About: I have 10 years of experience in raising cats and 6 years of experience in rescuing stray cats. I have 3 cats at home. I am experienced in taking care of kittens, sick cats and dealing with cat stress. I live in a large house with 6 rooms and a backyard for two families. Most of the cats that come to foster care are in single rooms. I love cats, just like I love my own children. My husband and I work from home, so we have plenty of time to take care of your pets, we have plenty of time to take them for a walk. The house I live in has two floors and six rooms. I hope the owner provides food, and I will be provide snacks. The cats will live alone in the cat house for the first two days when they come to my house. I will observe the friendliness of the cats to decide whether to let them play with other cats.

About: Hi, I’m Christian! By day, I’m a student, but by heart, I’m an animal lover and your pet’s new bestie. (My friends will tell you I’m the person who stops mid-conversation to say hi to a passing dog—no shame!) With over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, I’ve done it all: administering medications, eye drops, and special diets; fostering animals; and even rescuing strays off the streets in Puerto Rico. From playful puppies and shy cats to bunnies, turtles, and chickens, I’ve cared for them all. But beyond my skills, I bring a lot of heart, energy, and humor to pet sitting. Whether it’s a belly rub session, an extra-long sniffing walk, or a funny photoshoot to capture your pet’s personality, I’m here to make sure your fur baby feels loved, happy, safe, and completely at ease. Let’s make their time with me as fun and stress-free as possible! As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your fur baby’s care! While I have classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I’m available for morning visits, evening snuggles, and weekend fun. Whether it’s a midday walk, a quick drop-in visit, or some playtime at the park, I’ll make sure your pet gets the love and attention they need. Let’s work together to create a schedule that works for you and your furry friend! When it comes to caring for your pets, their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m in your home or hosting them in mine, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and—of course—a little spoiled. I’ll stick to their routine, whether it’s meal times, favorite walking routes, or that special spot on the couch they’ve claimed as their throne. From potty breaks to playtime, belly rubs to head scratches, I’ve got it all covered. I also respect your home as if it were my own. If there are any accidents, I’m happy to clean them up (with your permission, of course!). You’ll return to a tidy space and a happy, relaxed pet ready to greet you. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with fun photos and messages so you can see just how much fun we’re having together. Whether your fur baby needs extra snuggles, playtime, or just some quiet TLC, I’m here to make sure they feel right at home.

About: I have been dog sitting with Rover since 2020 and I love it! I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs, and many different breeds! I am available from Saturdays to Tuesdays, so please feel free to book whatever kind of service it is that you might need on those days! I live in a house and have a fenced backyard (concrete floor). My 5-year-old dog Morkie is 8 lbs and can give another dog company. He doesn’t typically play with other dogs, as he is a bit of an introvert (lol). He also gets territorial and jealous but he’s all bark no bite!

About: I've been loving and taking care of dogs since I got my first pet when I was 10 years old! I have experience taking care of younger, energetic dogs and older, more laid-back dogs. As my dog got older, he needed a lot of different types of care in regards to specific diet and making sure he takes his prescribed medications, so I'm very capable at that aspect of pet care! I've also done pet sitting for some friends a few times so I know how to help make our little friends feel more comfortable in a different environment. At the end of the day, I love all the routine and fun tasks-walking, feeding, bathing and lots of playing! I'd be super excited to provide some extra care and love to your pups!! I currently work remotely proofreading and fact-checking AI chatbot responses. I also am an aspiring actor, so most of my time with that consists of auditions. Most auditions are self-taped in my home and occasionally I'll have an in-person audition. I attend an acting class once a week on Tuesdays from 11a-3:30pm. I am very available and flexible when it comes to pet care! My goal is to make sure your pet feels as comfortable and loved as possible! My dog did not like change and did not want his routine disrupted so I will make sure if there is any instructions when it comes to walks, feeding and treats that I will follow them! I will also send plenty of updates, pics and videos!
