About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.

About: A strong commitment to treating every pet “like you do,” with a satisfaction-focused approach centered on each animal’s happiness, comfort, and well-being. Having 20+ years of professional pet care experience, giving owners confidence that their pets are in knowledgeable hands Paws N Claws Pet Service is a full-time part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day is organized around scheduled pet visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and client updates. Throughout the week, I coordinate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and tailor care to each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive reliable, personalized attention. I provide personalized, in-home care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follows their normal routine as closely as possible. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. If needed, I can administer medications according to the owner’s instructions and monitor each pet for any changes in behavior or health. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.

Joni took fantastic care of my shy foster Millie and has been incredibly accommodating with my last minute request. Even managed to plan for a meet and greet which absolutely helped Millie feel comfortable the next day for the actual sit. Joni sent many pictures and updats and my mind was completely at peace knowing Millie was in her gentle care. Joni also was very thorough with Millie’s schedule and routine, perfectly punctual, and very respectful of the house, leaving no trace behind! Thank you Joni!

Molly and her husband were great, they took care of our two dogs while we were away for a few days and made sure they were pampered and stayed healthy. They also left our place clean and went the extra mile to get our puppy some extra food when he ran out of it. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!

About: I’ve been providing pet care for years and have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I also have over 100 five-star testimonials from past clients on another platform that I’m happy to share upon request. I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral medications and injections such as insulin, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to keep pets happy and healthy. I work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and one-on-one care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is being cared for as if they were my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, outdoor time, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away. I’m up early and very active throughout my day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. After years of providing pet boarding, I’ve intentionally adapted my home to create a safe environment for visiting pets. I have secure locking pet gates to safely block access to stairways when needed, non-slip stair grips to help prevent slips and falls, and indoor security cameras that allow me to monitor pets and review any unexpected situations if necessary. Because I work from home, pets receive constant supervision, individualized attention, and very little time alone. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions, to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive, personalized care.

Rachel was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for our Duke, exceeding all of our expectations. She was prompt, extremely communicative, and provided frequent updates complete with pictures and videos. When Duke became picky with his food, Rachel quickly came up with helpful solutions. It’s clear that Duke loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!

Truly the best sitter! Sent us updates and many pictures of our pup throughout our trip which we loved. She also took him to the dog park on our property twice a day so he had the time of his life. Could not have asked for a better person to take care of our little guy. She’s also incredibly sweet and respectful. Can’t recommend her enough!

Jin is truly one in a million. We have two older dogs, and one of them unexpectedly became the most ill she has ever been while Jin was dogsitting them. Jin took her to the emergency vet and was up at night taking care of her, going above and beyond what I ever could have asked for. When my other dog contracted the bug from our first dog, Jin was quick to attend to her too. She was communicative, compassionate, and so incredibly attentive. She truly cared for them like they were her own! I really can’t say enough about how wonderful Jin is, how grateful I am that she was there for our pups, and would recommend her to anyone who wants the best possible care for their pets and peace of mind.

Holy moly! I can’t brag about Safiya enough! From start to finish the communication was nothing short of incredible. She cared for my baby like he was her own. She cared for my home like she lived here. I feel like a found a member of the family not a sitter. Hands down, the best caretaker for anyone you love. Will ONLY be booking with her again in the future. 100000000000000000000 out of 10. Literally the greatest experience.

Samiyah did a great job watching my dogs, Debo and Sadie, while I was out of town from Thursday to Wednesday. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions as requested and made sure both dogs were well cared for during my time away. I came home to everything in order and two well-looked-after dogs. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process smooth. I would definitely book Samiyah again and recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter.
