About: I’ve taken care of and had several dogs my whole life! I had 4 dogs growing up and have a lot of experience walking/ playing/ being around dogs! I have my own cat now named, Momo! Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for days/ weeks at a time. I’m a middle school teacher off for summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I’m currently working part time in the summers and able to play and walk dogs for most of the day. I am available from 8 am- 3:30pm. I have a cat of my own and have had multiple dogs growing up. I am able to feed, walk, play and provide assistance! I can put them back in a crate if needed.

“Meg & Jeremiah are dog lovers who took great care of my canine companions and let me know how things were going. I would use their services again in the future for sure.”

“Katie was awesome - it was so nice to know Althea was getting some attention when I was gone for a wedding, and I loved the photos to remind me that she was in good hands. Thank you, Katie!”

About: I have been dog sitting since a very young age, whether it’s letting out my neighbors dog everyday and walking it while also dog sitting as families and friends go on vacations! My connection of families that I have dog sat for came about from word of mouth and recommending me to others! I have a full time job Monday-Friday, although most evenings are free and weekends! I am able to provide care after work early evening or later! I do have a fenced yard at my house although dogs are not allowed in my home. I am willing to care for dog’s in the client’s home.

About: Hi, My name is Lea and I am so excited to look after your dog! I have been boarding dogs for nearly 10 years now and what I enjoy most about this job is getting an opportunity to love on so many different pups! I have watched massive breeds such as Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Dobermans, and Dogue de Bordeauxs to puppy Shih-poos and everything in between. I like to think of myself as you dog's favorite auntie. I often shower my clients with gifts from PetSmart (because I just can't help myself!) and snuggles in the bed or on the couch. I have experience caring for seniors and puppies. I am very attentive to their needs and more than willing to send as many updates as you desire. I live on the 1st floor of my apartment complex with my husband and two young boys. I am only a few yards away from a fenced in dog park. I also live two blocks away from a large park where there is much more space to stretch out our legs on long walks and roll around in the grass. Although I am primarily home, I prefer to use a dog crate for when I step out for errands. So if possible, please be ready to send a crate along. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! : )

About: Hello! Nice to meet you, I'm Nick. I offer comprehensive pet care, backed by my lifelong experience growing up with both cats and dogs. I've cared for a variety of breeds, from Great Danes and German Shepherds to miniature poodles and tabby cats. My partner and I currently have two cats of our own, Calcifer and Ponyo, whom we’ve lovingly cared for over the past seven years. I’m dedicated to providing attentive and personalized care for every pet I look after. Some of my favorite hobbies include trying out the local coffee shops, traveling, and catching a show with friends. I currently work fully remote, so I tend to set my own schedule making it very flexible to give your pet the attention they need. I am always attentive and mindful to any animal in my care. It is important to me that your pet is getting the attention they deserve while in my care.

“Lexi took care of our cat while we were away for 10 + days. She dropped in 2 times a day, fed her, cleaned her litter and the surrounding floor, brushed her, brought our mail in, put the garbage bins out on pick up days. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Scarlet was well taken care of! Thank you. Lexi!”

“Elizabeth was very kind and patient with Letty. She takes many photos and gives us updates on the visit. She even left Letty a treat bag. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks Elizabeth!”

About: I had my own dog for over 14 years, and have always loved being around others' pets. Throughout my twenties, I frequently house and pet sat for employers, family members, and friends; though I currently prefer shorter visits, I may be open to overnights with established clients. My career as a Postpartum Care Specialist has helped me become more in tune with subtle non-verbal cues from tiny humans and fluffy creatures alike. I also have a special place in my heart for gentle giants and senior dogs. I run my own business working perinatally with families, so pet owners who want someone to pop in midday through early evening will likely be the best fit. Since I make my own schedule, however, I can be flexible when able to plan ahead. Similarly to tiny humans, building mutual trust comes with time and a gentle approach. I always wait to greet a pet until they have calmed down and respect their space. I prefer when pet parents fill me in on their animals' routine as well as any quirks they have, so that I can care for them as seamlessly as possible.

About: I first discovered what it meant to truly love a dog while growing up with my beloved labradoodle, Charley, who was part of my life for 15 years. After he passed, I wanted to continue sharing that love with other dogs, which led me to volunteer as a dog handler and walker at City Dogs. At the shelter, I regularly take dogs on walks, runs, hikes, and special outings, and I’ve also had the opportunity to foster. This experience has taught me how to safely and compassionately care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs—especially bully breeds, who are often misunderstood and come from backgrounds of abuse or neglect. Working with these dogs has helped me develop patience, strong handling skills, and an understanding of how to build trust with animals who may be fearful or unsure. I prioritize being a calm, safe, and reliable person for every dog I care for, and I love helping them experience what it feels like to be treated with kindness, love, and respect. I’m currently a graduate student pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work an internship part-time 3 days a week, so I would love to spend my days off with your pups! I provide attentive, reliable care whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in your home. My experience with City Dogs has taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable walking strong pullers, shy dogs, and high-energy pups who need extra exercise. During walks, I prioritize keeping dogs safe and happy. I always make sure collars and harnesses are secure, avoid unsafe situations, and adjust the pace and length of the walk to fit each dog’s comfort level. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and having a great time. Volunteering ant City Dogs has taught me how important patience and gentle handling are, especially for dogs who may be nervous or adjusting to new people. My goal is always to make every pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited for their next walk.

“She was great with my very senior golden retriever. Would definitely recommend her. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing and gave lots of love and attention.”

“I started with a meet and greet because my cat is a covid rescue, and very shy of new people. Mae-Ling immediately rubbed up against her and didn’t hide under the couch. Bethany was very sweet and patient so that my cat could feel safe around her. I’m looking forward to Bethany sitting for me during my upcoming travels!”

About: Hi! I’m Colleen, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your feline family members in someone else’s care. As a proud pet parent to a bustling crew of four cats, Anubis, Momo, Tigger, and Vader, I am incredibly attuned to the unique personalities, quirks, and needs of our feline companions. My true passion and expertise lie with cats. Whether your pet is a playful kitten who needs to burn off energy, a food motivated lounger, or a shy rescue who prefers quiet companionship from a distance, I adapt my approach to make sure they feel safe and loved on their own terms. What I Offer: Feline Expertise: From immaculate litter box maintenance and precise meal times to providing interactive play and chin scratches (only if they’ll allow it!). I am very comfortable reading subtle feline body language. Peace of Mind: I am highly organized, detail oriented, and communicative. You can expect frequent updates and plenty of photos of your kitties having a peaceful, stress free time while you’re away. I am currently serving the Lakewood area and would love to meet you and your cats to see if we're a perfect match!

About: Hello! I am so excited to get to know the lovely furry neighbors of my community! I have grown up my entire life around dogs and all types of animals. I currently have two family dogs myself I walk when I visit my childhood home, each with their own unique personality when it comes to walking, so I completely understand the key to a good walk is patience and awareness for the dogs energy. I started walking dogs from a very early age, so I have lots of experience. I promise your fur babies will have the greatest time and be in safe hands! Plus, I love taking as many photos as I can 💗 I currently work full-time but typically have mornings free, Wednesday’s and Sunday’s free. I always try and make time for dog walks and I’m very communicative about whether or not a walk time would work for me. In my home I have parks nearby and a nicely sized living room. At clients homes I’m always very respectful of the space and typically try to take the dog out for walks as much as possible if that’s their energy.

“Olesja is the best of the best. Our pup was recovering from surgery this week but stayed so happy and relaxed with all of the puzzles, scent work, and training games Olesja did with him!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals. I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have two cats of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with medical needs. I have experience administering oral medications and monitoring chronic conditions. As an incoming medical student, I’m highly detail-oriented, responsible, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter working with feral cats to help socialize them for adoption. This experience strengthened my patience, confidence, and ability to read animal body language — especially with shy, anxious, or high-energy pets. In addition to cats and dogs, I’m comfortable caring for bunnies, turtles, and other small animals. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. You can expect consistent communication, photo updates, and dependable care every time. I work full-time from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays and am an incoming medical student. I’m available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and flexible weekend scheduling. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I prioritize reliability to ensure your pets are well cared for. Whether I’m caring for cats or dogs, I prioritize safety and routine. I follow feeding instructions carefully, refresh water, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide enrichment tailored to your pet’s needs. I treat every home with respect and always communicate clearly with updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

“Christabel was excellent. She responded quickly to my initial inquiry and kept me informed throughout the visit period. I received pictures twice a day and saw my cat becoming progressive more and more comfortable with her. The final nap on her lap melted me! Christabel is responsible, caring, and considerate. Highly recommend.”
