About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young and currently have a 4-year-old Samoyed. I’m experienced with energetic breeds, daily exercise, and giving dogs loving attention. I’m available during the week and weekends for walks or drop-ins. Flexible scheduling means your dog gets reliable care, exercise, and attention whenever you need it. In your home, I follow your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles are always provided with care and attention.
About: Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me since I've grown up with them my whole life. I’ve raised multiple pups from their first tail wags to their golden years, and I currently share my life with two of my own. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s a genuine passion. Every dog I care for is treated like family, receiving the same personalized love, patience, and attention I give my own. What truly sets me apart is my intuitive approach to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s helping a nervous pup feel safe, engaging an energetic dog with play and structure, or providing extra comfort and gentle care to seniors, I adapt with heart and experience. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority — and you can rest easy knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. Right now, I have a flexible schedule since I am in medical school and can study at home, which gives me the perfect opportunity to dedicate my time to your pet. Being around pets brings me joy, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. In my home, your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and well-managed environment. I live in an house with two friendly dogs — one small and one medium-sized — who love to socialize and play. I always do a slow, supervised introduction to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I also have crates and indoor fencing available to provide space or separation if needed, so your pup’s safety and comfort are always a priority. I’m also flexible and happy to care for pets in their own homes. Some dogs feel most at ease in their familiar space, and I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent — from feeding schedules to playtime and snuggles. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I treat every dog with the same level of love, attention, and respect I give my own.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in my home for all my life. I have been a doggie foster mom for about 10 years and have had the joy to foster about 34 pups throughout that time with half of them being medical fosters needing some extra love and care. I have had a wide age range from senior dogs to puppies and dealt with many different breads. I currently work part time and am a full time student. I have a big gap of time in between my days so would have some time to fit in my schedule. I have a small backyard but have a dog park in my neighborhood. I have one senior dog that is use to having some extra friends around the house. I love taking a stroll around the neighborhood and playing fetch with dogs!
About: My friends, neighbors are believing me to help them take care of their pets. I think all people are kind on their pets. I live pets! I am working pastime job, I have a lot of time with our pets. I like play with them and they will love me also. I have more flexible time for you to choose, I hope you feel good on my help and believe me to do next time. Be lovely
About: I absolutely love all kinds of dogs, big or small, young or old. I genuinely love being around them and love taking them on walks! From high energy walks to accommodate active dogs to gentle care for senior pets, I tailor my services to suit their individual needs. I’m experienced in handling dogs of all breeds and sizes. Your dog’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I’m here to make sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Please book with me I’d love to walk your dog :) I’d love to walk them during my lunch break or before or after I get off work. I love walking and getting my 10,000 minimum steps daily so I’d love to bring your pup along with me. I have 3 dogs of my own at home and I love taking them on walks morning and night. I love playing with my dogs and seeing them having fun and smelling new smells.
“I had such a great experience with Na Liyah, she took amazing care of my cat, Mochi, with twice a day drop-ins, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. I really appreciated how flexible she was with timing and how consistently she kept me updated.. with the messages and adorable videos made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Mochi can be a little particular, but he warmed up to her, which says a lot about her kindness and fun, easygoing personality. She made sure he was fed, and comfortable, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I definitely recommend Na Liyah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and attentive pet sitter. Mochi and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

I cannot recommend her enough! She took exceptional care of my cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. She is incredibly caring and my cat absolutely adored her. She was flexible, reliable, and trustworthy, and she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos so I always knew how my cat was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands.

Heidi is amazing! Super timely on communications, friendly, my pups loved her and she asked questions about stuff that I failed to mention - showing her dedication to taking great care and being very responsible. We will absolutely trust Heidi with our pups again!

Jillian has been absolutely amazing with Edmundo. Every time I need help, she takes care of him as if he were her own pet. She is always very attentive, kind, and caring, and it gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing he is with someone I can truly trust. Edmundo absolutely loves her, and that says a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and genuinely caring for their pets!

Victoria was an excellent cat sitter! She followed all of my instructions carefully and was wonderful with my cat. She made sure she was well fed, kept everything clean, and spent time playing with her so they felt comfortable and cared for. I appreciated the regular picture updates she sent. She was also very flexible and easy to communicate with. I would definitely trust her to watch my cat again and recommend her to others!
Tyler is seriously the best! We’ve been booking with him for a while now and he’s always dependable and eager to help in any way that he can. He always goes above and beyond for us and our pets.
