About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and attention to detail. I work from home part of the week, allowing me to stick closely to routines and provide attentive care. I’m patient with shy pets, comfortable with senior care, and happy to follow all training and care instructions. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so I’m very flexible during the day when needed and happy to adjust my schedule. I also stay local every weekend! I care for pets by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s unique needs and personality.

“This is our second time booking with Bennie and Jennie and we are again 100% satisfied! Lots of pictures and videos and very detailed summary report of all of our kitties and their behavior. Jennie is very flexible and able to adapt to different instructions in case things need to be changed during our absence. We even got 3 polaroids of our kitties at the end of the catsitting! I highly recommend Bennie and Jennie for all your catsitting needs :)”

About: I am a former nurse who truly loves animals. I’ve had pets my entire life, starting in childhood. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds — including hand-raising baby birds that fell from their nests. I do pet care full-time, so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I’m available most weekdays, weekends and holidays. I offer dog walks, cat visits, small pets care (hamsters and birds), and full pet care during your vacation (1–4 weeks), including 3–4 visits each day for walks, feeding, and companionship. I take care of pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I follow your rules and your pet’s routine. I can also take small, friendly pets to my home( apartments). NO PHONE USE during a visit (only for updates). What you get: • A reliable adult who truly cares about your pet • Walks based on your dog’s age, energy, and personality • My full attention — no phone use during walks • Feeding and fresh water every visit • Medications given if needed • Playtime and activities your dog enjoys • Clean food and water bowls • A calm and loving presence, so your pet feels safe and not lonely • Care that follows your instructions exactly • Regular photo and video updates • Respect for your home — I leave everything clean and in order • I can bring in mail or small packages • I check the lights so your home looks lived-in

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a child. I feel a connection to animals and find it therapeutic to be in their presence. I love being outdoors and feel comfortable giving medications or giving extra care for your animal . I’m currently a registered nurse looking to pick up extra work. I enjoy taking care of humans and animals ! Right now my schedule is open. I have one fur child so I am very flexible. I would be most comfortable taking care of your pets at your home. I have experience with crate or gates. As said prior with instructions I’m comfortable giving medications or extra care. I also enjoy giving cuddles, play time or long walks.

About: I have over 20 years of personal experience caring for dogs and currently have two large dogs of my own — a Golden Retriever and a Labrador. I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and active personalities. I specialize in drop-in visits, including feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, short walks, playtime, and providing companionship while you’re away. I understand how important routine and consistency are for pets. As a parent and long-time dog owner, I value responsibility, safety, and clear communication. I will always send updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is well cared for. I am currently available for drop-in visits during weekday daytime hours. My schedule allows me to provide consistent and reliable care Monday through Friday. At this time, I am not available on weekends, but I am happy to accommodate regular weekday visits for feeding, potty breaks, short walks, and companionship. For each drop-in visit, I follow your pet’s routine and feeding instructions carefully. I make sure fresh water is provided, potty breaks are completed, and your pet is comfortable before I leave. I respect every client’s home and handle keys, doors, and gates responsibly. I double-check that everything is secure before leaving the property. After each visit, I provide photo updates and a brief summary so you can feel confident and at ease while you are away.

Irina did a lot to help mimi during her first time alone at home for five days. Mimi even gained some weight! I was able to enjoy my vocation well when receiving photos and videos of Mimi. Definitely I will find Irina again for my next trip! Thank you very much!”

About: I enjoy spending time with cats and dogs, here’s my pet sitting experience so far: - Taken care of a high energy 2 year old female Doberman on numerous occasions (even during heat and post spay surgery) - A Senior German Shepherd who also happens to be a service dog - Three lovely rescue kittens (I also helped their mother build them their beautiful cat tree) - A three year old playful labradoodle I’m currently pursuing my master’s at UC Irvine, and outside of classes and studying, I have plenty of time to care for your furry loved one! I’ll make sure they get the attention, playtime, and care they need while fitting seamlessly into your daily routine. Most pets prefer a set and predictable routing, so it is important to me that I am able to provide the same routine for your pet while you're away. I will walk/feed your loved one at the same time that you normally do.

About: Two years ago, I raised a border herd with my friend. A year ago, I helped another friend foster her with her golden retriever. I love walking dogs and communicating with puppies. Now there is a Maltis dog where I live. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 4 pm When I care for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure their safety, comfort, and routine come first. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding times, portion sizes, and any medications. I provide fresh water at all times and make sure the pet has a clean, comfortable space to rest. I spend quality time with them through walks, play, or gentle interaction depending on their personality and energy level. I also keep the environment clean, monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or illness, and update the owner with photos and messages so they feel reassured.

He had no problem with accommodating their different feeding times and picky food preferences.

About: What sets me apart is my long-term, hands-on experience caring for dogs. In China, I rescued and cared for two stray dogs for over 12 years, supporting them through different life stages and gaining a deep understanding of their needs. I tailor my care to each dog’s personality, age, and daily routine, including appropriate exercise, feeding details, and emotional comfort. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of every dog, with a strong focus on safety, stability, and trust rather than quantity. I’m currently not working and can spend time with doggies all day long. I am able to provide well-rounded care to them and could spare lots of energy and love to them. I provide calm, structured, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are cared for in a clean, safe, and quiet environment with plenty of supervision. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walking, and rest, and I keep daily routines as consistent as possible to help pets feel secure. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, fresh water, timely meals, and lots of gentle attention. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I communicate promptly with owners if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s familiar routine, providing reliable care, companionship, and updates so owners can feel at ease.

About: I’m a dog lover and have had a pet in my home since I was born. We have a rescue chihuahua mix that lives back home with my parents in Illinois, and I recently provided daily care for a friend’s 3-month-old puppy for a few months. I’m active and love to have a furry friend with me on walks! I work remotely so my schedule is flexible most days. Most available during lunch hours or late afternoons! My weekends are flexible, so any time should work. I’m cautious and understand that dogs, especially puppies, can quickly get into just about anything and need constant attention! My parent’s dog is reactive, so I know how to handle dogs that need to stay away from others for their safety.

Randi is a fantastic sitter and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! She is very friendly as well as thorough and conscientious and went the extra mile to take care of my space. She also has a gift for working with cats. My shy girl has hidden from almost every sitter, but she truly loved Randi and quickly felt safe enough to be petted and brushed. It was a huge relief to see updates of my cat purring and showing her belly!

Nao's walked my dog and provided multiple drop-in visits while I was away. My dog is shy, anxious, energetic, and is far from a loose leash walker but Nao was able to handle Astra no problem and they got along really well actually which was cool because Astra is picky with her people. Nao is what you'd expect from a quality sitter: friendly, communicative, reliable, builds nice Rover Cards to enjoy while you're away, etc. Two things that stuck out to me though was that (1) Nao didn't hesitate to let me know that Astra secretly ate a chocolate covered biscuit overnight (which was my fault). Nao wasn't worried because it wasn't a lot of chocolate for Astra's size. Astra was fine. I really appreciated the honesty and calm assessment of the situation. And (2) Nao left me a fun little personalized pet report card which even had a picture of Astra on it. It was a very wholesome thing to come back to after my travels. tl;dr I trust Nao with my dog and my apartment.
