About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and currently share my home with my calm, well-trained 8-year-old German Shepherd. I offer dog walking and small-dog boarding in a low-volume, home-style setting where your dog will receive individualized care, attention, and plenty of love. I intentionally keep bookings limited so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and caring for senior dogs. I understand how important it is to maintain routines and provide reliable, consistent care while you’re away. I also have a toddler, which means I’m especially mindful of safety, boundaries, and gentle handling. For this reason, I only accept small dogs who are friendly with children and other dogs. All interactions are supervised, and dogs are never left unattended together. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is cared for as if they were my own. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure it’s a great fit for everyone! Pet care fits easily into our daily routine. My husband works from home full-time, so there is always someone home. I also work a hybrid schedule and am home most of the week. This allows for frequent potty breaks, supervision, and lots of attention throughout the day. Safety is always my top priority. I provide a calm, supervised home environment and keep a low number of dogs to ensure everyone feels comfortable. All interactions are closely monitored, dogs are never left unattended together, and I only accept dogs who are a good fit for my home. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free space where dogs feel secure and cared for.

About: 🐾 Growing up, I always dreamed of being a vet. Then I realized that I’m bad at sciences. 😂 I love animals and I believe that animals should be treated with love and respect.

I would love to have a conversation with you in order to get to know you and more about your furry friend! I’m currently transitioning out of my current job and will have more than enough time to take care and love on your pet! I like to take walks around my neighborhood daily. I do not have any of my own pets. In client’s homes, I am respectful and follow their rules and guidelines. I want to make sure my client is comfortable before anything else.

About: I’ve been a dog person since I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds most of my life. In more recent years I’ve taken care of various size dogs, mostly from family and friends. l’m friendly with animals, I would argue to say I’m a dog whisperer. Like Allstate, your pup will be in good hands. I will gladly send you videos and picture updates of your furry companion! I‘m also happy to play with them using their favorite toy(s) and don’t mind giving good belly rubs and head massages. A little TLC goes a long way.🐶 I work in biotech, so I have the flexibility to work from home and remotely. This allows me to give plenty of attention to your pup. I’m available to provide various services most days of the week/weekend with enough notice. I live alone in an apartment. I have hardwood floors throughout, with an area rug in the living room, and plenty of space for your dog to roam about. I have easy access to dog parks. I have a small patio and can crate your pet if required at times otherwise, my home is their home!

“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!”

About: Caring for pets is something that truly means a lot to me. I love giving animals the chance to feel loved, safe, and happy while also being able to explore their surroundings in a secure and positive way.

Additionally, my neighborhood is quiet and safe, making it perfect for enjoyable walks and outdoor exploration.

About: I have been surrounded by all sizes and temperaments of dogs for most of my life. I was always the go- to dog sitter for family and neighbors beginning around the time I was 10! In high-school, I volunteered at the Humane Society, doing kennel maintenance, dog walking, feeding, and play-time. I later performed these same duties in college when I worked as a kennel assistant in veterinary clinic that provided pet boarding. In this position, I was also required to administer medication and give baths. I went on to become a Special Education Teacher and acquired a facilty dog to be a part of my classroom. In order for this to happen, I was required to attend a 2-week intensive training at Canine Companions for Independence, where I learned a lot about dog behavior, care, and handling. I sustained a knee injury in 2024 that prevents me from rigorous walks, but I am certainly able to provide shorter, basic walks, playtime, and take care of all feeding, bathroom needs. I would love to help you out if you ever need a little extra help to make sure your pup feels safe and loved! I am available Monday-Friday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. I can also do evenings from 5-9 pm, Mondays through Fridays. Weekend, holidays, and over-night stays just depending on when, but I do often have flexibility during these times. I can provide care in clients homes by following all requested duties. I am able to video and take pictures throughout my care time, and will readily communicate/share consistently with the clients.
