About: As a dog lover, I care about the safety and happiness of your pet. I will always go out of my way to make sure an animal is comfortable and cared for. Since I adopted my chihuahua with an attitude almost 5 years ago, I've learned to understand and respect boundaries. I have cared for friends' dogs of all breeds when they are away and I have also fostered a couple of dogs. I would love to spend some time with your pet! I am a graphic designer by day, but I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I will be able to care for your pet in the late afternoons or evenings, and sometimes on weekends, especially Sundays! I follow instructions thoroughly and respect your space, as well as your dog's boundaries. I understand that I am entering your pet's home. My communication with owners is important to me, and I can send updates and photos when I am with your pet if requested.

“Mirielle showed up on time and took good care of Bootsy. She's pleasant to both dogs and their associated humans. It made a long night out more fun because we didn't have to worry about Bootsy.”


“Lori has watched our pets a few times and is super about communicating. She also is great with cats, taking her time to play with them and sending pictures.”


“What a wonderful experience for us! Nicole couldn’t have been any nicer and her love for our cat, Janet showed! Definitely hope she and Janet can get together on our next trip!”


“Thank you so much for the help with Daisy! Brian is responsive, helpful, and thoughtful with our pup. Will be reaching out to him again in the future.”

About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over eight years and I’ve always stepped in to help friends and family when they travel. Since I was 17 now that I’m turning 32 I have been trusted sitter for multiple families building strong relationships based on reliability and care. I have experience with puppies, including basic training like potty pads sit paw and outdoor bathroom habits, as well as with senior dogs who need extra attention due to health issues. I’m also very patient with timid dogs and love helping them feel safe and comfortable over overtime. More than anything I truly love animals. When their families are away, I do my best to make them feel safe loved and right at home. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule that I actually make my own schedule at work so I have a lot of time to make sure that if a family needs me for anything important like a walk or just a check in to make sure that the dogs have food and water I can do so. I have more than five years of experience of working with animals in their own homes in the clients homes, and I make sure that I follow every rule and every step that a client does leave for me because I want the dog to have the same routine as if their families have not left for a day or the week. If I do care for an animal at my own house, I do make sure that I still do follow the rules at the families give me and make sure that they feel loved even though they are in a new environment and it might be a little scary for them at first, but I always make sure to make them feel as comfortable as possible with that being taking them around the house, letting them smell around, making sure that they’re comfortable with my things that I have such as furniture if I’m making Food or if I’m cleaning and they don’t feel overwhelmed by noises so I always make sure that I’m watching their behavior and just following their steps.

Arianna P.
“Ari has cared for my two cats multiple times. While my partner and I go away for weekend, or sometimes week long, vacations, Ari has properly managed feeding, playing, and cleaning up after our cats perfectly while maintaining cleanliness in the home (ex. cleaning up litter or hairballs.) multiple times. In times of emergency, Ari has been perfectly capable of taking our cats to the vet, and I would entrust her to do so. There was one instance where one of our cats got sick (vomiting) but luckily it wasn't a situation where she had to take her over. Still, Ari handled the situation very well. Knowing Ari for about 12 years now, I know she LOVES animals. She was always talking about the dogs, chickens, peacocks, and rabbits on her family's farm. She also used to take care of my late bunny for me on occasion. She's very gentle and empathetic. You absolutely will not be disappointed choosing Ari, especially if you have communicated special requests clearly.”

Christopher L.
“I cannot say enough good things about Christopher as a pet caregiver. His dedication and genuine love for animals are truly remarkable. From the moment he met my pet, it was clear that their well-being was his top priority. Christopher's attention to detail and ability to anticipate their needs was impressive. He provided a nurturing environment where my pet felt comfortable and happy. Whether it was daily walks, engaging playtime, or just providing a cozy spot for relaxation, Christopher's care was exceptional. His professionalism and excellent communication skills also made the entire experience seamless and worry-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Christopher to anyone in need of a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Your furry friend will receive the best care imaginable, and you'll have peace of mind knowing they are in such capable hands.”
