About: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective. I take the time to understand each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with multi-cat households, administering basic medications, and caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat your home and your cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in calm, capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around visits, ensuring I’m always on time and able to provide consistent, attentive care. I’m intentional about not overbooking so each cat receives the time, attention, and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I prioritize being fully present and dependable. I focus on maintaining each cat’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and playtime or companionship based on your cat’s personality. I take the time to understand preferences — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or simply respecting their space. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always communicate anything noteworthy. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.

First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.

Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

About: When I was younger I would naturally gravitate towards animals, if I was at someone’s house you’d find me hanging out with the dog or cat. Because of this I’ve always been trusted to care for them and have gained experience from a young age with many different pets with ranging needs and personalities. I personally have a three year old cat named Linus, he is extremely loving, playful, and screams at me every morning for breakfast. I often care for different pets and really enjoy giving them the attention they deserve. I’m currently doing online classes and have a very flexible schedule with my part-time job. I am open to working with anyone’s schedule and can do overnights any night. I will care for your pet as I would mine, with all precautions and care taken to ensure the safety of your pet or pets. I appreciate detailed instructions and if I’m unsure of anything I will ask.

About: With a lifetime of experience growing up around animals, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs from numerous families. I have also cared for senior dogs, making sure they get the medications and special attention they need. What sets me apart is the patience and time I dedicate to helping pets feel comfortable and secure while their loved ones are away. I don’t just watch over dogs—I give them affection, consistency, and the same love they’d get from their family. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to come by as needed and can create a plan that works best for your pet’s routine. I’m also available on weekends and can provide overnight care, making it easier for you to travel with peace of mind knowing your pets are well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect. I carefully follow all instructions the owner provides and make sure their home and pets are treated with the same care as if they were my own. I am respectful of the space, leave everything as I found it, and clean up after myself and the pets. If a pet needs to be crated, I always ensure they are secure and comfortable before I leave. I also have many families I’ve worked with who can provide references to give you extra peace of mind.

About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.

About: I've never not had animals in my life! I spent my early years on a working farm and have always had a way with animals. Dogs love me (cats, too!) and I them ❤️ I have many years of experience in the veterinary field and know what to do in emergencies. I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. I do work away from home for 5-8 hours a day, split shift. I have dogs amd cats but can keep them separate, if necessary. My dogs are dog friendly, although my beagle mix is very bossy (typical!) Dogs will be in the house with my dogs, but they can be separated, if needed. I can crate, if the parents supply the crate. Dogs will be leash walked in the wide front yard but we can also go across the street to the dog park, too!

About: Hello! I am a SAHM to a little boy born in May 2025, and have spent my life loving on animals, always having pets in the home and taking care of neighbor dogs. My little one will often come with me, as his dad travels for work, but he remains in a carrier during our visits and is used to our three dogs at home. We currently have 3 wonderful rescue doggies ranging in size from 11-100lbs that I love with all my heart and would love to spread some of the care to your sweet pet. I am a brand new mom and have availability to work around my newborn’s schedule. I work part time on Mondays and Tuesdays as a virtual therapist, so those days are sometimes more full to work around. Due to my little one’s schedule, I am not usually available for visits past 7:30pm! I think it is so important to make your pet feel comfortable with me and the environment. I will always take their lead for what they need whether it be space to process a new person, or lots of cuddles and play.

Marlowe is awesome! She loves (and can handle!) my very excitable pit and is great with her. Lisa is always tired after a visit with Marlowe. It gives me so much peace of mind to know that Lisa can get some quality play and snuggle time during the day with Marlowe. I would recommend her to anyone.

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!

William is the absolute BEST. Our 2 yr old Lucy loved him. She got so excited when he came to walk her. William is a very easy going, calm, gentle and overall good person who obviously connects well and quickly with animals. I highly recommend him and his quality. Your furry friend will be in excellent hands.

Nicholas was able to accommodate a last minute request for a late evening dog walk, even finding the time to come and do a meet and greet prior to the booking. He was responsive and reassured us that Albus would be in great hands. I enjoyed reading Albus’ report card too! I would definitely recommend Nicholas for your dog walking needs, and I’m hoping to use his services again in the future. Thanks for taking great care of my boy.
