“Max loved Victoria. He taught her the entire path he walks and brought her back to the apartment. He had a great time and Victoria was good with him. I recommend her. She came before the appointment, met Max and the two seemed to bond.”
About: About Me: As a passionate pet lover and local animal advocate, I’ve dedicated my time to helping animals in my community. I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, and I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. My workdays run from 8:30 to 5:30 M-F, but I always make time for pets—checking in during my lunch break and dedicating quality time after work. Plus, I’m fully available on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I offer flexible pet care services, providing in-home pet sitting as well as visits and stays at your residence to ensure your pet feels right at home.
About: I have had various experiences with dogs and cats. I grew up around animals. I have dog sit and cat sit for friends and families for multiple years now and am very reliable. I have let sit for large dogs that are in older age and needs special care. I have also pet sit for multiple pets at once. It was a small dog and 2 cats. We went in walks, had cuddles, and played games. We even got to play with some toys. I am currently on summer break from teaching and am completely free. As I am not teaching right now I am able to be flexible to your needs of your pets. Whether that is going for a walk or going outside to play. I have my own apartment and it is animal friendly. Due to this the environment is very safe and inviting. In my home it is very calm and clean. This is important just in case your pet has allergies. Since I don’t have any pets myself I am able to give lots of care and attention to your pets.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve primarily cared for small and medium-sized dogs, but I’ve also had experience with larger dogs, including my roommate's two who were very cautious and selective about who they trusted. Somehow, they quickly decided I was one of their people! My family and friends also regularly trust me with their furry family members and often come to me for advice. I currently have a cat of my own who requires medication and has some behavioral quirks, so I’m comfortable with the extra patience, consistency, and attention that pets with special needs may require. I’ve always been the person animals seem to gravitate toward wherever I go. My mom has jokingly called me the “cat whisperer” for years, especially! I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their humans are away. I am self-employed and make my own schedule - I am very flexible so I am able to work from virtually anywhere and at any time, so fitting in any set care is very easy! I always want to make sure I earn the trust, respect, and love of the pets by being gentle, caring, and loving and showing them they can trust me. This often looks like some extra cuddles, a treat, some play time during quick drop-ins etc! There's nothing better than earning a fur baby's trust :)
“We are very excited to have Nicole care for our dog while we are at work/school! He is usually nervous around new people but has warned right up. I know they’ll be great pals, and it brings me such peace of mind!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Pet care is essential to my life, and I will take care of your buddy just like I would mine. I have had all kind of animals since I was young. I got my first hamster and by the time I was 5 and I got my first dog before I was 10 , I also had rabbits and gunnie pigs. Animals has always been, and will be an important part of my life. The weather is nicer and l enjoy being outdoors. This is a hobby I always wanted to do and I’m excited to be around animals, any chance I get. I will follow the routine that is given to me. I will communicate within timely manner to make sure all the dog needs are meet properly and I will update with photos
