I would recommend her to anyone I know and will be booking again, Zeke gave two paws up ?”


“Cerys is awesome! I've booked her twice and will book her again for sure. From the second she met with us during the meet&greet, I could tell her and Diesel were bonded.

About: Began working in animal hospitals when I was 12… love caring for fur-babies! I hold a doctorate in a public health field & a degree in animal sciences/pre-veterinary medicine (was accepted into multiple veterinary schools). I recently moved, & saw an opportunity to return to caring for animals. I provide what I looked for when I used sitters for my pets: reliability, responsiveness, & and animal lover. Happy to play with active pets, patient with those who need to warm up, & love cuddling the couch loungers. I have experience with animals from birth to senior years & various health conditions. I follow your directions as you know your pet(s) best. From cuddles and walks to surgery and inpatient care - I have experience. In addition to working in pet hospitals, I have had my own pets, from small to very large (other animals in photos… Rover is only for dog/cat/housesitting & I have to abide by TOS). I look forward to bonding with your fur-family members so you can relax with the assurance your pets are in good hands. Hablo español (Costarricense) Right now I am 100% dedicating my time to fur-babies. I do not leave them longer than 2-3 hours (unless discussed beforehand). PLEASE NOTE: this will change in October when I have to return to the office. I will only be able to care for pets that can be left for work hours. I will have more info soon on days off, etc. I follow your instructions for your pet(s). I am adaptable. There is a mini dog-park here & lots of green space for walks! I’m happy to provide a more comfortable experience for your pets while you’re away than a traditional kennel & keeping them in homes. I recently moved to the area so am in an apartment (and why boarding large dogs is a case-by-case basis), but also am a homeowner, so understand entrusting your home to a house-sitter. Safety & a good experience for your pet(s) is my priority.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was a child and love it! We go on walks every day and have a golden doodle who loves playing with a friend. I am able to give your dog lots of love and care because I am able to be home with them all day! I currently stay at home so I will be available all day and able to give your pet my full attention. I'm available all throughout the week for boarding and walking or drop ins in the mornings and afternoons. We have a very large common grass area for our backyard where they can roam but do have to be on a leash. We can crate your dog if and when needed.

About: I have cared for all types of pets from all different ages in my many years of veterinary and kennel experience as well as being a pet owner myself I am currently pursuing a new business venture and have no work schedule to keep me from being able to provide my undivided attention and love to your fur babies. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pet company as well as large areas in my home to keep separated if preferred. I live close to the sugar creek greenway to provide as many walks and outdoor time as your pet desires.

“Truly appreciate Kristen so much! She walked Bowie and played with him every day while we were away on Honeymoon and it was such a relief to know he was in her hands when we couldn’t be there! Thank you, Kristen!”

About: Disclaimer: At this time I ask that first-time clients DO NOT contact me if you are not 100% comfortable with my pricing. I totally understand that EVERYTHING is expensive these days and more people have a tighter budget. Sitting is my only form of income at the moment, so it is not sustainable for me to lower my prices. It is VERY important to me that I am able to provide the highest level of care possible while also being able to keep myself financially afloat. I also want to make sure that my clients are comfortable and confident in my abilities and pricing. Thank you so much for viewing my profile and keeping this detail in your consideration! - 5 years combined experience in daycare, boarding, and veterinary assistance - worked in many different roles within the field - up to managerial in dc/boarding - experience with pets with various medical, dietary, or other special needs - received pet CPR training during previous employment I recently finished my B.S. in Forensic Science and, while I am waiting on job opportunities in the field, will have a very open schedule for the foreseeable future. I am very flexible and open to working in whatever way/time fits best with your schedule and your pets' particular lifestyle and needs! I can offer day through night house-sitting, drop-ins up to every two hours, walks, or a combination, depending on what works best for you and your pet(s). With working in the daycare and boarding field for so long, I take the safety of and trust between myself, you, and your pet(s) very seriously. I have experience monitoring multi-pet households, in which different safety concerns or special needs per pet must be monitored. I also have a special love for senior pets and am more than happy to cater to their needs, whether that means slower or more frequent walks, special diets, or extra medical needs. I am able to give oral and injectable medications and have general knowledge on things such as: commonly used medications and monitoring potential concerns, such as abnormal stool, to determine if at-home care options are possible or if symptoms could indicate something that may need Veterinary Care. In the case of multi-day care or if you have specific concerns, I can provide detailed daily notes, regarding eating, medication, bathroom habits, behavior, etc., and pictures of your pet. ** Please note that I am more than happy to stay at your home full-time (24/7), but this will incur variations in my nightly rate which can be discussed at the time of the meet and greet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a very long time. I have dogs from a puppy to senior dogs. I like to pamper our fur babies. I’m retired but trying to stay active and healthy, dog walking and daily activities is a great and enjoyable way for me to achieve this. I have cared for many family and friends pets over the years while they are out of town, or a quick check in on puppy while they’re at work. From small older dogs, to big hyperactive huskies. I am familiar with many breads.

About: Currently a graduate student at LIM College studying Global Fashion Supply Chain Management. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and have had a natural affinity for all kinds of animals. Since I currently can’t own a pet of my own due to being a student, I love being with animals as much as possible! Which is why Pet sitting is awesome because I get to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I’ll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. In the past I have pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. In my free time, I like to workout or relax with a good book!

About: Hi, I’m Isabel Duke — and caring for animals is something I take to heart. I’ve spent years looking after dogs and reptiles, both my own and others’, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s a daily check-in or an extended stay, I focus on routines, comfort, and making your pet feel safe and seen. 🐾 Services I Offer For Dogs: • Walks, playtime, feeding, and meds • Keeping routines consistent and stress low • Crate-trained, leash-trained, and high-energy friendly For Reptiles: • Experienced with geckos, bearded dragons & similar species • Feeding (live/frozen), misting, cleaning, and care checks • Comfortable with exotic pet needs like heat, light, and humidity A Little More About Me When I’m not working or caring for pets, I collect rocks for a hobby (being a geologist does that to ya!) exploring nature, and nerding out over D&D. I believe animals can tell when they’re in good hands, and I always aim to be someone they can trust. Let’s chat if you think I’d be a good match for your pet! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have two dogs of my own, so feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship are already built into my routine. My lifestyle is built around caring for animals, and I’m committed to making sure every pet I look after feels safe, stimulated, and loved—whether it’s part of my routine or a special visit. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets’ routines consistent and stress-free. At my home, they’ll enjoy a calm space, a fenced yard for supervised play, and respectful introductions to my two friendly dogs. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely. Wherever they are, your pet gets personalized attention, love, and a safe place to relax.

About: Thank you for clicking on my profile and taking the time to read it! I'm Lishi, you can also call me Shishi. I genuinely love being around animals. I grew up with a toy poodle and a cat, and I’ve also taken care of other people’s pets over the years. Currently, I live with two cats (Sunny & Midnight) who are both gentle and affectionate. I used to work in the corporate world, where I was known for being highly responsible, reliable, organized, and punctual. Pets are part of my family and an important part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well! I approach each animal as a unique individual. I pay close attention to their body language, respect their boundaries, and adjust my care to whatever helps them feel safe and relaxed. Both cats and dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, even those who are shy or sensitive. (I will be out of the country from around September 20 to November 10, traveling in China and Japan, and will be excited to care for your fur babies upon my return.) I'm on a gap year right now and have a flexible schedule, so I love filling my days with the company of animals. Taking care of my two cats is part of my everyday life, and honestly, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I try to create a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, litter, meds—and I pay attention to their body language so I don’t miss signs of stress or discomfort. I always double-check doors, leashes, and fences, and I’m extra mindful with pets that are shy, anxious, or curious escape artists. I give them space when they need it and comfort when they ask for it. My goal is always to help pets feel like they're safe, respected, and not alone—even when their humans are away.
