“Eleanor did an amazing job taking care of our cat Jax that is facing kidney issues. Jax requires multiple oral medicines as well as an IV injection daily, neither of which he is a fan of, but Eleanor was able to swaddle him, administer his medicines, and make it as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend.”

“Ariana was so sweet and responsive. She took great care of our big sweet boy. He took some pictures too which is nice. We will definitely keep using Ariana for walking Rio. Thank you so much!”

About: As a lifelong animal person, I’ve provided dependable care for many dogs of friends and family over the past several years. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering lots of love, and opening my home for safe and comfortable stays. I work part-time Monday through Thursday, so I can provide care in the mornings and evenings, with a few hours away mid-day for work. I’m fully available Friday through Sunday for all-day care and walks. I have a fenced-in backyard and a pool for dogs who love to swim. Your pup will also have a built-in playmate with my dog who is very friendly. Plus, I’m right next to walking trails that are perfect for daily walks.
“Alex is amazing and I feel very lucky to have her care for my cat. My cat really enjoys being with her and always looks happy in the photos and videos she sends. She gives thoughtful updates after every visit and keeps me reassured when I am away. She is easy to talk to and always responsive. I would happily recommend Alex and will absolutely book with her again.”

“Margaret is great to work with. She takes great care of our kitties when we are away, and they seem well-adjusted and appropriately pampered when we get back home! We really appreciate her cat-sitting finesse!”

“Ciana did a fantastic job to care for our cats while we were away. She was always prompt each day, spent time to bond with the cats, and kept things tidy around the house and sent us pictures each day. 5 stars!”
About: I grew up with at least one big dog always in the house. I’m very comfortable with working with multiple dogs and dogs of all sizes. But, I also have a lot of experience with different pets. I have a lot of experience taking care of my own senior cat and will happily take care of your cat. I also have some experience with rodents and birds. Whatever you need Imm happy to provide. I am currently going to college. If your home is nearby I can stop by between classes but my classes go no later than 3:30. I’ll listen to your wants and needs. I can crate dogs if that’s your preference and work with what you need. Each pet’s needs are different and the owner knows best.
About: Hi there! I have experience working with young puppies, adult dogs, and elderly friends. I’ve worked with both high-energy and low-energy dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs with mobility issues. I am so excited to meet your pup and help you out in the process! As a certified dog handler with my local shelter, I’ve received training for safe handling practices, especially with dogs that are new to me. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands. My schedule varies week to week based on my full-time job’s schedule, so please check my availability for available dates and times. I’ll keep it up to date with my work schedule. You can rest assured that I will take the very best care of your pup. I take safety very seriously and will do whatever you prefer for your pet’s needs and comfortability.
About: This Kat loves animals 🐾 I truly love seeing animals happy—whether they’re running, playing, or simply feeling safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved. I have hands-on experience working in both a veterinary office and a doggie daycare, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and attentive care. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. If your pet stays with me, I focus on helping them feel secure and at ease—like they’re right at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’m also vegan and deeply value compassion for all animals, which naturally carries into how I care for the pets I work with. Their well-being, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy because of the connection and joy animals bring. I know how important your pet is to you, and I take that trust seriously. I am working part time and would love to fit some pet care into my schedule. My job is very flexible and I have at least 20 hours to devote to pet care if not more I have a fenced yard and a small terrier mix that loves company or a possible playmate. I am excited to provide a safe haven for your furry friend
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and have walked dogs and pet sat through high school and college. I am excited to meet your pups! I am home for the summer before I start a full-time job. I have tons of dog walking availability between studying for the LSAT and I am super flexible! I am happy to feed, walk, crate, and play with your pups while you’re away. I love long walks and can follow any directions you leave me.

“Joe has been such a huge help during my internship! My mind is at ease during the work day knowing my puppy Dolly is in his care! He’s been so good with her, plays with her, feeds her and walks her! He surely gets her puppy energy out. He’s very good with dogs, and I booked him again for July. Very trustworthy, responsive, and eager to help!”
“Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for my entire life which has given me many skills that I now share with other dog owners. I am very comfortable with walks, playtime, and routines for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love exercising and going on long walks, so I can accommodate for any walking needs. I will be sure to give your dog the attention they need while keeping owners updated with pictures so you know that your dog is having a safe and fun time! I am a college student home for the summer, so I am available all day during the week to care for and/or walk your pup! As a lifelong dog owner, I will be sure to treat your dog and your space with the same respect and care that I would my own.
