“Niki was amazing. She took pictures as well as updated me on how my dog was throughout their stay. She even allowed me to throw a curveball at her by adding on a four-month-old puppy for some of the walks too. She was very accommodating to my time request and was able to help me more than I could ever imagine. She has such a positive and happy attitude and I couldn’t imagine anyone else walking my dog. He was very happy and tired after their walk. She put my mind at ease knowing that my dogs were in good hands during their walks.”

About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.

About: I have been providing pet sitting/walking services since 2016, with experience caring for animals of various ages and needs, including senior dogs and young kittens. I currently provide recurring cat sitting care for Stella, a Ragdoll, on a quarterly basis. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention when caring for pets. My priority is to ensure every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their routines and meeting their individual needs. I also strive to provide pet owners with peace of mind through dependable, attentive care and clear communication. As an animal lover, I am committed to treating every pet with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so I’m available for early morning dog walks/drop ins at 6:00 or 7:00 AM any day of the week. I’m also available for walks, drop in visits, and pet care anytime after 5:00 PM Monday-Friday. I understand that every pet and owner has different needs, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for everyone. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits into your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend, so feel free to reach out with any questions or booking requests. I look forward to meeting you both! I prefer caring for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar space where they feel most comfortable. I’m happy to follow your care instructions and keep their routines as consistent as possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping them company, giving them extra attention, or making sure all their needs are met, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and at ease. I’ll always treat your home with respect and your pets like family!

About: I’m fine with cats and dogs. I enjoy taking dogs out and making sure the get good exercise. Will do kitty litter if needed :) I've been petsitting for a couple years now in my neighborhood and I enjoy it very much. I’ve been recommended by many people and I’m glad they trust my services. I can stay at the house for a couple hours if you need me to, however I will not stay overnight so I apologize if that’s an inconvenience. I usually drop in a couple times a day and spend a reasonable amount of time with pets, I want to make sure they don’t get lonely and I’ll spoil them with attention. I have experience with giving oral medication to pets. I also have experience with shy and anxious dogs, I volunteer at my local animal rescue so I know to approach animals carefully. I work Thursday through Sunday so any time after 2pm I am free to check in on your pet! I am free Monday through Wednesday a majority of the day if you need me to let them out in the morning or afternoon. I try to get an understanding of the pets temperament in order to learn how to approach them and make them comfortable. I always let the pet know that I mean no harm and I want to be their buddy!

About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life and always enjoyed learning their unique personalities and social hierarchies. I am still (forever) mourning the loss of my childhood dogs and funnel my love for them towards any dog I encounter. I was a 4Paws sitter in college, so I have experience with socializing puppies and some basic training, while adapting to the dog's different ages. I have a cat of my own that I love like my own human child, and I spread that care and joy to any kitty I encounter! I am currently very flexible as I am new to the area and between jobs. I have the time to show your pet the care and love that it needs while you are gone! I have my own car so I can easily travel to care for multiple pets if necessary. My yard is not entirely fenced in, but there is grass in the back and front. I have one cat in my home, so I require cat-friendly dogs that can ideally be crated for short periods if needed. As far as other cats, I know it can be situational, but I do have the space to keep the cats separated to begin with/ the whole visit if necessary. All of our indoor plants are pet-friendly as well!

About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule is a set Monday- Friday in the office from 830AM-430PM! I am pretty flexible and can come to your house during my lunch break if needed to let your furbaby out! I have a fully fenced in yard and my one golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!

About: Hi! I’m an 18 year old pet sitter and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has been a huge part of my life since I was 6 years old. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, as well as drop in to care for friends animals. I’m someone who is dependable, patient, gentle, and always on time. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I’ll do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. ❤️ I work part-time in the evenings, which means I have plenty of time during the day to care for and keep your pets company! I’m available every morning and have afternoon availability as well, while my work schedule stays consistent from week to week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for your pets in their home, I pay close attention to small details and follow your instructions exactly so you can feel confident that everything is being taken care of the way you prefer. I’m happy to help with feeding, dog walks, potty breaks, playtime, giving pets and attention, and caring for cats. I’ll make sure your pets have everything they need while you’re away and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible.

Lindsay did a wonderful job walking my dog Philo every morning for a week. She gave him long walks, cuddles and treats! I highly recommend her, my dog loved her right away! She was on time everyday and send pictures and comments. I’ll be using her again for trips or for when my schedule is busy.
