About: I have had cats in my life for as long as I can remember! I began to care for them at age 13! Cat care is in my heart!! I am a retiree who is an avid cat lover! I am mobile with my car, my bike and my feet!! The more cat love, the better! I have not had any client other than friends whose cats (and other pets) I have watched while they have gone away! I listen to the cat parent about needs, wants, what to watch for and then ease into the cat relationship to gain the trust of the animal 🐱
About: I have over five years of experience caring for, playing with, and supporting all sizes of dogs. This includes adopting a puppy of my own. I am currently a co-parent to a four-year-old Chihuahua Terrier that I trained. Additionally, I have experience caring for senior dogs, sick dogs who need to visit the vet, and dogs with specific behavioral issues. I am a business consultant and a life coach working from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. This flexibility makes it easy for me to take dogs on walks, hikes, and potty breaks. I enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and walking around the neighborhood. Having a dog by my side would add to the fun of these activities. I am very sensitive to people's homes and their dogs' routines. I follow instructions carefully and maintain a calm, centered space at home for the dog to feel confident and safe with me.

“Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!”
About: I've grown up owning dogs my whole life, and I own my own dog as well. I honestly think it's impossible to be sad when a dog is in your life, and it is our responsibility to take care of them as best as we can. I would love to spend time and take care of your dog in the event you cannot. They should't have to feel so alone when we are busy! My puppy is very social, kind, and loves to play with other dogs. She is spayed so there is no worry there. I promise to take the best care of your dog, as if it was my own. I am also a strong believer in training dogs and keeping them on their own routine. I am very respectful of the rules or standards that each owner has for their dog, and plan on carrying those out exactly as you ask. I have a very flexible schedule currently and can accommodate many different times. Feel free to reach out and we can find a common time that works for you, your pet and me! Safety and trust are the most important aspect of caring for other animals. They are not just our pets but members of our family and I always keep that in mind. I will send photos and always be transparent about how your dog is doing.
“Amiri did a great job with our pup over the holidays. He walked her with all of his check ins and sent regular photos and messages. He also made sure she didn't track in mud in the house when it was raining so much there winter days. Would happily book him again..”

lee d.
“Lee has taken care of our dogs twice this year (so far) and is our first contact whenever we travel. Our dogs love Lee as they get long walks on our nearby trails and lots of affection. We always ask if Lee can join us for dinner the night before we leave so he's with our dogs when we leave. We have had great conversations over dinner as Lee is a world traveler with many fascinating interests and work history. Lee has kept us informed on our trips away with photos and we have always returned to our home that is tidy and clean. We highly recommend Lee for any pet and/or house sitting.”

Mia A.
“Mia has a gift for working with animals. She started having pets at a young age with fish, mice, hamsters and birds, taking joy in interacting with them, feeding them, always being the first one to notice any health concerns. As she grew older she went to zoo camp, to SCPA camp, and she graduated to counselor sharing her love of animals with other children. Over the last few years she has regularly walked her many dogs, cleaned up after them, made sure they received needed vet care and nursed them back to health after surgery or illness. When younger, she would walk her two Chihuahua mixes, and helped care for them as they aged, became less mobile, and needed extra attention and medications. As a young adult, she raised one puppy Pit Bull from 6 weeks (now 5 years old), and adopted a mistreated Pit/Lab mix, who is now her best friend and companion. She is excellent at ensuring their routines are followed and spending quality time with them. She uses treats wisely, and has trained her dogs to follow her lead, sit and wait when commanded. She ensures regular vet care and gives medications, applies lotions and other vet-prescribed care with kindness. As she has started dog walking and care professionally, she has been a reliable, trusted caregiver. She has demonstrated her capacity with all types of dogs and her understanding that dogs not only need food, water and walking or play, but also interaction, reassurance, and love. I admire her ease with and love for animals, and am glad she can share her gift with other pet owners.”

Responsible and showed up right on time, kept us feeling like our furry ones were so well looked after. Highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
