I am an experienced pet sitter and have been taking care of animals for my entire life! I am great with dogs, cats, and other pets and can ensure they are taken care of properly.
Elaina $28 per hour for 1 child
With over 15 years of experience in pet care, I bring reliability, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities - offering everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight sitting and special care for senior pets. My background includes working with busy professionals and families who trust me to keep their pets happy, healthy, and safe while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, extra cuddles, or maintaining routines, I treat every pet like my own - ensuring peace of mind and wagging tails every time.
Alyssa $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Alyssa and I have been caring for children and pets since my early teenage years, continuing throughout my 20’s. I’m offering child care, cat care, and small dog care! My child care has included watching toddlers and kids, preparing basic meals, light cleaning, and driving to and from local destinations. My pet care has included watching animals for hours or days at a time, feeding routines, and I have owned cats and dogs my entire life! I can include all of the above in my care services, and can run errands if necessary.
