About: I have a deep love for all animals, and bond quickly with them. I'm patient and caring, as well as responsible and cautious. I over communicate and will send tons of updates, pictures and videos. I live and work downtown; I am within a few blocks of my apartment and can be flexible to walk and drop in during the day. I have ring cameras that I can set up in my home for boarding, or in your home for day visits, to give piece of mind that your pets are well looked after. I'm happy to board or visit your pets at their home! I have a city apartment with great windows, hardwood floors, lots of sunlight and tons of comfy spaces for kitties/dogs to get comfortable! I am happy visiting in your home as well, and will adjust my cadence to what your pet prefers. I can set up ring cameras to make sure your animals are happy and cared for during the day, and make sure, if they need immediate attention, I’m aware and available .

Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets and others’ since I was about 8 years old. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pet-sitting needs, and I genuinely love being able to help out. I grew up with both cats and dogs (and a few other animals along the way!), and spent a lot of time training and doing agility work with my family’s Border Collie. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior pets, as well as all sizes and temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications to your pets, and have had experience doing this with both cats and dogs. I just finished graduate school, so I’ve got good availability during work hours/work days to do check-ins and walks! My schedule is extremely flexible as I job hunt for a full time position. My cats are indoor cats and have plenty of access to toys, climbing trees/stimulation, food and water, and their litter box! I would ensure that your pets are extremely well cared for according to your instructions.

Lauren has been an amazing dog walker for my dog, Ginger. She’s kind, reliable, and always gives Ginger the best walks. What I love most is that she takes the time to snap adorable photos of Ginger every single day. It’s such a nice touch! Lauren also keeps me updated on how Ginger is doing, which puts my mind at ease. It’s clear she really cares about the dogs she works with, and Ginger absolutely adores her. I’m so happy to have found Lauren and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Elliot was super flexible, which I appreciated. I was out of town for 2 days and I hired him for 4 walks. He came and met my dog the night before the first walk, free of charge, which I really appreciate because I didn’t know if my dog would be okay with a stranger walking him. He was friendly and communicated very well. Would choose to hire him again!

About: I am easy going, flexible and willing to make it work when folks need additional assistance. I adore animals, have had a range from tarantulas to horses and pigs and of course the normal cats and dogs. I'm currently a student and working part time! So I'd love the opportunity to get out of the house, get engaging with animals and help any way I can. I'll always go with the preference of the owner, but I think it's very important to follow the animal's cues. If they're interested, awesome - so am I! if not, that's okay too and I can work around them calmly, being able to still myself so that they feel still and safe too.
