Haley was very friendly, and kept us well updated each day on how out cat was doing. Gus warmed up to her instantly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter, and look forward to using her again in the future.

About: I've grown up with pets all my life. My family has raised multiple dogs since I was a little girl, ranging from small to large dogs, so I have plenty of experience with canines. Furthermore, though I wasn't allowed to have cats myself growing up, I've always adored them and have done plenty of pet-sitting for friends and families who did. I don't have professional pet-sitting experience, but I do love animals and have grown up caring for them in some capacity throughout my entire life, so I assure you I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time and am looking for some extra money on the side. However, despite that, I am still available throughout the week. I work early mornings and am always available after 4 p.m. Saturday is the only day I can pet-sit at any time needed. I would care for your animal and your home as if they were my own, with respect and care. Let me know the schedule, routine, and personality of your pet, and I will take it from there. I am always available for a video call when I am pet-sitting within your home, and will happily provide video updates throughout the visit, especially for new clients who are still becoming familiar with me. Your and your pets comfort is my main priority, so let me know what you need, and I got you.

I am very glad that Manuela helped with my cats during our vacation. Manuela came before my trip to meet Mia and Aska, and then came on all the appointed days. Sent me photos and videos of them playing together. I can recommend Manuela as an excellent nanny for kittens :)

About: Hey! I’m Patricia, and I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. I recently took a break after moving away for college, but now that I’m back, I’m excited to start pet sitting again! I’m responsible, reliable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pawfect family! 🐾🤍🤍 My schedule is very flexible, and I’m currently available Monday through Friday at any time since I’m not in school right now. On weekends, I’m available from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and look forward to providing dependable, loving care for your pets! I always keep plenty of treats on hand (with your permission) and live near a park, making it easy to take dogs on fun, safe walks and give them the exercise they need. I’m also happy to provide care in your home if your pet is more comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, and the best care possible while you’re away.

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient, observant, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to stay relaxed and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my schedule around being responsible, active, and consistent. I have the flexibility to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets attention and companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels rewarding rather than stressful. Throughout the week, I make sure pets have a stable routine, plenty of supervision, and a comfortable environment where they can feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on time, walked, given fresh water, and receive companionship and care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I’ve worked with both young and older pets, and I’m patient, attentive, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to their routine and give them the care and attention they need. I also keep owners updated so you always know your pet is in good hands. I’m currently work weekends only, so I will be available throughout the week to care for pets. My schedule is flexible and open, to accommodate your needs. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or playtime, and have a clean, safe space to relax. I pay attention to their behavior and adjust to their needs—whether they’re energetic or more calm. I also respect the client’s home, follow all instructions, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I Love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kind. Your pet will be staying in my home, so they will have the whole house to themselves. I take extra long walks to the park and the beach often. You will never find anyone more invested in your best friend. Every hour of every day is dedicated to caring for your best friend. I am very active. I go to the gym 5 days a week. Working with dogs and cats gives me what we need in order to stay fit and mental stable. I will have your doggies tired at the end of the day!! The doggies and kitties have the entire house to their self. I have a big home with 4 floors. I also have a large yard that is fenced in and totally secure. No one gets in or out unless I decide to.

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently studying to become a Veterinary Assistant, which has helped me learn more about animal behavior, health, and proper care. I have experience caring for cats and dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I’ll provide plenty of updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for until you return. I work during the day on weekdays, so I’m available for morning visits before 8:30 a.m. and evening visits after 6:00 p.m. (sometimes 7:00 p.m., depending on my schedule). I’m also available l weekends and always make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and plenty of love while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I always do my best to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise if needed, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. As a Veterinary Assistant student, I pay close attention to animal behavior and well-being and will let you know if I notice anything concerning.

T’Wanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my cat had plenty of company and lots of pets and cuddles. She communicated well with me each step of the way letting me know how much food he had eaten, she replenished the water in the litter and let me know how he was doing overall. It meant so much that she spent so much genuine time making sure that my cat was comfortable and well cared for during her drop in. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again

About: I have always cared for the cats of my neighbors in Chicago, let alone other cats. Since my young adult years, I always have had cats and have been learning how to care for them from personal experience, reading online, and visiting vets as well as volunteering at shelters in Chicago over the years or supporting fundraisers! I am available nowadays to care for your pet at my home for a short period of time. Or I could visit your home! I am aware of territory adjustments and super careful about health issues. I have experience working with children and understand how important it is to supervise and engage with pets all the time! Also, it is important to pay attention to them in terms of health and behavior and provide a healthy routine of meals and clean litter boxes, among other things.

Maya took great care of both my indoor and outdoor cats while I was away. She was in regular communication with me about whether or not the cats were visible during her drop-ins, as well as how open they were to getting some rubs and TLC. She even brought my dumpsters back into my yard on trash day and made sure packages delivered to my home made it safely inside. Maya is a sweetheart and I absolutely plan on having her care for my babies for my next extended out of town trip!

Megan took care of our cat regularly for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with her help. Our cat has a very sassy and cautious personality, but Megan managed to win her over, which honestly says a lot. She was able to pet her and even got her to play, which is not easy at all. We are very grateful to Megan for her care, patience, and reliability. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.
