About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young! I’ve worked as a volunteer at various shelters and a professional pet sitter for over 8 years! I’ve dealt with all kinds of pets big and small- including medication management, tricky eaters, and shy pets. I grew up with Great Danes so I have experience with larger breeds as well as puppies and pets with special needs. I’m always excited to meet a new pet and their family and I hope I get to meet yours sometime soon! 🐈🐕‍🦺🦮🐇🐈‍⬛🐕 Pet care is my primary job. I have very open daily and night time availablility and am happy to spend plenty of time outside, even when it’s cold outside! ❄️ I try to provide a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pet by stick to your pet's regular routine to keep them feeling secure, whether it's feeding, bedtime, playtime, or walks. For dogs, I’m happy to offer plenty of physical activity or spend time sitting on the couch cuddling your pup-depending to their individual energy level and needs. With a focus on safety and respect, I’ll ensure your home stays clean, bring in packages as needed, take out the trash, and send communication as frequently as you’d like while you’re away!

“Zev loves his daycare with Natalia and her fur-daughter Bella. She sends lots of updates and pictures with tails high and wagging. Now on walks, Zev is always pulling towards Natalia's house. Thank you Natalia for always being flexible and responsive!”

About: We have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising a German Shepherd from puppyhood. We understand how to provide consistent love, attention, and care, from daily walks and feeding to playtime, cuddles, and meeting each dog’s individual needs. Even now, without a pet of our own, we regularly babysit friends’ dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Being home full-time allows us to give constant companionship, ensuring every dog is never lonely and always cared for with dedication and affection. We take your dog out three times a day to keep them happy and active. Every day, we go on two longer walks for exercise and mental stimulation, plus one shorter walk for a quick potty break and some fresh air. Between walks, we spend plenty of time playing, cuddling, and giving attention, making sure your dog feels loved and never lonely. Being home full-time allows us to maintain this routine consistently, keeping your dog healthy, happy, and engaged. We provide loving and attentive care for pets both in our home and in our clients’ homes. We never use crates, allowing dogs to move freely and feel comfortable. If two dogs are staying with us, we gladly care for both as long as they are friendly and get along well. Our building even has a dog-friendly play area, perfect for extra outdoor fun and socialization. When caring for pets in our clients’ homes, we follow their routines and rules, ensuring every dog feels secure, comfortable, and cared for with the same love and attention as in our own home.

About: I am experienced, through my own pets, volunteering at the shelter, and pets in my social circles, with pets who have needs! Whether those needs are energy, environment, or medical, I've been there! Dog in a wheel-chair? Cat who needs intravenous meds? Old lady in physical therapy? Young pup? Muzzle? Reactivity? Yes, yup, check! Though I have had pets most of my life, both cats and dogs, most recently, I cared for my dearest pup through her end of life stage, including learning some physical therapy techniques. I also have about 100 volunteer hours over the past year at a dog shelter, primarily focused on socialization of dogs new to the shelter environment, as well as intake processes including medication and vaccines. It would be my pleasure to attend to any special needs your dog might have during their stay, whether that be medications, a routine, massages, or mobility exercises. Experienced walking reactive/untrained/nervous dogs; can provide consistent guidance and patience to build confidence on leash. Available for up to 2 dogs for daycare during the weeks. I work flexibly from home and have coworkers who are begging for animal guests on virtual meetings! Available for walks between 6:30- 8am - specifically hoping to offer an hour long walk/jog for dogs who need to expend some energy in preparation for their day. Daycare/Boarding - Elevator building where elevator would be shared with other dogs. Very responsible and courteous dog owner community in the building, sharing space and boundaries well in the elevator. Dog run available to the building, can be used by one dog at a time, but there would be possible visibility of other dogs in adjacent runs or on the street. Personal balcony available for supervised time in the fresh air throughout the day, afternoon sun for basking! Plenty of toys, beds, and puzzles to keep your pup engaged and comfortable throughout the day. Sitting in your home - Happy to follow all your rules and routines for your dogs safety and comfort. Comfortable to crate, muzzle, follow training schedules, administer meds, etc.

“Jacqueline was absolutely fantastic with Jojo! She saved me when I was in a pinch after a previous sitter cancelled last minute on us. Jojo and Jacqueline’s pup, Galway, have become the best of friends and love to play all day together. Jojo gets so excited when we arrive for drop off! Jacqueline was incredibly accommodating with scheduling a last minute meet and greet and has been flexible with early morning drop off times for us. She has been so great with sending frequent pictures and video updates throughout the day and is quick to respond anytime I’ve reached out. Jojo is just a little puppy and we’ve been trying to keep him to an regular routine and Jacqueline was incredibly receptive to that and made sure to follow his routine as much as possible while he’s with her. We’ll definitely be using Jacqueline as our regular sitter!”

“Joy was fantastic! She has a great demeanor and was very at ease when receiving our dog, which in turn made us feel comfortable leaving him there. She provided updates throughout his stay and was responsive to all our messages. He was returned to us well taken care of and honestly quite relaxed for his character, so we know he got plenty of play time in. We look forward to working with Joy in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. To me, pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about building a bond of trust with your furry family member. Pet care is my top priority. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and adapt to your pet's specific routine. I believe in 'Safety First.' I never use retractable leashes (unless requested) and always keep a firm grip in high-traffic areas. I am constantly scanning the environment for potential triggers or hazards to ensure a peaceful and secure walk.
