“Kelly is the best! She has been so helpful and supportive. She’s great at communicating with me, flexible, and always willing to help when needed. She’s attentive to my animals needs and detail orientated. Both my dog and cat both love her! I’m so glad I found a reliable person to take care of my kiddos when needed.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I Love dogs and will give them their best care and treat them well while having fun with them I am currently not working so I would have the time and need to spend time with puppies or any type of dog. I will treat them with love and respect and have them good like if they were my own dogs. I have a fence yard and I have 3 lovely dogs that would be a good company for your dogs. My dogs are nice and friendly.

About: In 2025, I retired from Animal Services after 26 years. I have extensive, hands-on experience working with animals of all sizes and temperaments, giving me a good understanding of their individual needs. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal is unique and that their care should reflect that. I have a dog at home who requires special care, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your pets. Being retired, I am flexible. I have my husband and dog at home and a family member in assisted living that I care for regularly. When caring for pets in their own homes, I believe it’s important to keep them comfortable by following their normal routines. I understand the stress both owners and their pets can experience when they’re apart, and I’ll do everything I can to ease that stress. I’ll follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding and any special care their pets may need, while keeping them informed throughout my visits.

About: I have 4 years of experience volunteering at a local animal shelter where I would take care and the puppies. As well as giving the adult and bigger dogs outside socialization time in the play yard. I’ve also watched and walked dogs for multiple friends and neighbors. I do work full time so on weekdays I would be available evenings only (after 5pm). But my weekends are fully open to care for your fur babies. Safety is extremely important to me. With my time volunteering at an animal shelter I learned the proper way to walk dogs not familiar with me and how to spot different animal behaviors. (Stress, timid, angry). I do like to set a meet and greet time to get to know your pet and their routines and any special needs they may have. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable with me. I am also more than happy to provide photo updates of any drop ins or cute moments during walks.

About: I have owned dogs since childhood and have volunteered at shelters a couple of times. Helping animals in anyway is my passion and I will go out of my way to accommodate to your pets needs. I have only cared for small dogs growing up so I am most comfortable with them. I love animals, growing up I’d want to take in every animal I saw out on the street. Unfortunately that is not suitable for me lol, but I will care for your pet as if it is my own. I enjoy meeting new animals as it can be fun to see how different their personalities present, it also gives me an opportunity to learn and adapt. Please rest assured that they will be in good hands :) With school now in session, I am available mostly during the weekends. Friday-Sunday (with exceptions) But if given an early notice I may be available for other days as well. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, I am sure we can work something out. I own one senior chihuahua, attend to stray cats and own fish. With my dog now being a senior, I am able to administrate supplements if needed. I can also attend to other animals in the house if needed. Such as doing water changes for your aquarium or feeding them. I have been a fish keeper for over 3 years. I will do my absolute best to show up however your pet needs.

About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering oral medications, and keeping up with high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and play. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely and treat them like I would my own, with lots of attention, affection, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I currently work part time in customer service, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I’m happy to spend time playing, giving affection, keeping pets company, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention while their family is away. For me, pet sitting is much more than simply stopping by to feed an animal. I genuinely enjoy building a relationship with the pets I care for and making sure they feel happy, loved, and comfortable until their family comes home. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and truly enjoy being around them. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and favorite things so I can make their time with me feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including seniors. My own Chihuahua lived to be 22 years old, so I understand firsthand how much patience, consistency, and extra attention older animals can need. That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very mindful of safety and cleanliness in both my everyday life and in clients’ homes. I carefully follow care instructions, keep an eye on changes in behavior or needs, and make sure pets are comfortable and their environment is clean and secure.

I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always important to me. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of your home, and I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine.

About: I have two years of experience working in dog training with Good Dog, where I developed valuable skills in handling, caring for, and understanding dogs with different personalities, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Through this experience, I gained knowledge of positive reinforcement, basic obedience training, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with every animal. My experience has prepared me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing companionship, I am committed to treating every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I am temporarily away from my regular job while recovering from a work-related injury. This allows me to dedicate more time and attention to providing quality pet care. I am generally available throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I can accommodate extended house-sitting arrangements and provide pets with consistent companionship, feeding, attention, and care. I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As both a dog and cat owner, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. Caring for my own animals has taught me the value of patience, responsibility, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Along with my two years of experience in dog training with Good Dog, I have developed strong skills in animal handling, recognizing behaviors, and building trust with animals. I prioritize maintaining a clean and secure environment, providing fresh food and water, following established routines, and ensuring pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every animal has different comfort levels, and I always respect their boundaries while helping them feel safe and relaxed. Whether caring for pets in my home or their owner’s home, I am committed to treating every animal like family and providing owners with peace of mind knowing their pets are in responsible and dependable hands.

About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life, giving me a deep understanding and a genuine passion for their care. From leisurely walks to cozy days in, I've extended my love and patience to not only my neighbors' pets but also to my own 4 cats and several local strays. My commitment to providing a nurturing, fun, and safe environment for pets is unwavering. I believe every pet deserves love and dedicated care, and I bring this philosophy to life with every furry friend I meet. Pet care is my main focus, allowing me to have an extremely flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. Because I manage my own hours, I can easily adapt to your dog’s or cat's specific routine, making sure they get their walks, meals, and potty breaks exactly when they are used to them. Whether you need early morning visits, midday dog walks, or someone dedicated to staying overnight at your house, I can structure my day perfectly around your pet’s needs to ensure they are never left waiting! Ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home is my absolute top priority. When staying at your place or doing drop-in visits, I maintain your pet's exact daily routine to prevent any anxiety, treating your home with the utmost respect and cleanliness. I am extremely detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medication (if needed), fresh water, and active potty breaks. Plus, I love keeping you close to your furry best friends by sending frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, so you can have total peace of mind while you are away!

Paesha took great care of Penny while I was away in Curaçao. She made sure her water fountain stayed filled, pee pads were changed as needed, and gave her plenty of affection and attention. I especially appreciated the updates and the care she took checking for mushrooms in the yard since Penny is curious about everything. It really helped ease my travel anxiety knowing Penny was in good hands. I’d absolutely book with her again.
