About: I grew up caring for a variety of family pets and have watched many of my friend’s pets here in the city. I have a cat of my own and understand the anxiety that can arise when leaving them for even a short period. I am communicative, patient, and reliable. I mainly work from home so I have the flexibility for daily drop-in visits and can accommodate your schedule to ensure your pet’s needs are met. I am trustworthy and conscientious in all my work. I prioritize the security of your living space and safety if your pet. I’m happy to send regular text updates and pictures of your pet when I visit.

About: I was raised around dogs and have cared for them for my whole life. Since adopting my Australian Cattle Dog ten years ago, I've done it all with pet care; training, daily exercise, dietary and health concerns. Now I'm ready to show your best friend the same care, attention, and love that I show to my own! I'm currently a graduate student at St. Edward's University studying mental health counseling, so I am looking to care for pets around my academic schedule. I currently only have class on Tuesday and Wednesday and so am very flexible on any other day of the week. I bring warmth, calm, and attention to every animal that I meet, and treat everyone's home and space with the utmost respect. I will follow all instructions to the word and bring my attention to detail to your pets' unique needs.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of both pet behavior and care. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I having had dogs most of my life, I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and mental stimulation. Your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll thrive and be loved in your absence. I currently work from home, so I am immediately available to take them on walks, etc. I understand the importance of routine in our lives. I have quick access to lovely dog-friendly spaces downtown. I can accommodate your dog’s crate with ease. My lovely building is filled with great pets.

About: I have hands-on experience from volunteering at animal shelters and vet clinics, which taught me how to handle dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have also had pets all growing up which made me love them even more!!! I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and those needing special care or medication. I focus on making each walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs! I am a student and have lots of flexibility when it comes to spending time with your pets! I love to use my free time to meet new dogs and cats and help ensure they are being taken care of! I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable, whether in my home or the client’s. I provide fresh food, water, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and send regular updates to the owner.
“Olivia was so sweet to Jackson. I had to leave town for an emergency at the same time his tummy was upset and she comforted him and even cleaned up the messes he left all over my apartment. I will absolutely book her again to walk my sweet boy.”
“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”
“Kim is such a thoughtful sitter and Phebes LOVES her. She takes her to the park and keeps her white fur clean whenever we come back from our trips. Kim is also flexible and always available to care for our girl. We love booking with Kim!”
“Kimberly was so sweet and updated me throughout the whole walk! I felt very good leaving my pup in her hands.”
About: Dogs have always been an extension of my family. I’ve had them my whole life and currently care for my 18-year-old chihuahua mix rescue, so I’m especially mindful of senior needs and giving pets the patience and love they deserve. I work from home, live in a pet-friendly apartment with a dog park on-site, and I’m just a stroll away from dog-friendly cafes and parks, perfect for pups who love fresh air and social time. Whether your dog needs play, snuggles, or a little extra attention, I’m here for it all. Pet care is part of my everyday life; it’s second nature. Since I work from home, I build my day around walks, outdoor breaks, meals, and quality time with my senior pup. I’m used to working with a pet nearby and love having that companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I’ve got the flexibility to give pets the attention they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture, dog fur doesn’t scare me one bit. I have a cozy space, an on-site dog park, and the flexibility to give them plenty of attention since I work remotely. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable, sticking to familiar routines to reduce any stress.
“Did a great job!”
About: Hi friend! I’m leah. I am a BIG dog lover and I want to meet yours! I have a lot of experience with a wide range of dogs. This includes puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, big dogs and small. I truly believe each dog is different and love getting to know your dog’s tendencies and behaviors to form a trustworthy relationship! After all, their your FUR-baby, I know you want the VERY best. I currently work from home full-time as a ATX photographer! I’m usually editing photos, chatting with clients, or out for a shoot, so you can expect that your pet will be cared for around the clock as I am home majority of the day. Ultimately, I want your dog to feel as comfy as possible in their own home and mine. I love as much direction as possible for taking care of your fur baby so that way their comfort remains top priority.
About: Experience with needy and independent dogs. Have trained friends’ and family members’ dogs to be chill, casual guys, gals, and pals. Have cared for dogs ranging from 5 months to 11 years old. I have a flexible schedule and live an active life. I don’t have any pets of my own (yet) so I like to combine my passions of furry friends and adventure whenever I get the chance. This often looks like taking dogs with me for a run, out to the greenbelt for a hike, or walking to a new coffee shop to get a pup cup. I like to end my days in a quiet, cozy environment with lots of dog cuddles! I am able to stay at clients’ homes to provide overnight care, stop by do check ins, or take dogs on walks. I like to send lots of pictures and updates too!

Kathrine G.
“Zinnia (Kathrine) is a responsible, empathetic, and knowledgable pet caregiver. I’ve seen her take care of several animals over the years, most notably my own pup, Peppa. The first time I had to leave my dog behind on a trip was stressful and anxiety-inducing, but knowing that I could count on Zinnia put me at ease. She’s since stepped in several times when I’ve had unexpected work travel, and provides frequent updates about my fur baby while I’m away. She’s very respectful of the training we’ve been working on together, and continued training sessions with her in my absence. Peppa is always so happy to see her, and I know she is in loving, caring hands when Zinnia is there! Would easily recommend to all pet parents!!”
