“Elizabeth helped to care for my 2 cats while I was away for almost 4 weeks. Elizabeth was responsible and spent a lot of time with my cats. One of my cats is very skittish but he warmed up to Elizabeth quickly. She followed my instructions and kept me updated on each of her visits. I came home knowingly cats were taken care of and they enjoyed her visit. She did a great job for me!”
About: Hi, I’m Jesus! I’m a proud dog dad to a lovable 6 year old 80 pound mixed breed, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your pet. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked with low energy seniors to energetic puppies and I approach each one with the same level of patience and understanding. Whether your animal needs a brisk walk, a little extra TLC, or a slow stroll, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy every time they’re in my care. I treat every animal as if they are my own! I’m available all day on Sunday and before/after work on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Perfect for pets who need regular walks, drop in visits, or extra attention during that time. I follow your pets routines closely - from feeding schedules to favorite walking routines - so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy to give playtime, walks, and any special care instructions you provide.

“Alexis is wonderful!!!! Trustworthy, friendly, and amazing with animals! Alexis watched my kitties when I was away in Europe for a week and I was completely at peace knowing she was watching my fur babies. She was thoughtful and mindful of what my cats needed and kept me updated with each visit with adorable photos! She also took wonderful care of my home and cleaned up the areas around the cat litter. Anyone would be lucky to have Alexis watch their animals. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Alexis 🤍”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with pets of all ages — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable with everything from playtime and walks to administering medications and keeping pets on their daily routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Once a pet is on my schedule, I make their care a top priority. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to showing up on time every time. My flexible schedule stays consistent week to week, which allows me to keep pets on a steady routine for walks, meals, and playtime. At my home, I have a large fenced-in backyard where dogs can run, play, and safely explore. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who love having new friends to keep them company. I always supervise outdoor time, ensure gates are secure, and keep fresh water available at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routines and respect their space, making sure your pet feels comfortable and stress-free. I take extra precautions to keep doors and gates closed, maintain a clean environment, and communicate with you regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 10 and love taking care of them. I’ve also taken friends dogs while they were on vacation whenever needed. I work midday so I can walk your dog before 11am or most likely after 7 pm. Even if you just need me to go feed your cats! I do have a fenced in yard but love taking my dog Nala to different dog parks in the area. She gets along with all dogs and loves to play.
About: I have dog care experience as I have a dog with me, labrador pitbull mix and he can be quite a handful sometimes but I always get him in control and never in a negative way, they're dogs, they make mistakes, thy love us no matter what so give them a chance and be patient, I treat every animal as a friend, if my dog seems uncomfortable, I set him a pillow or a blanket if he's cold, if he won't eat his food, I'll find healthy alternatives to add so he will eat, he never leaves my side so I know he loves me, I've had situations where other people's dogs end up liking me more then their owner and that's not my intention, but I just love them so much and I feel like they can sense it, so they become extremely sweet with me
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my deep love and understanding of pets. With two cats of my own and years of experience caring for dogs, I truly know how much pets are a part of the family.

I love to play with them and give them the love and attention they deserve. I am comfortable giving medication to your pets as I do with my own.
About: I started taking care of my friends dog for about a year now. Before going on vacation, they would bring their dogs care stuff and a scheduled list and times he would eat. I would play, feed and bathe the dog. I work per diem at the hospital so I take care of your dog anytime. I’m flexible. Just let me know ahead of time so I can coordinate with my work schedule.

He also has a pet of his own that he dearly loves and takes care of.

Nathaniel S.
“Nathaniel is the epitome of a devoted and compassionate pet parent. I've had the privilege of knowing him for years, and throughout that time, I've witnessed his unwavering commitment to the well-being of his animals. Whether it's the middle of the night or he's in the midst of a busy day, Nathaniel will always prioritize his pets’ needs. He has this rare ability to make any pet feel safe, loved, and cared for, no matter their background or condition. What sets Nathaniel apart is his willingness to take on pets that others might overlook. Over the years, he's opened his heart and home to many animals, many of whom were in dire circumstances. Whether it was a sick animal, one with behavioral challenges, or simply a pet no one else wanted, Nathaniel has never hesitated to provide them with a chance for a better life. His dedication to giving these animals the best care possible is something truly remarkable. He’s never turned his back on an animal in need, regardless of the cost, effort, or time it requires. I’ve seen Nathaniel pour countless into loving and nurturing his pets, offering them not just shelter, but a home filled with love and stability. He goes above and beyond to ensure that each pet has everything they need to thrive—whether that means special diets, medications, or simply extra attention to help them feel secure and loved. His genuine love for animals is evident in everything he does, and it’s clear that his pets are not just animals to him—they’re family. In a world where it’s easy to forget the needs of animals in distress, Nathaniel’s selflessness and compassion stand as a testament to the powerful bond that can exist between humans and their pets. His love is unconditional, and it's that very quality that makes him the most caring and loving pet parent I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.”
Mildred E.

She has a natural connection with animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company, she handles every task with patience and attention to detail. I’ve trusted her with my pets multiple times, and each time I’ve come home to happy, well-cared-for companions. If you’re looking for someone reliable and genuinely loving, I can’t recommend Mildred enough.”

Ryan A.
“Ryan has the sweetest soul ever. He is very loving and caring. He goes out of his way to make sure what he is doing is correct. He takes care of my two dogs and cat from time to time. Whenever we come back home, they are very happy and properly taken care of. Additionally, no messes were left (as in food on the floor or fluff from a toy).
