About: All my life, I have been around animals. I had pets, and I took care of my family's pets. Being an only child, the animal became a family to me!! Usually when I'm boarding a pet, I like to taking to walks so the can feel comfortable and enjoy the stay. Once back from the walks, I love to play with them so we can nap together right after! Based on what the pet parents indicated to me. I will ensure they get all the attention and the company your pet deserves. Will feed them, walk them, play with them, and bathe them if necessary. My goal is to make sure they feel as loved as their parents make them feel


6. Ami N.

“Ami is a gem. I hired her for reoccurring walks while I attended some fall classes and I'd definitely reach out again. She is reliable, communicative, and my pup loves her. Thank you, Ami!”


7. Marisol C.


“Great communication!”


8. Daniel K.
“We needed someone to come walk/run with our young, high-energy labradoodle while I’m recovering from an injury. She is used to going out everyday and gets crazy without proper exercise. Daniel has been a perfect fit for her. She gets so excited when she sees him approaching the front door and she returns happy and exhausted! I won’t hesitate to hire him for dog sitting when needed. I highly recommend Daniel!”


9. Victoria A.
“We went on vacation and Victoria took care of our dogs at my house, she was always very punctual and nice with my pets, she was in communication with me and sent me photos of my dogs, she is a very reliable person and I would definitely hire her again.”


10. Emily H.

“Emily was absolutely incredible. She was able to accommodate Malbec and I last minute. She was very nice and professional and my favorite was the fact that she kept updating me and sending pics. My boy was very happy and was so well taken care of. She went above and beyond making sure he had all he need at home before she left. I definitely recommend her to take care of any of your fur guys. Will definitely be using her again.”


11. Kathryn B.

“Great communication and she is terrific with my dog. Highly recommend!”

15. Marisol T.
About: I adore all pets! I would love to walk and play with your cat or dog. We have 2 Goldendoodles who love to play and enjoy to be loved at all times. I will provide the same care to your pet when we go on walks or any drop in checks. If there are any special needs for your precious pet I will be happy to do them. I grew up with dogs and cats and have always enjoyed being around them. Taking care of your pretty furry guy or girl will be a pleasure! I can do as many visits as needed and walk your pet for as long as you want me to. I enjoy being outdoors anytime of year and walking any day of the year will not be a problem. I currently work from home and can stop by your place during the day. I can walk and play with your furry dogs and make sure to give them the attention they need. Cannot stay overnight. We currently don’t board dogs at our home but happy to care for them at your home. I can follow any special needs your furry pet needs.

“Emerson has grown up with pets and has now has a dog of her own which she rescued and loves with her whole heart! I would trust her with my dog of 13 years! She has a kind and caring heart!”




17. Paloma H.
About: I used to work in the pet industry. Meeting new dogs was the best part of the job. I'm familiar with grooming services, dog trainers, and have relationships with many local vets. I can balance treating your pet like a member of the family, but still respect that they are an animal. I can be firm if needed or spoil them rotten with affection. I will adhere to strict diets and can offer nutritional advice if they are experiencing digestion issues. If they like to motor, I will take them for relaxing car rides. If you need a little help with some behavioral issues, I will also do my best to improve the bond between you and your pet. I happen to have a soft spot for the oldies but goodies.


18. Karla P.

“Great service! She provided dog-walking service daily while I was at work. Very easy to contact and make booking adjustments with.”


19. Kat M.
“Kat is the best pet caregiver I know. She grew up with pets (a dog and a cat), so she knows firsthand just how important it is to care for them like they're a part of your family. She also volunteered at a pet shelter, spending a few years walking and playing with the dogs. Kat has fostered several pets (dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and breeds), and she often watched my last dog. She now watches my new dog and he loves her! He has has a lot of medical issues, and Kat's the only one I trust to take him on his daily walks, ensure he takes his meds, and keep him out of trouble. Kat has always been first person I call when I need someone to watch my pets, and I recommend her to anyone who's looking for a new pet caregiver.”
