Sarit took such wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. Our cats are really shy and are usually scared of strangers, but they quickly bonded with Sarit. It took them less than a day to become friends with her. The cats seemed to be relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved. We received daily updates with many adorable photos which gave us so much peace of mind. Sarit took the time to write detailed notes on how the cats were doing, their health, what they ate, and even their play times. It was clear that Sarit took the time to connect with each of them and understand their personalities. She also paid so much attention to the cleanliness of the house. We feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, kind, and attentive and we will definitely go to Sarit again when we need someone to deeply care for our fluff balls.

About: I learned dog/cat care from my grandmother. She taught me her special side of respecting and caring the animals no matter what kind. I have had a dog for 14 years of my life, his name was Panda. I am very excited to board dogs in my home and give them a healthy and playful environment. I am also excited to take them on long walks. I volunteered at Aurora Animal Shelter for 2 years and learnt to give behavioural training for kittens/cats. I fostered more than 6 cats apart from my own 2 cats for the past 1 year. I currently work 3 days a week from office, and my husband works remote. He is an animal lover too and loves to spend time with my cats at home. I spend time with my cats early morning and late night when they are fully active and excited to play. I take them on a walk (on leash) once a week. They enjoy some time out of home. I would like to give your pet any special attention that is needed. I will accommodate my schedule according to your pet's demands. I promise to give them a happy and peaceful environment.

About: I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I adjust my approach based on what each one needs—whether it’s gentle attention, play-based training, or a calm, steady routine. I treat every pet like they’re family. I can keep my schedule updated at all times I work as a server during the day, usually from around 9 a.m. to 4 or 5 p.m., so I’m available for early morning, evening, and nighttime care. I’m also off Sundays, Mondays, and sometimes another weekday, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. I make pet care a real priority in my free time because I genuinely love it. Safety is my top priority. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I stick to their routine—feeding, walks, play, and any special care they need. I keep things calm and positive so they feel comfortable while their owner is away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages – from playful puppies to sweet senior pups – and I always treat them with patience, love, and respect. Whether your dog needs gentle walks, extra cuddles, or help sticking to their routine, I’m here to help. I’ve also completed a dog behavior course, which helps me understand what each pup needs to feel calm, confident, and safe. Plus, I can teach basic tricks and commands in a fun and positive way! What makes me different? 💖 I truly bond with every dog I walk. 🐶 I’m calm and gentle with shy or nervous pups. 🎓 I help reinforce good habits and routines, especially for puppies. 🧠 I can teach simple tricks like sit, paw, spin, or stay. 👶 I’m experienced with high-energy “doggy kids” who need structure and fun. 📷 I always send updates with photos and notes, so you know your pup is happy and safe. Every dog is unique, and I take the time to understand what makes yours special. Whether it’s belly rubs, quiet time, or a faster pace, I tailor each walk to their needs. I work from home and online, which allows me to dedicate most of my time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the day to provide walks, playtime, or companionship as needed. I maintain a flexible schedule to ensure each dog receives focused, quality care without feeling rushed. Because I work remotely, I can be fully present with your dog for most of the day if that’s what they need, giving them attention, comfort, and consistency. Whether I care for your dog at my house, visit them at yours, or take them for a walk, safety and trust are my top priorities. At my house, your dog can move freely and comfortably throughout the entire space, enjoying a secure and cozy environment. I also have a small dog park nearby where I can take them for extra playtime while they stay with me. I carefully supervise playtime and rest, making sure your pet has plenty of water, toys, and cozy spots to feel comfortable. I also have a friendly dog at home, so your pup will have a companion and social interaction in a safe setting. During walks, I pay close attention to your dog’s behavior and needs, keeping them safe and happy on every outing. I adapt the pace and duration of the walk to what’s best for your dog. When caring for your dog at your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I respect your space and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how to read and respond calmly to different situations, so you can trust your dog is well cared for in any circumstance.

About: Personally, I have a senior dog of 13 years and a one year old puppy. Transitions can be hard so I am very passionate about promoting the well-being and safety of all dogs. Happy to accommodate to a mellow dog as I am to tire out a dog with endless energy. As a responsible and compassionate college student, I offer dependable and friendly dog walking and pet care services. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love providing them with exercise, attention, and companionship while their owners are away or busy. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate daily walks, check-ins, or weekend care. It is important to develop a respectful positive relationship with the dog and owner. I take my time to understand each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personalities. Importantly, I communicate openly with owners on provided updates and follow any specific instructions to create a space where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

What makes me different? 💖 I truly bond with every dog I walk. 🐶 I’m calm and gentle with shy or nervous pups. 🎓 I help reinforce good habits and routines, especially for puppies. 🧠 I can teach simple tricks like sit, paw, spin, or stay. 👶 I’m experienced with high-energy “doggy kids” who need structure and fun. 📷 I always send updates with photos and notes, so you know your pup is happy and safe. Every dog is unique, and I take the time to understand what makes yours special. Whether it’s belly rubs, quiet time, or a faster pace, I tailor each walk to their needs. I work from home and online, which allows me to dedicate most of my time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the day to provide walks, playtime, or companionship as needed. I maintain a flexible schedule to ensure each dog receives focused, quality care without feeling rushed. Because I work remotely, I can be fully present with your dog for most of the day if that’s what they need, giving them attention, comfort, and consistency. Whether I care for your dog at my house, visit them at yours, or take them for a walk, safety and trust are my top priorities. At my house, your dog can move freely and comfortably throughout the entire space, enjoying a secure and cozy environment. I also have a small dog park nearby where I can take them for extra playtime while they stay with me. I carefully supervise playtime and rest, making sure your pet has plenty of water, toys, and cozy spots to feel comfortable. I also have a friendly dog at home, so your pup will have a companion and social interaction in a safe setting. During walks, I pay close attention to your dog’s behavior and needs, keeping them safe and happy on every outing. I adapt the pace and duration of the walk to what’s best for your dog. When caring for your dog at your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I respect your space and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how to read and respond calmly to different situations, so you can trust your dog is well cared for in any circumstance.

I truly can't recommend Kaylee enough—she should absolutely be hired and seriously considered for any pet sitting or dog walking job. She’s one of those rare people who just gets animals. Dogs, cats—you name it—they naturally feel comfortable around her. She’s responsible, kind, and genuinely loves animals in a way that goes beyond just liking them. I’ve watched her go the extra mile to make sure pets are not only cared for, but actually happy and comfortable. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just being there for a nervous pup, Kaylee shows up 100% every time. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and caring—someone who will treat your pet like their own—Kaylee is exactly who you want.

Meaghan did a great job, was very dependable and helped ease my stress that my nephew's animals were being cared for while he was in the hospital.
