About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.
“We have used Samantha for extended house sitting and caregiving for our elderly, blind cat. She is just the most reliable, compassionate, meticulous and competent young woman! We trust her completely with our home and our beloved cat. We admire her and wholeheartedly recommend her!”
About: From growing up with dogs to training my first puppy (not a certified trainer), dogs are best friends & family members. I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you are out on vacation, at a gathering, or at work. I work full time hours Monday through Friday. Typically free weekday mornings before 7:30AM, weekday evenings (at 4pm) and weekends all day. Weekends I’m typically out accompanying my dog while he lives his best life. It’s a dog’s world ! My dog is on a strict diet, takes medications and requires lots of exercise. I don’t mind walking, playing, feeding or administering medications to our friends. I have experience with dogs with various energy types and temperaments. I care and treat every dog like they are my own. Willing to send pictures of your dog(s) enjoying their best life !
About: I'm an experienced veterinary nurse with over 30 years, taking care of all kinds of pets. I am currently a surgical nurse and I specialize in senior care, diabetics, post surgical care and medical boarding. When your pet needs extra special care, call me! I work full time Tues, Wed, Thurs, which leaves me free to pet sit Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon. Perfect for those long weekend plans! I have a large, safe, fenced in yard for your dog to play. I have four friendly dogs and a handful of house cats to keep your pet company.
“Misty was great. We came home to the house being in better shape than we left it. Plants more alive than ever, Odin was happy and all was well. I highly recommend using Misty for your pet/house sitting needs. We will definitely be repeat customers :)”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time Veterinary Technician with a passion for animal care both in and out of the clinic. I have hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I bring medical knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine compassion to every pet-sitting job. Whether your pet needs extra care, medication, or just a loving presence while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, capable hands. I treat every pet like family—because they are. 🐾 As a full-time veterinary technician, I have a unique advantage when it comes to pet care. My schedule allows me the flexibility to either bring certain pets with me (when appropriate and permitted) or to stop in during my shift for walks, feeding, or medication visits. Because I’m close by and experienced in managing time around animal care, I’m able to check in on pets regularly and ensure they stay on their routine. I’m fully committed to providing dependable, attentive care, even on workdays. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully. From feeding and walks to playtime and medication. I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My veterinary background allows me to notice and respond quickly to any changes in behavior or health, so your pet is always in caring and capable hands.
“Brittany genuinely loves animals. She connected with my German Shepherd right away and she didn't just check care taking tasks off a list she took care of our 7 year old puppy while we were away. She was professional and easy to work with. We don't need a sitter very often but I'm sure there will be more Brittany in our future.”
About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a little new to pet care but I am eager to get started! I have had dogs my whole life and have always helped out with them. I have pet sat a few times and administered medication. I currently have a 5 year old Labrador Retriever and watch my friends dogs a lot. I enjoy taking them to the beach and to the dog park very frequently. I have always been an animal lover. Any animal, any size! Though I don't yet have any professional experience, I hope to gain some. I did work at a pet store while I was in high school and learned a lot about pet health and caring for ill animals. I hope to be able to engage with your animals and build a relationship with them as well as you! Thank you! I’m currently working full time as a bartender. I typically work 3pm-11pm but my schedule does vary week to week. I can be pretty flexible with hours when necessary. I have a dog of my own that I take on walks or to the park every day! I do live in an apartment so I take my dog on walks daily or we will go to the dog park or on a trail nearby!
About: I have been helping care for our dogs my entire life but I’m really only counting since I was 10. I’m not sure if I would count earlier as helping lol. I would dog sit for family, friends, and coworkers too. I always make sure they are happy and feed. Along with making sure all their energy is out too. I will follow all food instructions that they have. I have given dogs pills before if they require them. I have limited experience with both elderly dogs and puppies, however I am willing to learn what they will need from me. I do work full time but I have an hour lunch where I can run back to let them out. I work from 8-4 so if they don’t need to be let out during the day I will let them out immediately once I get back. I do not do much on the weekends so weekends will be spent with furry friends. I will care for your pet in your home and make it as close as to their routine as possible. I have walked dogs on a leash and have good control. If they do not eat human food they will not be given human food. I always stick to the portions that I am told when feeding them too. If I have a concern about one of the furry friends I will contact you immediately to see what you would like me to do.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. The first dog I called mine was a miniature schnauzer named Poca. I got her when I was 5. I have had many dogs over the years, as well as cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, and other types of pets. I have worked at animal shelters for months of my life. I would feed animals, give them water, take them outside, help administer medicine, watch them in the yards, and just generally love on them. I also have experience working with wild animals at zoos. I have open availability for pet care services, as my main source of income is gig economy work. I am flexible, so no matter what you need, I can likely make it work. I make sure your pets always have access to fresh water, and depending on how your pets are usually fed, I can feed them on a schedule or set up free-feeding. I will also make sure they get plenty of attention.
About: I’ve pet sat for friends, family friends, and colleges for over 7 years! I have also repeatedly been asked to pet sit for the same families! I am very detail oriented and will bring so much love and care to your household while you are gone! Making sure your animals are kept safe, happy, and well taken care of is my mail goal! I have a light work schedule over the summer, I work 2-3 days a week during the morning into the afternoon! If you need me on those days no worries I will stop by before and after work if you need! I am very flexible and will attend to what you need! I prefer caring for pets in your home, my home is already at capacity with my 3 dogs! So keeping your animals at your house with me coming to visit is best case scenario!
“This was my second time using Saul and I’ll be back again in the future! He does great with my very anxious senior dog and I feel so much better knowing he is in good hands when I’m away.”
About: Since I was 13, I have always been responsible for my bulldog, Oscar. He was a bigger, tough guy, so I am pretty experienced in handling tougher dogs. I also own a pit bull and have learned ways to deescalate situations with my own dog. I have consistently cared for my friends and families pets, walking, feeding, playing, even bathing them! I am a current college student, and work a per-diem personal care assistant job. I am available for overnights on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Weekdays can be accommodated depending on time, I am flexible so reach out! I am available throughout the week after my clinical rotations, and on the weekends. After my clinicals I am available at 8pm-9pm Monday-Wednesday, Thursdays anytime after 8pm. Friday-Sunday I am flexible, just reach out! My pets are crate trained, so I am able to operate them as needed for your pet. I have a fenced in yard but frequently take my pets for walks and keep them safe, like I would for your pet! Their safety and your comfortability is my priority!

“Jasper is a responsible person who has a lot of knowledge and experience with animals - not just dogs and cats. Jasper has had interactions with hawks/falcons and pet birds as well as parrots and other birds. Jasper has experience working in animal shelters and worked at a zoo in Georgia as well. I have know Jasper for a few years and have seen them interacting with animals. Very respectful of the animals needs and also just loves animals and the animals under their care are well taken care of. I highly recommend Jasper for animal sitting, walking, vacation care, etc. In addition, Jasper is an honest person and has been in and out of property we own - but do not live in - and can be trusted. The other think commendable about Jasper is that they are responsible and arrive on time and are a great worker. We care for abandoned cats that Jasper is involved with and the cats love Jasper. I cannot say enough nice things about Jasper.”
