About: Hi! We are Nia and Miguel and would love to welcome your pet to their vacation home! We both have experience with many different sizes, breeds and temperaments! We live in a very quiet area with a large fenced in backyard for lots of running and playing. We both have over 10 years of experience working with cats and dogs and have always had pets in our homes.We look forward to speaking with you and spending time with your fur family! Nia works from home and has the ability to provide extra care and attention to those who need it. Between both of our schedules, we are able to provide day services and overnight boarding if needed. I have a large fenced in backyard with 3 very friendly adult/elderly mixed breed dogs to keep them company. All 3 of our dogs have been around other dogs and cats for many years have no bite history.
About: I have had experience with animals since I was a young child, we have always had animals in our home. In the past 5 years I have had an extensive amount of experience dog/house sitting and love what I do. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to fit in your schedule as well! Currently I have a very open schedule for pet care, so I am open to any routine that fits your schedule! Just let me know what you need! I prefer for there to be a fence at the home for safety reasons but if not I will make sure that your pets receive periodic walks if needed throughout the day and lots of cuddle time!
“Couldn’t recommend Susanna enough! I loved getting updates and pictures of my boy and I know he had a great time on his walks. Susanna is kind, trustworthy and truly cares about the animals!”
About: When I was a kid I would walk my neighborhoods dog. I baby sit my sisters dog often and I had an ESA (Emotional Support Animal) but she passed away in July. I currently still have my 8 year old St.Dane but he can’t do much these days because of how old he is. I’d like to be more active and teach my kids responsibility and hard work. Just looking to help someone in my spare time is all. I had 2 dogs but one of them unfortunately recently passed. We love and spend time with our big guy. He’s my kids best friend.
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals as far back as I can remember. I have experience in caring for puppies/kittens, geriatric, and exotic pet care. I am a certified veterinary assistant as well as having 2 years of experience as a kennel technician. I also have experience with special needs animals such as diabetic and paralytic animals. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care and play with your fur babies! I am also not out of the house much when I am not working so I will have plenty of one on one time with your pet. I have three friendly dogs and one friendly cat that love to meet new friends. I do crate our dogs when no one is home which is very rare and will only be for a couple of hours typically. I have a large back yard but we do not let the animals run loose, they are tethered/leashed when outside. I will be watching and/or walking with them at all times when outside. If I am pet sitting animals in a client’s home I will care for the animal however the client directs me to and in the safest and loving way as possible.

About: I have a 2 legged cat and I’ve had him since he was a baby. He requires a little extra care every day and it’s so worth it. Every night he lays on my lap and makes biscuits and I enjoy every minute of it. I’ve decided to pet sit full time and enjoy loving on as many animals as long as I can. I have several animals of my own, cats and dogs. What better way to make money doing what you love ❤️ I clean out my cat boxes twice a day. After they are fed in the evenings I play with my cats for a while. I put my dogs outside in my fenced in yard to go potty and then I play ball with them. My doodles favorite thing to do! Then I bring them in the house to eat and cuddle on the couch.

“Brooke did an amazing job! It was our first time using this application and wanted to find someone who our pups liked in the event of being long periods of time or going on vacation. The pups loved her (they’re a tough crowd) and she did wonderfully engaging with them so that they would get excited for their walk. Very grateful to have found her!”

About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.
About: I absolutely love animals. I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life growing up and I still am. I’ve taken care of all my animals as well as helped with friends and families animals. I’m currently unemployed and am looking for a job right now so this is something I’m doing until then and I may continue once I get a job as well. I’m watching over the pets at all times, making sure they aren’t chewing or eating anything they shouldn’t be, taking them outside to go to the bathroom frequently, playing with them, etc.
About: I grew up on a farm. I have taken care of all kinds of animals. I relate to animals well and am very patient. I have the most experience with cats, dogs and horses.
