About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

About: I have been around animals for 43 years. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have had my own personal zoo at my house 😊 I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to entertain and cuddle your pets 😊. For the most part I am always available. I have owned my home for 20+ years. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for playing and lots of zoomies.

About: From birds to cats, rabbits to cockatiels, and of course we cannot forget the occasional beta fish— I love working with animals and having pets. Growing up with many large breed dogs for 25+ years, I’m very comfortable with any size animal and I’m always up for the challenge. I love spending as much time outside with my own pets, so getting some exercise and going for walks is always my priority. My goal is to make you feel comfortable knowing that your furry (or feathery) family members are taken care whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I’m currently working from home so I’m readily available to make sure your pet gets full attention. I typically am up early in the morning, so starting the day with a walk outside is my go-to routine. I’m super flexible throughout the day as well. Every pet owner is different, but making sure our pets are safe and taken care of is my goal. Whether you need them boarded up or to stay off your garden— I got your back and will make sure they stick to their normal routine. This way everyone is comfortable, happy and safe!

“Nathan did a great job with my new rescue dog who was scared and timid of a stranger in the home. He was patient and able to win him over to make a new friend. Will definitely use Nathan in the future.”


About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!

About: I’ve always lived with cats and dogs and have always had a special place in my heart for all animals. I graduated in veterinary assistance in 2019 and work at an animal hospital! I currently work almost 10 hour days so if your pup is not OK being alone that long I might not be a good fit for them! I would love to pet sit on the side as well as take any pet for walks! I see your pet as family and will treat them as so, making sure they don’t go hungry, cold or lonely! I have volunteered at my local shelter walking and helping with dogs and cats as well. I can even simply check in on any reptiles and smaller furry friends like hamsters and bunnies as well! I have experience with fur babies who have anxiety, cancer, joint problems, seizures and much more, with that being said I am experienced in having to give medications and pay extra close attention! Please don’t hesitate to contact me! I would love to meet your fur baby!!! ❤️


“We are so grateful for Abby! She has a very flexible schedule and is able to walk Sadie when we need. She is very communicative and lets us know when she is on the way and leaving with any other updates from the walk. The first week we booked her, Sadie wasn’t feeling well and took good care of her and kept us updated on how she was doing! It made us feel much better about leaving her at home. Not to mention Abby is great with Sadie! We will definitely book walks with her again! Thank you Abby!”


About: I have been dog sitting for many years, over night, for weeks at a time, and walking periodically throughout the day! For my neighbors, best friends, And acquaintances. Big dogs, small dogs, medically needy dogs and puppies. I have experience with them all I am available throughout the day every day. I am an earlier riser around 7 am so that makes early morning breakfasts and walks perfect if they are used to an early schedule! I am also very flexible and willing to work with you on times you prefer! I have a long walking path I use, but of course will deliver the service where it is requested! I have a nice back patio and live in a very safe neighborhood though I would prefer to dog sit in an environment the pup is most comfortable in.

About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.

“Missy is truly a pet lover and absolutely a dog whisperer! My dog and I are besties but whenn my dog sees me and Missy together, my dog runs immediately to Missy. She just has a heart for caring for others and especially animals and they sense that about her. You couldn't find a better pet sitter because she'll threat your pets as if they are her own.”

Elizabeth R.
“Elizabeth has been responsible for taking care of my dog Penny. She always went above and beyond to ensure that my pet was happy and safe while in her care. She would take her on walks, feed, and play with her. Elizabeth was always sure to ask if I wanted any specific accommodations on that specific day for Penny, and was happy to implement them into my dogs time with her. Overall, I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough to care for your pets, she will always be my first choice for a pet caregiver”


Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”

“So grateful to Donald who came in on short notice (3-4 hrs) & successfully handled a big dog who can be reactive on walks. He helped with “last out”, “first ou”t plus a mid-day walk.”
