About: Hi! I'm Deborah, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I've had dogs since I was a child and have fostered multiple litters of puppies over the years. Whether it's a playful pup, a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, or a house full of furry friends, I treat every pet like family. With decades of hands-on experience, you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and communicative. I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when someone is caring for your pet and home. That’s why I always provide updates, photos, and stay in close contact so you know your pet is safe and happy. I’m here to make sure your pets are comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your pets! I have plenty of experience and time on my hands to spoil your furry family members. I can accommodate all types of personalities and health issues. I can care for pets in your home. I have a flexible schedule so lets talk about what your pets need. Happy to set up a zoom call for a first time meet and greet.
About: I’ve been a pet owner/lover my whole life! Happy to do whatever makes your doggie feel comfortable while you are away! I know how much pets mean to their owners and would love to offer some TLC to yours when you can’t be there. I’ve also done housesitting for many people over the years and I’ll take great care of your home as well! I can also do chores around the house while you are away, if desired. I specialize in pets that are higher maintenance or require special care (administer meds, nervous/anxious animals, older animals, etc.) I hope to get to meet your furry friend(s) very soon! I am a friendly, down to earth, clean person that will make your time away worry free!
“Alannah was WONDERFUL to work with - she came for a meet and greet before our overnight and was on top of things from the start. She took wonderful care and sent updates on Gigi and even left my place better than she found it- above and beyond! 100% recommend and will hire her again anytime!”
About: I've grown up with 6 labs, 2 cats, numerous fish, hamsters, and other assorted animals. I love being around dogs the most and treat everyone's pet as I would my own. Walks, play-time, dog-sitting, or check-ins - whatever you need, I'm your guy! I work remote 2 days a week and I'm home (alone) every day starting around 6pm. Taking care of your pets would help me fill my time with some good company! I can't house any pets at my residence, but I'll respect any and all guidelines for pet care at your home, the park, or any walk we go on.
“Maggie had a great time with Casey! Our dog can be difficult with other dogs but Casey assured us he had experience training his own dogs and dog sitting many others. We enjoyed our time off knowing she was in good hands.”
“Margot was so great with Milo and was so helpful for watching him through the whole day! She took him on 2 walks and was very kind! Milo seemed very happy when I got home and we would definitely book with her again 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs over 50 years since childhood. As a retired doctor, I understand health and behavior well. Neighbors and friends often trust me with walking, feeding, and caring for their pets, knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. As a retired doctor, I now enjoy a peaceful life with a flexible schedule. I’m home most days and would love to spend time walking, playing, and caring for your dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with a secure backyard and plenty of space. I focus on safety, comfort, and calm interaction. Your pet will have my full attention, and I can easily handle special needs or medication if required.
About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. I'm patient, gentle, and pay close attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, slow walks for older pups, or active playtime for energetic dogs, I adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m currently very flexible, especially on evenings and weekends. Whether it's a quick check-in, feeding, or playtime I’ll make sure your pet gets consistent, loving care. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or special care needs. I keep a calm, clean environment and give pets lots of attention and affection while respecting their space. I also stay in touch with regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and safe. If I ever have a question or notice something unusual, I’ll reach out right away.
“Yara is the best. She took excellent are of our dog Hero in our home, visiting multiple times a day to feed and walk her, taking her on excursions, and even doing some of her own work from our home just so Hero could have a little extra company throughout the day. Would highly recommend!”
“We love Emmy! She is the absolute sweetest, and our pup just adores her. She is kind, thoughtful, and considerate, and we never worry for a second when our dog is with her. We will 100% ask Emmy to watch our girl in the future and couldn’t recommend her more highly!!”
“Thank you Jenna for your tender loving care of Alex while I was away. I know it wasn't easy, as he also started a new medication (that you picked up for me!!) along with his other meds. Just getting him to take his meds is quite a task. I will certainly contact you again the next time we are out of town. Thank you, thank you!!”
“Bri is an absolute dream pet sitter! She spent a week looking after our two kitties (who absolutely fell in love with her) and we felt so confident that they were in great hands. We got consistent and adorable updates from her and came home to a spotless apartment (which is the best surprise after such a long travel day). Can’t wait to hire her again! 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life and they are my favorite animals. My neighbors and friends trust me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’m currently working a very flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to hangout and take care of my dog and other dogs. I am also very athletic and am always going on runs with my dog. I have a medium sized fenced in backyard and a 6 year old playful lab to keep your pup company. The bay trail is right behind my house so taking the dogs on walks is super safe!
“HoChuen day-sat our dog for several hours while we were out. I would highly recommend him. He was conscientious and prompt and asked good questions before we signed him up. He was on time and engaged with our dog and followed up on our instructions. He communicated when he thought there was a problem and asked for our input. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again. I recommend him to other users.”
