“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my two dogs! Kyra was incredibly attentive, kind, and clearly loves animals. From the daily updates and photos to how relaxed and happy my dogs were when I returned, everything was top notch. My dogs can be a bit anxious and high maintenance, but they warmed up to Kyra right away, which says a lot. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I highly recommend Kyra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: Growing up in the country, I have been an animal caretaker for years. While my personal pets were mostly rabbits and dogs, I served as the community rescue, rehab, and release person for wildlife in the surrounding area. Whether they're young or old, need medication or a specific diet, enjoy chewing everything in sight, or need lots of exercise and love, I am grateful to be able to care for your furry friend(s) in any manner they require. Currently, I work Monday through Friday morning and afternoon, but am completely available on weekends. I can make weekday stop ins during work hours and stay the night any day. I am extremely attentive to detail, whether it be your normal routine/schedule for pet care, providing medication accurately and easily, or double-checking that your pet remains safe on walks or in the home. I will encourage your pets to join me on the furniture if an owner allows, make sure a coat or booties get put on if needed, and send as many pictures as their loved ones want. I treat your pets like they're my best friend too!

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

About: Hi there! I am a current student on break with so much love for animals. I have shadowed and worked at veterinary clinics and I have three dogs of my own. I know having three dogs may seem hectic but they are my joy. I have grown up with dogs, cats, a rabbit and a hamster so I know how to take care of all of our furry friends. I love working with animals, especially dogs, and I hope to become a Vet one day. I have free availability and I am willing to work out any special accommodations. I stay active in my personal life so I am able to make sure the dogs are taken on walks to get out all of their energy. Happy to answer any questions you have and meet your furry companion. I am currently an aspiring vet med student. I have a Bachelors in Marine Biology and Sustainability. I am currently focusing on studying and love to care for any type of animal. I live in a safe neighborhood with a fenced in yard. There are lots of places I like to take my pets nearby including parks, river walks and I love walking on trails.

“Nik goes way above and beyond what is expected. I had hoped that my dogs would have someone feed them, let them out, and make sure they had some pets. However, I was blown away by the short videos, extra play time, and especially the enrichment games she creates to keep my anxious dog calm and entertained. I would never hesitate to have her care for my furry family members!”
