“My pup loved her walks with Max. He was prompt and we could count on him and have rebooked for our next trip.”

“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—starting with the family dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters I grew up with. Over the past 20 years, I’ve provided trusted pet care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and currently live with a much-loved cat. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a senior dog needing extra support, a shy cat who takes time to warm up, or a high-energy pup who needs structure and play, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also experienced with basic puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every pet like family—with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience. In your home, I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. If pets are in my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re never left alone for long and always treated like part of the family. --- ### My Pet Care Expertise My life has always been deeply intertwined with animals. From chattering birds and curious hamsters to graceful fish, independent cats, and loyal dogs of all sizes, I've had the joy of growing up with a diverse range of beloved family pets. This lifelong immersion in animal companionship, including personally owning both small and large dogs alongside my current cat, has given me invaluable insight into their unique personalities and needs. Today, my passion for pets continues through the routine care I provide for our **neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats**. This hands-on, consistent experience means I'm adept at maintaining routines, understanding different temperaments, and ensuring every furry guest feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved in a family environment. You can trust that your pet's well-being is my absolute priority. ---

About: Hi, I'm Isabella! I work remote so I'm home all day for belly rubs, potty breaks, and playtime. With 15+ of experience around animals, I know how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, happy, and loved - whether that means sticking to their routine, going for outdoor adventures, or providing extra cuddles. I know it can be stressful to be away from your pet, so I promise to send lots of updates and cute photos while you're away! Since I work fully remote, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I love taking breaks for walks, playtime, and snuggles, and I'm always available for mid-day potty breaks, check-ins, and zoomies. In my home, pets get a comfy, safe and supervised environment with plenty of attention. I keep things clean and cozy. In your home, it's completely up to you! I'll follow your instructions - whether that means maintaining routine or sticking to a preferred walking route. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and stress-free while you're away!
