“I highly recommend Katrina. She took very good care care of our two cats, was very professional throughout the process, and sent updates so we knew how they were doing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely book her again!”

About: I’ve cared for puppies and elderly dogs. I have comforted, cleaned and cared for dogs of all sizes. I loved taking my family dogs to the dog park or trail. I currently work part time so I can take your dog to their favorite place. Also care for your dog if they need company during a rainy or noisy day (fireworks). IYKYK I start by scanning the premises to take preventative measures for any hazards. I will also make sure the dog is within my sight at all times.

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

About: While lions are my favorite animals, dogs and cats are close seconds hahahah! I love dogs, I’ve handled dogs and dealt with dogs for the better part of my life. I recently got a puppy of my own, his name is Milton and he is the best thing that has happened to me. I just love him so much. The puppy stage is hard but it’s taught me to be resilient, patient and understanding of the babies growing in our care. I am currently in school, completing my last semester of my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. I have school three days a week and have four days off. I work part time in the hospital two-three days a week in the mornings as a Newborn Hearing Screening Technician for a couple of hours. The rest of the time is dedicated to doggo! Safety is always my primary concern. I always make sure to be watching my fur baby and to keep harmful things up and out of his way. I have a smaller puppy and I live in an apartment, but my puppy is never shy to let me know when he wants to go out. So, we gather his toys and take him to the huge park behind our apartment complex. It’s gated and locked in, so only residents can get in there and he enjoys running around and frolicking in the grass. Everyone is super polite and friendly with him in our complex and I make sure to keep him leashed until it’s safe for him to run around to his hearts desires.

About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years. I currently own multiple dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers and French Bulldogs, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone patient and dependable to check in while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention to give you peace of mind. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong pullers, and multi-dog households. My goal is to make every walk and every visit safe, fun, and stress-free while giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. I can accommodate morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, food if requested, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Veronica was awesome once again! Our kitties love her and she goes above and beyond every time. Gives the cats attention and play when they come out, keeps the cat areas of the house very clean, administers their meds. Great communication and photos, and even was able to keep our cats taken care of with an injury this time. Highly recommend her and will be looking for her again next time our kitties need some love while we are out of town.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs! Being a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your fur baby. I’m patient, loving, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible outside of my morning classes. I’m available during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the service needed. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to make pet care a part of my weekly routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care. I also believe communication is important, so I’m always happy to send updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while your pet is in my care.

About: I am a professional ballerina transitioning out of her career into the next and looking for a fulfilling job in the meantime! I love animals of all kinds and have experience caring for all different types of dogs and cats, as well as a multitude of exotic animals! I am extremely precise and detail oriented and will always take the utmost care with your beloved pets. Many of my side jobs throughout my ballet career have been caretaking of some sort (nanny, gardener), and I would love to transfer those skills into pet-sitting! I’m currently transitioning careers and looking to start college in January, so I am very flexible. I left a high pressure nannying job in June and am happy to work with your schedule. I am very respectful in your space. I have been a nanny for 3 years and have traveled with the family, stayed at their house often, and am very considerate in your home. I will let the pet lead and wherever they seem most comfortable is where I will be, whether it is their favorite spot next to the couch, or the kitchen chair. I am mindful of any rules or preferences you have, and am focused solely on the animals comfort!

About: I have hands‑on experience caring for dogs both as an owner and through my work at a pet daycare. I’m skilled in providing daily essentials such as feeding, fresh water, medication administration, and structured walks. I also support general training by reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and creating a positive, engaging environment. My calm, reliable approach helps dogs feel secure, stimulated, and well‑cared‑for in any setting. I build their care into the natural rhythm of my day. Before school, I handle feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or check‑in, and after work I have plenty of time for exercise, training, and attention. Weekends give me longer stretches for enrichment and bonding, so they get steady care throughout the week. I keep pets safe by maintaining a clean, secure environment and following their specific routines and care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by sticking to familiar rules and daily habits. In my own home, I provide supervised play, proper enrichment, and a calm atmosphere so pets feel relaxed and well‑cared‑for.

Irisdelie was so good with me and my cat! Would definitely book with her again and I feel more comfortable with the idea of traveling knowing she is an option. She was so professional, communicative, accommodating, respectful, kind, and she made me laugh with her visit summaries. She did everything I asked for and put in effort to make my cat comfortable. My cat eventually felt very comfortable and affectionate with her, which is great because she is afraid of strangers. Irisdelie also met up with me beforehand and spent over an hour getting to know what I needed and during my trip she took lots of great pics! Thank you so much Irisdelie, it was a pleasure! :)
