“Roman was very diligent and caring in walking and feeding my pup, who responded with affection and happiness. Additionally, Roman is a very nice person and I enjoyed talking with him.”

“Sarah was fantastic!! Very flexible and communicative. She was great with our quirky Aussie mix, and sent so many great photos. We will definitely be using her for future walks!!”

About: I've had rabbits for the last decade, so I am thoroughly experienced in small animal care. I have supported friends and family by dog-sitting for about the same amount of time. It the 4 years, I've been able to provide housemates and friends with dedicated care for their feline friends. My overall experience includes, walks, feeding, changing litter, overnight sitting, and playtime. I also feel comfortable caring for more than one animal at a time. I care for my own rabbit daily giving food, water, exercise, and enrichment time. I want to provide the same care to your pet. I have my weekends reserved for pet care of others' animals and find time for the weekly tasks that support my own rabbit during the week. I always review instructions that are left regarding the needs of pets. I appreciate clear communication and I will go above an beyond to make sure your pet has whatever they need. I would hope to be able to spend more of the day and/or drop in multiple times throughout the day to check on them. I hope that I can put you at ease as you are away from your pet.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, starting with my family’s cat Bella and our goldendoodle Triscuit (who, yes, was just as lovable as her snack-sized name suggests). Growing up with both a cat and a dog taught me how to adapt to different pet personalities, whether that means entertaining an energetic pup or respecting a cat’s need for their royal personal space. Since then, I’ve cared for all kinds of cats and dogs. Making them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's playing around the house, going for nature walks, or simply existing in each other's company, I make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away For me, pet sitting isn’t just about responsibility, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Taking care of pets while traveling makes the experience even better, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your home and furry friends with care, respect, and maybe a little extra belly-rubbing, I’d love to help! My routine is usually quite flexible so I adapt to the needs of the pets I am with. Usually that means a walk and or play time in the morning, afternoon, and evening. At home, I keep things clean, organized, and well cared for. I bring that same level of care when staying in someone else’s home, making sure everything stays tidy, plants stay happy, and your space looks just as good, if not better, than when you left. Basically, you’ll come home to a well-kept house and a happy pet.
“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”

About: Hi there! I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old. I grew up with a pug and a black lab, and my love for animals only grew from there. I began caring for other people’s dogs at 15, and adopted my own pup when I was 18-she’s now a happy and healthy 9-year-old! Over the years, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and gained experience with a wide range of breeds from Bernie doodles to Chihuahuas - and all kinds of personalities. Whether your dog is high-energy or a couch potato, skittish or reactive, or has special medical needs. I’m confident in providing them with the care and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical student at the university of Washington and in my clinical rotations. My weekends are flexible, as I typically use that time to study - so I’m available to give your pet the love and care they need while you’re away. Feel free to message me if you think I’d be a good fit for your pet. I like to emulate the schedule you maintain with your pets as much as possible so they feel happy and comfortable with me. Giving them lots of enrichment activities is near and dear to my heart since my own dog is constantly needing a distraction.
“Excellent walk from Julia and great feedback! Our pup is just over a year and still learning his manners. She knew how to handle him and gave him a walk that was full of mental and physical activity. Would not hesitate to hire Julia again!”


“There is no one I would rather trust with my dog. I’ve been using Aly for quite a bit now and she is a real dog lover. She takes great care of my dog. She also communicates frequently so I never have to wonder…. Aly is the best.”

About: I have always lived with pets in my home. Pitbulls, labs, shi tzus, lizards, cats, turtles, even a 5 foot iguana, and more. They were always treated like family and loved as such. My love for pets extends to all animals in general, hoping they recieve the special care and attention each pet deserves. I am incredibly flexible for both short term and long term needs. Going on a trip and need a pet sitter? I am available over night! Stepping out for work and need a walker or day sitter? I am there! Whatever your needs, I am happy and open to work with your timeline. I am reliable to head towards wherever needed with even same day notice. I am happy to help and eager to meet your beloved pet! I am very adaptable and considerate towards your space!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I currently have two dogs, one of which is a rescue dog who was once very scared and shy. I also have experience with cats as well. I have had cats since I was very young and enjoy snuggling and playing with them. I am available during the week and on weekends. I can be flexible and work with you to find times that fit with both of our schedules! Under my care, pets will be well fed, taken for walks, and played with often. I will tailor a routine for each pet depending on its needs.
“We hired Eliana to walk our pups on weekdays while I was away on a 2 week work trip. I usually work from home and my partner works long days. Eliana was reliable and even flexible in moving the appointments around when my partner’s work schedule changed. It felt so nice to know that the pups had something to look forward to each day while home alone for so long. We will be adding walks with Eliana on a regular basis as a treat for the pups when I need to work at the office.”

“Sydney met Finley today for the first time and she was really great with him! My request to walk Finley was so last minute, but she responded right away and accepted my request. I will see her again tomorrow morning and Finley and I are looking forward to her kind and sweet demeanor. Thank you, Sydney!”

“Aleksandr is wonderful. He stepped in to help on incredibly short notice and by day two, my puppy ran to him when he showed up to take her for a walk.”
About: My name is Karlie, I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and in my adult years have also grown to love cats! I’m experienced in taking care of all kinds of dogs, but Ella (my cat) and I prefer small and medium ones who get along well with cats. My husband, Toni, and I are able to walk your dogs, we love next to a huge park where they can run and play each day! I work as a therapist and have a flexible schedule where I can take a dog out every 3-4 hours. I also have weekends where I can watch dogs and take them with me to hang out with friends and be outside on hikes! I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment right across the street from Volunteer Park. I am also very comfortable to offer care in a client’s home and am safe, clean and reliable.
About: Hello! My name is Cave and I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes, but have a soft spot for senior dogs! I have over 3 years of experience caring for senior dogs with limited mobility and health issues. I enjoy learning how to be a better friend and caretaker to our furry friends by trying to give them as much autonomy as possible and prioritizing their needs and ways of communication. Use my promo code CAVET94308 for a discount when booking with me! Labor day weekend availability: Sunday August 31st after 7pm, Monday September 1st before 11am and after 1:30pm. I am between jobs right now so my schedule is quite flexible. For walks during the Summer, my schedule is most open from 10am-3pm and 6pm-9pm. I have more flexibility with drop-in appointments during the summer but typically prefer 10am-8pm :•) The safety and comfort of an animal is my top priority. I am a very thorough pet parent myself and will always make sure to review any specific needs your pet has in order to provide them with a fun and comfortable time.
“Caroline was great! She fast to respond and was able to handle a last minute dog walk with a new client. She also shared some great pics from their walk! Will definitely book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Jeremy! I'm a lifelong dog lover and experienced caregiver who’s been surrounded by dogs since childhood. I’ve helped raise puppies, cared for seniors, and shared my home with multiple dogs at once, so I understand that every pup has their own rhythm, quirks, and language. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a task but a relationship, and a spiritual one at that. I see dogs as soulful, feeling beings who deserve respect, empathy, and genuine attention. Whether it’s a mindful walk, a playful training session, or a calm cuddle on the couch, I approach every dog with care, patience, and heart. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments and have experience with leash training, basic obedience, and teaching fun tricks (if your dog is with me for an ample amount of time don't be surprised if they come home having learned something new!). My goal is always to make each visit a positive, enriching experience where your dog feels seen, safe, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands and serves your dog (not just “watches” them or doing a chore) I’d love to meet your furry family member. 🐶💛 I'm currently doing flexible freelance work so I'm available to work around your needs! Just get in touch and we can make something work I'm sure :) I live in a one bedroom apartment with a fenced courtyard outside my door, a side lot for quick potty breaks a few steps away, a grassy lakeside park with lakefront paths across the street and a dogpark a 10 min walk away. Even though I don't have my own yard there are plenty of options for me to keep your pet active and outside in nature. I'm also a highly responsible and dependable person with decades of stable education and employment that friends and family know they can count on, rely on, and to make the best decisions whatever issue may come up.
