About: I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, from the smallest neonates to the largest of dogs! I am a college student studying biological sciences on a pre-med track. Outside of school, animals are my passion. I worked at a high volume emergency animal hospital for 3 years, and have previously worked in pet boarding & daycare! Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on the pets in my care, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. My routine is flexible and centered around their needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I keep things clean, stick to established routines, and provide regular updates with photos and notes. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or giving extra belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of my family.

“Thea is absolutely amazing! She gave me such peace of mind and was great with my mini doxie. My pup takes a little bit to warm up to strangers and loves to bark but Thea was so patient and so kind. Only took him one meeting to love her!! She’s very communicative and always sends lots of pictures and videos. She cares a lot about her clients, even put my pups jacket on him to make sure he wouldn’t be too cold without me asking her to do so. I booked 4 straight days for walks last minute and she was able to fit me in no problem. I could not have had a better experience and recommend her to anyone looking! Checks all the boxes and I can’t think of anything she didn’t do well 😊”

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them comes naturally to me. With years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between, and I understand how their needs can vary depending on their size and stage of life. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and of course plenty of playtime and affection. Pet sitting isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Im currently attending online school and I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in yard and big house with a big kennel if needed. I have a very friendly cat and cavalier King Charles spaniel however they can easily be separated from your pet if required!

About: Growing up around pets, I know how much we all care about these family members so I want to help you feel your most comfortable and confident that your pet will get the best care while you’re gone! I’ve dealt with medically complex pets, both long-term and short, so I am not timid about making sure animals get their necessary care while also keeping their comfort level in mind. I’m comfortable with the spectrum of personality, from lazy bones to high energy and I am looking forward to helping you out! I have a flexible schedule thanks to my contract work with local theaters, so am always available mornings and afternoons. My evening schedule fluctuates depending I offer open communication, so I can update you as much or as little as you’d like! I know that dogs not having their person can be stressful sometimes, so I want to balance that with as much stability as I can provide. My household functions on a morning/evening feeding schedule, but I know every household is different so I’m ready to learn your house’s system!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for nearly a decade. I grew up caring for my family dog Tootsie, who is now a senior and a three-legged sweetheart after multiple surgeries. From her puppy days to her senior care, I’ve learned patience, consistency, and how to give extra love to pups with special needs. I’ve also adopted my own dogs, Raffles and Biscuit, from a shelter and helped them transition into home life. They’re now crate-trained, socialized, and thriving. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule for potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Whether your pup needs mid-day exercise, regular attention, or a cozy place to nap, I’ll be there to make sure their routine is cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. Raffles and Biscuit (my pups) are well-socialized and happy to welcome new friends. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise with walks and park outings (with your approval). I’m comfortable with crates, senior care, and special routines, so your pup’s unique needs will always be respected. I treat every dog like my own, and you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while your pup is with me.

“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals, and being an animal lover has always been a big part of who I am! I grew up with a dog and two cats and now have a senior dog of my own. I understand the unique needs and personalities of both dogs and cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years. I've also spent much of my adult life volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals who need a little extra TLC or a break from shelter life. I'm experienced in all aspects of pet care, from walks, playtime, and feeding to providing extra patience and attention when needed. I've cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. I'll treat your pet like one of my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and showered with attention while you're away! I work from home and have a job where I can make my own schedule so it's easy for me to do dog walks or drop-in visits as needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! On walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings, make sure dogs are securely leashed, and let them enjoy their time outside at a pace that’s comfortable for them. If your dog has a favorite walking route or a routine they’re used to, I’m more than happy to stick with it! For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable having someone new in their space. I also know that every pet has their own personality, and some days they may want lots of playtime while other days they just want some company and cuddles. I’m happy to follow their lead and give them whatever love, attention, and care they need!

Absolutely outstanding Rover sitter! Nick is incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely dog-smart. He took the time to understand my dog, were thoughtful about his individual needs and personality, and handled everything with an impressive level of care and understanding. I really appreciate his patience and willingness to work with him, and it was clear that he truly care about dogs—not just the job. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced with dogs.
