About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

“I was able to enjoy my international trip without worry because Caroline did such a good job with my cat. She went the extra mile to come meet him in person to make sure he would be comfy with her before I left, and she also did a lot to accommodate my last minute schedule changes, which I couldn’t be more thankful for. If you’re looking for an experienced sitter that truly loves animals and also being as helpful and kind as she can, I can’t recommend Caroline enough!”

About: We both have had dogs growing up along with always pet sitting on the side! We are two very active individuals who walk at least once everyday! If your dog wants a little extra exercise we can run with them as well!! Even though we live a busy life, we always find time to walk daily! Adding a four legged friend would make our walks even better! We’re very aware of our surroundings and extremely vigilant when it comes to caring for and watching dogs! We would never let a dog out of our sight, and with two of us, there’s always an extra set of eyes watching!

“Highly recommend Alexandra. She totally followed through on all our instructions and she takes the best cat photos you’ve ever seen! Hope I can use her again.”

Peggy M.

“Rico was absolutely wonderful! He treated my furbabies like his own, staying flexible and attentive throughout. He didn’t just stick to the basics—he added extra walks and even gave them baths, which they really needed! I couldn’t be happier and will definitely book Rico again. Highly recommend him for all your pet care needs!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Ray whom we used to walk our beloved dog each day for a week while we were on vacation. She precisely followed our instructions, communicated with us each day,and sent pictures to us for each walk. We found to be conscientious and trustworthy and certainly will rebook with her as needed”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three cats received! Lavinia was incredibly responsive throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. The photos she sent were frequent and adorable — it was clear our cats were comfortable and well looked after. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. We’ll absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter.”

“Baela did a great job taking care of my two cats! One of them is a little bit difficult and needed medication, and she took care of it no problem. My cats were happy when I got home, and everything was in order. Baela communicated very well before and during my trip. I would definitely recommend Baela and would use her again next time I go out of town.”

“Madeline was awesome! She was communicative, sent wonderful photos, and did a great job! We were able to rest easy knowing our cat was in great hands while we’re away! Thanks, Madeline!”

Megan S.

“Huge huge huge shout out to MacKenzie for watching my pups while I was out of town! I just moved up here and was a little worried about being away from the new place/state and leaving the dogs up here in the meantime. However, MacKenzie just seemed trustworthy, cool, and kind, and I was right! Not only did she want to make sure she did a good job and followed their schedules and everything to a T, she also just loved and cared about them instantly. What really sold MacKenzie as just being a rockstar was her willingness to work with my one dog who has major stranger danger and takes a bit to trust especially with females. MacKenzie did what she could and spent a lot of time focusing on his comfortability and building his trust with her while still ensuring my other dog got her attention and love as well. Throughout the visits, MacKenzie gave me numerous photos and videos as well as updates from all her visits. I am truly grateful to have had her help and her love and care for my animals while I was away. I will 100% be using MacKenzie from here on out for my animal’s care!”
