About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.

“Tracy walked my dogs daily for three years and even when he was in the hospital he got someone to cover for him. He took extra special care of my boys and I dread moving to a new city and trying to find someone that comes even close to his level of caring and expertise. Hes the best there is in the area. Try him and you'll never go anywhere else.”

I am available anytime before 2 pm and after 11pm weekdays and most times on weekends. I am very flexible and can do same day bookings! I have 2 caring dogs at home with me that love new friends!

About: Hello! I love dogs and everything about them. I have a dog of my own who I recently trained to file his front nails! I enjoy playing in my backyard with him and recently have taken to making home made dog food and treats. I think it is fun to treat my dog like a family member. I am interested in learning about different breeds. I know how hard it is to find reliable and caring people who will treat your dog with the kindness s/he deserves. I would like to help reduce that stress and offer my services to those who are in need of quality dog care. I have experience with chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs as well. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop ins at most hours, including early morning and late nights. I am central in the city and am close to most areas. I have a fenced in yard. My dog is crate trained. I walk my dog daily and give him the best foods and preventative meds.

“Elena was fantastic with my old girl. I know my dog can be very shy when meeting new people and I heard she warmed right up! She was excited every time Elena came to pick her up for a walk. Thank you for putting my mind at ease and taking such good care of Chloe. ?❤️”


“Awesome job, reliable, great guy.”


“Craig and Edmy have been flexible, reliable, and kind while taking care of our girls while we are at work! We have started using them every week”


“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs , ever since I was about 8 years old . Growing up I’ve had many pets , and I currently have 2 dogs ;) . Throughout the years I have pet sit for neighbors or family friends . I am currently working a part time job teaching tennis , so I have plenty of time to play , and take your dog on walks ;) I can always be counted on to bring a ready to go energy ! Whether that is playing with dogs getting their energy out or even taking a little walk throughout the day .

“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”


About: I've worked with dogs, cats, and other animals since middle school. I've done short- and long-term sitting for dogs varying from a weekend with a mixed breed rescue to a month with a purebred Australian shepherd. I owned an elderly Maltese for three years, until he crossed the rainbow bridge. Currently I do have a limit of dogs of maximum 35 pounds. I am prepared and willing to work with training routines. I studied cats extensively in seventh grade in my attempt to persuade my parents into owning one. (It worked.) As either a cat owner or sitter, I've been working with cats ever since. I have a beautiful little black and white princess named Jane, with an affinity for burrowing in blankets and stealing pens, and a wild child named Lizzie who has never met a stranger. I offer dog and cat walks, animal feeding, water changes, litter box changes, playtime, and brushing. I'm open to pets outside the usual; anything except spiders. My availability is very flexible right now. Send me a message to get a request started! Currently I do gig work and have a very open and flexible schedule. Most Sundays I spend out of town, but feel free to message to discuss custom scheduling. Safety and care in a pet's home is reliant first and foremost on learning the family's routines and location of important items. Every family in every home has a system and routines in place; following those is the smoothest way to keep the animals happy and safe. In my home, I care for two young adult cats I own, as well as foster kittens. Right now, I have a group of four kittens to care for until they reach their goal weight for their spay/neuter surgeries. I do practice robust hygiene routines to ensure no potential illness is transmitted between the fosters and my cats.

“Shari is so sweet! She was great with my two big dogs. Of course most people get scared when big dogs are barking at them, but she was comfortable to just let them do their barking and growling circling her until they realized she was friendly. Very gentle and genuine with my dogs. She left a note thanking me for letting her walk my furbabies and told me how they did. Generous touch. I'm definitely going to book with her again!!”


About: I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 dogs of my own (a sweet and shy Pomeranian and a goofy, friendly Newfoundland) and two dog-friendly cats. I am willing to work with many different personalities when it comes to our visiting pups. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to your dog’s specific needs and offer the attention they need to feel comfortable with me. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times, transportation to and from my home if needed, and I have plenty of extra supplies so that you can leave behind any non-essential items. I hope to provide your dog with the type of care that allows you to enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet. Rest assured that I will be upfront and honest if I am not able to meet your expectations, rather than neglect your dog and leave them scared and missing you! Dogs are welcome to play with other furry friends, but I also provide them privacy if they need a little space. I am able to separate dogs within my home and yard to keep them safe and comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and become fast friends so you can be confident in my services. **At this time, I am unable to host dogs larger than ~40 lbs.** I do not work outside of my home. I have 3 children so I do leave the house for school and activity transportation. I am home with the dogs between drop-off and pick-ups for my kids. I have a fenced backyard, as well as an additional doggy play area. The sun room is always locked when dogs are hanging out there. The dogs are double fenced when playing and always supervised during potty breaks in the yard. I secure all dogs to the kitchen when another dog is being picked up or dropped off.

About: I grew up taking care of family pets, including medium and large-sized dogs and cats. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and currently have two cats of my own that I have raised since kittens. I have been trusted by family and friends to care for their pets while they are away, whether it be a long vacation or just during the work day. I would love to keep your furry friend company! I am currently a graduate student with a schedule that varies day by day. This allows me gaps of time off during the work day and at nights when I would be available for drop-in visits and walks! If you’re away for the weekend and need pet care, I am also free on weekends to help out. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I understand the uncertainty of allowing others to be responsible for your pets and am respectful of others’ space and care wishes.

About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!

About: I take care of my brothers dogs and friends dogs while they’re out of town. I also have a cat and a Doberman that want love and attention constantly. I love all animals and I haven’t met one that doesn’t love me! I recently started my own business and I’m still building my clientele, so I have random days/times of the day that I’m free to spend walking dogs! I love animals and exercise Looking forward to walking pets and dropping by for check ins if you need me to! I love dogs and cats and have tons of experience with both
