About: With a Ph.D. in Animal Science and a lifelong passion for animals, I offer extensive and specialized pet care experience. Growing up, I cared for six dogs, four cats, parrots, guinea pigs, and even a donkey, developing a deep understanding of various pet needs and behaviors. This early experience fostered a lifelong bond with animals and honed my ability to provide loving and attentive care. I have significant experience caring for both kittens and puppies from birth, ensuring they thrive in a nurturing environment. Friends often call me a "cat whisperer" due to my natural talent for connecting with animals and making them feel comfortable and loved. My academic background in Animal Science further enhances my pet care skills, equipping me with a profound understanding of animal behavior, medication administration, and specialized dietary needs. Additionally, my experience includes observing wildlife in their natural habitat during a visit to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania, which enriched my perspective on animal care. Whether managing special dietary requirements, administering medications, or providing affectionate companionship, I am committed to delivering exceptional care for every pet I look after. I’m currently working part-time as a dog and cat sitter, which allows me flexibility in my schedule. I am available for boarding on weekends and can provide care on weekdays after 5pm. This arrangement ensures that I can dedicate ample time to playing, exercising, and attending to your pets' needs. I live in a secure apartment with a comfortable and pet-friendly environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I ensure your pets' safety and comfort by providing a well-maintained, clean space. I am attentive to their needs and will create a safe area for them to play and relax.
“Hallie was AMAZING!! She took care of my baby like it was her own. I got lots of updates and she even took my dog out for a nice long walk, with permission. She did great with my dog who is known to be a bit anxious. I will definitely be using Hallie again for future dog sitting!! I couldn't recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets growing up, and we have always had cats. I am proud to say I helped train my latest family puppy all the tricks she knows! I work part time but only on Friday and Saturday nights. I only do pickup shifts. I’m out of school so my schedule is fairly open. I live 2 minutes away from a park, making a great spot for dogs and outside cats. My house is one floor, so it is easy to get in and out.
“Bailey house sat for us for 2 days and she was great! She would respond to us immediately and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. Would definitely rebook with her.”
About: I started pet sitting while living in Germany, caring for my friend’s cat whenever she traveled—that’s where it all began. After moving to the U.S. a year ago, I began dog sitting and have truly enjoyed it. I love taking dogs for walks, running around with them, and giving them lots of care and treats. I’m especially comfortable with both playful puppies and older pets who need a little extra attention. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the care I give to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away I am currently work part-time. that makes my schedule quite fixable to arrange. I am available Wednesday afternoon till Sunday. On Friday i always gone for hour for horse riding I always make sure pets feel safe and at home, whether I’m in my place or yours. I follow their routine, keep things clean and comfy, and give them lots of love and attention. I make sure doors and spaces are secure, and I’ll send you updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

Best dog sitter! She was great with my dog, Waylon and sent daily pictures. She was also so responsive and flexible. Would highly recommend her for overnight dog sitting and can’t wait to use her next time we’re on vacation!
Teagan was fantastic with my pups! Kept me updated, multiple photos, multiple videos - was there when she said she'd be and kept them entertained while I was away. This was all on an impromptu trip that was scheduled, so she was quick to get back to me and help! Will definitely be using her again.
Saíra did a great job! She established an great rapport with our Pyrenees before we left. While we were gone she took wonderful care of our home and both our dogs. She he sent lots of pictures and left our home just as she found it. We would strongly recommend her to anyone and look forward to working with her again in the future!

She gave daily pics and updates and was absolutely wonderful in every way! We would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Very sweet young lady!
Kristen did an excellent job for us with our precious pets (3) and our house. They got more attention and exercise than we can usually give them. I think we need her to train us to be better pet parents.

Tracy took great care of my dog, cat and home! She kept me updated with photos and I would absolutely have her back!
Jordan was great, and we felt comfortable and relaxed knowing our dogs were in good hands! She sent pictures, kept us updated, and left the house in great shape. All our dogs are happy and were well cared for while we were gone! We’d definitely book her again if we go out of town.
Addison is amazing! She watched my Oliver for 6 days and kept me updated all day everyday! Sent a ton of photos and he had a lot of walks & play time. Anytime she was unsure of something she would always reach out just to be sure and make being away from Oliver much easier/comfortable. He loved her as soon as he met her. I highly recommend! :)

She is wonderful and highly responsive. She cared for my two babies, one of whom is quite ill and requires medication every six hours. Kimberlee did an excellent job sticking to that demanding schedule.
You can't get better than Megan!!! She went above and beyond!!! So great to be able to leave our pets in such great care and not have any worries! She is great at communication, reliable, attentive, and thoughtful! I can't say enough great things - you are in luck if you to have her help!
Kate was fabulous! My animals can be skittish with new people and they absolutely loved them. She was thorough, communicative, and responsive with everything. I would highly suggest booking with them!
Jessica was wonderful with our dogs. She managed our energetic, nearly two-year-old Sheepadoodle with ease and care. More impressively, she looked after our critically ill Havanese, administering his medication every six hours for ten days with great responsibility. While we were traveling abroad, her support gave us true peace of mind. We’ll definitely have her care for our boys again soon.
Tyler did a great job sitting for our dog and two cats over a weekend! He sent daily pictures and kept us informed. The pets seemed happy, and the house was secure and kept up.
Emma did a phenomenal job taking care of my two babies while I was way. She was very attentive to the instructions and asked great questions. She is very knowledgeable on how to take care of animals & my dogs loved her! She even sent progress pictures every day and my dogs looked incredibly happy. I will absolutely be requesting her services again when I need my pets to be taken care of.
Christan was awesome to have watch our animals! We needed someone last minute and even though our address was messed up in the system she still drove out of her way to accommodate. Both of our animals were taken care of and she kept us updated throughout our time away! Not only did she care for them, but she also kept our house clean and mess free which she did not have to do. I hope to book her again the next time we are away because not only did we enjoy her but our animals did too and that has given us comfort! I would recommend her services again and hope to use her in the future!
