About: I have experience dog walking and dog sitting, most importantly making pets feel comfortable and loved in their temporary new home! I have also fostered kittens until they were ready to be adopted! I am currently at home studying for my graduate school entrance exam, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend playing with your pup! I am available to dog sit any day of the week. I have no other pets at home so your pet will receive all my love and attention! I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.

About: I have had dogs and watched family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter in the city, and raised a puppy until he found his forever home for around a year. I work locally and have flexibility to work from home as needed! I am at home all day Fridays and all weekend, and weeknights after 5pm. I have a fully fenced and gated in yard with lighting and will not let your pup out of my sight! I also have a camera at home for if I’m ever out of the house.

About: I’ve been with animals all my life and have cared for dogs, cats and small caged animals. I love animals and if I could have more animals I would. I even work at a doggy day care part time because I love them so much. I’m free most of the day and my schedule should revolve around your animal and their needs. I can accommodate practically anything your pet needs with open arms. At the moment my yard is not fenced in so I just would take them in long walks. I would care to all the needs to the animal and put my all into making them happy.


“We had a very positive meet and greet with Denis and Nikki and their children and Thunder, their dog, awhile back, immediately after which we booked our dog Bailey for an overnight stay that's still to come. But unexpectedly this week I needed daycare for Bailey and so I decided to book Denis and Nikki to see how things went for just a day's stay. I am very pleased to report that it seems to have gone very well. Bailey apparently had a calm and peaceful stay there and got along with everyone, enjoying the opportunity to wander around a nice yard (which she doesn't have at home). Denis and Nikki are very welcoming and responsive, and seem to really love dogs and enjoy looking after them. Their home is well prepared to host doggy guests, with a safety gate inside the front door and lots of places in the house for dogs to make themselves comfortable. I received pictures and a Rover report at the end of the day, listing walks and other notable things that took place, which was nice. I have never had that level of detail provided before with other sitters. I feel very confident about Bailey's upcoming overnight stay, and I'm sure we'll be booking with Denis and Nikki in the future. Thanks for taking good care of Bailey, D & N!”


About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also have 3 years experience working at 2 different animal hospitals and 3 years experience working at a dog daycare as a client care coordinator and puppy preschool supervisor. Special skills include caring for puppies and their specific needs, caring for senior dogs including administering medications, helping dogs with mobility issues, etc. Dog enrichment is my passion! I have a ton of dog toys (that are cleaned regularly!) and assure you I will find your dogs play style, and maybe even discover a hidden play style you didn’t know about! I am currently pet sitting full time leaving me with plenty of time to play with your pups during the day while you are at work, or for overnight sleepovers during the week & weekend. I am also available for weekday walks or runs with your more active doggos. We are apartment living with quick dog park and dog beach access as well as plenty of access to fenced in yards. Also happy to stay in home depending on the needs of your pet.


About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms! Jana and I both work from home, ensuring that there's always someone around during the day to provide company and care for your pet. Occasionally, we may step out for a meal or activity in the evenings or on weekends, but your pet will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. Our cozy home boasts a fenced backyard, providing a safe haven for your pet. We enjoy daily walks in our scenic and relaxing neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise if desired. Our dog Lula is e-collar trained, and is playful with other dogs & humans

About: I've been fortunate to own my last dog for 11 years. I miss him so much. Hope to share my love for dogs with your pup. I can train and take care of the dogs from poppies to seniors. Currently, I work from home and is able to offer frequent and long walks and plenty of attention. I'm available any day of the week. No fenced yard by plenty parks and trails to walk around the neighborhood. Good behavior is reinforced with attention and treats. I make sure dogs always have water available.

About: I have cared for and loved dogs since the age of 12. From puppies to senior dogs I have experienced it all. Our pets are part of the family and deserve love and care as such. I have trained 3 puppies, am well versed in dog training and take all safety precautions. I walk my own dog rain or shine and would love to have your dog along for our little adventures! I have a fenced in yard for free play and a park near by for walks. I have spaces available for in home doggie daycare and overnights as well as occasional walks. Let your mind be at ease knowing your doggo is safe and having fun with me! I have a fenced in yard and 1 sweet male golden retriever/ husky named Mr. Blue. He was socialized since puppyhood and loves to play with other dogs.

About: I’m comfortable taking care of all types of pups, small, big, and even huge! Have only three years of experience but have been walking dogs full time ever since I’ve started :) want to make sure your pup is taken care of and safe at all times! I am a grad student at Northwestern University, however I have lots of extra time when I’m not in classes to give your pup all the attention they need :) I do live in an apartment, but during boarding, me and the pups will go on lots of walks, runs, hikes, whatever your pup needs.

About: I have raised and taken care of many different animals for 14 years. Cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, ferrets, and even a pair of sugar gliders! When my friends and families needed me to take care of their pets I was always there for them. I have experience in both dog sitting and cat sitting and love hanging out with them throughout the day. Raised two kittens to their senior years. One of whom is still thriving at age 16! He has transformed from a house cat to a cat who ventures outdoors now. I have excellent attention to detail and I am happy to accommodate to your pet and any special requests! Looking forwards to meeting you and your pet soon! I work or a hybrid work from home schedule along with my partner who works from home full-time. We should be at home everyday so pets will get our attention at all times of the day. Walks can be handled two to three times a day for dogs. As well as play time for cats and dogs sprinkled throughout the day. I tend to play with animals for at least an hour each day so that they get their exercise in. I like to groom my pets so that their isn’t excess hair flying around the home. Walks for dogs can be scheduled with me whether they need 2 or more walks throughout the day.

About: I am a forever dog lover! Growing up with an 100lb lab and a small beagle, I know how to take care of dogs of all sizes! I recently graduated from the University of Michigan and am home for the summer before moving to NYC! Spending time with dogs is the perfect way for me to spend my last summer at home! At home, I love to give my dog Milo all the attention, but I also know how to make sure he respects space (he’s a very big boy). I would do the same in a clients home—making sure the pet feels taken care of but also respecting any rules or boundaries the client might have.

About: I have several years of experience with dogs. Growing up, I had a family dog and two years ago adopted one of my own. I’ve watched several friends’ pets and there’s nothing I love more than to get outside and walk a pup! I currently work from home, so I’m always available to keep an eye on your dog and tend to their needs! Our dog, Oakley, is very friendly and loves having visitors over! I work from home so I am available most of the day besides when I have meetings. My fiancé and I recently moved to the area, so we’ve been spending most of our weekends hanging around home and exploring the area. We have a dog who loves to cuddle and meet new friends! While we don’t have a fenced in yard, we live in a townhome with quick access outside. We also live steps away from a large park where I walk my pup at least twice a day and would love to take yours as well!
