Also a very respectful houseguest! Definitely recommend.”

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I’ve worked with all kinds of pups, from bouncy little puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m great with routines, giving meds if needed, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life—I genuinely enjoy it! Whether I’m starting my morning with a walk or winding down with a cuddle session, spending time with dogs brings me joy and keeps me grounded. I make sure to plan my days around their needs, whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, or just being a calming presence. I’m flexible, reliable, and fully committed to giving your pup the attention they deserve every single day. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or quiet time. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and whatever else they need to feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and it’s something that has always come naturally to me. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I love being that reliable person they can count on. Each pet has their own personality, and I really enjoy figuring out what makes them feel happy and comfortable — whether it’s a puppy who needs extra playtime or a senior dog who just wants calm companionship. Alongside my pet care experience, I’m CPR-certified for animals and also work as an EMT (for humans, though!), which has given me strong skills in responsibility, patience, and staying calm in any situation. I bring that same level of care and attentiveness to every pet I look after, making sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family while their people are away. I work part-time as an EMT and full days as a medical assistant on Mondays and Tuesdays (and some weekends), which leaves me with a flexible schedule the rest of the week. Spending time with pets is honestly a perfect balance to my medical work — it feels like a little getaway, and I’ve really missed being around animals. Caring for pets lets me combine something I love with helping out families who need reliable support. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar space, so I prefer to care for them in their home where they feel most comfortable. I follow each family’s routines closely — walks, meals, medication, and beyond to make sure pets feel safe and secure. With my healthcare background and pet CPR certification, I bring an extra level of attentiveness and responsibility. My goal is to make your pets feel loved and cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands!

“Liz was everything we could ask for and more in the way she housesit and cared for our special needs beagle. She took him on great walks, had no trouble administering his meds (11 pills twice a day plus some additional in his food), and was constantly updating us with photos, videos, and texts. She put us totally at ease being away from our pet, and that is rare given the demands of a special needs dog. She is at the top of our list and is the first person we’ll call anytime we go away again.”

About: Hi, I'm Natalia and I love animals. I have grown up with my own dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. Even birds too. Taking care of them is taking care of your family. So I will be sure your pet(s) have everything they need while in my care. And will be treated with the same love, kindness, and affection as I do with my dogs and cats. I will always check if the pavement outside is too hot for their paws on sunny days and if it's also too cold/salted on other days to avoid harm to their paws. I do not have experience with newborn puppies, but I am a quick learner if given a chance. I'm currently a freelancer, so my schedule is flexible daily. Any time of day throughout the seasons, I'm available to aid in caring for the pets in your lives. While I'm not accepting other people's pets within my home, I'm open to caring for your pets in their safe space. Just like us, they have a routine, which I would be happy to learn and follow.

About: I have raised two dogs from puppies to old age as well as cared for other small household pets, and watched dogs of all sizes overnight for friends and family. I also worked at a puppy only pet store for several months, which familiarized me with different breeds and their behavior. I am a student, so I do attend classes during the day, but my schedule otherwise is very flexible and I often have time between classes if a mid-day care is needed My top priority is the comfort and safety of your pet, whether at my home or yours. I will ensure they are well-fed and exercised while in my care

“Nicki is great! She stayed in communication with me and sent pictures! She asked thoughtful questions, and was flexible/adaptable with our particular needs. My kitty loves her, and she was very warm and professional. We would definitely book with her again in the future!”
