“Thank you to Ann for taking good care of our kitties and making sure our finicky kitten eats enough for dinner! And an extra thank you for helping us out over the holidays”
“I am usually working from home full time so am skeptical to leave my only “kids” alone with someone else. Then Jessica came along, yay! She’s super sweet, great with communication and goes above and beyond: I only asked her to help me for potty breaks while I had to go into the office but she also stayed and played with my two dogs for extra time!! She even gave me some tips on fixing my fence! She’s a Jessica of all trades!! Very special.”
“Ruben was great!! He was on time, very nice, and took good care of my two dogs. This was my first time having a stranger walk my dog who is very reactive and I felt comfortable after meeting Ruben that he was very knowledgeable and could handle it. I would definitely book with him again!”
“I’m very happy that animal lovers like Eko and Sarah get to experience the joy that we often do with our dogs. Work requires a long commute for both my husband and I, and we worry about their need for potty breaks and being able to enjoy the day. I cannot express how truly grateful I am for their help in ensuring the well being of our dogs, our peace of mind, and the very modest rate they’re requesting to do so. While very relaxed in our request for help, Eko and Sarah were taking notes (literally) on what we hoped to achieve on their drop-ins, even exceeding requested times to ensure the welfare of our dogs. I thank them for this peace of mind, and I look forward to all the photos of future adventures they experience! (As my husband and I continue to work and “make that puppy food!”).”
“Allison was great with Boone my chocolate lab. He is a big strong goofball and she handled him well. I got updates and a summary of visits. Boones got a new buddy and he will see her again!”
“Alison was great with communication and sent pictures and updates of our fur babies. This was the first time my husband and I have ever left our cats with a stranger but Alison made it easy. Definitely booking with her again when we go out of town next time!”
“She was great with our high energy puppy, who usually tends to scare people away! She was very nice and dropped in to play with our puppy during his training sessions. She acted professionally, seemed to love dogs, was super calm and really helped us with the training. She also seemed experienced with dogs as she gave us a couple tips!”
About: I have worked with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and much more. I have cared for cats and dogs for years, and I am a former Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) currently in the process of renewing my designation. I am available: Pet sitting - Saturday evening, Sunday and Monday (all day) Pet walking/Drop-In Visit: -Sunday and Monday (all day) -Tuesday thru Saturday 4:30pm - 9pm I am comfortable giving dogs/cats medications. My dog Foxy has anxiety, so she receives oral medication and a prescription diet (for her sensitive stomach), and I also have experience administering medications to dogs/cats in the vet clinic.
About: Hello! My name is Clara and I adore dogs. I grew up with 2 rambunctious boxers and was heavily involved in their puppy training and continued care. I now have the sweetest, little beagle mix of my own who is a gentle senior. She loves spending time with other dogs and so this is no barrier to accepting other dogs into my apartment! I am a medical student and also have abundant experience as a medical assistant and home health aid. Caring for others - whether dogs or humans - is my biggest passion and skill. I hope you give me the joy of caring for your dog! I’m a medical student so in general, drop in visits and walks work best for me on the weekends or at nighttime! However, I do have an ever changing schedule so please inquire for more information. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but am also happy to let them roam free if that is their preference. Your dog will always be leashed when I take them outside my apartment for walks. I love to take dogs out frequently (every 0-2 hours), so they get lots of outdoors time and stimulation! I also love playing games like tug of war. I truly have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to what your pet needs!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs from many different breeds! I often will dog sit my neighbors, friends, and families dogs while they are on vacation. My work schedule is very flexible and I work three days a week so I am available for potty breaks/ dog walking every 2-4 hours. There’s also plenty of time for play! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard with a runner for pups to play! I have two male pembroke welsh corgis that love to play!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in my community while they’re gone on a family vacation ever since I was a preteen. I am ready to be your pup and cats best friend🐾🐹🩵 After my childcare job I am available to care for your dog or cat 4-8pm on weekdays, 9am- 7pm on saturdays, and 1pm-7pm on sundays. I am perfectly able to go your home and care for your babies leaving it better than when I came in. Examples of this is sending photos, engaging in video chats, giving baths, feedings, taking out the trash, and extra cuddles!
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised my sweet Lab/Pit mix since she was just 6 weeks old, and I’ve helped care for many family pets—from energetic Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to strong, independent Huskies. I also share my home with a large, lovable yellow cat who’s been with me for the last 5 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether I’m stopping in to check on your furry friend or taking them out for a walk, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs (if they’re into that). Looking forward to meeting your pet soon! I am currently enrolled in grad school for social work. For this I am working a part time (unpaid) internship leaving me to find other ways of income until I graduate. I am very flexible but love consistency when it comes to responsibilities. I treat every home with the same care and respect I expect in my own. I’m mindful of your space, follow any specific instructions you provide, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. Your home and your pet’s comfort are my top priorities.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes for over 10 years, including puppies, seniors, and rescues. I can walk, feed, bathe, and administer basic medications, always ensuring safety and love. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2 PM, offering flexible and reliable scheduling. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your pet will receive constant supervision and care. I take dogs on regular walks and provide a safe, loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed.
