About: Pets have always been part of my life. I've had dogs, cats, goldfish, betta fish, hamsters, bunnies, and chinchillas. Currently in my care are the adorable bunny brother-and-sister duo I call the Wonder Twins, a senior Staffie mix who doesn’t like going down the shore so we’re weekend buddies, and Sassafrass, the “fraidy" cat. Each of these animals has its own rhythm and needs, and I've learned to pay close attention to what makes each one comfortable, whether that's a quiet room, a clean habitat, or a gentle, familiar routine. Since I'm retired, my days have a lot of natural flexibility built in. I can offer morning, midday, and evening visits throughout the week, not just squeezed-in slots around a nine-to-five. Pet care isn't something I fit around my life. It's become one of the things I structure my life around, alongside my own dog, Mojo. All of my care happens in your home, not mine. I come to you for dog walks and feeding visits, so your pet stays in their own familiar space with their own food, bed, and routine. For dogs, that means a walk at their pace around your neighborhood. For cats and smaller pets, it means fresh food and water, litter box or habitat cleaning, and some quiet one-on-one attention. At this time, I don't board pets in my own home. Keeping care in your space is part of what keeps things low-stress for your pet and simple for you.

“I was hesitant to use a new dog walker, but my experience with Natalie was very assuring and she was fantastic with my dog King! She was friendly, always on time for the walks, professional and very responsible. I feel so relieved now that I found another great Dog Walker. I highly recommend Natalie and look forward to using her in the future.”

“Janice was absolutely amazing! It was my first time needing a pet sitter and I was a bit nervous but thanks to Janice I was actually able to enjoy my vacation. She is very kind and you can tell she loves animals, she treated my babies as her own and went above and beyond!! I will definitely be using her again in the future. I cannot stress enough how amazing she is.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Throughout the years I’ve had the privilege of caring for four wonderful dogs who became much more than pets; they become my best friends and part of my family. They taught me so much about unconditional love, patience and responsibility and the special bond she shared with our furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals in general, getting to know their personalities and understanding their needs and making them feel happy, safe and love will be my priority. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else’s care requires trust. I want you to feel confident that your best friend will be receiving my full attention, patience and genuine care. I’m currently available only the weekends Saturdays and Sundays with full time availability. Whether you are looking for someone to take your dog on a hike, or enjoy a long walk, provide drop in visits of care of your furry friend while you are traveling over the weekends, I’d be happy to help. I will always 100% follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, water walks, play time, medication routines and any specific needs or preferences. I’m very strict when it comes to your dogs or cats safety, it will be my priority. For this reason I believe communication is essential I love providing updates, pictures, or calls with the owners so they can enjoy their time away knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Izzi was great house sitting our two cats. One of which is a picky senior kitty. They sent pictures and responded quickly and thoroughly, as well as left our place clean. Would highly recommend Izzi :)”

“Nicole was great! She was incredibly responsive and took such good care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and we could tell she genuinely cared about our cats. We would absolutely book her again!”

“Jaquette was great and she followed instructions for the care of my cat. I could relax while I was away because I knew my cat would be well cared for. Thank you Jaquette. 🐈”

Hours are as follows unless otherwise noted in my calendar Mo-Fr: available after 5PM Sa-Su: all day availability ⭐️ I work in the insurance industry so risk is always on my mind (maybe a little too much) so safety is a top priority. ⭐️ All personal information is kept confidential and is never shared with anyone outside of the platform.

“Right from the very first message interaction, Mimi made me feel assured, confident and so happy we found her to take care of our two adorable cats. They hadn’t been left alone overnight for a few years so we decided to opt for housesitting and we couldn’t be more pleased! Mimi came over for an introductory meeting and both cats took to her right away! Her gentle and caring manner comes across immediately and our usually skittish cats felt safe and right at home with her. We sat talking about their routines while they rubbed up against her leg and purred loudly while she pet them! Mimi is thorough in her preparation, careful in reviewing and following instructions and so thoughtful. Our older cat takes a little CBD treat each night and Mimi easily got him to take it so that both he and our other cat were just calm and peaceful when we arrived home. Thankfully our cats don’t require any medication, but I know if they did she would deftly and properly administer it with care. Mimi also took care of our home as if it was her own! Our house was left in perfect condition! Throughout her stay, Mimi offered her well wishes that we have the best trip ever and she made sure we did because she provided updates and photos so we felt confident and informed. And those photos! You could just tell from the way the kitties were curled up waiting for their belly rubs that they had the best time ever! Mimi is now our go-to cat sitter and we began lining up next stays even before this trip was done! She’s simply the best! On a personal note, I’m so happy to have met this wonderful woman who radiates joy and sincerity. She’s truly a blessing, a genuinely caring person and we are so grateful she’s a part of our lives! We love Mimi and we know if you book her you will too!”

“Paige did a great job checking in on our two cats while we were away. She has awesome energy, is super polite, and was very easy to work with. She sent good updates and clearly cares a lot about animals. Definitely glad we booked with her!”

“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”

About: Since childhood, I’ve grown up with pets and continue to be in awe of their unconditional love. I am known to be a warm and friendly person, who is honest and responsible. My friends, often count on me to take care of their fur babies because they trust me to do the right thing. The best part is - I only care for one pet at a time. That way, I am able to give all my attention to your fur baby, whether it is for a few hrs or for days, when you are away. Fun fact - more often that not, I will remember the pet’s name vs the pet parent’s name :) I am home most weekends and on holidays, which is when you may need a break! During weekdays, once I am back home from work around 5pm, I am available for a few hours to care for your baby. I also board or dog sit only one pet at a time, which means your pet gets all my attention and I get to give the love and care your baby deserves. I reside in a pet friendly community surrounded by parks and open spaces. If your pet likes to go on long walks, or likes belly rubs or just wants to cuddle, then we’re a match made in Heaven. Disclaimer - Don’t blame me if your pet starts liking me more :) lol

About: I have been a dog walker and pet sitter for a year so far! I've also had dogs ever since I was a kid and have had cats the last few years. People have entrusted me to stay in their homes to take care of their pets and also do daily visits and walks! Currently for me I have been working with animals as my main job while I have the time to do it and figure out more permanent work plans. I will do daily visits at my clients homes and can spend time playing or taking them on walks. I can also do overnights so they won't be alone! Since I have pets of my own at home I won't be able to care for them there.

About: ***I recently lost my soul dog, Ace ,of 17 years, so currently there are no other animals in my home. Please note: I go by Liora as a nickname in my day to day, but Emma is my legal name, hence why you’ll see both names in the reviews. I have always been an avid animal lover, but dogs are my favorite! In middle school I would go around door to door asking my neighbors that had dogs if I could walk them, in high school and college I would volunteer at animals shelters every weekend. I recently lost my soul dog of 17 years, Ace. I had him since he was 8 weeks old, and trained him with all the commands as well as potty training. I miss him dearly, but that being said - I can handle taking care of puppies, adults, and senior dogs alike, and am comfortable administering medication when needed. I work from home, so your pet will always have a buddy throughout the day and human interaction, and will rarely be alone. Evening and weekends will be reserved for parks and lots of play time! I have a small back yard space and a few great parks nearby just a few minutes away from my apartment. I can also crate your dog if needed / if they prefer. I also have cameras set up at home should I need to step out, they will always be monitored.

“Kathy kindly accomodated my last minute request. She took lovely pictures of the dogs, and left me a very detailed description of what she did for them. The dogs obviously liked her too. I would definitely use her services again!”
