Dependable, kind and most importantly Blue loves her. Our situation at the time meant we didn’t meet her first. Trusted the app and now trust Ixia with our most cherished family member. Thank you

Haley was great with my puppy, Ollie. She was punctual, very communicative, and provided me a completely stress free day! You can tell she both loves and is knowledgeable about animals. Ollie was very excited to see her every time she came!

About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!

Kayla has been my go-to for over a year now. My dog loves her, and she’s a great communicator. She recently went above and beyond when there was an unexpected issue in my house. It’s great to be able to trust her so much.

About: Hi there! My name is Sammy and I currently work in Finance remotely. I've always had a love for all animals - dogs, cats, birds, frogs, fish... the list goes on. I have not had the opportunity to have my own dogs/cats in my home, but I've taken care of family & friends' pets for many years and have always given their fur babies such amazing care and attention. I am extremely detail-oriented and follow directions precisely. I'm currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care as often as needed during the week with lots of time for fun! Safety is my #1 priority and I will always contact you if I'm unsure of next steps. Pets are family so they will be given my full care and attention.

Tara truly is phenomenal. My puppy destroyed a few of the stimulation toys I left but Tara was ready to improvise with some snuff mats she generously let my doggies borrow. It’s such a relief to know my dogs are so well cared for when I am gone. Her photos are also pretty hilarious :D

I felt very confident when she was enthusiastic about setting up a quick meet and greet. She completed the walk despite a minor collar failure, and I appreciated her transparency with the situation. Professional, polite, and wonderful to work with!

Naomi is wonderful! Walking our two dogs throughout the busy streets of Manhattan is not always a “walk in the park” but Naomi always seems to find great places and furrfriends to say hi to during the walks. She is so knowledgeable and patient with our rambunctious pups - we couldn’t thank her enough!

About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! I am willing to go to the cape and islands for house sitting! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.

About: Growing up i had a husky and a chocolate lab a couple pit bulls amongst other animals like ferrets, ducks and plenty of cats. I live with my 9 goldfish and two male corgis mixed with Australian cattle dog, 5 and 4 year old now :) I work Monday -Fridays 7am-3pm so I would be available anytime after that during the week and on Saturday and Sundays i am flexible with the times. I look forward to spending time, exercising and playing with your fur babies I'm currently working full time during the week but at night I can take your pups out for walks or play with then in the back yard. And if you happen to have cats I can also feed and play with them too. I love all animals. I don't have boarding as an option, I do offer to stay overnights if needed. I would give your fur baby love attention just as I would give mine.

Liza is patient, communicative and professional. Our dog is nervous to new people. She greeted him in a way that was appropriate and is building his confidence to trust her and enjoy his walks. She helped me to navigate this app. We feel grateful that Nochi has someone with experience, skill and empathy.

About: I am an animal lover. I think animals are better than people, lol, they just want to be loved and someone to show them attention and play with them. I am 58 years old and have had many dogs, cats and even a rabbit and oh yes chickens but we won’t go there, lol. My daughter is all grown up and I do not work anymore so I am available most often. I am a very loyal and trust worthy person. I am upbeat and a positive. If I say I am available then I will be. I’ll always tell you if I can’t do it. Thank you for taking this time to read my profile. Feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks. I am retired and am home and available most days. I am very reliable and if I say I’m going to show up I will! I will feed them clean up after them and just love them. I will play with them and make them not feel alone. Thank you

About: I've had all types of animals growing up. From small critters to dogs. Currently own 2 cats named Sasha and Coco, chickens and have 3 freshwater fish tanks. I've house/pet sit for friends over the years. I have pretty good flexibility everyday for short visits > 2 hours. I have two young children in school so depending on time frame one might have to accompany me but if not needed I can work around it. My cats are pretty self sufficient as cats are but they are fed every morning and evening and get treats. They are indoor cats aged 7 and 8. I feed fish daily and do water changes once a week as Maintenance. Chickens are a bit more daily maintenance with cleaning out coop everyday and filling water and feeder but it's rewarding (especially with getting eggs)

About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.
