About: I've been around cats and critters my whole life. Right now I have my sweet Torti Twix and Noche, my mama's boy. I recently lost my soul kitty, Bronson, and would love to be surrounded by more kitties again. I used to have a leopard gecko named Pedro, so bring on your scaled friends as well. Rats, buns, whatever you have! I accept ALL dog breeds! Find me on Facebook at Lor's Pet Sitting! I also volunteer at a no-kill shelter called Focus on Ferals. I have experience humanely administering pills/oral medication. *Trained in feline first aid* A drop-in includes: feeding, potty time/litterbox cleaning, playtime, love & cuddles, enrichment activities, medication administration (if needed), light housework (sweeping, trash, counters, etc), and daily updates with photos/videos. Rover is my full-time gig, which means I'm flexible with my schedule. I'm available mainly for overnight cat boarding and cat/dog drop-ins. I'd also love to walk your dog, whether they're big or small (I love them all)! Please inquire about services provided. I accept ALL dog breeds! My specialty is working with shy or skittish kitties. I'm patient enough to get on their level, approach slowly, earn their trust, and let them know I'm a safe person. It's incredibly rewarding work. I'm also a sucker for the elderly pets.
“Lillian has been walking our dogs a few or all the days of the week for a few months now and she’s been amazing! Super responsive even when I didn’t give her much notice. :) We are moving so we can’t keep having Lillian walk Freya and we’re so sad! She also takes the best pictures of our girl. We cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I have always had such a big heart for animals, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 7 years old. I currently have three cats and one very spoiled dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or sticking to a routine, I treat every pet like family. My schedule is always changing, so I will fill in to help whenever I can. I am currently in college and looking for a flexible job that I enjoy. Every pet and home are treated with respect. My main priority is to comfort any pet while their family is away and keep them safe and healthy!

About: With twenty-two years of loving care, I treat every dog and cat like family—reliable, experienced, and truly passionate about each pet's happiness, comfort, and well-being.

Plenty of time to give your babies the love and care they deserve. I can take your dogs for walks (as long and far as they need!) as well as drop by for feedings up to three times daily. I can also dedicate playtime to your fur babies for as long as needed. If they need a bath, I can do that, too!
“Jessica has been a life-saver. She was able to take my 1.5 terrier mix out for a 30 min walk while my roommate was out of town. She is super friendly and is highly recommended.”
“Izzy was great and our pups loved her! We reached out to Izzy last minute, as we needed someone to let our pups out/walk them while we were out of town unexpectedly. She came over and met them both ahead of time, and our very timid rescue dog immediately took to Izzy. She was on time each day, and let me know when she arrived and was leaving. She made sure their food and water was full, and locked the house when she left. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need some help!”
About: My family and I have always had pets. Mainly Dogs and Cats, I was able to grow up around Terriers, Retrievers, Rottweilers, Bulldogs, and Mixed Breeds. Each pet is a member of the family.

She’s the best!”
