About: For the past 5 years I've pet sat for family and friends, especially during the summer. Many have suggested I venture out to pet sit on the side because they love how I care for their pets. Pets are part of the family and I understand the importance of a trusting pet sitter. Your pets safety and well being will always be my priority! I work full time as an emergency room technician. I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week allowing me to have 4 days out of the week to help clients with any pet care needs! I have the flexibility of offering all day/night services both weekdays and weekends! My priority is the safety and well being of your pet! I thoroughly review all the information provided of your pet and communicate any questions I may have. I make an effort to know feeding schedules, potty preferences and activity schedules before meeting your pet. My goal is make sure your pet feels at home with zero disruption to their routine.

“Isabella was beyond incredible with my four-year-old husky. She took the time and effort to make sure my husky was well stimulated and exercised. Isabella is great at communication, sending photos and updates throughout the day. She also took care of my house and followed the rules. Isabella also went above and beyond and helped Nyra get more comfortable being in a crate. I highly recommend her services!!”

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up in a family with veterinary professionals in it, I absorbed a wealth of practical knowledge. I have a strong, understanding of pet health, safety, and hazard prevention. While I’m not a vet myself, I am fully comfortable administering medications, and managing specific care routines. I pride myself on being attentive, calm, playful, and reliable. Whether your pet is a high-energy pup with zoomies or a senior cat needing a gentle touch, they will be in safe, knowledgeable hands. I am currently working from home with an incredibly open and flexible schedule, your pet will have my undivided attention. My weeks are completely free, making me a perfect fit for pets who thrive on constant companionship, need frequent potty breaks, or require strict, time-sensitive medication schedules. Because I share a vehicle with my partner, my schedule is highly optimized for House Sitting. If you are looking for a sitter who doesn't just 'check in,' but actually hangs out, plays, and keeps your pet company all day long, I’m your guy!" For me, keeping pets safe and happy comes down to two things: sticking to their routines and treating them like my own. I have a lot of experience managing different personalities, medical needs, and schedules, so I know how important consistency is for a pet's peace of mind (and yours!). I have three strictly indoor cats of my own, so I’m used to managing a multi-pet household. I keep up with multiple litter boxes daily, make sure they always have fresh water and dry food, feed them wet food twice a day, and at minimum play with them an hour a day. I regularly look after an older dog who gets two hours of walks a day to keep him active. I make sure he’s fed at 8:00 PM on the dot, and because he loves his crate, I safely tuck him in there whenever I have to step out for a bit so he feels secure. I’m completely comfortable with specialized medical care. One of my regular clients has three cats, and one requires time-sensitive medications via an inhaler and oral syringe. I also have experience with modern pet tech, like automatic litter boxes, and I follow the owner's schedule for cleaning them out and refreshing the automatic water fountain.
About: Currently have a Terrier Mix doggy of my own. I use to have a Pitbull Mix but he passed away few years ago. I have experienced with senior dogs and can administer oral medications. My availability is very flexible on the weekends, whether it’s mornings, afternoon, or evenings. I can do check-in/ drop-in visits or pet sit for you at your convenience. Please let me know your pet’s feeding, walking, potty routine to accommodate their needs. I can provide you with photos throughout the day or evening! :)
“Kristine was absolutely incredible with our large dogs. They loved every minute with her and she was so incredibly patient and loving towards them. I will feel so incredibly safe leaving town the next time we get to book her.”

“Lisa was amazing with my baby, Dolly. She showed up for our meet n greet ready with treats and immediately Dolly connected with her. Lisa knew right away we were on a routine and feeding/treat schedule and stuck to it. She’s a very respectful house guest but more importantly she’s the perfect person to care for your special fur baby! Highly recommend Lisa!”

Caring for my own dog has given me experience with daily feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention.
“Michelle was amazing! I left Mylo our 1 year old puppy and Hamilton our 9 year old Frenchie who needed to be hand fed and Mylo is a handful and she went above and beyond! She even adjusted her Thanksgiving plans a bit in order to accommodate us! She is a star in our book!”


“We went out of the country for 10 days and Jessica was amazing. Lots of updates and came home to a spotless house/ clean sheets- which was amazing after such a long travel day. Highly recommend.”

“Kat was great. She watched my senior dog + puppy for 6 days. She took my puppy on walks, gave my senior dog her meds & kept in communication with me about all their feedings, walks, and activities! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Since I was younger I have always been considered the “pet whisperer” by my family. Always loving and training every dog we’ve had (poodle, Pomeranian, yorkie, and Rottweilers). Many are impressed by how well my Rottweilers do on walks because they are well trained and I can have them off leash. I love all dogs and have been caring for dogs since I was 5. My love for animals is also taking me to Arizona to study veterinary medicine! I have a car so I will be able to pick up and drop off with ease if needed. I can care for pets all day! I always stay professional and compassionate despite the location of my pet sitting. I love all animals and I am happy to watch them as needed!
“Julian was wonderful, and we were very happy to have him stay at our place for the day and take charge of keeping our dogs safe and occupied. We found him to be very personable and reliable, and we will definitely be calling on him again. Thank you, Julian!”

“Appreciate the flexibility! We had a last minute change of plans on the holiday and really needed the help again with our puppies. She’s great with both our reactive and our older dog.”

“Emily is an absolute gem!! Loved on our pack, great communication/photos, and left the house like I would have been home all week (I have high standards) . She was adaptable with my changing travel plans and even our neighbors noted how attentive she was to our furbabies. 💯 will be booking again.”

“William was great with the doggos and very communicative. My pup is slow to warm to people so it’s saying a lot that he was patient with her and she was kissing and snuggling him in a short time. Both dogs were sad to see him go!”

“This is our second time using Emily and she is just fantastic! I cannot recommend her enough, she is so caring and thoughtful and provides such excellent care for our fur baby. She sends daily updates and pictures and also took great care of the house since we had her stay at the house for the duration of our vacation as well. Highly trustworthy and responsible, we would continue to use her again every time!”

Alondra took a good care of my dog for 3 days that I was out of town. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and she loved Alondra . To me it was very important that my dog feels safe and not anxious when I’m out for few days and I’m glad I found Alondra that could stay with TaTa at my place so TaTa felt so relaxed. 🐶🙏🏻😍
