About: I grew up with and cared for 12 cats and 3 dogs! Not including neighbours’ and strays. It is an unimaginable pleasure to care for these furry built-in best friends! ABOUT ME I am a full time Human Resources executive, teach English as a second language and work from home. I’m always here and ready to get my steps in. Win/win NEW CLIENT REQUIREMENTS - Meet and greets are required to break the ice. Your somepawdy will be hosted in a one bedroom apartment with access to a dedicated dog walking park and tidy bay! – A minimum of 5 days notice is required. - Your furry buddy must be fully housebroken, neutered/spayed, and provide proof of rabies vaccination. – Cleanliness is important. BOARDING WITH ME I will always try to be as flexible as possible to meet your needs. And my aim will always be to give your pawsome girl or boy all the love and care needed.

Between walks/playtime, tummy rubs and selfies, it’s going to be a blast!

“Gerri took very good care of my cats during the week we were traveling. She is very friendly and love animals and my 2 cats liked her, too. I'll ask her again next time. Thank you for your support. And see you later. Thank you again!”


About: I have had 3 dogs across my lifetime from puppies to seniors. I have also taken care of 4 outdoor cats for six years now. I have pet sat for family friends including drop ins and overnights, and I would love to do that for your pets as well. I’m home from college and I am back for the summer. My schedule is very flexible and I will always be able to make something work if needed. I am here to help. Aside from the basics of feeding, walking, and potty breaks, I make sure they have a fun and relaxing environment. I am an active person who loves to go for runs as well as chill at night, so I am very good at molding to dogs personalities. I will tailor to every dogs needs.

About: I’ve previously worked for another pet service where I took dogs on walks and did drop-in visits. I also have some experience with cats, but I have a 5-year old dog myself. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs as I dog sat for a family friend for a few months and stayed the night at their house once a week. I would take the dog for walks, spend time with him and give him any medication he needed. I love animals and it doesn’t feel like work to take care of them for me. I am a teacher, so I am free during school breaks and on weekends. When I am not working full-time at school, pet care will be my first priority. I will listen to any requests made by the pet owner for what they want me to do, such as letting them out in a fenced backyard or keeping them on a leash. I also have experience crate training my dog and find that can be a safe place for dogs too.
“Kelly is amazing! She was very quick to respond and was able to help us out when our usual sitter cancelled last minute. She took great care of our puppy and provided lots of updates!”

“Claudia was great with my pup. She is punctual, great with communication and an awesome dog sitter. My pup was very excited to have her stop by. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I absolutely love animals!! I had a Schnauzer named Loki but he ran away. I decided I wouldn’t have another puppy, but I’ve been having a blast watching other people’s dogs. It’s kind of like a fun uncle type of situation I’ve been thriving on lately. I have tons of experience watching and handling animals. Since my youth, I’ve been in love with nature. I even became an Eagle Scout! I’m passionate about animals and all life in general. I even thought about becoming a vegan, but that’s another topic of discussion… I’m attending in-person classes at University on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10AM to 3PM. Also, I teach Yoga at POSE Studios on Mondays at 5:30PM. There’s still tons of availability though because my days start early. I’m available: Mon. 6AM to 4:00 / 6:30PM to 10PM Tues. 6AM to 9AM / 3:30PM to 10PM Wedn.. 6AM to 10PM Thurs. 6AM to 9AM / 3:30PM to 10PM Fri. 6AM to 10PM Sat. 6AM to 10PM I am very communicative and attentive, so you can expect multiple text messages with updates on how your puppy is doing. Expect mini photo shoots!
“Couldn’t recommend Kathryn more! We have two giant and energetic labs - She sent us videos every day of them having fun together. Can definitely meet any type of service you’re looking for.”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have had Bernese Mountain Dogs since I was born, including having three Bernese at one time. Caring for large dogs has given me extensive experience with feeding schedules, walks, grooming needs, exercise, and providing attentive care. In addition to dogs, I have also raised two bunnies and two hamsters, giving me experience with small animals and understanding the importance of patience and gentle care. Currently, I care for one Bernese Mountain Dog, one bunny, and two French Bulldogs. My lifelong experience with both large and small pets helps set me apart as someone who is comfortable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. I’m currently home for the summer from college so most of my days are free. I am currently working part time, two days a week at night. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water at all times, give pets plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they have a clean environment. I am experienced caring for both large and small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs and personalities
“Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one! She is kind compassionate and so amazing with animals. I felt so at ease leaving my kids with her when I went away, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Honestly this was my first time using this app but I will always use Sarah two thumbs up and a bunch of gold stars.”

“Reliable, friendly, kind, and took excellent care of our 2 cats and turtle. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and it couldn’t have been a more positive experience. Thank you, Nicole! 🐈🐢🐈⬛”


About: My name is Morgan. I love animals no matter what type, breed, size or age. I have one dog and three cats, all of which I rescued from animal shelters. I love my pets more than anything, if you choose me to watch your pets, I can guarantee you I’ll treat them like my own pets! I am very organized and personable. I pride myself in being very tidy and respectful, especially while inside your home. I will focus 100% of my time on your pets while I am working with them because I find it very important to always show animals the love and attention they deserve. Please feel free to ask me any questions about me, my experience or my availability! I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care is honestly just woven into my daily routine at this point, it doesn't feel like a separate task. My mornings start with feeding and a walk, which actually gives me a great reason to get outside and move before I sit down to work. Throughout the day I'm mindful of keeping things consistent for them, meals, playtime, making sure they're not just sitting alone for too long. Evenings are usually when we wind down together, which I genuinely look forward to. It's one of those things that adds structure to my day without feeling like a chore, more like a grounding ritual than a responsibility. I care for pets the same way I'd want someone to care for mine, with consistency, attention, and a lot of patience. In my own home, that means sticking to a routine they can rely on: regular feeding times, daily walks or play sessions, and making sure their space is clean and comfortable. I pay close attention to their moods and energy levels because animals communicate a lot through behavior, and catching when something feels off early makes a big difference. When it comes to caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to understand their specific needs before I ever step through the door. Every pet is different, different diets, different temperaments, different routines, and I take detailed notes on all of it. I follow the owner's instructions closely, keep their environment familiar and stress-free, and always communicate updates so the owner feels confident and informed while they're away. I treat their home with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, and I treat their pet like my own.
“Bridget was amazing. Our two girls Holly and Shadow were very happy and we are so pleased that we found someone so close to us. We will definitely be using Bridget again in the near future. She treated our girls like they were her own. Our girls are older so they are very picky and they have their own issues. Shadow is a 13 year old Pug losing her hearing and Holly is a 12 year old Boston Terrier who is losing her vision. She was exceptional with them.”
About: 🐾Find me on Facebook Under Renee’s Reliable Pet Care!🐾 Passionate About Animals! Walks, Drop In’s + Happy Tails! ☺️ IG: reneesreliable_petcare I work part time on a flexible hybrid schedule, no kids. Enjoy true peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring hands with Renee’s Reliable Pet Care! I can be part of a positive routine that your pet can look forward to! Contact me to schedule a meet and greet and check out my amazing reviews! 🐾 I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I truly believe each animal has its own individual personality and quirks. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets, caring for family, friends, clients, and neighbors. I started this journey because I had a difficult time finding reliable sitter’s for my own dog who has suffered from several seizures and has some separation anxiety. I would get canceled on when I was at the office and not have the care for him when I needed it most. These struggles helped me realize that I can easily be that reliable, compassionate person for individuals and their pets! I am punctual, great at showering pets with love and attention, and patient. I am reliable, caring and always happy to go out of my way to help others! I am all about details so please tell me everything your pet likes so my visits can be exciting and happy for your pet! Care checked/background checked. I am so excited to meet you and your baby! If you need someone to stay with your dog for a longer period of time, I work remotely MWF from 12:45-6 pm. I have a flexible work schedule so always ask for what you need! I have availability Tuesdays and Thursdays and have several time slots open 7 days a week this includes open weekend availability. I will take care of your pet like they’re my own! Safety and satisfaction is my number one priority. I will ensure your dog is properly leashed before leaving the house and ensure all doors are locked.
