About: I’ve had cats ever since I can remember. My family has taken in countless strays, raised kittens, and helped them find forever homes. My own cats are now 5 and 3 years old and the light of my life. I would love to help check in on your furry friend and spend time with them while you’re away! I can typically do drop ins early in the morning before work, or in the early evening after work! I’m quite flexible, although on weekends I may not be available. I want to provide you, your pet, and your home with the most reliable and respectful service. So please make sure to provide any necessary instructions ahead of time :)

About: I have dog sat for friends when they're out of town. I have watched my mom's cat for her whole life too. I love animals, I love playing with them, I love the excuse to get out for a walk, I love sitting with them, I love talking to them like they can understand what I'm saying. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals and care for them deeply. I work from home and have the flexibility to leave for a walk or run an errand whenever I need to. So if that means a 3 pm walk for your pup or a morning and evening feeding time for your pet, I'm here! I have a fenced in back yard, fenced in front balcony, and enclosed spaces throughout my home. I also have an open floor plan on the main level where I would feed your pet and hang out them mostly.

About: I've walked, fed, loved, and taken care of dogs for close to 16 years, from pit bulls to huskies to poodles. If your dog needs a temporary friend, I'm your guy. Now, I have my dog-sized cat Figaro, who has known me for 7 years. Being a doting Cat Dad has prepared me well for making sure your cat gets the TLC they need! I work remotely full-time and am very mobile, always ready to drop in when needed or to sit in for extended periods. Maybe your buddy can even help me out with a spreadsheet or two. It's all about the details. Number one: food in the dish (as appropriate), water in the bowl. Nobody misses a meal or goes thirsty with me. Secondly, where are they? Are they on their cat tree, are they off to cause mischief, are they waiting on the couch to play? At all times, I have this information for safety and for optimal picture-time. I don't need the little guy to come out of his hiding spot, I just need to know he's safe.

“Jada and Naz walked our two poodle mixes at 10pm every night while my husband was out of town for 18 nights. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, but they were able to work with her kindly and effectively. They had very good communication and were good-spirited even when it was raining.”

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I’m especially experienced with larger dogs and enjoy long walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine and follow your instructions carefully so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I am currently finishing up law school and have a relatively low workload this semester. I am extremely flexible both throughout the week and on weekends! I treat every pet like they’re my own and make their comfort and safety my priority. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on giving your dog a safe, enjoyable experience while following any instructions you provide about feeding, bathroom breaks, leash habits, or behavior. I’m happy to take the time to get to know each dog and adjust my approach to their individual personality and energy level.

Ella is amazing! She took on a last-minute walk for my pup and went above and beyond - put his raincoat on, dried him off after, and made sure he was settled before she left. She's so thoughtful and communicated clearly the whole time, sending cute photos and even a heads up on a slight bathroom issue. Highly recommend!

Eric is the best! We have a new and nervous pup and he was patient letting her get to know him and get comfortable with him on midday walks. He was able to put her at ease and help get her on a good midday routine. We are so grateful to Eric and hope to see him again soon!

Mia walked my dog Crosby while I was out of town and a friend watched him at her home. Because of that it was a little bit more challenging to set up a meet and greet, but Mia accommodated our schedule and was able to meet Crosby prior to his first walk and ask some questions, which also helped me feel more comfortable while I was away. Crosby seemed to have a great time, and Mia spoiled him properly. I’m grateful for her assistance and kindness towards my little dude.

Very conscientious, polite, punctual and persevering with our frisky 100# black Briard who is very strongly bonded to us. Collaborates well with us amidst pickup/return antics of our other 100# tawny Briard. Good feedback, map of walk & pix show brisk pace and variety over good distance. Intend to continue for weeks while my broken ankle heals.

Waqar is the absolute best—he is punctual, reliable, communicative, and was wonderful with my dog, Turner. Turner can be high energy and Waqar was totally up to it. Turner came home happy and sufficiently tired out every time! I would 100% recommend Waqar to anyone.
