About: Hi! I’m Nicole, a lifelong animal lover and professional belly-rub provider. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and have also cared for bunnies, fish, and birds, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I've volunteered at animal shelters and pet sat for family friends, giving me experience with everything from energetic zoomie enthusiasts to professional couch potatoes. I offer walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of dog-friendly walking areas nearby, giving pets lots of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Before caring for your pet, I'd love to learn about their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions. The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I offer free local pick up within 3 miles! Located in Arlington ,reach out for more details. :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Since most of my classes are online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent check-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day.

About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Jason really helped me because the booking was last minute due to a funeral. Thanks Jason! Jason has a great home and Roxi inspected every inch of it. She had several walks during the day and Jason kept me up to date with cute photos. Was very much a relief to leave Roxi in such capable hands! Would definitely try and book with Jason again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for a majority of my life. My friends and extended family rely on me when they go out of town. My family and I will always pick up (and house) any stray/lost dogs we see so I have experience with all types of dogs and breeds. Weekdays work best for me. My schedule is quite flexible. I deal with animals in my everyday life and i’m more than happy to meet more! I have one friendly cat and one energetic dog, with a big and spacious back yard for them. I myself am energetic so I can match any pet’s energy.

About: I have over 6 years of pet sitting experience, starting in high school and continuing through college. I’ve cared for cats of all sizes and temperaments, as well as dogs, including my own senior dog. My experience includes administering medication to both dogs and cats, and providing care for several older pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all needs, from delicate lovebirds to energetic hound dogs, and always provide patient, reliable, and loving care. I’m currently a student with remote options, so sitting and walking fits perfectly in my routine! I’m very flexible and can adjust to your schedule. I care for pets in their own home by sticking closely to their routine and making sure they feel comfortable, especially seniors or pets needing medication. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality, whether that means giving extra patience, playtime, or quiet companionship.
