“Responsive, kind, courteous, and was great with my pup who had a bit of extra enthusiasm because of being cooped up inside with sickly me all morning. Took Calcifer through some snowy trails in our backyard with ease and aplomb, leaving me with a pup ready for cuddles while I slurp my soup. I couldn't be more grateful for the help!!!”

“My dog was in a great mood when I got home. The walker secured him on return even though I forgot to tell them to, which is good because otherwise he will find and eat the most poisonous thing in the house.”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was in my 20s. Over the years I have rescued a number of animals in need, both dogs and cats. I have also helped friends with their animals, including taking them to the vet and watching them when their owners were out of town. With my own dog, we have a routine that includes multiple walks per day, as well as at least one car ride. I believe in following a pet's routine. I am free in the summer and on the weekends and in the evenings. It all depends on what someone needs in a person caring for their pet. I believe in following what a pet owner needs for the comfort of their animal. Depending on the need of your animal, I can take care of walks, bringing them to the park, feeding them, and whatever else they need.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.

“Saige aka Ziggy was an absolute dog whisperer. Ziggy took great care of my dog, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker, stop searching. One report card wrote “An aggressive dog approached Boone, I stepped in front of Boone and the other dog ran off.” I mean talk about CARE & SAFETY. ⭐️ x 5”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats(only a couple) since I was a kid. My friends, family, and nanny families knew they had someone they could trust to take care of and love their fur baby like it was mine. I have lived with a dog my entire life-all rescues(Golden Retriever, Pitty Mixes, King Charles Spaniel, Rotty Mix, Lab Mixes, Great Dane…) Our current fur baby Midnight is a senior Lab Pitty mix. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors. I am comfortable giving medication, feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after, and transporting your dog. I have less experience with cats, but have house sat several cats-making sure to follow their feeding schedule and cleaning out their litter box. I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I worked with children 6 weeks to 5 years old for over 12 years. Which means I have lots of patience, love, and understanding. I have been lucky to be able to stay home with our daughter the last five years. But I am ready to make my way back into part-time work. I believes pets are our family and I will treat yours like mine. It would be a honor to help care for and love on them. I am currently a stay at home mom. My daughter is in preschool three days a week and starting kindergarten in the fall. So I have flexibility in my schedule. At the moment I am available Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 9am-12:30pm, and flexible Thursdays and weekends. I can do drop ins, hangout time, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles and pets. At the moment I am not able to board any dogs or cats. My sweet boy was attacked in his foster home and still learning to trust other dogs again. I am comfortable come to your house to care for your pets.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, birds and all breeds of animals since I was young. I love animals and the light they bright to our lives- who doesn't want their fur-baby cared for and safe while we’re away?!? With years on hands on experience in a veterinary office, I have become well versed in grooming (nail trims, bathes, brushing), behavior and medication administration. Each day I learn more and more about our furry friends and how to give back to them, so they can continue to give their love to us:) Check out my calendar on my profile to see when I’m available for visits! With a little heads-up, I’m often able to squeeze in extra visits outside of my usual days and times. While providing my services, I ensure I tailor my car to each pets specific needs. I like to ask lots of introduction questions to really get a good feel for your pets lifestyle and comfort level. I like to stick to their routines—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar and comfortable as it would normally. It's important to give plenty of attention, cuddles, and enrichment during each visit.

About: I have grown up with dogs & cats and began taking care of my family, friends and coworkers pets when I was in high school. I’ve worked with seniors, puppies, and larger dog breeds like Great Pyrenees, Great Dane, and Newfoundland’s but have a special place in my heart for dachshunds. I am home all week so pups can spend as much time outside as they want. For walks, early mornings and late nights are welcome. I am usually available during holidays as well.

“Absolutely amazing dog walker. She is flexible, considerate, and just an all around great person that our dog loves. She is a bargain for sure! I would expect her to charge more for how great she is! She will definitely be our go to dog walker.”

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

About: My love for dogs and exercise naturally led to the road of pet care giver. I’ve had vast experiences with various dog sizes and ages and loved them all. I have pet sit for neighbors and family friends since the age of 12 and that in fact has made me closer to them. My days have currently opened up and I have plenty of time to walk, pet sit, and play around with your dog. With me, your dog will be the number 1 priority. I have a fenced backyard with ample spaces for your pups to play. I also have 2 adorable small pups of my own that are always welcoming of new and old friends.

“Nikki did a great job with Rocco! Even though he was really nervous about having someone walk him, she was very nice and patient with him. She was on time and responded quickly. I felt great knowing someone responsible was coming to walk my dog!”
