“Vanessa took great care of my dog and cat while I was away. She sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. My pets were happy and relaxed when I returned home, and the house was tidy too! Vanessa is trustworthy, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. Five stars and a big thank you!”
“Went above and beyond when we thought our house has possibly been broken in to. We are new to our area and Jackie went to our house at 3 am just to check on our house and our cats… extremely thankful for her!”
“Makayla did great , did drop in visits on my dog twice a day. She was always available for communication & shared photos too. My dog is happy & safe she did a great job following my instructions & did some things I didn’t ask or expect her to take care of. Great experience.”
“Cyndal took very good care of my cats and home and even went out of their way to help me while I was away from home. My cats loved Cyndal, which is the best part. Highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter.”
“We didn't hesitate to contact Hayley when we just needed someone to care for our kitty for one visit, because she had given excellent care during a long trip. So thankful that Hayley was available! Her diligence in not only doing essential physical things, but going beyond and gently trying to connect and give companionship to our shy cat Tribble, is so appreciated. We highly recommend Hayley, thank you!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, and am well versed in how to take care of them. I'm good at bathing, walking, and playing with the dogs. I've had experience with needing to give dogs oral medication, and with dogs that are hard to manage. I'm fairly active, so keeping up with high energy dogs shouldn't be a problem. I can cater to any other kind of special need. I'm punctual and a low key perfectionist, so I can guarantee you that your pet will be well taken care of. I’m currently working full time, and have availability for drop ins and walks in Thursday-Saturday evening, Sunday/Monday morning and evening, with availability for house sitting available Saturday-Monday as well. A calm and playful environment can be guaranteed. I currently care for 3 cats of my own and have cared for my family’s and friends my entire life.
About: From companion animals to working dogs it is amazing to be able to see the relationship we as humans can have with them. My experience spans years and I am continually learning how to better provide engaging and safe care to our many companions. It's important for me to also connect with the human companion of the animal to ensure peace of mind. I am looking forward to developing connections with both human and animal alike! I especially enjoy taking dogs to new locations and allowing them to gain new experiences. I think it is important for dogs to socialize with other dogs and value the idea of the dog park. I am a very active person and enjoy having a dog to adventure with. I’m currently in school and will have more free time around that schedule. This will allow me to have a flexible ability to provide care! I know that being away from your animal can be stressful so I make sure to follow any specific directions, update regularly and making sure above all that the pet is safe and secure.
About: Hi, I’m Tuesday! I’m a lifelong animal lover with two amazing golden retrievers I’m completely obsessed with and five cool cats who keep life interesting. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family — with lots of love, attention, and care. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to truly connect with animals on a personal level. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and routines so they feel comfortable and happy while their humans are away. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs long walks and playtime or a shy cat who needs patience and gentle encouragement, I adapt to their needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and stories so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family members are safe, loved, and having a great time. Available after 2:30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends for walks, play, and cuddles. For overnight stays, I start work at 6am, so your pets get early morning care before I head out! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your care instructions exactly to maintain a familiar, stress-free environment. I respect your space, keep routines consistent, and provide plenty of love and attention so your pup feels secure while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of different dog breeds. I have experience from puppies to seniors and Chihuahuas to mastiffs. As well as high drive dogs and dogs who suffer with fearful reactivity. I understand how important our four legged family members are. I am currently a student at SFCC. But other than that, I have all the free time in the world, and I would love to spend it with your little four-legged friend! I have a pretty open schedule as of right now I would prefer to keep your puppy comfortablein its environment so I can make drop-in and visits house calls if that is something you would prefer. I plan on keeping everything consistent and not trying to disrupt your puppy schedule.
“Jenn was amazing! This was our first time leaving our cat alone, and I was so nervous. During the Meet & Greet, seeing how genuinely caring she was, and how well she interacted with him, put our minds at ease. She took excellent care of him, and we looked forward to her daily updates. She's definitely our top choice for pet sitting.”
About: I became a first responder to care for others on their worst days. My own pup has kept me company during mine, especially when work becomes a bit stressful. Overall he has completed my little family 🐶👨👧 I wouldn't mind spending some of my free time caring for your pets. I myself have a Doberman named Achilles who is such a affectionate pup. I have spent the last year training him on obedience, commands, socialization, food aggression, leash behavior, discipline and recall. My dog is a perfect example of how my style of care is. Highlight on providing a loving environment mixed in with some structure for routine. I receive many compliments on how well behaved he is. I strongly believe that our pets reflect highly on the type of character their owner has. Dobermans are a high energy breed and require a lot of mental stimulation to maintain a healthy balance within the home. I do live an active lifestyle so physically keeping up with your pet is never an issue. Providing them with a fun and caring place to enjoy themselves is the goal. I reference my dog so that you can get a general idea of what experience has been gained. Along with the experience I have had from my childhood until an adult helping care for a wide variety of animals from strays to family members pets or friends while they were out of town. Each came with their own personality and preference on care and I can proudly say that I have been successful providing each with a high level of care while they spent time around me. The breeds I spent the most time around through family & friends would mostly be Dogs: Great Danes, Pit bulls, German shepherds, Poodles, and Dobies. Cats: Maine coon, and Tabby cats “Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.” I currently work in EMS as a first responder👨🏽🚒🚒 During the day I just work on homework or study so making time to care for your pets is no challenge at all! To be honest when I am hired to dog walk I just use it as a warm up before heading to the gym lol. When I am hired to pet sit or do a drop in, it is an excuse to just spend time around a wide variety of loving breeds which is a win to me. Anytime I am providing care to one of your pets, my goal will be aligned with what I expect from sitters when I hire them to watch my pup during trips I can't take him on. That will be to maintain that same feeling of routine and care for your pet that you provide for them.
