About: We’ve both grown up with pets and the family, and once we moved to the city, we both started pet sitting and walking for our neighbors. We have experience with senior pets, administering medication, and special need pets. Your baby is safe with us! Ian is in his last year of college with a very flexible schedule, and Clementina works remote full-time. Whether it’s both of us or just one, we can assure you your baby will be accompanied at all times! Whatever you need from us for your pets, you got it! If you need us to crate your dog, leave and pick up keys with a doorman, turn heaters on/off, etc. for your fur baby, nothing is too big of an ask. We’ll always share lots of pics too for you to feel comfortable!

About: I take pride in being attentive, trustworthy, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality and needs. I can also provide regular photo/video updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’ve structured my schedule to prioritize the animals I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s stopping by for a midday potty break, a long afternoon walk, or an overnight stay, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I offer a clean, pet-friendly, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. One of the benefits I offer is regular access to nearby dog parks! If your pup enjoys socializing, running freely, or just sniffing around new environments, I’m happy to include park visits (with your permission, of course) as part of their routine. Safety is my top priority—I only take dogs to parks that are secure, well-maintained, and appropriate for their temperament and size. I closely supervise all playtime to ensure everyone stays happy and safe.

11/10 experience with David. He was always on time for walks. He was very attentive to my dog’s needs, asking questions that I didn’t even think of but was important to know. I also received a ton of pictures of the walk which I really appreciated. David is really friendly and easy going, so I would definitely will be booking again with him in the future.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with a sweet Havanese named Chase, who unfortunately passed away from Lyme disease that affected his kidneys. During his final years, I helped provide extensive medical care and support as he experienced frequent seizures, which taught me a lot about patience, compassion, and attentive pet care. My current dog, Leo, is a lovable rescue we adopted from a shelter during COVID. I helped fully potty train him and have enjoyed watching him grow into a happy, playful companion. He lives with my mom most of the time, but he comes to stay with me on many weekends—and I absolutely love our time together. Caring for dogs like Chase and Leo has given me hands-on experience with both young, energetic pups and pets that need extra care and attention. I am currently working part-time as a registered nurse, therefore I will have a lot of flexibility during the weekdays and weekends if needed. . When caring for pets, my top priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I always try to follow their normal routines as closely as possible — including feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions from their owner. In my client’s home, I make sure to keep things clean and organized, give plenty of attention and affection, and send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If I’m watching a pet in my home, they’ll have a cozy, calm space to relax, daily walks, and lots of playtime and cuddles. Every pet is different, so I take time to get to know their personality and needs — whether that means extra snuggles, slow introductions, or some extra time outside to burn off energy!

About: Ever since I was a kid I was the person in the neighborhood that others would have watching their pets. From watching two dachshunds in middle school for my neighbor to now taking care of my very own pets I’ve spent years watching, training, and caring for both dogs and cats. Every year I watch the dog show on Thanksgiving with my mom and as I’ve gotten older I can name most dog breeds without hearing what the announcers are saying. I think this helps with my ability to care for dogs as certain breeds are known for certain characteristics and have special requirements to take care of them. But at the end of the day I truly just love animals and am looking forward to caring for your pets. I currently work a hybrid schedule and so I have lots of time to take care of others pets. With my wfh days I have plenty of time to take pets for walks or spend time working from my laptop while caring for your fur babies. One thing that I find to be most important when caring for pets in someone’s home is making sure you keep an eye on them as much as possible. This is mostly the case for dogs and especially for puppies but it’s good to be aware of where all animals are in homes to make sure they aren’t getting into anything they are not supposed to.

About: I have a dog of my own named Luffy, and because of that I understand that at certain times you may not have the time to be with your pet. It hurts for me when I see my dog alone so I wanna do the best I can for all the other dogs to not feel the same way. I am a college student with classes Monday through Friday. I am typically free after 5PM on Monday and Friday. For Tuesday and Thursday I’ll be free past 2PM, and on Saturday and Sundays I’ll be free past 12PM. I am able to keep your pet company (playing with them, grooming them, etc.), ensure that they are hydrated and in no need of using the bathroom (I’ll take them out), and that they are actively well.
