About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities for over three years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience following feeding schedules, giving basic care, and providing extra attention to puppies and senior dogs. I always treat pets as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, making sure they get attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. As a nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable monitoring behavior changes and overall well-being. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and love.

About: I’ve had 3 family dogs, and currently miss my energetic nephew golden doodle Harvey back in Texas. For years, family and friends have trusted me to care for pets of all ages, and I can handle multiple animals at once. I’m comfortable hiking the hills of the city or running through the park to stretch your pets legs! I have experience with weeks old puppies as well as week long pet sitting with senior dogs needing extra care. Can’t wait to meet y’all! These days with my remote small business, I’m lucky enough to have a comfortable balance with maintaining my loyal regular clients and having a couple open days to schedule new friends. When I’m caring for a pet in a clients home, I first check with the pet parent to review all care notes before our appointment begins. It’s important to know from the parent how their pet will react to their absence and usually we get to know each other a bit before a longer booking occurs. Generally my schedule allows me to relax and play with your fur friend throughout our time together, whenever they would like.

About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!

“Artie is so kind and calm with our two senior pups on their recurring walks together! He is very understanding and accommodating with their needs (e.g. restricting strenuous exercise, carrying up and down stairs). I also appreciate the consistency of text and photo updates with every walk. It was quick and convenient to book with him; he made himself available for a meet and greet prior to booking and then for all our scheduling needs thereafter. We're grateful to have a responsible dog walker to help us care for our fur babies while we deal with long work days and commutes! One less thing to stress about :) Thank you, Artie!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life! I’ve had a number of both cats and dogs throughout my childhood & adulthood. I currently have one tuxedo furbaby now—his name is Shiva, and I love him with all my heart. I’m currently on the search for full-time employment, so I have a completely open schedule that would give me more than enough time to incorporate pet-care into my daily routine. Since I’m mainly at home, I’m always with my pet cat, and making sure that he’s okay is my top priority. Whatever the client needs to be done for their pet is what I’m willing to do, no matter cat or dog. Just let me know how you would like for me to care for your pet(s)! Of course, I am always willing to provide the pets playtime, give them walks, and provide them with enough enrichment while you are away.

Jessica is a great communicator, thoughtful and detail oriented! She kept me looped in throughout her visit and shared lots of photos. When my frenchie was being a diva and didn’t want to go home, she was patient and checked in with me before carrying him inside. Would highly recommend her to other anxious pet owners!

Ale did some dog walking for us a few days a week for several weeks, and I really enjoyed working with her. She was dependable, very communicative, and just generally great with our dogs. One of our dogs is reactive and she really didn't shy away from any challenges. I told her some of the issues that could come up, and she made sure to let me know how things went with those concerns in mind. She's a true dog lover, and it was so helpful to me to know that our dogs were safe, well cared for, and enjoying some great company while I was at work. We definitely hope to work with Ale again!

I hired Greg to walk my little chihuahua mix Otis, and I very highly recommend!! My previous dog walker had to call out for a family emergency, and I was worried about starting someone new, but Greg immediately put my mind at ease. He’s playful, thoughtful, sends detailed updates, and really takes the time to know your dog. Otis has so much energy, but Greg is patient and returns him tuckered out and ready to nap all day. Happy to have found him!
