About: Hello! My name is Noelle. I will treat your pet with the care that I provide my own animals, which is like family. I value safety, enrichment, exercise and fun! I know how freeing it is to leave and trust that your pet(s) will be safe and happy. I’ve been taking care of animals in my home since I was a child. In the past five years, I’ve been a go to pet-sitter for my friends and neighbors. These experiences have been a variety of breeds from 6 to 60 lbs and ages 1 to 16 years! I love building a bond with animals, no matter the temperament. My friend’s newly rescued lab mix went from being so nervous to get her harness on for a walk that it took two hours of coaxing, but by the end of the weekend, she was snuggling with me on the couch! I loved dog sitting so much that I rescued a chihuahua mix three years ago. He came to me untrained and very nervous about going outside so I have experience with basic training skills and modifying the training session for his needs. Additionally, my dog was very reactive to other dogs, and now he can meet other dogs on the sidewalk! Because I only use positive association methods (treats, praise, ball, etc.), this experience has expanded my capacity for patience and care towards other animals. I love my dog so much and I can sympathize with the experience of trusting your beloved pet to a new person, and I love to send photos of your pup during your trip, if that is what you want! I’m currently writing my dissertation for my Ph.D. at Yale in neurodevelopment, and I have my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Penn State. I needed to take some downtime while I’m finishing my degree so wanted a flexible job that allows me to spend time with dogs! I’m open to other animals too. I’m currently writing my dissertation for my Ph.D, which provides a flexible schedule for pet care and allows me to work from anywhere with wifi! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety by keeping unsafe objects out of the pet’s reach, following pet-specific instructions (medications, routines, leashed walks unless a yard is fenced), and monitoring their well-being for signs of distress. Trust is essential, so I respect my clients' homes, provide regular updates, and build a bond with their pets through patience and consistency. I also ensure a comfortable environment by sticking to routines and providing enrichment!

“Melissa was wonderful to communicate with, her responses were always prompt and professional. She did an amazing job looking after my dog, Millie, going above and beyond to make sure she was looked after and comfortable, while I was away for the day.”

About: I have helped raise 3 litters of puppies, and I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and abilities from my time as a pet parent and volunteer at my local animal shelter. I am currently in graduate school and work part time, leaving the majority of my days and weekends available to care for your furry friend! I am a lifelong animal lover, and given my active lifestyle, I am able to keep up with even the highest energy animals! I am also very detail-oriented, meaning that I can anticipate your animal’s needs and give them a similar experience to their day-to-day routine with you.

“Absolutely wonderful with midnight! Needed a last minute walked and she stepped up and took such great care of her, she was very detailed and put me at ease while I was away!”

About: I’m a 21 year old veterinary science student, with two pits that I absolutely adore!! I got Disney at the start of Covid and had to resocialize him all over again afterwards. Then we decided he needed friend. I’ve had experience with fleas, ticks, emergency vet visits- You name it! I love any and all animals, though I understand that each pet is different and has their own set of needs. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep your baby safe and healthy, I’ll treat them as my own!! ☺️ I work a part time job so I have more than enough free time to care for and play with your pet!! When I am not caring for your pet I’m probably caring for my own! Food, walks, coconut oil rubdown, tucked under the blanket you name it! I recognize that everyone’s schedule varies! I am great at following set routines. So if that means your dog needs to be walked fed and play with within 30 minutes I guarantee you within that 30 minutes will be well done. I will always leave your home and pet cleaner than I found them .

About: I'm Danny and I'm a graduate student at Northwestern living in DC, I have been walking dogs since before I can even remember and have had plenty of experience taking care of every type of dog, about 12 years worth. I will ensure that your dog is in good hands and be sure to treat him or her like my own. I'm more than happy to walk, run, throw a ball, play inside, or just relax with any dog. I have worked in shelters before and do have some experience with first aid, I also have learned how to deal with dogs of all demeanors, small and sassy to big and scared. I hope I'll be able to make your little pup feel right at home when I am with them.

“Great communication, attitude and caring. Our dog is a docile but powerful dog that still has crazy puppy vibes. They were able to manage him perfectly. I will definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone with full confidence.”

Alejandra A.

“Crystal is fantastic! Our pups love the time they spent walking with Crystal. Thank you for watching our pups and following the instructions to ensure proper care while we were away! We highly recommend Crystal!”

About: as a dog lover since birth, i use any opportunity i can to be around pups. after graduating college, i moved to denver (the ultimate dog heaven) and was a rover sitter for a few years! i also watched my boss’s 3 big dogs (and 2 birds) while she was out of town, so i have experience handling multiple animals at once :). I am currently a nursing student at Yale, so i am doing this when i can for some extra $$ and happiness ☺️🐶. I promise to take care of your pet like it’s my own! If you are interested, I would be happy to meet in person or on facetime and discuss logistics. I have class/ clinicals monday-wednesday this semester. i am free thursday-sunday for house sitting or walking as needed! my schedule shifts each term, but i will have my calendar updated for availability. since i cannot have pets in my apartment, my services currently include home visits and walks. i know how stressful being home alone for long periods of time can be for some dogs, so i will be there on time always. if needed, i am also happpy to stay overnight in your home while you are out of town if that makes you most comfortable!
