! I’m sure I’ll be adding more fur babies to the schedule shortly! I understand that it can be hard to trust someone with your lovely babies and property. That is why I am dedicated to providing high quality service that you can count on. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pet and home are in great hands. I look forward to hearing from you and helping keep your home and fur baby safe. Thank you for your time! I currently only work 4-6 hours a few days a week therefore I have ample time to care for and snuggle with all the fur babies. At this time I am only accepting pet sitting at the clients home. This may change in the near future however at the moment I do not offer pet sitting in my home.

About: I’ve had my own dog for about 7 years, so I’m very used to the day-to-day care dogs need like feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up, and giving them attention and comfort. I’ve also helped take care of friends’ dogs when they’ve gone away. I’m patient, gentle, and I pay attention to each dog’s personality so they feel safe and cared for. I genuinely love dogs so much and I love to spoil them! I treat every dog like I would want someone to treat mine. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I pretty much have a lot of free time. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment and I stick to their usual routine as much as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel calm and cared for.

I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. About 10 years ago, I welcomed my first pet into my home, an experience that changed my life and deepened my commitment to caring for animals with love and responsibility. Since then, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats who became true family members, including two Labrador siblings who have been with us for a decade. I currently live in the U.S. with my four cats — Ághata, Guapo, Totoi, and little Nala — the true owners of my home and heart. I strongly believe pets deserve respect, patience, and consistent care, and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. Why pets do well with me: Animal lover since childhood 10+ years of hands-on pet care Experience with dogs and multi-cat households Structured routines and attention to detail Scheduled feedings, daily wet food & treats Regular nail trims and cozy, calm environments Loving, respectful, and reliable care Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority 🐾 Please don't worry about schedules; I'll make it work.

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon- such an amazing person who went above and beyond to care for our silly boy Leo during a last minute need. I’m a veterinarian and I have a lot of specific needs, but she stepped in and cared for our boy just as her own—even better than I could have asked for. You would be lucky to have her looking after your pet! Thank you for everything, Shannon!!

I cannot say enough good things about Ari! This was my first time using a dog-walking app and having someone other than me care for my dogs, so I was definitely a little nervous. But from the very start, Ari made everything feel so easy and stress-free. I was home the first day to see how my dogs would respond, and they immediately took to her. The next four days, she handled everything on her own—and did it perfectly. She followed every instruction carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and paid close attention to the little details (like removing their harnesses afterward without being asked—something I really appreciated!). The daily updates with photos and notes were such a comfort while I was away. My dogs were clearly in great hands, and it showed. She even brought in a package from my mail lady for me while I was gone—above and beyond in every way. Ari is a literal sweetheart, professional, reliable, and just amazing with my 2 dogs. I’ve 100% found my person—no need to look elsewhere. I’ll definitely be booking her again and again!
