About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.

“Paul did a fantastic job wrangling my five gingers for a long weekend, a couple of whom are scared of strangers. He genuinely cares about the animals. Definitely recommend!”


“It was an absolute pleasure to have Katherine taking care of our cats and our house! She is very organized, prompt, proactive, thoughtful, and kind. Katherine has fantastic animal intuition and quickly figured out how to make our two cats comfortable. We could tell that she quickly won over our shy cat by the wonderful pictures and videos that she sent us throughout our vacation. Katherine communicated exceptionally well: before, during, and after her stay. And from the pictures and videos, it was pretty clear that the cats were enjoying being with her and enjoying life in general, which gave us great peace of mind. She even figured out a way to easily give one of our cats his medication – a process that I have now adopted! Katherine left the house clean and tidy. We whole-heartedly recommend Katherine!”

We share our home with two senior cats and a playful young Basset Hound named Banjo. I am a nurse by profession, so I’m comfortable giving all types of medications. My boyfriend, Evan, works from home, which means there’s always someone around to give your pets undivided attention, frequent walks, and potty breaks. We're well-experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. The dogs we sit in our home must be comfortable with cats and other dogs.

“Jaime was absolutely wonderful. My plans ended up changing last minute and she was open and flexible to accommodating. She gave such beautiful pictures and updates and my kitty was so joyful and fun when I got home; she clearly had a great time!”


About: I have cared for various animals ever since I was in high school. I’ve had experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles as well. I have pets of my own and love them very much, so providing the best care I can for others is my top priority! I’ve dealt with reactive dogs and aggressive cats before and know effective ways in ensuring care and safety. I have a part time job right now, so I have ample time to attend to your pet’s needs. I’ll be sure to update my calendar in advance with my schedule. I always use a leash when going outside with a dog. I don’t want to take any chances of them running away. I’ll follow any instructions you have laid out for me.

“Lauren took excellent care of our pets during a recent trip. She was timely, had great communication, and made sure she knew all of the care details in advance. She even took in all of our packages while we were away! Definitely would re-book next time we need a sitter!”



About: Dogs are a marvelous source of companionship. I show them compassion and are attentive to their needs. I enjoy running with dogs, playing fetch, holding, and petting dogs. I have experience in playing with dogs, grooming, bathing, feeding, and walking dogs. While growing as a young child, my dad brought home various dogs at sundry times. I was the dog's main caregiver. My mother eventually would release the dogs because she did not like them, but I was able to build a solid experience and bond with them before she did. In Jamaica where my parents were born, their are many outdoor dogs roaming the streets. I easily befriend them and usually play with them and feed them. My schedule is flexible with me usually being available in the morning. If the price for my service is not suitable for you, I am open for negotiation. Call or text me. God bless you and your family.

About: I’ve owned pets, cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters, my entire life. I adopted my own cat about a year ago after moving out on my own. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, no matter the breed or species. I have experience caring for elderly animals as well as kittens/puppies. I have no issue accommodating to an animals needs, whether that be strict feeding routines, allergies, medication regimens, etc. I am very patient and understanding when it comes to animals needs. My schedule is currently very open! I can accept appointments relatively last minute, although I do appreciate a day in advance notice. I’m very flexible and willing to work with your schedule! I will not be doing any boarding/sitting from my own personal home. In terms of safety protocols for my clients home, I plan on paying very close attention to the animal at all times. I will not let the animal out of my sight when going outside to use the bathroom. I also plan to take note of any food allergies, health issues/accommodations, etc. to ensure the animal is well taken care of.
