About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the home since I was 2 years old. I’ve also walked multiple of my neighbors dogs. I now own one big Siberian husky! I am currently a college student with available nights and have a lot of free time! I can even stop by in between my college classes if needed I am flexible and have transportation as well! I treat any animal like my own. I have two cats and one dog and they come before my needs. I love and care for any animal.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was little and started taking care of other peoples beloved animals since I was 16 years old. Many neighbors, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to walk, feed, love on, and take care of their wonderful pets. I also recently raised a puppy and have a lot of knowledge on how to care for a young dog and their different developmental stages. I am a 1st year Masters of Fine Arts in acting candidate at UC Irvine which has kept me pretty busy and I greatly miss having furry friends around. I am sometimes busy during the weekday mornings but am available in the late afternoons and evenings. On Friday and during the weekends I’m usually very open and would love to spend time with your pets! I am Cat and Dog CPR & First Aid Certified. As a pet owner myself (they are family pets so I don’t currently live with them) I know how important it is to find the right pet sitter as well as how nerve wracking it can be to leave your beloved pet in the hands of someone new. I always want someone who will take amazing care of my dog, Remi and my cats, Abby and Jessie, and love them as if my pets were their own. This is the philosophy I live by when pet sitting. It is also very important to me that the animal feels loved while their owner is away and trusts me as a reliable and fun sitter. When caring for dogs I walk them multiple times a day, maintain their normal feeding schedules, and socialize as well as play with them many times per day. When caring for cats I clean their litter each day, maintain their feeding schedules, play with them, and of course, sunbathe with them. I am comfortable with staying in one’s home while petsitting and can do simple house keeping tasks such as watering plants.

About: Animals are my life. I have two fur babies of my own. I love spending time with them. I’ve had pets all my life. Pets make a house a home. When you feed them the best things, give them good medical care, tell them daily that they are loved, the love they give you back to you is priceless. I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure the pet is HAPPY when under my watch. Comfort is important when being away from your family. Flexible schedule allows me to have maximum flexibility. Respect your care plan for your pet. Communication to comfort owners who are away from their pets for extended periods. Can request check ins by phone facetime, email or text. Let me know ahead of time if need. I have spacious, fenced in backyard for dogs to run around safely, or a scratching post tree for cats to climb on, to sleep in and to sharpen their nails on. I want the best for your pet. I want to ensure that you have peace of mind while you’re away. I will take care of them as my own. Pretty flexible with any schedule request. When booking your pet will be with me at all time and never be left alone. Just would need some notice ahead of time to prepare to accommodate requests. I live with my 8 month old puppy and 3 month old cat. I let them roam free so pet friendly is a plus. If not I can crate them if necessary during your booking. We also have a dog pen and gates thoughout the house. Keeping a calm and safe comfortable loving environment is my top priority. Firstly I have all the yummy treats to share. Any restrictions let me know. My dog favorite thing right now is dried herring fish and dole biscuits. She also like beef booties filled with pumpkin and sweet potato. Daily supplements. She has regular grooming once a month. I have more toys than can count. Her favorite toys are balls. The yard is fenced in and she has multiple beds throughout the house but also we allow her in our bed. We have doggie wipes and get a good brushing with coconut oil before bed.

About: My husband and I have raised kittens and puppies for the past 20+ years. Our children all have had jobs pet sitting for multiple people. Our family honestly just loves animals, so we figured why not earn some extra money to put towards family getaways, doing what we love. Plus it gives us a chance to do something together! Between myself and the 5 other family members in my home, we can figure out a way to accommodate the needs for your pet. Plus most of us drive so we can provide transport or easily come to you:) We have a large yard for your pet to play, and a great neighborhood with side walks to take for walks. We love playing with animals and cuddles, but we also have enough space in our home if you’d like your pet more secluded.

“Haley is great with my big bulldog, my kitties. I'll be booking her for future dates. She made sure to learn all about my sensitive bulldog and she has lots of animal experience.”

Madelyn N.
“Maddy has been one of the most passionate and caring pet sitters we have ever used. She understands that pets ARE family and treats them as such. We have two dogs, three cats, and used to have a bunny. She has followed every instruction left for her and is extremely conscientious, not only with our pets but with our home as well. We rely on her for house sitting, but also for drop-in and walks while we are working or traveling. She is a great communicator and sends pics and stories. She also brings to our immediate attention any issues. Both dogs require meds and she routinely administers the medications. I love, but hate to travel without our pets, and Maddy makes it so I can enjoy my time away and not have to worry so much about the family members I am leaving behind.”

Anina B.
“Anina is an incredible pet caregiver. She has catsit for me several times, and she has always made me feel like my pets are safe, loved, and in capable hands. Even my skittish Siamese cat loves her - which is saying a lot! He runs to her now when he sees her. Once while I was out of town, one of my cats had a medical emergency while with a different sitter. Anina had a very busy schedule, but when I called her, she took the time to drive over an hour to my apartment to assist the sitter, take my cat to the vet, and make sure everything was okay. She truly goes above and beyond, and I would highly recommend her to any pet parent.”
