About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.

About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.

About: I have experience providing both overnight pet care and daily drop-in/walk visits for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and ages. I enjoy caring for animals and believe dogs thrive with consistent attention, daily exercise, and loving care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work in a school, so I currently have weekends available and I will have summer available to provide daily walks in a few weeks. Safety and fulfilling needs is my number one priority when I have a pet in my care. I will ensure that walks or visits are safe for your pet and that its needs are being met.

Mallory has watched my cat several times and always does a great job. She sends me updates and pictures and I come home to a healthy cat. She is always willing to do a quick meeting beforehand to get the keys and go over anything that has changed since the last time she watched him. Even if there’s a snow storm, I know she will make sure she gets to my cat to check on him and give him lots of treats!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life since I was young. I currently have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and spend countless hours walking, playing, and reinforcing positive behaviors through consistent training. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, and spending time with animals brings me a sense of calm and happiness, which translates into patient, attentive care for every pet I look after. I’ve also cared for a variety of dogs and cats while their owners are away, so I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to each pet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, or a calm drop-in visit, I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet will be in loving, reliable hands. I’m a full-time teacher with a consistent daily routine. I’m up early each morning for walks, and I’m home right after school to spend time playing with my dog. My schedule allows me to provide dependable morning, afternoon, and evening care. I’m also fully available on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer, which gives me plenty of flexibility to help care for your pets while you’re at work or away on vacation. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each pet’s energy level—whether that means long, active walks and play sessions or a calm visit with plenty of affection. I use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior and can help maintain any training you’re already working on. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and exercise. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and organized. I’m happy to help with basics like refreshing water, feeding, litter box or yard clean-up, light grooming, and, of course, lots of pets and cuddles to keep them happy and relaxed while you’re away.

Jasmine was my first encounter with this app and hiring a sitter. She set my mind at ease. She is very nice and caring. Our bulldog Lola seems to really like her! I will be reaching out to her again in the future when we need it.

Morgen took care of our large furpup during a family wedding away from home. Our furpup is large and requires medication every 8 hrs. Morgen was excellent, on time, responsive and such a great person. Felt 100% comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She provided drop in visits and was awesome!

Paula is fantastic!!! I had a pet siter set up for my home but she had to cancel at the last minute. So instead I took my pups with me to my VRBO and hired Paula at last minute notice. We did the meet and greet and my girls Gabby & Gracie immediately loved her. She did a few drop in visits while I was at my conference and eased my anxiety that they were in a strange home without their mom. I would recommend you hire Paula, she will treat your pets like family.
