About: I enjoy spending time with dogs. I can give a lot of love and affection to any type of dog! I have lived with multiple dogs before. I am currently work a Panama schedule so every other week I will have different off days. Please reach out for time frames. I am more than happy to find a way to help! I have a back yard and multiple areas to walk your dog. I have a dedicated dog room where a crate can fit with additional space for the dog.

About: Growing up with both cats and dogs, I’ve been around animals for most of my life. While I may not have formal pet care experience, I understand the responsibility and attention they require to feel comfortable and secure. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing the same level of care and respect that I would expect for my own pets. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog engaged or ensuring a senior pet is comfortable, I strive to create a safe and positive experience while you’re away. With a busy work schedule, I dedicate one to two days a week to pet sitting, ensuring I can provide attentive and reliable care. By limiting my availability, I’m able to focus fully on each pet, giving them the time and attention they deserve. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable experience while keeping pet owners updated and informed. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet care experience. Whether providing care in my home or during walks, I ensure pets are in a secure, stress-free setting. I follow any specific instructions from owners, maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. My goal is to create a positive and safe experience, giving owners peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

About: Dogs are truly my one passion. I'd love to help you and yours however I can! Growing up I've always had a variety of animals, but right now I have two dogs. Jojo (11yrs) and Libby (4yrs). They are everything to me and it gives me great pleasure to provide for them, ensuring their happiness and well being. I have experience with dogs of all ages, and pets of all kinds! I am a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider (CPACP) through PACCC. You can view my badge at - bcert.me/sizlosuuu ! Giving the highest quality care to your pups is my top priority. I have 8+ years experience in pet care, including 6 years Doggy Daycare Management and Puppy Room experience with puppies under 6 months. For a few years I was assisting in positive reinforcement dog training classes as well. I learned tips and tricks on how to gain attention with your dogs, leash walking skills, and much much more. I'm used to off leash group play (15+ dogs at a time), so dog walking and sitting full time is a bit new for me. But I am so excited to explore this new opportunity with you! I will use the skills I've acquired to ensure your dog is HAPPY and SAFE! I will love your pup just like my own. Looking forward to making memories and I can't wait to meet you all! Full time dog walking/drop ins + "almost" overnight sitting. Making early morning and late night trips to accommodate your pup. My own two dogs just need a regular check in half way through day. Communication is key. I would love to know all of your fur baby's habits and quirks so that I can adjust my routine or plan for the day. I like to do meet and greets before hand so that I can ensure all parties are comfortable and happy! Send me a message to chat with me and let me know what your needs are. I love to take pictures of our adventures together and share them with you as well!

“Nastia was lovely with our dog Nilus. She sent updates and pics every day. She was flexible about drop off and pick up time and that was very comfortable because we were on vacations. Nilus had a great time, she played, had fun and good rest time on Nastia's couch ;)”

17. Seamus M.
“Seamus has been an animal lover always. His cats Reggie and Livy were glued to his side. Even as a younger boy you could count on him to take care of the responsibilities that came along with having animals. What we all want is not to worry about our fur babies when we are at work. That is definitely something he respects. His calm assertive energy helps immensely with dogs. I have noticed dogs are much more well behaved in his presence.”


18. Tara S.
“Tara is exceptional with pets of any kind! She is always going above and beyond keeping your pet happy, safe and loved. She is very well versed in dog body language and can easily manage large groups of dogs as well. Tara always blows my expectations out of the water. I am not sure who loves who more, dogs loving her or how much she loves dogs (or any pet). I never have to worry when my pets are with her. I would recommend her to anyone!”
