“Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!”

“Tara was easy to reach, gave updates on my dog when I was out of town, and offered to do a meet and greet before hand. I would highly recommend her!”

“Emily loves my dog as if he were my own. I see their connection when they’re together. She takes them for walks and gives him approved treats for interaction. She even provides treat puzzles!”

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from small breed seniors to high-energy breeds. Jinger (My own pup) is a 6-year-old Female Malinois-Lab mix, so I’m especially familiar with energetic dogs who need structure, attention, and enrichment to thrive.  Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs with unique needs—including leash reactivity, anxiety, and medical routines. The wonderful folks at Southside pet shop had taught me Animal Husbandry by the book (literally). During my time there I had taken care of a wide variety of pets in a professional setting. I comfortable caring cats, and exotic pets too- I am more than at home in a multi-pet household.  I ALWAYS approach every pet with patience and empathy. I understand that every animal is different, so I change my care-style (never quality!) to match their needs—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles or medical needs.  If you need drop-in visits, house sitting, or just someone to give your dog an afternoon potty break, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and loved. You can expect daily updates and plenty of photos, Rest assured! Pet sitting is my full-time profession and passion, alongside my work as a freelance artist. I have professional experience in animal husbandry; I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy doing both traditional and digital art; my favorite are pet portraits! If there is downtime while I am petsitting, I’m usually doing art! In both my own home and when caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owners instructions, because I understand this routine is in place to keep them comfortable, and healthy. This includes using toys, treats and games to make their day rewarding and fun. Maintaining a clean environment is a top priority; food and water bowls are washed regularly and I always make sure each pet is fed according to their specified guidelines.

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! Ever since I was a child, I've had a very strong connection with the furry friends around me! I always take the extra time to learn as much as I can about a pet's habits, likes/dislikes, etc. It's my personal goal to make the world a better place for every person (and pet) around me :) My schedule is currently wide open, so I can work with almost any time frame that works for you! I am looking to make animal care my full time career! At my own home, I have a fenced-in yard and a very loving and playful canine companion who is always ready to meet new friends! I have a wealth of experience when it comes to helping animals feel safe and secure.

About: I have had fur babies all my life. From puppy stage to senior care. They are truly part of the family. I look forwards to loving on yours I have the please of working from home, fitting your pet into my daily routine would be identical to how I am able to send time with my own. I have a huge fenced in yard. I have one fur baby he is a bernedoodle who is turning two at the end of this year. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company. So I am able to provide each pet with the love they need I have very limited space on how many dogs I will keep at once. If your pet enjoys walks, we will go on walks, enjoy fetch in the backyard, we will play fetch in the back yard. Your pet is part of my family once you guys enter my home. I do have children who love to run around with animals also.

“He’s awesome!! He’s the only person I’d let walk shi, she don’t like many people but absolutely loves him. His energy is great!”

About: - puppy care as young as 6 weeks - elder cat and dog care - medicinal administration: oral medication for cats & dogs, IV administration for dogs - rodent & semi exotic pet care: hamster, free roam rabbits, small turtles, fish Just graduated college back in May and have plenty of time on my hands to care for some furry friends :) Currently unemployed, so my schedule is fully open! My own pets have always been trained and have grown up in a free roam environment, no cages, allowed on furniture, etc. As for watching others pets, I strictly follow any sort of requirements/preferences they have for their pets and treat their pets with love as if they were my own :)

About: There is nothing in the world like a dog. I absolutely love them all. Four legged monsters looking for a good time and I love it. I am a tennis pro and I usually travel for work so when I’m home, I’m free to watch the dogs almost all the time. Being a tennis pro, I keep some tennis balls within arms reach. Outside of the fun stuff though, I’m practically always available and what better way to use that time than to play with dogs. At my home it is fenced in so my dogs have a place to run around. With the clients home, I can make it fun and safe within the parameters that they set like I’ve done in my home.

“Dillon was EXCELLENT with my dog. I gave him a hyper cattle dog and I got one very tuckered out pup back. He followed my care instructions to a T and took it upon himself to bring my packages in for me. Will be booking with Dillon again!”

About: I have many years of experience caring for friendly dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, loving and responsible, and I make sure each dog feels safe, calm and happy while their owners are away. I do walks, feeding, playtime and follow any routine you need. I also care for small pets in cages or terrariums, such as hamsters, rabbits, hedgehogs, geckos, small lizards and similar animals. Their care is simple but important, and I always keep their water, food and space clean and safe. I work part-time, so I have flexible availability during afternoons, evenings and weekends. Your pet will always receive attention, affection and the routine you request. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a lot of flexibility to take care of and play with your pets. I am available during the week in the afternoons and evenings, and on weekends I have more open hours for walks, visits or longer stays. I always make sure to organize my time so that your pets receive all the attention and affection they need. The safety and comfort of pets is my priority. In your home I always follow your instructions to maintain your routines, while in mine I offer a clean, safe and loving space. I make sure they have fresh water, regular walks and constant supervision. I can also administer food or medicines according to the indications. My goal is that your furry ones feel calm and happy, and that you have the confidence that they are in good hands

“Chakra’s first week with Amber has been awesome. It’s been really great for him to have a midday pickup and walk. I can truly see a difference in his temperament.”

About: I have three dogs, one old man and two semi-puppies. I have always had dogs and cats growing up. My dogs are my whole world. I work from home and only leave my house to do instacart deliveries periodically. I am home mostly all day taking care of my babies. I have done a lot of research on taking care of dogs in the past before I adopted my own. I understand the importance of always keeping an eye on them and knowing what to watch out for.

About: Over a decade of experience training and caring for dogs! I've been training and caring for dogs since high school. As a four year long project I bred and trained dogs as emotional support animals for student athletes with career ending injuries. I have experience with multiple breeds and a wide array of behavior and personality. Don't let an inferior pet sitter disrupt your companion's lifestyle! I am familiar with standard and specialized techniques for training, walking, and excersizing. I want to work with your dog's typical behavior and routine. I'm a professional with passion. I love animals; furry, feathered, scaled... I will take the care of your dog seriously and love every minute of it, so will your canine! Book today for energetic, enthusiastic and experienced service! I work full-time as an adoption coordinator; pets are my passion. Though I work an 8-hour day I can be with your pet(s) immediately before and after my shift. My days off rotate through the week from month to month but they are always consecutive. I can make accommodations in some cases and consolidate my breaks to make a mid-day drop-in for medications or potty breaks for senior and juvenile dogs. Safety is always a priority. I'm always cautious when entering and leaving a residence ensuring the property is secure and that no one escapes as I open doors. I've always been a big believer in leaving things better than I found it. I always wash and return any dishes I use and I often give the floors a sweep during my last visit, especially if you have a shedder.

About: My beloved family dog passed away right before COVID and left a animal shaped hole in my heart. I’ve been watching dogs ever since and love enjoying all their different personalities. If you’re looking for someone to absolutely love on your pet, I’m your gal. I’m extremely flexible and understand that everyone prefers to raise their pets differently and I will respect all those needs during my time with your pet. I am open to most any accommodations needed. I love going on walks, runs, and hikes with the active dogs but I also LOVE being cozy in the house with sleepier pets. At the end of the day I’m just a girl that wants to love on your pet as much as you do! I am a local graphic designer. I have the convenient ability to work from home when desired so my weekday and weekend schedule is flexible. I live in a home without a fenced in backyard but am in walking distance to a park. I do live with my boyfriend and he is always begging me to watch more dogs so he will provide extra EXTRA loving on top of my own. As for house sitting I always respect your space and always try to leave it better than when I came.

About: I have two cats of my own, Emerald and Allie! The entire rest of my family are dog owners, as well as the majority of my friends, and I have spent lots of time over the years helping take care of their pets! Whether it be visiting several times a day to take their dogs out, or fully staying in their home for a week or more at a time. I am always willing to do what’s needed to make pet parents feel comfortable while they’re away! I work full time at a non-profit, but my job is very flexible and most days I work from home! I especially always have evenings and weekends pretty open. I never bring pets into my own home because I am very cautious about how my cats will react. When I enter other people’s homes, I try to work with the owner first to make sure their pet is comfortable with me before leaving. I treat all pets as if they are my own, often referring to them as my nieces and nephews, so rest assured that your pet will be just as spoiled as mine for the times I am with them! I follow ALL instructions given to me by pet parents, and check in anytime I have questions.

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up, our family dog recently just died of old age.. and think it’s probably to soon to get another dog so we’re going to take baby steps. I’m currently working part time, I have a 4 year old son who loves animals so feel it would be great to take on pet sitting part time.. I have a spacious home & also a fenced in back yard for dogs to easily roam around and be comfortable inside or outside etc.

About: I'm a freelance artist and mostly work from my laptop, which allows me to hang out with your pet(s) pretty much the entire time. We'll cuddle, and go on walks, and play outside, and I'll give them lots of loving pets. I will also send you frequent photos of them, since I know how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else's care. For me, dog sitting is more than just making some extra money...it's therapy. I am unable to have a dog of my own at this time so I am looking for some dog friends who will help to fill that void. I have yet to meet a dog I didn't like (even the crazy ones), so I'm sure your pet and I will get along swimmingly. I mostly work from home so I will be with your dog most, if not all of the time. I especially love longer stays, but open to just about any length of time. Lots of pets and cuddles! I love taking them on walks, or just hanging out in my fenced backyard. I live near Iroquois park, so that’s also a favorite activity.
