About: I am an experienced pet owner with 3 cats and 1 dog, whom I care for daily with love and attention. I frequently look after my friends' cats, from playful kittens to senior felines, handling tasks such as feeding, playing, medication administration, and litter box maintenance. I am also familiar with automatic litter boxes like the Litter Robot and can troubleshoot any issues. I am dedicated to providing excellent care for all pets, treating each one as if they were my own. My Border Collie gets plenty of mental and physical stimulation every day, as I take walking, sniffing, running, and playing seriously because these activities are essential for dogs! Watching dogs play and run together truly brightens my day. I love training dogs and learning all about them. I work from home full-time, which means my schedule is very flexible. I'm happy to arrange my day around your needs to care for furry friends. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment by removing hazards and providing plenty of toys and comfy spaces. For cats, I ensure they have access to plenty of water and both dry and wet food. For dogs, I supervise all interactions and maintain a routine to keep them calm and happy. I closely monitor both cats and dogs to ensure they interact safely and aren't overwhelmed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully, respect their space, and make sure pets feel secure and loved. I am attentive to each pet's needs and behaviors, ensuring they receive the best care possible.

About: I have 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from brand new puppies to beloved seniors who need extra support. I’m reliable, patient, and very detail oriented, and I always follow your routines exactly to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have puppy training experience, so I can help reinforce the cues and habits you’re already working on perfect for keeping your training consistent. For senior dogs, I offer gentle, attentive care, whether they need medication reminders, slower walks, or just a calm presence throughout the day. What sets me apart is the way I tailor every visit to each dog and each household. No two dogs are the same, and I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your dog thrives on structured play, needs quiet companionship, or prefers a predictable routine, I adjust my approach to match what works best for them and for you. You can count on clear communication, reliability, and genuine care. Your dog stays safe, relaxed, and understood. You stay updated and worry-free. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my entire day is structured around giving each pet the attention they deserve. I don’t overbook or cram visits together, I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can stay reliable, punctual, and fully present with every animal I care for. Spacing out visits allows me to maintain a calm, stress-free routine and gives me room to handle any unexpected needs that might come up, such as extra cleanup, weather changes, mobility issues, or a pet who needs a little more time and reassurance that day. Your pet never feels rushed, and you never have to worry about me balancing other jobs or squeezing you in. This is what I do, all day, every day. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I care for pets in their own home because that’s where they feel most secure, confident, and relaxed. I follow your routines exactly, feeding times, walks, medications, training cues, preferred routes, and house rules , so everything stays familiar and predictable for your pet. I pay close attention to details like behavior changes, energy levels, appetite, and overall mood, and I communicate anything I notice. I’m extremely reliable, gentle, and respectful of your home, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always handled carefully. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and understood, and you feel completely confident trusting me in your home.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I've spent time and cared for several dogs as well and would gladly care for yours while you are away. I've had a lot of good experiences with them - I’m good pals with my landlady's pitbull and my dad’s chocolate lab! I’ll give your dog lots of attention and be mindful of their personality, especially during walks. I’ve had some anxious ones that can get a bit testy when they see other dogs during walks and I’ve handled them well. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can swap my shift if need be to provide your pet with the care it needs. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

About: Perfectly lovable, snuggable, and irresistible — that’s the energy I bring to every pet I care for. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages from kittens and puppies to seniors, and whether it’s playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. Please contact me to schedule a meet and greet so we can make sure it's the right fit for your pet. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet consistent attention, comfort and care while you're away. They'll enjoy a calm, nurturing environment where their needs are always priority. Your pet will have plenty of room to settle in and feel comfortable in my home. I have a dedicated quiet space where your pet can relax and feel saft throughout their stay. My home is clean, organized and thoughtfully set up with pets in mind. I also have a small, friendly dog that enjoys socializing with other dogs. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during your pet's visit.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.

Natalia was absolutely wonderful with Vali! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, which made the whole process so easy for me. She took amazing care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks, and kept me updated the entire time with the sweetest photos and messages. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can really tell Natalia genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
