About: I have had animals my entire life. I currently have 2 cats of my own; Binx and Luci. I have 10+ years of dog and cat sitting experience. I am an animal lover and want to take care of your pets so you won’t have to worry! My own cat has medical issues so I am comfortable giving oral medications to pets. I can also do house sitting things like watering plants, getting the mail, etc… I would love to care for your pets! **I am a teacher and have open availability in June and July but my schedule will change come August so I cannot do mid day drops in long term!** I am a teacher and have my summers and breaks off and would love to spend them taking care of your pets! I can also intermittently dog walk or pet sit during the school year. I am incredibly responsible and respectful. I am also a huge animal lover and know how to care for animals. I have a high standard for who takes care of my pets and I promise to deliver the same level of care I would expect for my own pets!
“Jora and Darcy are besties! She’s extremely knowledgeable and did better with her than I’ve ever experienced with a walker, Darcy and I can’t wait to see her again!”
About: From fish to birds, cats to dogs - animals have long been a part of my life. I’ve cared for many types of animals, all at various stages of their life. For me, caring for animals is understanding their personalities and tailoring their care to them. I currently work remotely/at home, making me potentially available during the week for visits, walks, or a watchful eye. Weekends may also be available, on a situational basis. My home has open areas for play or lounging, a fenced in back court area, and walk-able areas around town for fresh air. Within the clients home, I’m open to specific care rules and want to provide a consistent level of care the pet is used to.
About: I grew up around all sorts of different dogs, and I love to play with them. Whether it's a walk, a brushing, or just want me to hang out with them, I'm the girl for you! I will say that I am quite small myself so if your dog is 70+ lbs and/or strong then you may be better finding a different sitter 😅 I am not very strong haha I'm currently between jobs so this allows me to be free basically whenever you need me to be! Plus, this allows me to better create a schedule around your needs :) I will do whatever is needed of me. If you need me for house sitting, I have my own activities to keep me occupied, so no worries about me being nosy :)
“Dogs love her. Can's ask for more. Always on time.”
“Sophie was great with Chef! Quickly responded to messages and gave Chef a great long walk even on a gloomy day. She was very detail oriented and gave great care to our big guy. Would love to have her spend time with Chef again.”
About: Hi! My name is Kat and I have fostered dogs over the last decade. My senior dog, Daisy, is a foster failure. I just fell in love with her chill personality. My puppy, Luna (my little lunatic), is another rescue! Both of my pups play well with others and would love to meet your loved one(s). I have cleaned up more pee, poop, and vomit than I thought I would over the last ten years! Your dog(s) will be in excellent care when hanging out with me. I'm not afraid to get my paws dirty. I'm currently in the midst of changing careers from non-profit marketing work to social work! I'm a full time student (again) and have major flexibility to take care of your loved ones! I live in a second-story apartment in Carytown with access to an unfenced backyard area that's great for quick potty breaks. For longer walks, I love exploring the walkable, dog-friendly streets of Carytown—it's one of my favorite ways to bond with pups! I'm also just a five-minute drive from Barker Field Dog Park, which is a fantastic space for safe, off-leash play if that's something your dog enjoys (with your permission, of course). At home, I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and loved, whether that means sticking to their usual routine, offering lots of snuggles, or making time for play. My two dogs are friendly and love spending time with other dogs, so if your pup is social, they’ll feel right at home.
“Elizabeth is amazing with sunny, our Pomeranian. She gets him up and out of bed for his morning walk, and he can be grumpy to get up in the mornings. He likes her and doesn't bark as much as when other people come through the door. She's attentive to detail and so helpful. I fractured my ankle and she's helped sunny get in the morning walks he needs. Thank you so much!”
“Avery is very sweet and attentive to Goldie. She can over early in the first walk to sit and slow Goldie to get comfortable with her. Loved all the photos and feedback about my dog.”
