About: Hi there, my name is Tenzin, and I’d love to take care of your dog. I genuinely enjoy long walks, so when you book with me, your dog will feel like they’re on a little vacation. I live near two large parks that offer the perfect playground, plenty of space to explore, and great opportunities for social interaction. I grew up with four dogs, a Dalmatian, a Pug, a German Shepherd, and a Tibetan Spaniel, so I have hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. During that time, I was also an avid fan of The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, which helped me develop a strong understanding of dog behavior and best practices for handling and care. Lastly, communication is very important to me. I always provide updates and make sure you feel confident and at ease knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home as a web developer, so your dog will always have company. Since I spend long hours at a screen, I really enjoy getting outside for long walks, and your dog will definitely get to enjoy those with me too. From my experience with many dogs, I’m good at reading their body language and understanding what they need. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care, and my condo is fully dog-proofed and safe.

I have years worth of experience with pup walks, runs, hikes, dog parks, etc. I would love to do the same for your dog, even if it's just watching or going for a walk around the city!

I’m a nutritionist and soccer coach. I love being outside and dog walking, fits into my routine. When going to a clients homes, I’m super particular about making sure doors and fences are closed. As a husky owner (aka escape artists) I know how important it is to trust that whoever is watching your pup keeps a close eye on them! Leashes are carefully secured before walking. Temperature and weather is accounted for.

“When our normal boarding spot filled up for the holidays, we were rushing to figure out a sitting situation for Bella. Bella can be aggressive towards other dogs, so we were hesitant to leave her with someone new, however Winn seemed like the best sitter we could have asked for. Winn responded promptly, and we set up a time to meet beforehand; the whole thing effortless. Within seconds, Bella found a tennis ball and was sitting by Winn's side for pets. Winn sent us several photos during his time watching Bella, and it was clear that she was having a great doggie vacation! We'll be sure to reach out if we ever need a sitter again!”

“Dana and Nia were wonderful sitters for our 6 month old puppy. She was meant to stay with them for 5 days and go to a friend of mines house for the rest of my trip but she got sick on her first day with my friend. Dana and Nia happily took her back the next day and got her back to normal health. They knew exactly how to handle the situation and were very chill about it. Rosie had a great time with them, in their yard and on adventures outside of their house. 100% recommend Dana and Nia!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.”
