Pet Sitter

Responds within a day

Hi, I'm a big animal lover would like to get some pet sitting jobs. I'm 53 years old, dependable and responsible. I've had cats my whole life, although I love dogs just as much, and can take care of them as well. I'm very nurturing, and capable of giving you pet all the love and attention he or she needs. I also will clean up after your pet as needed. I'm not one to leave dog poo on the ground or a litter box dirty. I clean my cat's litter box every day.

My boyfriend and I had an elderly dog who needed round-the-clock care. We didn't want to hire just anyone for the job so I did a bunch of interviews and finally met Melissa. She was a heaven-sent, not only did she take extremely great care of our beloved Eddie, who has now passed, but she went above and beyond for his needs every time we used her. I highly recommend Melissa for any animal care even infant care as I would trust her with my own, if I had children:) Thank you, Melissa for giving us peace and comfort when we needed it the most, knowing that our little man was in the best hands possible.

Sofie The Happy Pet Sitter

Responds within half an hour

I can provide dog sitting and walks at your home. I have 3 year of paid dog sitting experience and 4 years of unpaid experience. During college I would pet sit during my free time since I didn't have the time to own a fur baby of my own. I have grown up and taken care of pets my whole life so this is really a fun part time job! I can also perform baths and light grooming if needed. I also use an app to dog sit on & have regular clients as well as reviews on there.

Dog Walking, Pet Sitting

Responds within a few hours

Growing up in a house full of pets I became comfortable at taking care of dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I frequently care for a friend's cat when she travels for work. Until recently we had a very friendly 70 lb, 10-year-old, sweet and loving dog named Lulu who loved when we took her on walks and hikes. I can also perform baths and brushing. We have two little (human) boys ages 8 and 5 and they are very caring and gentle with animals.

Joanna has been great helping us when we both have to travel for work or vacation. She takes care of our plants, mail & package delivery, odds and ends around the house and the "bossy cat" who really runs the place :) We can always trust her, she's reliable and she always take care of the little things that bring us comfort when we're on the road.

Part-Time Pet Care

I have a long history caring for pets, particularly dogs. I've always had dogs of my own since before I can remember, but have also cared for other people's dogs as well. The care I provided included giving food, water, and medicine as well as a small amount of exercise.

Responsible And Caring Pet Sitter

I can provide excellent pet sitting services in your own home. I am an experienced veterinary technician with great references and years of experience. Through my time working at Animal Hospital, I gained training on handling not only cats and dogs but birds, lizards, turtles, ferrets, rats, and guinea pigs. I am a "cat lady" but love all animals no matter the species. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter as a foster mom, taking home animals that were either too young or sick/injured to be placed for adoption. These positions taught me how to trim nails, and administer medicine (topical or oral). I recently graduated from Texas State University with a BS in Wildlife Biology.

Part-Time Pet Care Provider

Responds within a day

*I am only available to work week nights and weekends. I'm also available on short notice.* I am mostly experienced in dog and cat care, but I am open to watching other animals as well. I currently have two cats and a puppy. I am available for boarding as long as you are fine with the other animals in the house. My house has a spare room that we use exclusively for the pets, so your pet would have total access to the room or could roam the house if they prefer. Whatever your preference is, I can accommodate it. I love walking pets and am very comfortable with any outdoor activities. I am a proud foster Mom. I've cared for pregnant cats, even helping them give birth. I've cared for numerous newborn kittens as well as young dogs. My days and times are flexible. Please let me know if you have questions!

Melissa was a great option for taking care of our cat over the holidays. I felt reassured knowing that she has a cat of her own and has experience taking care of them. She gave us lots of updates which helped keep my peace of mind while I was out of town.

Part-Time Pet/House Sitter

Responds within 4 hours

Hi! My name is Raelle. I started my journey house and pet sitting nearly two years ago. I have pet/house sat for close friends, members from my church, and eventually, by word of mouth. I have watched a variety of breeds, from small dogs (such as Yorkies) to larger dogs (such a Labradors and Golden Retrievers). I love taking time to play with my pet friends, take them for walks, and give them medications if they have any special medical needs. I find it very important to keep them on their current regimen as much as I possibly can. If you are looking for a pet/house sitter, I'm your gal!

5 Stars - Not Your Average Pet Sitter!

I love animals and will treat them as my own. I have been a volunteer in dog rescues/fostering, etc... I have horse sitting experience as well. I can also sit for cats! I am very willing to stay over with your pets if needed as I don't have other commitments that conflict for overnight stays. I am trustworthy and dependable/reliable. I have been background checked many times since I am a former USA Swim coach and had child protective services, etc... all done. Have several clients that are lawyers, so that should tell you a lot about me!
