About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I don’t have pets of my own right now, but I’ve been pet sitting on and off for several years and have cared for friends’ dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters. I’ve also helped friends find new homes for their pets, including providing a temporary place for some animals to stay while they waited to go to their new home. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I take the time to get to know each pet and what makes them comfortable. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they’re well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening walks, as well as feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also regularly in two different locations throughout the week, so I’m able to provide care in both areas. I live in a small, quiet space, which provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets staying in my home. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, they would have my full attention and I can focus on making them feel safe and comfortable. I would follow the routine and instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs. I’m also able to be present and provide companionship throughout their stay.

About: I have several years experience working for a pet sitting company doing house visits and dog walking. During this time I gained a lot of great knowledge on how to properly care for cats and dogs. I've had my own pets over the years as well, I currently own 2 rabbits. During a house visit I would be sure to feed, water and take them out to potty. I would also make sure to give them plenty of attention if they like that. If you have a cat I can scoop or change litter if needed as well as keep the area clean where the litter box is stored. I am also available for 30 minute walks with your pet to make sure they get the exercise they need. I look forward to hearing from you! I have a flexible schedule, willing to work with yiy to work with you to figure out what works best for everyone with your pets needs in mind first. I am only available to care for your pet in your home, I will take great care of them and treat your home with respect.

About: Both my grandmother and brother have cats, so I’ve grown up understanding and appreciating what it takes to care for them—ensuring their enrichment, exercise, proper nutrition, and happiness. I also had the amazing opportunity to attend zoo camp, where I learned valuable skills in animal care and behavior. This experience deepened my knowledge of how to create engaging environments for pets, tailored to their needs. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and genuinely enjoy going the extra mile for animals, whether that means administering medications with care or making sure the litter box is spotless. I believe every pet deserves a happy and healthy experience, and I’m committed to providing just that!

About: I've also had cats my entire life, including raising kittens and caring for rescued cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality some want constant attention while others prefer their space. I'm experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a cat needs a little extra patience or comfort. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe in their own environment, and I'll make sure your cat receives attentive, gentle care while you're away.

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: I started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time. And, I will always treat your pet/pets as is if he or she were my own.
