I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Nicholas was terrific! Prompt, friendly and reliable. I had Nicholas walk my dog every morning for a week just after I had back surgery. My dog took to him right away and got so excited to see him every morning. Nicholas took different waking routes but preferred taking my dog to the field which he most enjoyed. Great guy. Highly recommend!”

About: Being a lover of all animals and pets, I’ve had the pleasure of being a dog and rabbit owner. From walking friends’ dogs to falling in love with every dog I meet around town, I will make sure your fur babies are treated like the princes and princesses they truly are. No request is too big! Super flexible schedule working as a free lance entrepreneur part time. I am currently available for walks and dog sitting every weekday, and weekends if needed. I know that each pet has their own unique needs and quirks, so no matter what your pet needs are, I will do my best to be thorough and attentive. Having a medical background, I have no issues with giving medication if needed as long as you provide me specific instructions or your fur baby’s preferences.
About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was 8 years old, watching my neighbors pets when they were away. My college degree in Animal Science taught me the background information needed to care for medically complex animals, such as dogs with diabetes or cats with FeLV or FIV. I have experience administering injections, giving pills, wound care, and other medical treatment. If you’re looking for an experienced pet sitter to care for your beloved friend, look no further! I work remotely and can spend as much time with your pet as you need. On the weekends I have even more flexibility! Any time you need someone to take care of your pet, I’ll be available. I take safety very seriously and take precautions to ensure the safety of your pet and my own safety. When I first meet your pet, I introduce myself very slowly and pay close attention to body language. When pet sitting in someone else’s home, I always double check locks while entering the home and leaving to ensure that no strangers can enter and no pets can get out.
“I can’t recommend Anahi enough! She went above and beyond to care for my baby boy. From regular updates with photos to thoughtful check-ins, I always felt at ease knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. Bailey was happy, well-fed, and clearly adored. It’s rare to find someone this reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind. I’ll definitely be booking with Anahi again—thank you for everything!”
About: I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats, young and old. I recently adopted a sweet puppy and my cat was a stray who adopted me! I’ve watched friends’ pets many times so am familiar with caring for other folks’ pets. I’ve always been good at making friends with pets of any kind and am excited to go the extra mile to make yours feel safe and loved while you’re away! I work from home and the first thing I do each morning is take care of my own pets, so I can definitely add your pets to the routine as well. My schedule is usually flexible so I can accommodate different times within reason. I am diligent about following all pet care instructions provided to ensure your pets receives the standard of care you’re looking for. I understand that different pets will have different needs and personalities so just let me know how to best care for your pet! I am careful in understanding pets’ body language to ensure that I take the correct approach in interacting with them effectively. I also take health and safety very seriously and will do all I can to ensure your pet is safe, secure and healthy while in my care.
“Our boys had a great first walk with Katie today. She was a delight to work with. Very reliable, great communicator, bonded immediately with Charlie and Gus at the meet and greet. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up around dogs. They aren’t just our pets, they’re our family: children, sisters, brothers. My experience ranges from caring after my own family dogs to walking/sitting for dogs and cats of friends, employers, and extended family. I currently do not have a furry companion of my own; my beloved Gia girl passed in 2021 at 17 years old! (Pictured in the banner of my profile). I treat every dog and cat like my own. ❤️ I’m an actress/comedian and embodiment mentor. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of energy to give towards your babies. I’m available for walks and drop-ins Monday-Thursday 8:30AM-8PM. I’m available for housesitting Sunday night-Wednesday night. I have cared for puppies and senior dogs and I am adaptable to your pets needs and any special instructions. Your babies will have my full attention and presence.
About: Hello, my name is Reese. I’ve taken care of dogs and been a dog owner for most of my life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species and home that will make missing their owner not so bad! I would be more than excited to help take care of a local furry friend, whether it be a day or a few, I am a quality dog sitter and here to help. I am a local nursing student during the week for a few hours at a time. Therefore that schedule can be further discussed and worked around a dog visitor. Other than that I am home and typically there for the remainder of the day. I would be able to give undivided attention to the pup while under my care. Growing up, our family was a family of 5 when including our pup. I have a clear sense of the environment a dog belongs in, and a comfortable one at that. I live in a spacious two bedroom apartment complex with plenty of outdoor opportunities to have your furry friend get a walk, run, or even just daily fresh air. My roommate is also a dog-lover and would be more than willing to make our apartment suitable for a pup.
“I am very grateful for Nicholas. I have two dogs, one of which is 170 LBS. They can be a handful and Nicholas is great with them. He even came out and walked them in the rain.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free.

We couldn’t be happier with Katie! She’s been absolutely wonderful with our large (and sometimes stubborn) golden retriever. Not only does she take him on walks, but she also stays to play with him afterward, which he loves. Katie is reliable, kind, and great with big dogs. Highly recommend!!!
