“Whitney was punctual, reliable, and conscientious. Our experience was hassle free and I was able to rest easy while away from home, knowing Sonny was in capable hands.”

About: I’ve always grown up with pets in the house and we’ve had dogs in all ranges from chihuahuas to siberian huskies! I trained all three of our huskies to sit, shake, lay down, pray, roll over, etc. They are also all leash trained. My cats are fed twice daily so I definitely understand the importance of keeping a routine with pets! We are fortunate to have an automatic litter box, but I truly don’t mind cleaning litter boxes/picking up after pets. My cats have been trained to stay off furniture in my home and are leash trained to go on walks with me. They are fed twice a day and has access to their space which includes their food and water, litter box, cat tree, and toys at all times.

“Emilien did a great job with my Girl Scout! He bonded well with my girl, and he stayed focused on my girl during the walks. I will be requesting Emilien in the future for dog walks.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 20 years and genuinely love caring for animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I’m comfortable giving medications and following detailed care instructions. I’m a true animal lover—the highlight of my day is getting to pet a dog I meet or having the neighbor cat stop by for a visit! At home, we have a corgi and three cats of our own, so I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also a longtime professional nanny and family assistant, so I have many years of experience being trusted in other people’s homes. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medication when needed, and photo updates during my visits. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I work as a nanny/family assistant, and now that the children I care for are in school, I have plenty of daytime availability for dog walks and drop-in visits. My schedule allows me to be flexible throughout the day, which is especially helpful for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, or just some company while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I have many years of experience working in clients’ homes and understand the trust that comes with caring for both your pets and your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Angel does a great job of getting my pup out during the day for a walk! I really appreciate her, and love seeing photos of the adventures she goes on :)”

About: Whether your pup is young and full of energy or on the older, calmer side of life and likes to lounge, I am your woman! I currently provide daily care for my friends 7 year old Shih Tzu mix, as well as my neighbors 4 year old Husky. I would say I definitely understand Dogs more than I do people. I love talking to them, taking them for long walks, playing fetch and teaching them new tricks. I am also a Cat lover! If you have a cat or kitten that needs to be fed, litter box cleaned or just loved on, I am available for that as well. I am a compassionate individual and I find that I connect with animals in a way that can sometimes be unexplainable. I understand animals and how they work, I think humans can learn more for animals (dogs, cats, etc.) if we all paid more attention to what they are trying to teach us. I am a mom of a 7 month old and he is a big animal lover like his mama! I work during the day, but I am at home all night and every weekend. I have a fenced back yard and I live in a single level apartment. We spend our days out in the yard, weather permitting and walking at Minto Brown Park. I like to go by the house rules of where I am sitting. I currently do not have a place where I can bring pets, so I would travel to you and follow any rules and guidelines you have for your fur baby

About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small for 8 years. I have some experience training puppies and adult dogs as well. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, over all take great care of their furry friends for weeks before. I have always had a love for furbabies, I always volunteered at the rescue shelters as much as I could. Im currently enrolled in college, however after class hours and in between I spend all my time taking care of my fur babies at home. I am not currently working which gives me plenty of time to play and care for your loved pups/kitties. I have a big yard and 2 playful pups to keep your furry friends company. I have a couple crates so that if needed they can have down time away from each other to ensure I can prioritize the care given to your loved ones.

About: I have taken care of my family’s pets as well as friends and neighbors pets for most of my life because of how much I love animals. I worked in a pet grooming salon for a few years and besides leaning the skills of grooming pets, I also learned to treat their owners with the same amount of care. I am a college student heading into my summer vacation, and would love to spend more time with some furry friends. I am available any day and time of the week. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I always have doggy treats on me in case I meet a friendly pup and I love playing with toys or just cuddling if that is what they enjoy. I have two dogs at home, both are small, one enjoys cuddling and never plays with toys, and the other loves cuddling, but would much rather chase toys that I throw for him.

About: I've been around pets my whole life and love animals and I am quite good with them. I've pet sit and walked many times before. I am extremely responsible and currently work another job.

In my home I am in charge of feeding and cleaning after all my pets and making sure they are getting played with enough. I am a gentle person and make sure the pets I'm looking after feel as safe and comfortable as possible with a new person in the house.

“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”

Choose me to care for your special little critter or critters, I’ll treat them like my own Most days I wake up early in the morning and let my cat inside and feed him and give him some love before I leave for school or lift. When I get back he’s usually waiting for me outside the door so we can hangout! After we’re done hanging out I clean his litter box and make sure he has his gourmet dinner that he has everyday. I take care of my cat spooky everyday by feeding him, cleaning his litter box often, deshedding him, and giving him lots of love and cuddles, and I can do the same for your critters. I care about the safety of your critters and will always be aware cautious of my surroundings while walking and taking care of them.

I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I’m here to give your pet the love, attention, and comfort they deserve while you're away.
