My cat care includes: • Feeding on schedule and refreshing water daily • Litter box cleaning and tidy-up so your home stays fresh • Administering oral medications (if needed) with patience and care • Play sessions for exercise and enrichment (wand toys, feather teasers, etc.) • Gentle affection and companionship, respecting each cat’s boundaries • Daily updates with photos, so you always know how your kitty is doing I’ve cared for kittens, senior cats, and everything in between.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was about 5 or 6 ! To neighborhood cats to friend cats . I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and care I give each cat as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and what makes them comfortable, since cats can be very particular about their environment and people. I’m patient with shy cats, playful with energetic ones, and always make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their cat is being well cared for. My goal is to make every cat feel like they’re still in their normal routine and getting the same love and attention they would from their owner
About: I’m a loving and compassionate cat owner who understands how important it is for cats to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to individual personalities and enjoy giving them plenty of playtime and patience. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away!

“The kitties told us she was amazing! They even tried to play hide and seek with her, but she was too good for them. Patricia also played with them using their favorite toys. Thanks, Patricia, for making our kitties happy during our time away.”
About: I absolutely love animals, and as a dog owner and RN who works long hours, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby. I love taking dogs for walks and will take the safety and well-being of your pet very seriously. I grew up with animals and have always loved caring for them. Some of my first jobs were house-sitting for clients, so I have experience being responsible for pets and homes while their owners are away. I would love the opportunity to chat with you about your needs and learn more about your fur baby! I currently only work three days a week so my schedule is flexible. I am willing to work with you to meet the needs of your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other care instructions. I also understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent and give them plenty of attention and affection.

Desi was quick to respond to our request (as I booked the day before) and made our first doggy day care experience very easy! She sent numerous pictures of our dogs while they were under her care. When I picked them up they were just as happy as they were when we dropped them off. Thank you so much Desi for taking care of our babies! We will be sure to reach out again when we are in town!”
About: I grew up having cats and reptiles but I've always wanted a dog to have around. I want to experience what it would be like to have a dog so I can finally own one of my own one day. I love animals I wanted to become a vet when I was younger. I have a tortoise right now which is a good pet because they can live very long. I want to eventually own a farm and raise farm animal's when I get older. I use to also own fish and have a gecko as well. My children also take to animal's very well because they are kind and gentle souls like me. I want to provide an excellent service to anyone that needs it.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life! I currently have my own Belgian Malinois who adores humans and other dogs. She gets along with every dog she's been around, so she would be with me if I watched your babies! In the past I have worked at Greenlin Kennel where I have experience with multiple breeds. Pit bulls and bigger dogs included, I love them all. I have experience working there administering medicine to some of the older dogs, but I have experience with cats as well due to my own taking medicine. I have dog sat in the past for family friends, and i am able to overnight watch as well since I have a 2 bed apartment and plenty of space! I am free anytime as well during the day if you need someone to let your dog out for some fresh air and a walk as well. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully taking care of your fur babies!(: I just moved to the area, so I have plenty of free time to watch your babies and take them out during the day if need be! I have a friendly pup who loves to play with any size dog! I don't have a fenced yard, but there is a massive dog park by me that I can take the dogs to play at if allowed!

I usually go for a walk or run first thing in the morning and would love to have a buddy for that. I am also open to dogs that are older and need some extra time and attention.

She was so quick to reply, so flexible with times and above all, so so wonderful w Winnie. So much playing in a fenced yard snd cuddling in the AC—I’m sure coming back to us was a disappointment for Winnie!! I wish there was a choice for 10 stars because that’s what she is.”

About: I have three dogs — a senior, a teenager, and a pup — so I understand energy levels at every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve trained all of them myself and know that different breeds need different things, especially mental stimulation. I make sure my dogs get that stimulation daily so they feel like they have a job, which has really helped with anxiety. I’ve also had a cat and volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated just like one of my own. I’m also a college student, so when I’m not in class I’m happy to come take care of your pets. I know your schedule matters, so I stay flexible and work around whatever timing suits you best. Your pet’s safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routines, keep an eye out for anything unfamiliar, and make sure doors and gates stay secure. With my own three dogs, I’m used to managing different temperaments and energy levels safely together, and my time volunteering at animal shelters taught me how to stay calm and attentive with pets I’m just getting to know. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

I work out a lot so bigger dogs won't be an issue either. I will take care of all pets to the best of my ability.

I have experience caring for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, fish and even some reptiles.

I’m available seven days a week and can do early mornings or late evenings to make sure your pet gets all the care and attention they need! I care for your pets right in the comfort of their own home so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or litter box care, I follow your instructions carefully to keep their routine just right.

Plus, I’m happy to send you regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind and keep you connected while you’re apart!
About: PLEASE READ OUR PROFILE FIRST BEFORE MESSAGING WITH QUESTIONS AS THIS WILL MOST LIKELY ANSWER YOUR MOST COMMON QUESTIONS AND HELP YOU FIGURE OUT IF THIS WILL BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR PET! ** My name is Brayden! I am married to my beautiful wife, Samantha and we have 4 dogs of our own (a Great Dane and 3 labs) and live with our two youngest children (13 and 17). We have grown up with dogs all of our lives and have the BIGGEST soft spot for animals of any kind. We enjoy being around animals because they make us laugh, smile, and generally just feel good. I have been in professional pet sitting for 20 years, 8 of which have been on Rover/private LLC. While I no longer offer boarding and daycare, I would LOVE to come and spoil your fur babies ant your place. In addition to dog walking as a business, we are involved in real estate and mental health counseling. In our free time we love being on the beach, jeep riding, riding our golf cart around, fishing, out on our boat, kayaking, or just relaxing and taking in the beautiful sunsets. We are highly experienced with over 20 years of caring for pets. I have experience with all kinds of pets from Great Danes and cats, to rabbits, birds, and snakes. I have extensive experience with a wide variety of animals. Pet Care has been my primary source of income for the past 8 years. As of writing this I am currently in Grad School getting my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling as well as building my real estate career. Anyone that knows me will tell you that animals are a huge part of my life. I love spending time with them and being around them. It is very rewarding for me. I have experience with all kinds of animals and I have an immense amount of patience for puppies.

About: Having been around and owned different animals all my life, I have years of experience with dog routines, feeding schedules, training habits and cuddles. I enjoy playing fetch and walking my pup daily and would love to include yours! I'm a stay at home mom so I'm around all the time for all your pets needs. I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly Lab and daughter that will keep your pup company. Going for walks or runs in the mornings with plenty of fetch in the backyard is a good day here.

“Walker has some unexpected challenges while staying with Hilary and we felt that she navigated them well and also communicated them clearly. You don’t know what you don’t know sometimes! Our dog got plenty of exercise and playtime while there even though he had to stay crated more than usual. We were very pleased with Hilary!”

“Haley and her sweet daughter entertained my puppy really well during a short stay. He was on the last two days of his neutering care and she still accepted the job. He was fine at pickup as well. I appreciated the frequent communication and photos. And Haley took the time to find an item at the grocery store that he might like since he was being a picky eater and reviewed it with me. I had peace of mind during my work retreat in knowing that my puppy was in great hands.”
About: I have three dogs — a senior, a teenager, and a pup — so I understand energy levels at every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve trained all of them myself and know that different breeds need different things, especially mental stimulation. I make sure my dogs get that stimulation daily so they feel like they have a job, which has really helped with anxiety. I’ve also had a cat and volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated just like one of my own. I’m also a college student, so when I’m not in class I’m happy to come take care of your pets. I know your schedule matters, so I stay flexible and work around whatever timing suits you best. Your pet’s safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routines, keep an eye out for anything unfamiliar, and make sure doors and gates stay secure. With my own three dogs, I’m used to managing different temperaments and energy levels safely together, and my time volunteering at animal shelters taught me how to stay calm and attentive with pets I’m just getting to know. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Allie was so kind and amazing! Poppy loved her time at Allie’s house. She had so many friends to play with and had a blast! Allie is so gracious to send updates throughout her stay and pictures, which we loved! We will definitely be using Allie again for our boarding, and even day care!”
“Carey was wonderful with Jager! She was extremely responsive, friendly, and kept me well updated with photos throughout his stay. It was clear her whole family showered my fur baby with love. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent, prompt, communications. Andrea was amenable to a pre-stay visit to ensure dogs were compatible with the environment. Dogs received excellent care during their stay and Andrea was willing to flex on the pick-up date when our return travel was delayed.”
