About: My Pet Care Experience Growing up, I had the joy of sharing my life with a variety of pets, each teaching me something unique about responsibility, empathy, and companionship. Over the years, I’ve cared for hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, and turtles, and every one of them left a lasting impact on me. As a child, my hamsters taught me patience and attentiveness through their delicate care needs. Feeding them the right diet and cleaning their habitat were my first lessons in responsibility. With dogs and cats, I learned the importance of building trust and providing unconditional love. They showed me how meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Bunnies and turtles required different forms of care, from maintaining specific diets to creating environments that matched their natural habitats. These experiences taught me how to adapt and tailor my care to meet the needs of each pet. Even caring for fish required a level of diligence, as maintaining a clean tank and balanced water conditions was essential for their well-being. Now, as an adult, I deeply appreciate how much these experiences shaped my understanding of what it means to care for animals. Pets aren’t just companions; they’re beings that rely on us for their health, happiness, and safety. This realization drives my dedication to providing the best care possible for my current and future pets. Whether it’s ensuring they receive proper nutrition, regular vet check-ups, or just spending quality time with them, I believe that having pets is both a privilege and a commitment. Caring for animals has not only made me more responsible but has also brought immense joy and fulfillment into my life. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine, and I always make time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Currently, as a student on vacation, I have plenty of free time during the holidays to dedicate to their care, including playing with them, grooming, and keeping their spaces clean. During the semester, I usually have classes in the mornings, but my afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me a flexible schedule to provide attention, exercise, and care for the pets. I enjoy creating a balance between my responsibilities and spending quality time with them, as I believe this is key to building a strong bond and keeping them content. I am very responsible when it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I always prioritize building trust with the pet, creating a bond that ensures they feel safe and comfortable with me. The place where I live is fenced and quiet, making it a safe environment for pets. However, I understand that pets often feel more comfortable staying in their own home, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. For this reason, I am more than happy to care for them at their place if that’s preferred. Regardless of the location, I make sure to follow their specific routines, provide plenty of playtime and attention, and ensure their needs are met with love and care.

About: I have taken care of my friends’ Shiba Inu dog for over three years whenever my friends are away. I have housed the dog, walked the dog multiple times every day. The dog only eats fresh food ( carrots, beef, pumpkin etc) so I steam the food every day. The dog recently had glaucoma so I also followed instructions to give eyedrops three times a day. I currently work from home a few days a week. I can drop in to care for your pet from early morning to late afternoons. I will follow instructions from client and not touch or disturb anything while I conduct the service or walk the dog. If I house a pet, I focus on creating a safe and calm environment away from home.

Chaarushena has been wonderful with our 8 year old dog who gets very anxious with new people. She’s patient, reliable, and clearly understands dogs well. Our dog took some time to warm up to her, but by the end of the visit was happy to go on her walk. Chaarushena has a calm, confident approach that we really appreciated. We’re would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help walking their pup!

About: Hello! I'm a caring, reliable pet sitter with years of hands-on experience and a genuine passion for furry friends. For the past 10 years, I've provided attentive, in-home pet care— including feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, and plenty of affection — for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, snakes, fish and other beloved pets. My 15-year-old son joins me on the overnight visits, and families consistently praise how loving, responsible, and gentle he is with the pets (over 80 five-star reviews). Together we treat every animal like part of the family, always following your specific routines to keep them happy, secure, and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient, trustworthy, detail-oriented, and truly enjoy bringing joy and comfort to your pets. I'd be honored to care for your furry family member — let's connect! I'm a remote free-lancer, so pet sitting fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I dedicate my time to providing attentive, personalized care — including regular walks, feeding, play, grooming touch-ups, and medication if needed — while strictly following each pet’s established habits. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliably available for drop-ins, full days, or extended stays, ensuring your pets receive consistent love and attention. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — whether I'm caring for them in your home or (for select services) welcoming them into mine.

About: I am an animal lover who can not wait to meet you and your dog(s) and/or cat(s). I am ready to give your furry family members lots of attention and affection and go for tons of walks! We can walk around the neighborhood or go to a local dog park. I am a proud cat mom to two senior kitties, one DSH and one Persian. I have been pet sitting for 18 years for dogs of all sizes and breeds from 4lb chihuahuas to 100lb Labrador retrievers as well as cats of all ages. I am comfortable with any age from puppy to senior dogs and have experience administering oral medications to dogs and cats. I have past experience volunteering weekly as a dog walker for an animal shelter and it gave me a ton of exposure to many different breeds and temperaments of dogs. Let me know if you have any questions! I work outside of the home on weekdays in the afternoons and evenings, but I’m usually otherwise home and available to give your pets lots of love and attention in the mornings and early afternoons as well as late evenings and weekends! I am comfortable following whatever routines you have established, including crating dogs if that’s what works for you and your family. I am always careful to secure your home and make an effort to leave the house in the same condition (or better) than I found it!

Ryan was the perfect person for the job! I have a 4 month old shelter puppy who I needed a dog walker shortly after bringing her home. My dog was still decompressing, afraid of everything, and quick to get defensive, but she immediately took to Ryan. Ryan was super communicative and great with managing my dog’s individual challenges including taking the extra time to get her to pee outside during our journey of house breaking and leaving my apartment clean when she had accidents. She even bought her a toy that has quickly become her favorite. You’ll have a great experience with Ryan but I call dibs :)
