About: I've been taking care of dogs since my first puppy at the age of 10. I now have a cat who I love very much (doesn't live in the state with me right now) and have pet-sat for friends all over the country whenever they are out of town. I work from home and have plenty of time to take dogs on walks and play with them. I would also be available on weekends if I'm not traveling. I can provide dog-walking and boarding. I will provide a safe environment for your pet and provide comfortable accommodations. I will prioritize their social interaction at dog parks (or just walks around the city) and can provide updates for you as often as you'd like.

In addition to my professional experience, I’m currently enrolled in school to become a certified pet groomer, where I’m continuing to expand my knowledge of proper handling, safety, and overall pet wellness. I look forward to providing the best possible pet care experience for you and your pet, and treating every animal as if they were my own.

I have used Mafalda for drop in visits with my 4 year old doodle twice so far. She is very detailed in her care of him and is very communicative throughout her visit. I feel very comfortable with her and she is definitely an animal lover. I look forward to using her services in a regular basis and for house sitting when I travel soon.
We booked Nicole for last-minute drop-in visits for our dogs, and she truly saved us. She was quick to respond, always on time, and so kind with our pups. She sent photos and updates each visit, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dogs adored her, and we would happily book with Nicole again.
Caitlin is wonderful! I just rescued my dog from the treats, so there has been a lot of experimenting with finding the best routine. Caitlin has been incredibly flexible and gives Emma the absolute best care and love. I completely trust her and feel comfortable going to work knowing that Caitlin will let her out. I will definitely keep booking her!
Sean did an excellent job watching over our babies while we were gone! We booked Sean last minute so that we could go out of town for our anniversary and we couldn’t be happier with his service. He did an excellent job communicating and the house was left spotless. I have no doubt that we’re gonna book Sean again in the future!
Marti did an AMAZING job taking care of my cats (as well as a local stray). I greatly appreciated every message, update, and photo and the thoughtful details included; my cats were clearly happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Marti to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and genuinely caring cat sitter! Thank you Marti!!
Jada was by far one of the best sitters we’ve had! We have a disabled cat with extra care needs, and she handled everything with so much confidence, patience, and kindness. She kept us updated the entire time, left our apartment clean, and even surprised us with a thoughtful welcome-home present. I’d recommend Jada to absolutely anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
We had such a great experience with Morgan! She took wonderful care of our two cats and left them well-fed, happy, and looking handsome and polished. Morgan was very thoughtful about cleaning up after them and keeping everything tidy, which we really appreciated. The regular updates and visit recaps gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely use Morgan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter!
Nevaeh is wonderful! My big dogs loved her, my guinea pigs appreciated her, and my cats even decided that she was a friend. She respected my home and followed all of the instructions for them. She communicates quickly and kindly. I will choose her again and again.
