Esther $14 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable and attentive pet and house sitter with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and administering basic medications. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while keeping their normal routines. I also take great care of homes by bringing in mail, watering plants, light cleaning, and ensuring everything stays secure and well maintained while you’re away.

Grace $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Grace and I’m currently in college, about to go into my fourth year. I am offering child care and occasional pet care services. I love babysitting, I’ve been doing it since about 15-16 years old. I’ve babysat ranges of newborn-12 years old, and some not the best well behaved children. I have also babysat up to 5 children at one time. I am CPR certified and I have reliable transportation. I have a cat so would be more than comfortable pet sitting cats. I have also pet sat 3 dogs at once on multiple occasions.

Naszier $13 per hour for 1 child

What makes me a good caregiver is having fun and building connections with the one’s I will supervise. I have two dogs and also a baby cousin that I would babysit A-LOT so i would say that i am experienced in caregiving for infants/toddlers, pets, and possibly seniors. I am also a very clean person so the family will not have to worry about coming back home to a mess. I chose this because I feel like I have a connection with babies I just love them, and also pets.

"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."
