Trina is dependable and very sweet to our dog who isn’t the easiest to take on walks due to her reactiveness around other dogs.

About: I love all animals! Im used to pet care i have helped my aunt with her 3 dogs that needed daily walks! I always took care of them as if they were my own! I also have experience with elderly dogs who needed more relaxed care and needed to be given medication daily. I enjoy going outside long or short walks and it’s always great to have a walking partner! I have a one full time job, so this would be 8 hour shifts. I mostly work early in the morning. But besides that I would love to be your pets new playmate! I can adjust and make the free time around my working hours. So please don’t hesitate to reach out! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own! Meaning they will be given unconditional love lots of playtime and attention! With my own pet she is the queen of the house and I am there to take care of her the best I can! You won’t have to worry while they are with me!

My malinois warmed up to Meg immediately. I wouldn’t trust just anyone with my dog since he’s 95 pounds and can be prone to hypervigilance, but Meg is calm, knowledgeable, and intuitive with animals. I feel totally comfortable with her.

Alessandro is great with my two dogs. They love him. He so clearly has that gift of animal connection where you can just see the almost immediate trust and rapport he is able to create. He is caring and attentive to their needs. My dogs are particularly energetic and can get themselves into trouble. He is very attuned to their safety and manages them well.

About: I am taking a break from work and have the time to house sit and check in as well as board. I have done Rover for a few years now and have worked at dog boarding facilities. I am able to walk your fur babies in the morning and in the evening. I have experience with medication and injections for whom are needed. I have starting training experience and hope to learn more while watching my fur child Ruffles grow and enjoy life. It is true that Each pet has his/her own characteristics, so I try to find way to connect and gain there trust in anyway I can. I understand all pets have different characteristics and I will do everything possible to get to know your pet. I understood pets are a huge part of our familyand that is how they will be treated with love, understanding and compassion. Pets are truly men's best friend, and one that is always there to make our life so much exciting and fun. I can say at the moment I am able to fit any pet into mine and my own pet’s routine! Ruffles gets along with children , any size 🐶 dog and adults! I am trying to board only one pet at a time with my own pet at home just to be in the safer side. However, once your pet is at my home, he or she becomes part of the family instantly. They are allowed on top of furniture. My Ruffles is a non-caged dog but I do own a cage.

About: I grew up with tons of pets and have pet sit for friends and family in the past. I am restarting my pet sitting but have been volunteering with a local cat rescue for the last 4 years on a weekly basis. I can provide exercise, play time, food, and administer medications. I have my own cat and know how special and important pets are as members of the family. I work full time from home for a non profit and am luckily that my schedule is fairly flexible so I can easily pop over to facilitate a walk or check in on pets. It’s important to me to learn the typical routine and structures in place for pets and then try my best to maintain those for a pets comfort and ease of transition in having a petsitter. Safety inside and out is important, especially going on a walk.

My dogs don’t like anyone, but they LOVE Maria. She has a magic dog finger and calmed my anxious dogs down immediately. We trust Maria with our dogs and we leave our dogs with her overnight, something we can’t do with anyone else. Thank you Maria for being so watching our high maintenance dogs. We highly recommended her to watch over your beloved pets.

We really appreciated how patient Chris was with our rescue boxer mix. Mac is 70 lbs of anxiety with more than a few challenging tendencies. Chris was super patient and took the time to build a relationship on Mac's terms. He has now become one of the few humans Mac actually trusts, high praise indeed from our choosy pup!

About: I understand that cats need time, space, and trust. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different temperaments, from affectionate to independent or shy. I pay close attention to litter habits, appetite, and mood changes, and I respect each cat’s routine to help them feel secure in their own environment. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care. I’m reliable with feeding times, playtime, and check-ins, and I don’t rush visits. I’m especially comfortable spending quiet time with cats, whether that means interactive play or simply keeping them company. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and following instructions closely. I make sure food, litter, and living areas are kept clean, doors and windows are secure, and pets are monitored for any changes in behavior or appetite. I respect each pet’s routine and provide a calm, low-stress environment at all times.

Yuri has been a godsend for our family. I really appreciate that Yuri has been flexible and available for last minute walk requests when my schedule changes. Yuri is also very adaptive to Nora’s preferences. Nora hates the rain and so when it rains, Yuri will manage to get Nora to go potty but also play with Nora indoors whenever Nora refuses to walk in the rain
