We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”

Dyan communicated with us the whole time we were gone and sent pictures based on our preferences to make sure we were comfortable with how things were going. She is very responsive to messages and so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend booking with her - I am already rebooking with her”

“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around!

About: I love pets, they are the cutest addition to our lives. I have a dog of my own, she is 2 1/2 years old, very playful and friendly. I have had pets since childhood and love taking care of them, we have a house and a fenced yard, hence your pup is safe to play outdoors whenever they want. They are allowed on furniture too. Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors. Will love to give them a safe place when they’re away from home 🏡

About: I have experience with animals who have special needs. It can be stressful thinking about leaving your pet. Especially if they are on a special diet or in need of medication. I know how important this is to follow. I work full time with 2 days off a week. However, I live just 10 minutes away from work. I am able to check on your pet during my lunch break. I only take one animal in at a time, unless they are from the same household. I live in a condo. We have plenty of sidewalks and grass areas to walk your fur baby. I will make sure they have their feedings, and leave out water during the day. We will watch TV together in the evening. At bedtime I allow the animal to sleep in bed with me. I want your pet to feel like this is their second home.

“Christle was the best find for us hands down,Astro was treated like family the whole time he stayed with her. In the past we had to leave him at a kennel, and every time we picked him up he wanted to bolt out the door and run. With Christle it was a completely different story. He was happy and relaxed when we came to get him, not stressed at all. We got regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which meant the world to us. Astro also celebrated events with Christle and her family, like he was one of their own. :) :) Thank you Christle, to you and your family, for taking such good care of my son!”

About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for critters all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have had cats of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your cat needs some playtime to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve!

About: As any parent would, I was only allowed to get a cat if I promised to be the one taking care of them. I've been taking care of cats solely since I was 11 years old. I've dropped in for friends and family, cleaned litter boxes, hung out and played with, or just made sure they were still alive if they didn't want to be bothered 😁 Your cat will be in the safe hands of someone that respects all boundaries cats set!

About: I’ve had cats every day of my life, from the day I was born through today! Cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love their unique personalities and the companionship they bring. I’m currently the proud owner of Charlie, my sweet senior kitty, who has taught me so much about caring for an older cat and appreciating all their little quirks. I’ve also cared for friends’ and church members’ cats while they’ve been away, including feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, playtime, and lots of love and attention. 🐾❤️

“Ashley has been an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Mia Cristina. She is consistently punctual, dependable, and clearly truly cares about Mia’s comfort and well-being. From the start, it felt like Mia was in great hands. Communication was excellent. Ashley sent updates all day, including photos and thoughtful comments, so I always knew exactly how Mia was doing—what she was up to, how she was feeling, and how the day was going. She’s professional and attentive. She followed my instructions carefully, treated Mia with care, and made the whole experience stress-free for me while I was away. A+ recommendation. I couldn’t be happier with the service and will absolutely book Ashley again. If you want someone punctual, warm, and great at keeping you updated (with photos and comments all day), Ash is the one.”

About: Your dog is more than a pet — they’re family. We provide a warm, loving, and secure environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

About: My fiancé and I are lifelong dog lovers who share our home with Maple, our golden retriever. I trained her myself, and she’s earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification — a reflection of the structure and consistency I bring to every dog I care for. I work from home full-time and intentionally keep bookings low-volume, typically accepting one dog at a time. This means individualized attention, regular outdoor breaks and walks, and a genuinely calm environment — not a house full of competing dogs. I have experience with large breeds like goldens and labs, as well as senior dogs who do best with quieter, personalized care. Cleanliness, safety, and reliability guide everything I do, and my goal is for every dog to feel like part of the household during their stay. I work from home during the week, so dogs are rarely left alone and follow a consistent daily rhythm of potty breaks, walks, rest, and supervision. Because I keep bookings low-volume, my availability is limited — I’d rather do fewer stays exceptionally well than take on more than I can give full attention to. My schedule works best for adult dogs already comfortable with a calm, structured routine. To make sure it’s a good fit for everyone, I typically accept dogs that are house trained, crate trained, friendly with people and other dogs, and able to settle calmly indoors. One note on our setup: our yard isn’t fenced, so all outdoor time is on-leash — this is part of how I maintain safety and consistency throughout the stay.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats solely since I was 11 years old. We got both my cat and dog when they were just babies, and I cared for them into their senior years as well. I administered pills for both, and general young, teen, adult, and senior care. I also grew up watching both cats and dogs for friends and family! Your pet will be in great care of someone who treats them like family 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the week, so I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine! I'm available for walks and drop in visits on both weekdays and weekends. While I'm not available for overnight stays or weekend house sitting, I'd be happy to stop by throughout the day to make sure your pets get plenty of care, attention, and company while you're away. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for while you're away! To keep my own cats comfortable and stress free, I provide care in my clients' home rather than bringing pets into my apartment. With that said, I treat your home with the same respect as my own, and I'll always follow your instructions and your pets usual routine. I'm also happy to provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Depending on needs, I'm happy to take dogs for walks, let them outside, give them food and fresh water, clean up after them, play and give them company and attention. For cats, I can take care of feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, and cuddles... or personal space if that's what they prefer 🐾

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up with cats and have continued to have cats throughout my life, and I’ve also had dogs as an adult. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends, family, and people from my church, including both dogs and cats. I’ve done drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and general companionship, and I’ve also welcomed dogs into my own home for stays. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick drop-in, a meal and some company, or just someone to make sure they’re okay while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! 🐾 I work during the day Monday through Friday, but I have some flexibility around lunchtime for drop-in visits. I’m also available for evening visits and walks after work, as well as weekends. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine! 🐾 I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and keep their normal routine while their family is away. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for at home.

My dogs adore her and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of canine care is extensive and helpful. The peace of mind in knowing that my dogs are well cared for is priceless.”

About: Hi! I’m a passionate, reliable pet caregiver who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, fun playtime, or attentive care while you're away, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's preferred routine, send prompt photo updates, and make sure they get plenty of affection so you have complete peace of mind. I look forward to giving your furry friends the loving care they deserve! I have lots of time on weekdays and specially weekends. I love to spend time with the fur friends so I always make it work with the plans. When caring for pets in a client’s home, the main goal is keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy in their own familiar surroundings. Each visit involves feeding meals on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after dogs, and ensuring secure surroundings. Depending on the animal, time is spent going on walks, playing with favorite toys, offering gentle affection, or simply providing quiet companionship to prevent separation anxiety. Daily photo updates and brief summaries are provided after every visit so owners have full peace of mind while away.

About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25. In the past I've had pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and fish of my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved. When you trust me to care for your dog, I show up with love, respect, and attention to detail — all in the comfort of your dog’s familiar surroundings. 🐶 In-Home Peace of Mind: I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit, taking your pup for a walk, or staying overnight, I follow your routine closely to minimize stress and keep your dog calm and happy. 🦴 Personalized, Gentle Care: I specialize in small breeds and have over 10 years of experience. From meal schedules and potty routines to medication or calming techniques, I provide care tailored to your dog’s specific needs. 🚶🏽‍♀️ Safe & Engaging Walks: Walks are done one-on-one in familiar areas, with close attention to your pet’s energy level, leash behavior, and comfort. I avoid crowded dog parks or risky environments to keep your dog safe. 📝 Trustworthy & Transparent: I communicate clearly, provide updates, and send photos during every visit. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

Astro also celebrated events with Christle and her family, like he was one of their own. :) :) Thank you Christle, to you and your family, for taking such good care of my son!”

“Sherry was a wonderful sitter for our Labradoodle! She met us twice before our dog’s first stay so our dog could get comfortable with her and her home prior to being left in a new place. She was so friendly and accommodating and took our dog for regular walks in the park near her house. She also sent us daily pictures and updates about all the fun they were having together, which were reassuring while we were away. Would absolutely recommend Sherry and would would certainly use her services again!”

About: Your dog is more than a pet — they’re family. We provide a warm, loving, and secure environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

“If you need a pet sitter - Pauline is your girl!! I can’t thank her enough for hosting my two dogs in her home for the night. I received photos & an update within 30 minutes of dropping them off - & without having to check in myself - which I absolutely loved & appreciated. I then received updates all throughout the day which is exactly what I needed! She was VERY attentive to the dogs, asked about/followed their normal routine & updated me if she sensed anything was wrong or if the dogs seemed uncomfortable (one of them was exhibiting signs of an ear infection). I know my dogs were well taken care of and enjoyed their stay. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we are so very grateful to Pauline!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong breeds, and dogs with unique needs or routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and will always follow your care instructions carefully. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, cared for, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work Monday-Thursdays at my full time job but work around it to care for your pets! I’m off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for more attentive care but also can do pop ins and walks during the week as well depending on distance. I have three dogs and a cat in my own home. They are all very friendly but can be separated from your pet if needed! I have a fenced in yard as well and extra crates. Whether your animals come to my house or I come to yours they will be cared for like they’re my own. I’m very picky with who I let take care of my own dogs and I understand that every dog has different needs that should be upheld.
