About: I grew up with dogs in my home, and when I became a teacher over 10 years ago, I began dog walking and pet sitting for others, too, over my summer break. I have cared for dogs with a variety of needs, including high energy puppies, animals with anxiety, and elderly animals with mobility issues. As a teacher with summers off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend as much time with your pets as is needed. We will have plenty of time for long walks, play sessions, and belly scratches. I will ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved in your home, even when you’re away. I will stick to whatever routine you’ve already established, treating your pet and your home with just as much care as you do.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I've taken care of dogs since I was 8, and I used to work at a doggy daycare. I work part time while focusing on my music career which gives me plenty of time to take care of my 8 year old pomeranian and hopefully your dog as well. I'm very attentive to details/instructions, take daily walks and grooming (as needed). I strive to create a safe and fun atmosphere for everyone involved in my care.
“Nathalia is a gift that keeps on giving. She cared for my 75+ lbs mixed breed during my weeks long work emergency and saved the day by providing first class professional and personal care for my dog when I couldn’t make it home in time to walk him. She turns the adage: “if you want something done right you have to do it yourself” on its head. If you want pet care for your fur baby done right you get Nathalia. She helped me during my emergency when no one would. And she provided phenomenal care. My dog lives her!! I swear you’d think they’ve known each other for years but she just met my dog four days ago and they’ve bonded on the first day. And that is a huge relief not having to worry about someone actually caring for and about my dog. My kid. Nathalia isn’t just a dog walker, she’s a caregiver, she genuinely cares about my dog. She cares about every animal. She’s wonderful. She came through for me at the last minute and she has been kind, patient, professional and even loving. Like…literally loving my dog. Nathalia is the Platinum Standard when it comes to “Who Can I Trust to Take Care of My Baby?”. Thank you very, very, very much Nathalia, for taking great care of my dog. Definitely will be repeat clients.”
About: "I’m basically the fun dog aunt every pup dreams of! I grew up with dogs and now spend tons of time with my brother’s pups, so I’m no stranger to wagging tails, slobbery kisses, and endless games of fetch. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and totally spoiled." I work at a school, so I’m off for the summer and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles with your pup! My schedule is super flexible right now, which means I can be there when you and your furry friend need me most. When I care for pets in your home, I make sure they stick to their usual routine so they feel safe and happy. That means feeding them on schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I also respect your space and keep things tidy, so you come home to a happy pet and a home just the way you left it. I’ll send photo updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.
“Andrea did a great job with my 2 dogs. They really liked her and she was very patient with them. It was easy to communicate with her and she gave us so many pics of the daily walks. Being able to have trust on the person that’s handling your fur babies is so rare so I’m glad we met Andrea.”
About: I’ve dealt with animals all my life. I have a dog, a cat and a crested gecko. All my animals get along with other pets. I’ve looked after family members pets before. I’m currently home for the summer and I’m fully flexible. I also own a car so can easily move around. I am willing to work around your schedule. I have a fenced yard, someone is home at all times, they’re rarely left alone and are often checked on. Pets are usually in the same room with me during the day and night.
About: Zoology background, rainforest fieldwork, and long-term experience with 8+ dog breeds and multiple other species. My care blends science, heart, and hands-on skill across species, ages, and personalities. I own a German Shepard and an Olde English Bulldog. We are a very active household. We go on multiple long walks a day. We also do a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming. I also actively take care of their hygiene daily. My German Shepard gets brushed and wiped everyday and my Olde English gets wiped every day along with the care for her wrinkles. They both get a bath at least once a week and paws are cleaned upon every entry to the house. I make sure all animals in my care are always safely taken care of in my company. No pet shall be off a leash, even in fenced in areas where we may not know other pets. I make sure I never put pets in any situations that can scare or harm them. I stick to required dietary restrictions. I also follow all rules and regulations put in place by pet owners. I always make sure pets receive the absolute best care they can.
About: I have years of experience providing loving care to a variety of pets, from playful puppies to wise seniors. My special skills include puppy training and compassionate senior pet care. I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I currently transitioned over to online learning at my college, so my availability is much more extensive. I’m home 24/7, which gives me the opportunity to look after as much friends as possible, with the upmost care. In my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, complete with dedicated play areas and cozy spaces. I maintain a routine that includes regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, ensuring that pets feel right at home. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize consistency by following their established routines and guidelines. This includes feeding schedules, exercise regimens, and any specific care instructions. I’m also vigilant about the pet’s safety and well-being in their familiar surroundings.
About: Growing up always with an animal by my side, caring for them is second nature. Throughout my life I’ve always had cats and dogs. I promise with my care, I will provide love, positive reinforcement, cater to your pets needs, and lots of rubs. I currently am a freelance photographer editor and an afternoon nanny to 3 boys. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I should be available to cater the time you want. Please note, I do have a cat so your pet will have to be okay being around cats. Prior to adopting him, he was in a house with kids and a dog so he doesn’t mind them. Although I live in an apartment building, a 5 minute walk and you’ll be at the dog park. If your dog is not as friendly or not in your preference, there are tons of different routes I can talk your pet on. I want my home to feel like your pets home so they are allowed on the couch, bed, or wherever they please.
About: I’ve always been the go-to dog sitter for family and friends — and now I’m bringing that same love and energy to your pup! From energetic walks through the neighborhood to cozy overnight stays, I treat every dog like my own. Yes, I work a 9–5 — but that doesn’t stop me from showing up for your pup! I make time for early morning walks, evening strolls, and weekend sitting. I also offer drop-ins and overnight stays when planned ahead. Dogs are a big part of my routine, and I’m committed to fitting them in with care and consistency. Tail-wagging walks: Long, fun, and safe walks tailored to your pup's energy level. Cuddly sitting sessions: At your home or mine — your dog’s comfort always comes first. Daily updates: I’ll send photos and notes so you know your pet is happy and thriving. Flexible scheduling: Last-minute plans? I’ll do my best to accommodate.
About: I've been caring for animals for a long time. The first dog I ever got was a miniature Toy Aussie when I was 10; her name is Luna, and she's like my kid. I adore her, and as a super hyper dog, she needs long walks daily. Apart from caring for Luna, I also look after my friends' pets. One friend has a dog and two cats; when they go on vacation, I stay to watch them. Currently in school, I'm available after 4 on weekdays, but I'm usually free any time during the weekend for walks or drop-ins. My schedule could also change with their being school breaks. Walking your dog daily after school and having early weekend walks is a routine I've established for her. I've noticed that these walks have significantly helped reduce her anxiety, and she has become friendlier towards others as a result.

Katherine Z.
“Kate has been our first choice when we needed a dog sitter for over 10 years. We have used her service on several occasions, most often when we vacation during the summer months and had to leave our dogs alone for extended periods of time. During the times we were absent from home, she stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, sent us many photos and videos of our dogs, and texted us regularly with updates. She has always eliminated the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind for long periods of time. Most importantly, Kate is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request.”
Camryn M.
“Camryn is a caring soul. When she’s passionate about something, she’ll devote herself entirely to the task at hand. Cam also loves dogs, and when she’s on campus, her thoughts always return to her dog Fern. Fern is in very good health, and is an incredibly affectionate critter, a personality no doubt nurtured by Cam’s attentive and loving embrace. She also regularly bathes and grooms Fern, but her care is not smothering, as she is more than content with Fern resting wherever she pleases. Fern is also a very sociable dog, and gets along well with strangers, whether they be bipedal or quadrupedal. If you were to combine Camryn’s passion for our canine companions with career opportunities, you’d have a dog-sitting force to be reckoned with.”

“I cannot thank Alicia enough for the exceptional care she provided for my two young cats, Jax and Bobby. Both are under a year old and full of energy, so it’s no small task to keep them happy and entertained — but Alicia went above and beyond. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely loving with them. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the moment I returned that Jax and Bobby were not only well cared for but also truly comfortable and content in her presence. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Alicia is the one. I highly recommend her to anyone needing trustworthy, compassionate pet care.”

Charlotte B.
“Charlotte has a natural way with animals. I've noticed that even shy or nervous dogs tend to relax around her pretty quickly. She has a calm presence and really pays attention to each pet’s needs, which makes her great at what she does. She doesn’t just walk dogs—she connects with them. Whether it’s remembering their favorite toy or sensing when they need a little extra care, Charlotte is thoughtful, dependable, and kind. I’ve trusted her with my own pets and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. If you’re looking for someone caring and reliable, Charlotte’s a solid choice.”

Izabella was great! My Penny does not always warm up to people easily but immediately liked Izabella. She was patient and gave off positive and calm vibes - which is exactly what Penny needed. Izabella sent detailed feedback and pictures during and after the walk. Really looking forward to booking her again soon!
Andrea did a great job with my 2 dogs. They really liked her and she was very patient with them. It was easy to communicate with her and she gave us so many pics of the daily walks. Being able to have trust on the person that’s handling your fur babies is so rare so I’m glad we met Andrea.
Valery was so great with my puppy Tonka! She followed all detailed instructions left for her and she was very sweet and great at communicating. I got a lot of updated photo of her and the pup having a great time which made me a very happy dog mom! I would recommend Valery to care for your little best friends and I will definitely be booking her again soon! She helped make this process seamless and trustworthy. Thanks again Valery for the level of care you brought to my home and pup ! We are excited to welcome you back soon.
Al has been my dog Shaggy’s walker for over a year, and to say he made an impact is an understatement. Even after moving away, Al was able to walk Shaggy again today—and the moment they saw each other, it was like no time had passed. Shaggy was beyond excited and came back happy, tail wagging, and totally exhausted from a great walk. Al is an incredible dog walker and caretaker—he’s dependable, flexible, and truly connects with the pets he cares for. It’s clear that he doesn’t just walk dogs, he builds lasting bonds with them. Al is someone your pet will never forget, and neither will you.
Jadis took excellent care of our senior dog, Rocky, and was so easy to work with. She was very understanding of the few limitations he has and kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout his walks. Will definitely be reaching out again to book with her soon!
