About: I’m a recent college graduate with a huge love of dogs! I’ve owned several dogs my whole life, many types (Lab, Pitbull, Australian Cattle Dog). My family and I have fostered over 5 different dogs in the last couple of years. My sister is a professional dog trainer and I’ve watched her work for many years! My mom has been pet sitting for Rover for years so I’ve gotten very used to working with all sorts of dogs on a weekly basis. I love caring for animals, especially taking them on walks and giving them baths :) Since I just graduated, I’m looking to do something fun to fill up my time! I’m free whenever and I can go where ever :) I’m super attentive when it comes to dogs needs. At home, I try to walk my dogs at least once a day and I’m always picking up on cues when they need to go outside.

About: Own a Shepherd-Chow mix and a short hair cat. I also routinely babysit for a family friend's golden retriever and house sit while they are away on vacations. I house sit for a friend with 3 cats on occasion. I also have experience giving shots to animals with medical issues if necessary. I work part time during the summer and am looking to supplement my teaching career. Would love to meet you and your animal(s) if you’d like before I take care of your fur babies! Over the summer I work part time and have plenty of time for walks and/or drop ins. Schedule changes weekly but not by much definitely able to accommodate your needs. During most weekdays I am a teacher so I will be out of the house 7-3:30 (unless there is a vacation or holiday) I shower all my pets with love at every chance I get. I am all about the belly rubs and my animals know it and love it!

“Diana was absolutely wonderful with my girls. She took my dog for very long walks and made sure everyone was fed with fresh water. Responsible and responsive. Will definitely hire again.”

“Emma was great. The animals loved her. She was very reliable and punctual. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life! Due to my shift schedule as a nurse, I can’t get one of my own just yet! I go on walks a few times a day and would love to have a furry friend by my side during them I’m currently a registered nurse working 3 12-hour shifts. This leaves me home in the middle of the week when everyone else is at work! I have grown up surrounded by dogs and would be sure to make your pet feel comfortable and safe! Walking, playing, whatever is needed to make your pet happy!

About: Hi! I’m Kim — a lifelong dog lover, wellness-minded caregiver, and proud dog mom to my puppy, Saint 🐾 Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve grown up around dogs, adopted through the North Shore Animal League America, and have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and local clients. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely loving. My approach is calm, nurturing, and intuitive. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a peaceful presence, I adapt to their personality and needs to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. You can expect: • Reliable communication & frequent photo updates • Gentle, attentive care • A clean, calm, stress-free environment • Plenty of affection, patience, and playtime • Someone who treats your dog like family As a wellness practitioner, I naturally bring a grounded, calming energy into the care I provide — and animals tend to respond really well to that. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’m committed to making both you and your dog feel completely at ease 🤍 I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure. I have a small fenced-in yard and live within walking distance of a dog park, as well as many beautiful local spots perfect for walks and outdoor time. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos/ videos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.

“Jo was great with our cats they were very happy when we came home!”

I am also currently working in a veterinary clinic on top of being a veterinary student, so I’m constantly improving my education and experience with pet health. My boyfriend (Steven) is also a pet sitter and has a dog (Cho) currently, and has extensive experience caring for dogs. He may join me for some pet sitting gigs unless you prefer just me or him, the pricing does not change.

We are dedicated to providing quality and reliable care and will communicate with you on how we can be the best caregivers.

About: Our pets change our lives for the better and I want to make sure they’re well taken care of too. By making connections via talking, playing, training, and grooming I pride myself in providing full care for my furry friends. I make training fun and learn their individual strengths! Pet care is an essential part in my daily routine. Each day begins by walking my pup, refreshing her water and food bowls. At the end of the day, I’m cleaning and prepping to start out routine over, putting toys away and doing our last walk of the night. I love taking my pups out downtown or to the dog park. If it’s dog-friendly, why aren’t we bringing the beans?! Everyone is always happy, fed, hydrated, and well played with. Pet hygiene and environmental cleanliness go hand in hand. I like to make sure I’m keeping my home clean for my pets. After all they play, lounge, and sleep in our home. The least we can do is make sure the space is free of dangerous objects or potential choking hazards. We also use pet gates in our home to ensure pet safety when cooking/cleaning/moving furniture.

About: Recently graduated from medical school and looking to make some new furry friends before starting residency! My family always had at least 2 dogs growing up that I helped raise and watch as well as caring for friends' and family's dogs from time to time. I am currently off before starting residency in mid-June so can be flexible with your schedule as needed. Available mornings, afternoons, or nights, as well as weekends. I live in an apartment building with a nice long walking path by the water as well as many open grassy fields for your pup to play in!

“Gianna was great! Lots of updates and took great care of our cats. Will definitely use her again.”

“Katherine is amazing! She’s so sweet and a lover of all animals. I forgot to make accommodations for our pets prior to an overnight wedding. Katherine responded quickly and put me at ease that my furry friends were in good hands from the moment I met her (it was my first using a sitter and just moved to the area). It was such a bonus that she is studying to be a veterinarian. I’ve recommended her to my neighbors already.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. Currently, my family has one high energy black lab. In September of 2024, I also adopted my first own dog, Millie! I have watched, played with, fed, and walked dogs for many years including family and friends. I am currently in my final year of veterinary school. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant so have first aid and medical skills. I’m in my clinical year of vet school so my schedule varies by which rotation I’m on! Early morning and evening would probably be best for me most of the time. I try to update my availability calendar as often as I can! My home is very safe. There are plenty of paths and green spaces for walking. Your animal would have to get up one flight of steps.

About: I've had pets ever since I was born so I have a lot of experience taking care of them! I've helped out neighbors walk their dogs often and always enjoy it! I've had a dog for 10 years so I know a dogs routine! I volunteered at Cove Animal Rescue taking care of cats for a few months (as well as the 2 I have at home!). I’m currently a full time student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice so my availability will probably be limited but I will try my best to hopefully make myself available to be able to attend to your pets needs! I enjoy spending time with my dog and 2 cats when I’m home and always try to attend to their needs as much as I can. I'm a big animal person so I'm always glad to do it!

“Sydney was awesome. She gave good updates and took good care of my senior dog. Definitely recommend.”

About: I am a (pet) mom to our large cat, Baxter and larger lab mix, Jack! Jack is full of energy and love which allows me to tackle any mood your pup may be in! Baxter loves being the center of attention and he certainly gets all the love and play time that allows. I am more than happy to get to know your pets and care for them as if they were my own! I am currently a contract working allowing me to have flexibility in my schedule. I usually have availability before 9am, a couple hours for lunch and after 7pm! I have experience with dog crates, harnesses, different collars and gates if those are options for your pup. I have dealt with soft and hard food as well as different supplements.

About: I like to joke that I was “raised by Rottweilers,” because at three months old my parents delivered a litter of rottie pups. We always had rotties growing up until we got into rescuing mastiffs. I’ve been involved in rescue work since I was very young, and caring for animals is just second nature to me. My 7-year-old special-needs pup, Blake, is my heart. He’s been with me since I rescued him as a tiny puppy off the streets of Puerto Rico. More recently, we welcomed Jet, a bouncy heeler mix who keeps us all on our toes with his endless energy! Seeing Blake and Jet as my fur babies means I understand firsthand the patience and attention it takes to care for dogs with very different needs. Anything from managing medical routines to channeling playful energy - I have it covered. I treat every pet like family, because that’s exactly what they are to me. I work full-time from home, so my schedule is very flexible. My dogs get a quick morning walk around Powderhorn, followed by regular potty breaks in the yard and a longer hour+ walk/hike after 3pm. I live in a townhouse community with an unfenced yard that is great for playing fetch and running. Otherwise, as most Jackson locals, I am often on the local trails, or the Snake River Levee, making sure animals in my care get plenty of exercise and socialization!

About: Owned dogs since I was a child, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Irish Red & White Setter and a Chihuahua. Experienced with golden doodles and labs. Currently getting my pilots Licence’s and enjoy reading books I’m currently time building for my commercial Licence whenever the weather is good around 5 hours a day when possible. Usually busy at night around 5-8ish otherwise free. I have a tall fenced in yard where I play with my dog or walk him around my neighborhood. Otherwise he sits with me while I study or read.

About: I've helped take care of my special needs dog for 15 years, including walking her, feeding her, giving her medication, and playing with her. I'm great with dogs of all ages and would love to help walk your furry friend! I currently work a 9-5 full-time job in social media and I'm able to walk (or run) your dog in the morning or evenings! I work from home on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays but depending on timing on Wednesdays and Thursdays I can help. I'm a big runner, so if your dog enjoys going on runs I'd love to run with them! I unfortunately am unable to dog sit and watch your dog in my own house, but I am able to take your dog for walks and/or runs when needed or do drop-in visits for dogs and/or cats.
