About: Hello! I’m Claudia Giallella and I’ve always loved caring for animals. In recent years, I have played and cared for chickens, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I love to send pictures and videos of your pets to show they are having fun and are happy while you are away! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and I love to meet new families that are in need for short or long term care for their pets! I am currently working part time at a hair salon, but am mainly focused on pet care. In my daily schedule I have plenty of time to do multiple stops a day to care and play with your pet(s)! I follow the instructions given and make sure I know exactly how you want your pet cared for. In addition to caring for your pet, I make sure the environment is tidy and clean prior to leaving each time.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and my family has four dogs of our own! One is a rescue that we love dearly!! I also completed a two-year Small Animal Science program and currently foster dogs. Through fostering, I’ve helped 7 dogs find their forever homes. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my schedule because I work consistent hours at a school! I’m typically available after 2:30 PM on weekdays, in the evenings, and on anytime on the weekends. I love spending my free time caring for animals, whether that means taking dogs for walks, stopping by for feeding and playtime, spending time with cats, or providing overnight care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the attention and care they need while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to keep dogs and cats comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, medications, and daily routines. I’m respectful of your home and always mindful of doors, gates, and making sure pets stay safe and secure. Whether your pet loves attention and cuddles or prefers some quiet time, I’ll make sure they receive the patience, love, and care they deserve!

“Always on time and upbeat when we see her in the mornings for our dogs walk.”

“Colleen provides excellent care, is communicative and attentive. We appreciate all she does for us and Phoebe. Thank you!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me a great deal of joy. Now that I’m retired, I have the time and flexibility to give your dog the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. My home is a calm, welcoming place where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I understand that every dog is different, with their own personality, routines, and little quirks. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep your dog’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether your dog loves a good walk, a cozy nap, a little playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll be there to give them plenty of affection and companionship. Most of all, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your furry family is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. I know how much our dogs meant to us—they truly are family. I would be honored to welcome your dog into my home and treat them as one of my own while you’re away. As a retired caregiver, I’m home all day and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, regular walks and playtime, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having pets as part of my daily life and take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I offer care in your home or at my quiet, dog-free home. For dogs, the day can include daily walks, playtime, fetch, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to care for puppies through senior dogs and will follow your pet’s normal routine, including meals, medications, and rest time. There are no children or other pets in my home, making it a calm and peaceful environment. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away!

About: I've had dogs and cats almost my entire life. My family and I are huge animal lovers and supporters. I always care for animals as if they are my own because pets are a member of your family and deserve the best. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to accommodate requests. Please contact me and I'm sure we can arrange days and times that work for both of us! We can discuss what you need for your pet while I care for them in your home. I can do check-ins, walk them, play with them, feed them, etc. Just let me know!

About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay off some school debt! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work part time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs and 2 cats, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!

About: I have experience with all types of dogs and I easily adapt to routines! Many families have trusted and continue to trust me to keep their pup happy and safe! I work full time, typically from home, which allows me to give plenty of attention, care, and snuggles throughout the day. I also have a 1 1/2 year old daughter who would love to tag along on evenings and weekends if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If not, I’m very flexible and happy to accommodate your preferences. Wether it is my home or your home I can assure you you’re dog will be fed, safe, clean and happy. Also, Routine will be consistent

About: I have had at least 2 dogs since I was a child. I am a kind and caring person that will treat your fur baby like my own. I currently work part time, mainly from home. Driving a few minutes from my home to care for your family would be a privilege. I am a hard working, trustworthy person that will work with your schedule as best I can. I have a fenced yard with plenty of small wildlife to bark at! I have room to kennel your small or large dog in the living room so they still feel part of a family. I enjoy being outside and will walk your dog even in inclement weather.

About: I have worked with dogs as little as 10 weeks to senior pups! I make sure they always feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I want every pup in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and adjust their day based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. I provide attentive, responsible care and take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and specific needs before their stay or visit

About: I have done seasonal dog walking jobs for older clients as well as drop-in visits for several of my friends and family’s cats or dogs. I am also proficient in caring for senior cats as I have rescued two from the street. My kitties are quite independent and have an auto kibble feeder and they are fed wet dinner in the evenings to support urinary health. I am always hanging out with them when in my home as it is theirs as well. I am always checking on my pets and giving them affection. I am attentive and quick to respond which makes me very observant and detail oriented. Your pet is always safe under my watch and your instructions will be followed closely. In my own home, clients’ pets have their own room.

About: I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and behavior, making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I adjust to what your pet needs in the moment. I treat every furry friend like family and make it my priority to give them the same care and attention you would. My intention for every animal I care for is to make sure they are happy, safe, healthy, and loved. 🤍 Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time to give dogs the attention they deserve. This means I can be flexible with walks, playtime, and drop-ins, and your pup will never feel rushed. I love spending my extra time playing, walking, and bonding with dogs, so they get lots of care and companionship while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. Respect is very important to me, I treat both your home and your animals with the same care I would my own. You can feel confident that your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I always make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and secure, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🤍✨

About: Growing up I always had cats and dogs in my life. From big to small, young to old. I get along with all animals I come in contact to, I have a lot of free time and would love to take care and give love. I have a lot of free time after work. I am also open to staying over night or them staying over night at my house with my two cats. I’m very flexible. I would keep an eye on all times and make sure they are loved. Make sure that everything the owner wants, I’m able to give!

“Natalie is great. She let my dog get comfortable with her before taking him for his walk. She was on time and put me at ease as I entrusted my baby to her. I highly recommend her.”
