“Marco is a wonderful sitter. My husband and I have been extremely lucky to find such a reliable and trustworthy sitter for our baby. I’m sort of a helicopter dog mom, and Marco really caters to every request. We have a doxie who has very special care instructions due to his sensitive back so it really gives us peace of mind knowing he is taken care of properly. Our pup absolutely loves him and it has truly been a blessing to find someone we trust in our home and with our pup Frank. I highly highly recommend him. Thank you so much Marco!”

About: Hi, I’m Ksenia! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a big Newfoundland dog along with cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, our home is still full of animals. We have a cockapoo, a bunny, and two guinea pigs, so caring for pets is truly part of my everyday routine. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, calm, and happy. I take this responsibility seriously and always treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekday routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the week, whether your pet needs a potty break, feeding, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away. I enjoy calm, relaxed care and focus on being reliable, present, and consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully and make sure dogs are walked calmly and securely. I’m attentive, respectful of your home and routine, and always keep pets supervised. I communicate clearly and want pet parents to feel fully comfortable and confident while their pet is in my care.

About: As a pet parent for most of my life, I’m passionate about all different animals. While I am a self-proclaimed dog person, I love all pets and consider them family. Because of this, I believe in treating your pets as if they were my own! I have owned dogs for most of my life and have extensive experience in dog care, such as walking, feeding, bathing, and playing. I have helped family members and friends with different services whenever needed, and truly have a passion for spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, and believe every dog deserves kindness regardless of breed. I have taken care of cats before and am also very comfortable with them! I also have my own vehicle, meaning I can transport your pet to any location as needed. I’m comfortable standing, walking, and playing for long amounts of time, as some pets require more energy and attention than others. I’m also very detail-orientated and will follow any instructions as listed by the client, such as for feeding and bathing. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and take pride in carefully caring for them ❤️. My schedule is very flexible, meaning I have time for different pet services throughout the week. I am available most days, and am a stickler for scheduling and being punctual, meaning you never have to worry about mix-ups or last-minute cancellations. My calendar is always freshly updated so that you may know if I’m ever unavailable! I can take care of any pet in a client’s home provided that the client has necessary items, such as food, toys, and a bed/crate. I’ve taken care of pets with both strict and flexible routines, and am comfortable following a schedule or being spontaneous and taking care of a let’s needs as they arise. I’m also comfortable with administering oral medication, as I have experience doing this with my own dog.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I bring years of hands-on experience in caring for both dogs and cats. I was raised with dogs and currently care for my own 4-year-old Goldendoodle, so I understand the importance of consistent routines, attentive care, and building trust with each pet. My experience includes daily walks, grooming, administering medications, playtime, feeding, and providing calm, comforting companionship. I’m also familiar with feline care—whether it’s maintaining litter boxes, feeding routines, or respecting their need for space and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in your absence. • Weekdays: Available from 6 PM – 9 PM • Weekends: Available from 9 AM – 6 PM • Summer (June–August): Flexible availability, typically 10 AM – 6 PM Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and loved. I follow any specific routines or instructions closely—this includes feeding schedules, medication, exercise needs, and any behavior preferences. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment through play, walks, and calm companionship. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. I keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is always to maintain your pet’s routine and make their time away from you as smooth and stress-free as possible.

About: What truly sets me apart is my daily reality. Working full time at an animal shelter means I don't just love dogs; I understand them deeply. I interact with dogs of every varying size, breed, age, and temperament every single day. Because of this professional background, I am comfortable handling situations that might overwhelm other sitters. I have experience with everything from 100lb breeds to nervous miniatures. Whether you have a high-energy puppy who is still learning manners or a gentle senior who needs extra patience and slow pacing, I know how to adapt my care to their specific needs. I bring that same professional safety standard to your home. As a lifelong pet parent currently raising two dogs of my own, I treat every client's dog with the same vigilance and love I give my own pack. My schedule is uniquely suited for pet care. While I work full time for an animal shelter, I frequently work from home. This hybrid schedule allows me to be incredibly flexible with my time. I can easily step away from my desk for midday walks, potty breaks, or just some lunchtime playtime. Animals are already the central part of my workday, so fitting your pup into that routine is seamless. Safety is my top priority for both your pet and your home. During walks, I stay fully engaged and aware of our surroundings. I avoid interactions with other dogs to prevent any unpredictable behavior, and I always triple-check harnesses and collars before we step outside. I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I am diligent about following entry instructions, managing alarm systems, and ensuring all doors are securely locked upon leaving. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it, with a happy and tired pup waiting for you.

Rachel is fantastic! She helped get my cat adopted into a great home with kind people that love cats. Busker I’m certain is getting more love and attention than when she was with me which is a huge relief to me. Not only that but she is extremely reliable, very kind, and Petey really likes her! Sometimes it can be difficult to get Petey to poop when with walkers, but I know Petey is comfortable and relaxed with her because she’s always able to, which is a huge relief to me. She helps me with Petey every week, I’m lucky to have found her profile here.

​Lainey has been absolutely amazing with our dog, Zuse! She has been a total lifesaver, often making herself available on short notice, which has been a huge blessing for our busy schedule. ​We love her, and more importantly, our fur baby loves her too. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and caring, look no further—you will love her just as much as we do! ​Why we recommend Lainey: ​Reliability: Always there when we need her, even last-minute. ​Bonding: Zuse took to her immediately. ​Peace of Mind: We know our pup is in the best hands.
