40/M/Apex - I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Fenway, a Vizsla named Punkin, and now I have a 4 year old, 6lb Yorkie named Mosby. I have successfully watched a French Bulldog on a few occasions and have been referred to as the BryMCA...so there's that.

Lots of experience taking care of cats and dogs. I have pets of my own and have looked after neighborhood animals for many years. I am responsible and caring and would love to take care of your fur babies so you can relax and enjoy some time away.
“Did everything that was needed- took great care of my pets and sent pictures of their happy faces, which I loved seeing.”

I have 15+ years of childcare experience with kids of all ages, from babies through teenagers, and I’m also a former foster parent. I’m CPR certified, dependable, patient, and comfortable jumping into whatever routine works best for your family. I love keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, or just hanging out and having fun together. I’m comfortable around all kinds of animals and am happy to help with pets while I’m there. Most importantly, I want kids to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—and parents to feel confident knowing their kids are in good hands. Hobbies include music, hiking, crafts, hanging with my dog, reading, and trying to pay off some recent medical bills ;)

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
