About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Ever since I can remember there have always been pets and animals in and around my family. My family had dogs and cats growing up, I've also had fish, turtles, and geckos. I have some experience (not certified) in dog training, as I trained my current dog with my brother. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, having grown up around larger breeds. I currently work in the evenings, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays. This leaves me free in the mornings and afternoons to walk and take care of pets. I make sure I have all the information I need about whoever I'm looking after. I ask for the owner's preferences with types of walks, length, play, treats, etc. I report any potential issues with the pets to the owners.

“WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos. She truly went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our cat was well taken care of and I felt so much better knowing Aimee was there for her. I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”

“Thank you for everything! You’ve been so great with Rosie and I appreciate your pictures, videos, and detailed summary of the visit. I would definitely have you back.”

“Spencer and Julia kept me posted throughout the weekend, provided several pictures, and spent a lot of quality time with my cat. Really appreciate their help and communication, and would recommend them to others.”

About: I have a Chihuahua Yorkie mix and a Schnauzer mix so I am very familiar with high energy dogs and I will give your dog the attention they need! I really enjoy training with dogs and can reinforce or begin any training that you would like me to! I have experience training dog agility, nose work, fun attention games, and many different positive reinforcement techniques for different dogs. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, so I am very familiar with avoiding triggers, counter conditioning, and have taken classes on managing reactivity! Our other dog is a tripod, and became so through multiple surgeries while we had him, so I have experience working with dogs with different mobility needs and during surgery as well. I love to spend my nights and weekends cuddled on the couch with dogs or walking around new places, and I'll happily incorporate your dog into whichever they prefer, or both! I have a flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walking, playing with, or cuddling your dogs just like I would mine! I prefer to take care of your dog in their known environment so that they can stay comfortable. I will do my best to stick as closely to your routines as possible so that they know what to expect. However, we will add some fun, so that they have a great vacation too!

“Tara was very responsive and responsible. She took great care of my rabbit, snowflake and left a detailed report. I will definitely ask her to sit for snowflake again.”

“Leaving our kitten alone for the first time could’ve been a nerve racking experience but we knew she was in good hands with Greta. Greta is extremely kind and thoughtful as well as professional. She’s very good with kittens and went the extra mile to make sure we knew how our loved one was doing while we were gone. I highly recommend booking Greta and will definitely use her again if need be.”

Alex P.

“Dominique is amazing. He looked after our three legged dog during the Christmas holidays, visiting three times a day. He understands and cares about dogs with special needs. Highly recommended!”

Stuart B.

“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”

Marc L.

“Shannon did a great job of taking care of our puppy! This was our first time leaving him, and Shannon was very communicative throughout the visit to put our mind at ease.”

Becky R.

“Jennifer was an excellent cat sitter for Melvin. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Melvin seemed super comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and it was clear she was great with him. Communication was smooth, she was reliable, and I had no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

Kaushal P.

“Amie dropped in to play with our two golden retrievers (one puppy and one 4-year old). I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pups!”

Thomas S.

“Ann was so great with our 1 year old pup Poppy! She sent cute photos and kept me updated throughout the visit. Poppy looks forward to seeing her again!”

Emily P.

“We are very satisfied with Esther-Elizabeth´s care for our cat, Dalek. We hope she will be available next time we need someone to care for or little friend. That you Esther.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and truly have never met an animal I didn’t love! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of any age. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I love getting to know each one. With a very flexible schedule, I can provide dependable, loving care, plenty of attention, and lots of snuggles while you’re away. I work in a fully remote role with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pets need midday walks, extra companionship, or a consistent presence at home, I can typically work around your schedule and provide attentive, reliable care. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I don’t host pets in my own home because my dog prefers not to have furry houseguests. I’m more than happy to come to your home instead, allowing your pets to stay in their familiar environment and routines while receiving loving, attentive care.

“Brittany is awesome! She is reliable and friendly. She leaves good feedback and info about her time with Winnie. She sends lots of pictures, too.”

“I’d give 10 stars if I could. Iryna gave me exceptional LAST MINUTE service and and extended stay with my 2 cats. She played with them, checked on all the food water and liter and she EVEN watered my plants. She was incredibly kind and very punctual and professional. I will be booking with her from now on! Thanks Iryna!!”
