About: Background: For the past six years I have dedicated my time to working with animals. When I was in middle school, my family adopted our first two dogs. Soon after, I started housesitting and walking family and friends' pets, igniting my passion. After seeing how rewarding working with animals was, I devoted my professional career towards working in an animal-related field. Relevant Experience: Since highschool, I have worked at two different dog daycares as an animal handler and dog trainer. I have also worked in animal shelters as a volunteer and employee. These experiences have given me the opportunities to work with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I have experience medicating animals orally and through injections. As a dog handler, I became comfortable working with groups of dogs and recognizing body language in play. As a trainer, I implemented a positive-reward based training plan to work on basic manners as well as certain behavior adjustments. Lastly, working at animal shelters gave me knowledge of animal vaccines and medications as well as comfortably handling dogs and cats of any temperament. What I can offer: I offer dog walks, drop-in visits and pet visiting at the owner's residence. I am able to provide an active and loving environment for your animals while you are away, this can include any amount of exercise needed for your pet! While I am caring for your animal, I will be available to reach 24/7 in case of emergencies. I am also happy to answer any training and behavior questions you may have about your pets. I also have the covid vaccination and am willing to go above and beyond to make sure we are staying safe. I look forward to meeting and spending time with all your wonderful pets!

“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”
“Sofia was the best! My cats loved having her drop by while we were out of town and she made sure to send lots of pics and provide any extra details. Definitely will book her again!”
“Liliia took great care of my cat. She was very responsive and sent me daily updates. She also picked her up and dropped her off at my home which made my life infinitely easier! Would highly recommend!”
“Karolly was a lifesaver!! She took amazing care of our cat during the holidays and alerted us of an issue that had occurred at our home while we were away - she saved our home from major damage! Beyond that, from her first visit, our cat immediately took to her. She took great care of him and sent us pictures and video from her visit, he looked like he was having a great time! She fed him treats, gave him plenty of belly rubs, and played with his toys with him. We look forward for having her care for our pets again in the future!”
“Samantha was great with the cats. They let her pet them the first time she met them. She was very understanding of the complex situation I was in to have someone watch my daughter's cats.”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.
“We were away for a little over 2 weeks and Marissa helped check in with our cat. Not only did she play and help with our cat, she helped us bring in our mail. She’s amazing and will always love for her to help in the future!”
“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Megan was so communicative and lovely with our 2 cats! She handled medication no problem, and even stayed longer the first visit to ensure that the cat who needed medication would be comfortable enough with her to take his meds no problem. We're so grateful for the good care Megan took and will absolutely rebook with her in the future.”

About: Growing up in a cat household, I always looked forward to visiting my Grandparents so I could take their dogs on walks! I have previous experience ranging from high energy puppies to more medically advanced senior dogs. The more the merrier, I have familiarity in watching up to 3 polite pooches! I can visit and entertain doggies within their home environments and also take them out on walks suitable for their energy levels and exercise needs!

We can be in contact regarding your animals specific needs and how my schedule can fit their needs. My timing can be quite flexible! I am always quite respectful of the spaces I enter for the owners as well as for the animals. I am confident in crating animals as well as providing discipline when necessary, and have experience administering medication as directed. I am always cautious entering a home to ensure doors are not left open and will always lock doors behind me. Anything used while caring for your animal will be put back where I find it. I will always take the time to get to know each animal I am working with to ensure happy and safe interactions for all of us!

We were happy to have Karolly visit our senior kitty Camilla. She took her time during her visit and made sure to make a great connection with Camilla each time. She was communicative and professional, and we felt confident in her services. We would definitely recommend Karolly!
We are so lucky to have found Amanda. I can’t say enough good things. When we had an unexpected issue occur with her getting access to our building to watch our cat, she totally rose to the occasion. Amanda remained calm, positive, and solution oriented. She is always reliable and above all is the sweetest, most attentive pet sitter you’d want for your fur baby. If you’re able to work with Amanda, consider yourself lucky!
Always dependable and reliable, Alma is the best. She was more than willing to help us adjust our booking after a family emergency came up midway through our trip. Beyond that, we’d always get timely updates with a ton of photos of our cats. If I could give a sixth star, I would.
I'm so glad I found Megan! She was the perfect sitter for Gordon and Diane. Her daily updates were thorough, the pictures were adorable, and she left my place immaculate. While I don't want to leave them again anytime soon, I would have Megan back in a heartbeat to watch my kitties.
This our second time having Paola care for our furbabies while we were out of town and she was just as amazing as the last time. Words cannot express how much we appreciate her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. She even found a new game to play with our one kitty who doesn’t like to play very much! Paola truly takes all of our stress and worry away when we have to leave our babies. With Paola, we know they are in great hands!
