About: I prioritize creating a stress-free, loving environment tailored to each pet’s personality, whether that means active play, quiet companionship, or careful handling. If your pet loves running, I do too and would love to join them for a run to keep them happy and energized. Plus, I communicate clearly and regularly with owners, sending updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident your pet is in great hands. I am a full-time pet sitter who focuses on one pet at a time to provide the highest quality care. By dedicating my full attention to each furry friend, I ensure personalized service, tailored to their unique needs and personality. This approach helps me build trust, reduce stress, and give your pet the love and care they truly deserve—quality over quantity every time. I care for pets in a cozy single-family home with a small backyard, located in a very walkable neighborhood. This setup allows me to provide plenty of fresh air, outdoor play, and regular walks in a safe, calm environment. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting their home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and comfortable while giving them lots of love and attention.
“Catie’s been fantastic! She is so kind, trustworthy, and good with our dog. Our dog has a lot of energy and needs a good walk while we’re working. Catie always brings her back well exercised and ready to nap the rest of the day!”
“Our dog took to Jen immediately. By day two of their relationship, he was looking forward to her arrival. She constantly communicated what they were getting into, both visiting his favorite places and exploring new spots together.”
“Great communication, attitude and caring. Our dog is a docile but powerful dog that still has crazy puppy vibes. They were able to manage him perfectly. I will definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone with full confidence.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my aunts and uncles pets for years so here I am branching out. I walk upwards of 20,000 steps a day and would love to take your pets along. I know all the local routes - ones with or without other dogs. I’m currently a student and have some free time. I’m looking to go for walks to fill that time. I typically have all nights free and open! I’m not offering home services, but on walks I’m very observant and careful. I will be able to notice any situations which we should avoid!
About: I own dogs and cats of my own. Former kennel tech for a boarding and daycare facility of all dog breeds/ temperaments/sizes. Currently work with dogs. I work full-time. I work a regular 8hr shift and not super close to home. So I am usually away from 7:30am- 4:30pm. I am generally around on my off days and happy to stop by before and/or after work. Just reach out and we can try to work something out/ talk about schedules :) I usually dont do drop ins weekly so please only ask for specific dates. I am an avid hiker, so if you have an energetic friend I am more than happy to take him or her out on longer walks! But I'm also down for hugs and cuddles with senior pets or furry felines
“Ileana has been simply excellent with our anxious rescue. Our dog is not quick to make friends, but Ileana knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable from the beginning, and managed her reactivity expertly on walks. She was also prompt, communicative, and flexible with us. Could not recommend her enough!”
About: I have been responsible for my own pets’ care since I was 12. I have had a very active German Shepard mix and Sharpei growing up, which I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and care. I have a family friend that I walk and hike their dog for so I am comfortable doing both if your dog is more active. I currently work fully remote from my home with schedule flexibility so I am able to take pets for walks in mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to be flexible for walking and pet visits during guardian vacations, time away, etc. I have a pet-free home for any pets that are not used to other animals. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with green space. When dog-sitting, I take the approach of playing with a pet outside and familiarizing prior to introductory period in the home.
“Nico is everything we could hope for in a walker. She has a great rapport with our dog, a shepherd who was guarded with her on the first walk but was totally comfortable by the third. Nico is totally reliable, knowledgeable about dogs with great common sense.”
