About: One thing that drives me everyday, is my love for animals. I have 2 dogs, a golden doodle and yellow lab and one tabby cat at home that I love with my whole heart. I am currently in undergraduate school as an environmental science major but plan on pursuing a doctorate of veterinary science in the near future. Every single day. I wake up around 8:30 to feed my dogs every morning and take them for at least a walk everyday so they’re fit and in shape. I am very attentive and have a good basis of animal first aid if anything were ever to go haywire. I am willing to talk to the pet owners to meet their specific needs for their furry friends as if they were my own.
6. Ana-Maria H.
“Ana has walked my Lab and Great Dane (who are both a handful) and they absolutely love her!! She is so good with them and she’s even dog sat for us often! It’s nice not having to worry about who’s with your babies, especially when they are in her care! I’d recommend her to watch, walk or take care of anyone’s pets!”
7. Han T.

12. Lorin G.
“Lorin did a great job with my 100 lb Doberman! My dog pulls at times and reacts to cats and squirrels. She did a great job handling these situations! I will definitely book her again!”
13. Surian S.
“Surian walked and pet sat my dog, Billy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Surian is a true dog lover and professional. During the walks, she was punctual and always ensured that Billy got plenty of exercise. I received regular updates and photos. The pet sitting experience was also great. Billy got along wonderfully with Surian’s dog, Sarabi. Surian provided a safe, fun, and loving environment, making sure both dogs were happy and comfortable.”
14. Karen J.

15. Erika L.
About: You've waited until the last minute to find care.. cut out the middle man and call me first, ok? I'm especially sensitive to tiny, little dogs, senior dogs who need their medications. I'm loving and kind and will love your baby like my own. **Bring their bed and travel crate if we're doing overnights. The babies deserve to be comfortable. I'm working very part time and have a flexible schedule to host your baby overnight. Wait until they taste my homemade organic dog biscuits,! YUM! I can crate your baby if necessary and safely guard them from harm as we go on dog field trips. Plenty of green space to play. No fence
16. Seth R.
About: My family has always had several dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared closely for injured and sick pets for months at a time. I work 3 nights a week as a nurse, but my spouse works from home, so there will always be someone home with your loved one! We both love spending time with and caring for our neighbors furry friends. We also love traveling, so don't yet have our own. Hablamos español! I work as a nurse 3 nights a week and my spouse works from home. We like to go for walks, hike, and picnics, and would love some 4-legged company for any and all of it! We're new to the area, so we are excited to explore with your beloved pet. I live with my spouse in a large apartment right down the street from the Mosaic District. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with lots of open grass and parks. Within walking distance, there are several paths and trails and several more parks. For boarding, I'll use their home crate or bedding, but if they're allowed on your furniture, they're allowed on ours. Our apartment is air-conditioned with wood floors, carpet, and lots of bright windows.
17. Jennifer V.

“She’s very caring and thought when it comes to your pet, goes above and beyond. Great for any job! Always available when you need someone”
