Hi! My name is Sam, and I am a recent college grad looking for some supplemental income while entering the job market. I am great with pets, and have been taking care of my own cat Lou for many years. I have pet-sat for friends and clients for over 4 years, and have experience taking care of pets with medications and other medical needs. With my own cat, I know how important it is to find a flexible and trustworthy petsitter! I am happy to walk dogs, spend time with pets during the day, and feed and care for pets while you are away. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to visit your pet during the day or schedule over-night stays during the week or weekend. I happy to adapt to whatever quirks and emotional or physical needs your pet has! If there are any medical needs or personality issues to be aware of, I would love to organize a visit ahead of time to get to know the pet and their home. I am also happy to do other small things around the house as needed, like watering plants or bringing in packages.

Samantha has taken phenomenal care of my puppy the past few months. She is responsible and respectful and has been a great communicator.

Lillian San Carlos
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lillian, and I’m a dedicated, reliable caregiver with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I truly love working with children and take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I most recently worked with a wonderful family for over a year, starting when their children were 1.5 and 3 years old. Our time together recently ended only because the parents were welcoming a new baby and planned to stay home full-time. I’m happy to provide excellent references from past families. I enjoy keeping children engaged and active—whether that’s park outings, museum trips, storytime, or creative play at home. I always focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can grow and feel supported. I have my own car and insurance and am currently looking for part-time or full-time work. I take my role seriously and treat every family I work with like my own. I’d love to connect and answer any questions you may have!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
