“I was EXTREMELY anxious about leaving my pet, but Danya made me feel completely at ease from the start. She offered to have a meet and greet which was wonderful! Danya was incredibly kind, communicative, and reassuring. She sent regular updates and photos/videos that helped me relax while I was away. It was clear that she truly cared for my sweet Ava as if she were her own. You can tell how much Ava took to Danya! When I returned, Ava was happy, well cared for, and in great spirits! I’m so grateful to have found Danya and will definitely be booking with her again. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! She has definitely earned the title of “Star sitter”! ❤️”

About: When I was young I grew up with animals. Since then, I have spent a lot of time with my friends and neighbors dogs. For example, I walk my neighbor’s dog everyday (for no fee) as they are an older couple and Chloe waits for me every morning. They joke that she’s my dog. I have pet sat for my friends during their vacations, pregnancies, and chemo appointments. These dogs have a special trust with me so their owners always feel comfortable when they’re away. I usually send pictures etc to update how they’re doing. One special picture was of the dog lying on the baby blanket that the parents had sent from the hospital. The mother said she burst into tears of gratitude. I have a job where I’m actively at work only 3 days a week. I spend my off days outdoors hiking usually which makes dog sitting / walking perfect. When I stay in the clients home, I try to keep to the schedule that is already known to the animal. At my own home, I do have a fenced in area. There are neighborhood dogs that can come and play if the dog is sociable.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own- making sure they're not just safe, but also happy, and well cared for. I follow instructions closely and communicate clearly with pet owners. Pet care is an important part of my daily and waekly routine. I currently care for my own dog, Boston Terrier, who is 15. Her name is Lola. I make sure she is fed, walked and taken care of. Since she's a senior dog, I make sure I stay alert to her health and behavior. I make sure my dog has a clean, safe space, fresh food, and water, regular exercise as she permits, and lots of hugs and kisses. I make sure they are comfortable and well-monitored throughout the day.

About: I grew up on a farm, and always cared for multiple dogs at the same time. My wife and I have had, or cared for dogs almost all our adult lives. I enjoy caring for dogs and spending time walking with them, playing with them, and just being with them. I recently retired, and my wife works from home, so we’re both here all day. I take daily walks, and spend a lot of time outdoors. I have a good-sized yard, live in a quiet neighborhood, and my property borders conservation land. I can easily accommodate a crate, dog bed, etc.

About: As an experienced pet-owner and dog walker, I understand the different needs of a variety of dogs. From taking care of my German Shepherds, Pitt/Boxer mix and Jug (Jack Russell Terrier/Pug), I have learned to read the body language of dogs and can cater to their specific needs. As a sitter, I will ensure your dog receives ample attention and exercise, and is comfortable in a new environment. I have experience boarding in the past, and understand the responsibility of having someone’s pet in my care. I will treat your pet as if it’s my own! As a walker, I will adventure with your pooch, giving them the appropriate amount of movement and fresh air they need to stay happy until their parent(s) return. My apartment is pet-friendly and kept clean for optimal safety and comfort. I am currently in between jobs so am very flexible and can cater to your needs. I have a car and can travel as well. I treat all clients homes with respect and am observant of my surroundings. We can go over any ground rules together beforehand to ensure clear communication.

About: I’m a recovered former government employee transitioning back to something I love - working with pets! I am committed to providing your furry family members with the attention, exercise, and care they deserve when you're unable to do so. My flexible, part-time availability allows me to focus completely on each pet during our time together, ensuring they receive quality, undivided attention. I have extensive experience in pet-care, and began my career working at a well-regarded pet hotel in a past life! I have a flexible schedule right now, and will work with you to find availability that works for you and your pet so that you can pursue your personal and professional activities with the peace of mind that your pet is cared for. I understand the importance of home security and respect for your private space. I'm happy to work with you to access your home in the most secure way possible, and will ensure a safe and secure visit for both you and your pet.

About: At 19, I’m a passionate dog lover who has been caring for my two poodles and other dogs for years. With extensive experience, I provide personalized care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. You can trust that your furry friend/s will receive all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. My work schedule keeps me busy, but I make pet care a priority. I often dog-sit and walk during my free time, allowing for flexible arrangements that ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m committed to providing loving care while balancing my responsibilities. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with plenty of space to play and relax. I ensure they have access to fresh water, toys, and cozy spots to rest. During walks, I maintain their routines and provide engaging activities. In my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' comfort and follow any specific instructions provided. I maintain a clean and secure space, offer companionship, and keep them engaged with playtime and exercise. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with love and attention to ensure they feel at ease.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep sense of responsibility, patience, and genuine love for animals. I bring hands-on experience caring for both high-energy puppies and older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra attention. Whether it’s sticking to a consistent potty-training routine, handling medications, or just providing a calm and comforting presence, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive, reliable, and make sure to communicate clearly with owners so they feel at ease every step of the way. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow walks, or a little bit of both, I’m here to give them the quality care and affection they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, especially since I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule. It allows me to spend meaningful time with animals throughout the day while still being attentive and consistent with their needs. Caring for pets is not just something I enjoy—it brings balance to my day, keeps me active, and adds a sense of purpose. I love being able to provide companionship and care, whether it's morning walks, mid-day playtime, or relaxing evenings together. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I prioritize comfort, routine, and safety. I create a calm and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I stick closely to their usual feeding, potty, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow detailed instructions, and make sure their pet feels relaxed in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s walks, medication, or cuddle time, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs.
