“Jade did an exceptional job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Her regular updates, along with the adorable photos she sent, gave us great peace of mind and reassured us that our cat was happy, healthy, and in good hands. We truly appreciated her thoughtful care and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Maura accepted our last-minute request to provide drop-in care for our cats and bird when an unexpected trip came up. We trusted her from our first meeting with her and she did a great job! She communicated with us and sent photos from every visit. We will definitely reach out to her when we need to travel again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.
About: • Adult and senior dogs or cats • Special needs (blind, diabetic, trouble walking)) • Quirky behaviors • Puppies that need lots of potty breaks are no problem I am 54, married, retired, and am available 24/7. When not pet-sitting, I care for three dogs at home, plus two sheep and two goats. I will keep your home in great condition, cleaning up after your pets and leaving no trace that I was there. I bring my own snacks!
“Saraya is great! She is very responsive and sends pictures and a message after each visit! We have loved having her watch out cats and appreciate the extra things she does such as cleaning the dirty cat dishes!”
About: Most familiar with cat care all the way from little kittens to senior cats. I do dog walks and dropin visits on the Wag app and have a perfect 5 star rating for every job I have done and am looking to expand my clientele here. I absolutely love being able to care for pets and see how happy they are when we go for walks or play fetch. I also dogsit my family's golden doodle who is learning tricks and has anxiety around people. I have a part time job and do contract work on my own schedule so I can fit pet care around my current schedule easily. I intend your home space to be the same as you left it when you return from your trip with a happy pet waiting for you.

“Veronica was so great with my cats. They were well taken care of and it was a big relief to know they were in good hands.

About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!
