About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care from a Lifelong Animal Advocate I specialize in caring for your fur friend IN YOUR HOME ONLY Over 25 Years of Experience | Calm Presence | Gentle, Attentive Care Hello! I'm a retired Nurse's Aide and lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet care experience—and a soft spot for furry companions of all ages. Whether it’s a shy cat or a senior pet needing special attention, I offer a calm, reliable presence and a deep well of experience. I’ve cared for dogs and indoor cats. My approach? Gentle, observant, patient, and full of love. Why choose me? I’m home full-time, so your pet will get consistent, one-on-one attention. I understand animal behavior and respond with kindness, not force. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for aging pets. I treat every animal like family - because they are. Families often say I’m the kind of sitter they don’t have to worry about - because they know their pets are truly in good hands. If you're looking for someone with old-school reliability and a heart full of love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your pet. Let’s connect, I’d love to meet you and your furry friend. I’m retired and home most of the day, which means your pet will have a calm, steady presence and attentive care. I shape my schedule around their needs, feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just quiet company. Mornings and evenings are reserved for routine care, while afternoons often include one-on-one time, enrichment, or simply being nearby so your pet feels secure. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in - it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Your fur friend's comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, secure environment with clear routines and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and needs - so I can respond with confidence and kindness. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routines. I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send updates so you’re never left wondering. Trust isn’t assumed. It’s earned - through consistency, care, and respect for both pets and people.

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. My family recently got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

“Bree was excellent with our Frenchie! She provided communication, and photos, and met Gus’s needs for attention, to help with his separation anxiety! She really saved us, as we were in a pinch, and in need of a last-minute sitter. I would gladly recommend her, for future reference.”


About: I love and get along with most animals. Would love to add some play time, or lap sitting time when I visit to care for your pet. I am recently retired and looking forward to creating my own schedule. Being home more lets me love on my cats more, and I look forward to spending time visiting/playing/caring for your pet. My own cats are fed 2x daily & snacked at least once / day. Litter boxes are cleaned 2x daily. Your pets needs will be a priority for me.

“Paige was very sweet and my dogs didn't act like they missed me all that much! Would definitely recommend - she is thorough and I will ask for her services again in the future. Thanks!”


About: I currently have a Golden Retriever who is 6 years old. He has changed my life entirely in the best ways ever and has also made me more responsible and patient. Apart from that I have always loved dog-sitting for any family member’s pet and therefore I would want to extend my care and services for others! I am currently working part time and I am also a university student too! I am able to care for your furry friend during the weekends when you need time for yourself :) I care for pets specifically catering towards their needs as well as actively making sure I stick to their routines. Whether that be being fed, walked, or taken out for a potty break at specific times I will do it for them to keep up with their schedules and to feel comfortable.

About: I managed a pet store for 7 years. Handling dogs helping a groomer. I checked them in for appointments and checked them out for pick ups. Depends on what is needed. I work part time. I also work around my bookings. I’m very flexible. When I dog sit I make it all about the dog and treat them as if they are children. I prefer your home. I care for them by whatever directions or schedule you prefer if there on a routine or not. I love your dogs as if they were mine.

“She is perfect! She responded quickly and even tho I was booking last minute she fit me in to her schedule. Our first time I booked an in home visit and a 30 minute walk with Ann, I had seen such a huge difference in my dog queen when I got home! Not only that but I had went outside for break and just so happened to see her and Queen walking across the street. I got to see how nice and soft-spoken she was to queen and how safe and attentive she was towards her.I am extremely satisfied and and will be booking regular weekly visits! She is great with animals and I highly recommend her. I can't express enough how grateful I am and how much of a difference she made for queen.❤️❤️”

“Jennifer would make a great pet sitter for anyone's pet, she's a very caring person for humans and animals. Although, she's never taken care of my animals, I know that she does whatever needs to be done for her own cat. She did animals for fair for many years and I know she cares about animals and humans alike.”

We trust Melissa while at our home and with Sasha. She loves spoiling her with treats, toys and kisses! We would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love on their fur baby!”
