About: Not only have I grown up with several dogs my whole life, I have experience pet sitting and dog walking them and neighbors and other family members pets as well. Along with these services, I love running with dogs so I welcome high energy pups. I currently work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am available for pet sitting weekday afternoons after 1pm and on weekends. For dog walking and other services I am usually available times additional to these including morning hours. I'm always happy to spend all of my time when I'm not working with one of your pups! I live close to several dog friendly parks and love to walk around the city which is perfect for walking dogs. I grew up with and love dogs so much and need somewhere to put that love while my two doggos are home with my parents! I also have experience taking care of dogs with anxiety and administering oral medications. I'm always willing and happy to do anything you need to make sure you are at ease when I'm taking care of your pets and your pets have the best experience as well.
“Marnie was so amazing with Binx and Penelope. When I came home they were not missing any love! Thank you so much, Marnie, for everything. Made my trip so much better knowing they were in good hands.”
“Melissa went above and beyond when caring for my cat. She was a very friendly and calm presence for my senior cat. She communicated clearly and even brought in my packages without me asking! Highly recommend!!”
“Amanda was wonderful as always taking care of my cats! My boys have anxiety when I’m gone but they come out and say hi to her which is a testament to her demeanor with animals.”
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs and they've always been a big part of my life! Now I'm living in the west village so your four-legged friend awaits walks along the water and plays in the park! I'm working from home all days of the week, so your pet will never be alone! I have a flexible job which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pet and go for walks! I have an apartment in the west village which has 4 different sections: living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It's a very safe area and the previous tenant had a very happy life with her dog so it's definitely suitable!
About: I grew up with dogs and continued pup sitting for friends when I could after college. Just started a sabbatical from my job in finance so I have all the free time to take care of your best pals! On sabbatical so my schedule is very flexible. If I don’t have anything planned on the weekend, I might head out to the beach for a couple of days but open to discussing scheduling. I live in a very pet friendly building. In fact, during my interview with the coop board they asked why I didn’t have a dog at the time! I live on a quiet street in the west village, close to dog parks as well as the west side highway for plenty of open air. I also enjoy running if your pet is up for a jog.
“Erika was great! She responded quickly, and made sure that my cat had everything she needed while I was gone for a week. She was respectful and very communicative. Huge fan!”
“Megan was 100% fab - she was my two cat babies’ first Rover sitter while I was out of town and they can’t stop meowing about her. It was obvious she cared for their well being and I felt comfortable being away and having her feed them, take care of their business, and give them the pets they demanded! (Photos to prove it!) Would definitely reach out to her first in the future. Thanks, Megan!”
About: I’m a student with a real love for animals. At 17, I started walking dogs for neighbors in my gated community. I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a flexible schedule, especially in the mornings and early afternoons. I also have free time on weekends. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy staying active, being outdoors, and spending time with animals—it doesn’t feel like work to me! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I always make sure pets are in a safe, calm, and clean environment. I follow any special instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, medication, or routines—and I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes for safety. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free.
“Man is a really great cat sitter. We were always able to go away and come home stress free. Very accomodating and professional. And played with our cat. If we weren't moving we would look forward to using him again”
About: In addition to raising my own dog, Noomi, a four-year old Samoyed, I have spent the past few summers dog and cat sitting. It’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had, and my favorite part is taking my new friends out to explore! It’s a joy to see how curious and playful they can get. My schedule is incredibly flexible and I’m open to last minute calls! I’m doing pet-care full time for the summer. I aim to be as accommodating as possible to client’s busy schedules and changing plans. My goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible, whether they are more social and friendly or a homebody, I’m willing to make adjustments according to their accustomed lifestyle and personality. I can take extra requests, from administering medicine to special dietary needs and trips to the dog park. Anything I can do to keep your pets happy and healthy can be considered!
About: I've grown up with all sorts of pets and learned to take care of them at a young age. I've watched after friends' and neighbors' pets for walks, feedings, and some with special needs requiring medicine and timely attention. I work full time, but have a flexible schedule. I am available for walks during the day, and longer visits in the morning and the afternoon. Both weekends and weeknights I am local and available. I plan to follow all instructions a client gives regarding their pet no matter how extensive. I love going on daily walks by myself, so doing so with a pet is even better. They deserve all of the exercise and love I can give while their owner is gone.
“Victoria is the best sitter! I’ve worked with her multiple times and she is attentive, thoughtful and genuinely loves spending time with my sweet Harold. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Samantha is the best! This is the second time we have booked her to watch our cat, Chester. She is communicative, includes updates with photos and a bunch of details, and is so great with Chester :)”
“Amanda provided excellent care to my puppy and followed all of the care instructions. I am very happy and I can tell my puppy was happy too! I look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Arial is wonderful I could not be more pleased with how well she took care of our dogs. I felt so comfortable traveling knowing our pups were in good hands. Planning to use her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, when I met my first best friend, Sasha (a yorkie!) I’m patient and calm, making me a good fit for all dogs. My previous work schedule got me used to waking up early, so if an early walk is ideal to avoid the heat/crowds, I can make that work. If your friend is high energy, I’m happy to take them for a run along the WSH! I have a very flexible schedule as I’m working on a few personal projects. Available through the early morning to early evening; late night walks are tough for my schedule. I am here to accommodate you and your companions: I follow instructions precisely, will treat your home with respect, communicate with detailed updates, and ensure I secure any doors/gates.
