About: My roommate currently has a cat that I help take care of and I've been a dog lover lover all my life (my sadly allergic family can attest) and will help dog sit for friends occasionally. Any photos I take during a walk do have a chance of being added to my profile, if this makes you uncomfortable please let me know! I work full time remotely at a desk job so I love taking long walks throughout the day! Am super flexible with time and scheduling so long as I don’t have a meeting during the specific time frame. I don’t plan on offering boarding services at the moment but I’d happily change or refill any water/food at my clients place if needed :)
“Amanda did an excellent job looking after my cat for a week! She was very communicative and provided thorough updates and pictures. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I am an avid dog lover who has experience taking care of multiple breeds of dogs. From the laziest of pups to those with the most extreme of zoomies, from puppy to elder dogs, I have made sure each dog not only gets their food and exercise but lots of love and attention as well. I just graduated from my masters and am very flexible. I get up early to walk the dogs and typically give them another long walk during the day, with shorter walks every 2-3 hours. We also have a dog park in our building. In addition to the dog park in our building, we have a larger apartment to make sure the pups are all recieving care. I am also willing to discuss individual needs for each owner (i.e. in calls, out calls, simple walks, etc.)
About: Hello! I have significant experience in caring for both dogs and cats, regularly helping friends and family with pet sitting. I run a small dog-focused business, so I understand the importance of keeping pets happy and healthy. You can rely on me to keep your pet safe, entertained, and well-stimulated while you're away. I'll also provide regular updates for your peace of mind. As I work from home, I have ample time to care for pets. My routine allows for regular walks and playtime, ensuring your dog gets the attention and care they need. I ensure pets have a safe and fun environment with activities like chew toys, puzzles, and games. Or, whatever your pet prefers activity wise :)

About: Hi! My name is Camille, and I have owned dogs for most of my life. I am well used to caring for them from puppy to senior, and am familiar with many sizes and breeds. My first priority is the needs of your dog, and I will put them first- for example, if they are more high energy, I’m happy to take them out for longer on a new route to make sure they have a good time. I have handled many sizes, temperaments, and breeds of dogs, and can deal with a number of different individualities such as pulling, high prey drive, or dog aggression. I love dogs, and I would love the opportunity to meet yours! I work from home three days a week with flexibility on choosing when that is. I have a large living room with a dog park right outside my window. I have no other pets with a large open living room and kitchen. The safety of your pet comes first and I always carefully supervise the pets under my watch. I have a dog park right outside my window which is often empty throughout the day in case your dog doesn’t like other animals and a number of beautiful populated dog parks and parks within 10 minutes walk. I love to care for pets and will be flexible to their needs.
“Dianna did a great job!”
“Manny was a wonderful sitter for our two cats Callisto and Elara. He stopped in while we were away to take care of them and was always on time, a great communicator, and thorough - all in all he put our minds at ease and let us know our animals were in great hands. My cats can be very shy but, by the second day they were already warming up to Manny as evidenced by the cute pictures we got each day. I would 1000% book with him again and recommend him.”
About: Hi! I grew up with the sweetest Maltese who made me fall in love with caring for dogs. I’ll treat your pup like family—always with love, patience, and attention to their needs. I genuinely enjoy long walks and spending quality time with dogs, so your pet will get plenty of exercise and affection. I’m reliable, responsive, and here to make your life easier while keeping your dog happy and safe! Note: Potty bags will be provided! I work from home remotely, so I have a lot of flexibility Sunday-Friday. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I will cater to your availability. I leave my house very clean at all times to make sure that there are no hazardous items lying around. If I’m entering a client’s home, I will be respectful and not touch anything that I am not supposed to.

“I would trust Jay with my dogs' lives, and my own! After knowing him for almost 5 years now, he has become one of the only people I trust to take care of my three small dogs when I am away on vacation. Jay is very attentive, gentle, and he has a huge heart — I can tell he genuinely cares about keeping my babies happy and healthy. I love being able to actually relax and enjoy my vacations knowing that my dogs are in safe hands!”
