About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, following strict feeding routines, and giving anxious pets the calm environment they need. I am currently working part time in the afternoons. I’ll be available to walk your pets or drop in in the mornings and evenings, Monday-Friday. I will strictly follow the feeding, exercise, and sleeping schedules they are used to at home to keep their anxiety low and their routine consistent.

About: I have taken care of my own 2 fur babies since I was 10 years old and I’ve learned a lot from them especially about dog body language and senior care. Family, friends and neighbors tend to come to me for advise or for any knowledge I might know for their own doggies needs and know how much I cared and loved my own until their very last days. I cared for them throughout most of their life in the puppy, adolescence, adulthood and senior stages. It was a pleasure and joy to do so and I would like to share some of that love and care to other fur babies. I am currently looking for a side hustle/ hobby to bring a little more joy to myself, as well as others, and to get more body movement since I currently have a full time desk job. I love petting and cuddling all dogs that I meet especially my family’s and friend’s dogs. They always gravitate towards me, probably because I just love dogs and truly believe they deserve all the love in the world. I pay very close attention to their body language so that I can understand what they’re needing from me. I also look at my surroundings and will follow any information/instructions provided to me regarding the home or pet when caring for your pups.

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! Hi pet parents! 🐾 To make sure I can give your fur babies the best care possible, here is a quick update on my current availability and my upcoming schedule: Current Work Days & Late-Night Walks On the days you see blocked off on my calendar, I am working my day job from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Need a late-night walk? Please still reach out! I am happy to accommodate later evening walks or drop-ins on my work days once I wrap up. Upcoming Fall Schedule (Starting August 31) I will be starting my nursing school classes, which means my weekday availability will shift a bit: Mondays & Tuesdays: Unavailable 8:00 AM – 11:35 AM Thursdays & Fridays: Unavailable 6:30 AM – 2:55 PM Note: Outside of these specific class blocks, I am highly flexible! If you need care on these days, send me a message and we can easily work around my school hours. Looking forward to seeing your pups and kitties soon! 😊 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.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I pet sit for family & friends, and i’ve decided to start taking care of other peoples pets because it’s something that I love and enjoy! I am a kitten foster, I work with a rescue and have taken care of 7+ newborn kittens that were going to be euthanized. I love doing this not just as a job but as a hobby ☺️ I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am an overthinker so I always think about the worst case scenarios and do my best to avoid anything 😭 Besides that I am on my second year of college looking for a side hustle! If you have any concerns Ive probably researched it 99% of the time, so feel free to ask :) I have 1 cat (indoors & outdoor) and fenced back yard. Accommodations for your pets are available if they are not good with other animals. I have plenty of free time for play time. I enjoy going on walks and exploring nature.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I currently have dogs that are living in my parent’s home that I take care of frequently as well as my friends’ fur babies! :) I am currently a college student and I dedicate most of my school time on Mondays & Wednesdays meaning I am available any other day of the week! :) I have a fenced secluded yard. I also have dogs located in my parent’s home. So, if your fur baby needs company I can bring my fur babies around. If your fur baby prefers no company, there is no problem.

About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.

“Myla was fantastic. She came by to feed and water our cat and dog. Our cat rarely comes out for anyone but us. But the cat LOVED Myla. She sent us a bunch of both our fur babies looking happy every time she visited. Great sitter! We will definitely call on her again.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience handling multiple pets at once while still making sure each one gets individual attention and care. I’ve cared for several dogs and cats together in the same household, so I’m comfortable managing different routines, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with young dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to help reinforce basic training like leash manners, sit, stay, and good behavior during walks and feeding time. I also genuinely love going on long walks, so high-energy dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need, not just a quick potty break. Above all, I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable by sticking to their routines and treating them like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time gigs after moving cross country in mid-2025 and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to make many times work and am able to sleep over or drop in as needed. I make sure to prioritize safety by anticipating potential dangers. My past experience as a daycare teacher has given me eyes on the back of my head and readiness for issues or safety concerns. I make sure spaces remain safe and comfortable for your pet and respect your guidelines and routines.

About: Hi there! I'm Joanna. I have experience in training puppies as well as watching over senior dogs. I can say I have a lot of patience and I understand how some dogs can be timid at first, but no worries I'm here to help bring out their confidence! I have always spent my time with dogs from a very young age. My dogs enjoy it when we go out for a hike, walk, or play dates at the dog park and I can definitely provide that for you if requested. Trust is one of the most important things and I know I will be able to provide that for you and your fur baby. I am a full-time student, but since the classes I'm taking are online, I can still be attentive to your fur baby at any moment! I currently only live with my small-sized dog, Archie. He is super friendly and enjoys going on walks, especially when he walks with other dogs. I understand how important they are in our lives and I definitely consider my dogs as my children so I would treat your pets just as how I would treat mine! I understand how every dog is different and they have different routines, but booking with an experienced dog sitter will ensure they get their needs met while giving you peace of mind!

About: I’ve had pets since childhood. I currently have a senior dog and my hands-on experience caring for adult dogs with specific emotional needs. Because I live with a senior, I am naturally patient, highly observant, and deeply respect a dog’s established routine. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, including anxiety medication, and I know how to keep a calm, low-stress environment for pets who get nervous when their owners are away. Whether I am arriving for a high-energy neighborhood walk or providing cozy, in-home sitting, I focus on building trust with your dog at their own pace so they feel completely safe and secure. I’m a part time nanny and because my job doesnt start until 3:45pm my mornings and early afternoons are completely open for adventures! I’m here for bright and early mornings, or lunch drop-ins and daytime playdates. A quick note for house sitting friends: I do head out to my nanny job from about 3:15pm to 10pm on weekdays. I will always make sure your pup gets a long walk, and a full belly right before I leave, and I return immediately afterwards for overnight cuddles. If your sweet fur baby is happy to snooze and do their own thing for a few hours in the evening, we will be an excellent match. I look forward to meeting you and discussing how I can best support your pets daily routine. I already pet sit and house sit for several families in the area, and I make sure to treat every home and pet I visit exactly like my own-with total respect, love, and tons of belly rubs!

Leaving pets behind is always a nerve-wracking experience. Alexis went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well taken care of. I recommend her 100% and will be booking her again for all of our future pet-sitting needs.

We’re so lucky to have such an amazing dog sitter! Holly is incredibly patient with our doggo who can be stubborn when it comes to going outside for bathroom breaks. She always handles it with such calm persistence and care. We really enjoy the comedic photo updates, especially the “trail of treats” leading to a very judgmental looking Sam who is contemplating whether he should follow the trail and go outside. It always shows how much effort and creativity she puts in.
