First time meet and greet. Moe was skiddish, as expected but warmed up to Daniel pretty quickly and let him take for a nice walk. Was on time, respectful, and courteous.

My pup is still getting used to unfamiliar people walking him outside. Rachel’s shown a lot of patience as they get to know each other more and he’s warming up little by little. I’m so glad I found her to help out.

About: Hi, I’m Yari! I’ve grown up and cared for pets my entire life. I have a 12-year old beagle-mix pup 🐶 who loves naps and going on sniffaris. 💚 I have cared for dogs and cats with separation anxiety, leash pulling, and reactivity from ages ranging from puppies to seniors. I’m familiar with basic obedience training and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m experienced in administering oral medications and managing complex feeding schedules. 🩷 Every pet gets personalized attention. Whether your dog has high energy and needs a long, brisk walk, or your cat prefers quiet companionship and feather wand playtime, I adapt my visits to your pet's needs. 🩵 For walks: I follow your routines explicitly to ensure a stress-free experience. I avoid off-leash areas, enforce strict safety measures on walks, and practice safe socialization. 🧡 For house-sitting: I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies. I provide regular updates and photos through the Rover app so you have total peace of mind while you are away. 🤍 CPR & First Aid Certified 💛 Please feel free to ask any questions :) I’m currently working from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m available weekdays and weekends during the mornings (10am-12pm), midday (12pm-2pm) and afternoon/night (2pm to 10pm) for walks and drop-ins. I also offer overnight stay both during the weekdays and weekends with dedicated morning and evening pet time. I request a meet and greet before accepting to take care of your pet at your home to align on expectations. In this meet and greet, we would review your pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, medication schedules, and behavioral quirks. Also discuss home access, safety measures, and disclosing security cameras or household staff who may come by during the visit. For house-sitting, I will ensure consistent communication by sending 2-3 updates per day with photos and summaries of how your pet ate, their bathroom habits, and how they behaved. I will also treat your residence with respect.

About: Your Pet's Comfort, First. Animals have always found me. Growing up, I shared my home with a Chihuahua, a Shih Tzu, and a Terrier… three very different personalities who taught me early that every pet has their own language. Since then, friends and family have trusted me with their dogs (and an occasional cat), and I've spent time volunteering at shelters, sitting with animals who just needed someone patient and present. What Sets Me Apart? I don't expect pets to perform affection for me. Some dogs and cats gravitate toward me right away; others need space, and that's okay. My focus is on their comfort, not my ego. I'm tuned in to how animals feel, whether that's an older dog who moves a little slower and needs gentler handling, or a young pup with energy to burn. I match my energy to theirs, not the other way around. Specific Skills • Boundary-respecting care: I read body language and let the animal lead; no forcing interaction • Age-aware attention: attuned to the different needs of senior dogs (joint sensitivity, slower pace) versus younger, high-energy ones • Daily energy management: I know how much play and movement different dogs need to feel settled, and I make sure they get it • Health-conscious routines: tick checks, coat condition, appetite and behavior observations; I notice the small stuff • Multi-species experience: comfortable with both dogs and cats, including shelter animals with varied backgrounds I treat the animals in my care like I'd want someone to treat my own: patient, observant, and responsive to what they need that day. I currently work part time so I’m able to be flexible with your pets needs and schedules. I’m available to house visit/ walk during weekdays and overnight on weekends and Mondays. In-Home Care Approach I care for pets in their own space, where they feel safest. No hosting, no unfamiliar territory — just me showing up where they're already comfortable. What That Looks Like • I arrive calm — no rushed energy, no loud entry. I give them time to adjust to my presence before anything else. • I learn their space — where they eat, where they hide, their favorite spot by the window. I work within their routine. • Energy out, safely — walks, play, or backyard time based on what they need that day. Tick checks after outdoor time. • I notice the small shifts — eating habits, energy levels, anything that feels off. You'll hear about it. • I leave their space as I found it — maybe a little furrier, but otherwise intact Why This Matters Some pets do fine in new places. Many don't. Older dogs, anxious cats, rescues with history — they hold their ground best at home. I respect that. My job is to be the steady, familiar presence in their environment :)

Nima did a fantastic job walking our Oli and I highly recommend her. She is punctual, professional, and extremely loving to all of our pets! Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking. She was also extremely patient when our Oli was being stubborn on walks or potty breaks, which we greatly appreciated, especially the photos of their walks when he was serving serious diva face! 😂 We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!

About: Growing up in a veterinarian household taught me how to properly care for animals while making them all feel safe, loved, comfortable, and stress-free 🫶🐾✨ Down Below is listed my Schedule 🐾✨ Weekdays: • 4:00am-6:00am • 9:00am-1:30pm • 7:00pm-11:00pm Weekends: All day UNLESS notified otherwise I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets safe, stress-free, and as close to their normal schedule as possible. I make sure dogs get proper walks, exercise, and playtime, while also ensuring cats have clean litter boxes, fresh water, and enrichment suited to their personality—whether that’s play, affection, or quiet companionship. I always pay close attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel secure and cared for. 🐾✨🫶

About: I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including a special love for senior animals. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with special needs and I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need—whether that means slower routines, medication support, or just a calm, comforting presence. I’m also experienced with more independent or “spicy” cats and dogs through my time volunteering at a local animal shelter, and know how to read their boundaries, build trust at their pace, and make them feel safe without forcing interaction. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time and intentionally build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. This allows me to be flexible and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also like to set clear expectations with owners ahead of each visit so I can make sure I’m meeting their preferences and providing consistent, reliable care. I am happy to accommodate all requests according to individual pet's needs after a conversation with the pet owner! Any questions or requests, feel free to reach out :)

About: Growing up. I had five dogs. Four of them lived up to 14 and 15 years of age. One of them still lives with my sister and it’s currently nine years old. All my life I’ve had experience with dogs and even cared for them up until their senior stage. Even though my dogs are no longer with me, my love for pets still lives on. I recently just finished College, and work less days in my job. So I’m free a lot of the time now, which will help me provide an organized routine for pets. Whether that’s is feeding them, walking them, and spending time with them. When I had my dogs, I would take them outside to my backyard and stay with them until they were finished, and then they were able to walk up the stairs and go back inside. When caring for a pet in your home, I will be sure to do the same and take precautionary measures that are needed to ensure that your fur baby is safe. As well as follow any rules instructed.

About: I had pets growing up-- a dog and a hamster. I used to cat sit (check-in, feed, and play) for my friend in high school. I also walked dogs for my friends in college, and have had my own cat for the past three years! I work part time and am a grad student, but only have one class-- so I am available weekends, Tuesdays and Thursdays. These days I can do visits and walks any time of day! I don't have a car so I am limited to places I can easily reach by public transportation, but I will take care of your pets the same way you would. I understand what it's like needing someone else to care for you pet and want to make sure your mind is at ease while you are away.
