7. Selena S.
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs my whole life (yorkies, labs, german shepherds) so I have a lot of experience with different breeds and their mannerisms. I love to play with animals and give endless belly rubs! I am a medical student and have varying ability. I’m free almost every day as I just watch lectures at home. I’m just not available during the times I have exams or rotations. 90% of the week I’m free though! I am a big lover of animals so if you have a needy/clingy cat or dog, I’m the perfect sitter for you!! I’m happy to vacuum up around litter boxes, handle their waste, walk/play. (:
8. Tanya K.
“Tanya has cared for my dog, Finn, many times. I trust her completely… actually, I trust few with my beloved dog but I totally trust Tanya. Tanya followed all instructions as well as went the extra mile providing excellent all around care. She walked him several times a day, made sure he had his “finicky” food and sent lots of pics to me throughout his stay. I will continue to use Tanya’s services whenever we need it. I would highly recommend Tanya for anyone who needs tender loving care for their pets. Gerry”
9. Ariana Y.
About: I have taken care and self trained dogs from small to large breeds. And I would love to take care of your pup while your away. I am always home on the weekend and home by 12 or sooner on the week day. Your pup is not going to be left alone. My partner works from home and is all in on helping make sure your fur baby has a happy safe time here. I have a fenced is yard. So we can play outside for a little bit plenty of water and a baby pool if they want to cool off.
10. Nicole B.
“Nicole did an outstanding job taking care of my cat while I was away! She was consistent in making sure his food, litter, and other necessities were well taken care of. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which assured me that everything was going smoothly. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and I could tell he had been in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely trust her with my cat again in the future!”
11. Cristina R.
“Cristina is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has grown up with dogs, cats, and birds her whole life and has extensive experience caring for them. I definitely recommend her for your next dog walk or pet boarding.”
12. Takima W.
“Kima has watched my sweetie poodle since she was 13 years old. She played with her all day until she was exhausted for bed time. She made sure she got her food on time and helped put her on a strict schedule for when my husband and I weren’t around. She communicated with Toffee as if she was an actual human being, and that pup listened to her as if she understood every word. Unfortunately, our sweet girl passed a year ago with Kima by her side. To have not been there with her was so heart wrenching but knowing she was not scared and surrounded by love gave us ease. Kima is the one for you and your family!”
13. Becky B.
About: I’ve trained serviced dogs and grew up around foster dogs and cats! I have done dog sitting for years during high school and college too. I’m in graduate school with a flexible schedule to take care of and love your pets throughout the day! I am home plenty during the day. I live in an apartment with a walking path around it to take your pets outside to potty and for a walk. There is plenty of room for a dog bed or crate if that is preferred.

“Loved working with Scott. We have a new puppy and he was super flexible with all of our last minute changes.”
15. Stephanie E.
“Stephanie has dog, cat and house sat for me multiple times! I would hire her all the time! She is very good at attention to detail to what your pets need. She will walk with them, play with them and just be around with them. She will listen to your requests and your pets and house will be in great condition when you get home.”
16. atziri g.
“I believe Atziri would be a wonderful dog walker because she is great with animals and has a few dog babies of her own! Also on her friends she volunteers at a dog shelter and spend time with the animals and make them feel loved!”
17. Tara & Trevor H.
“There is no one better to watch your pup than Tara. She goes above and beyond for her own two fur children, as well as any other dog that comes in her path. She offers all the right advice, and all the right love. Your pups will be able to play, relax, and enjoy some quality time with Finnley and Kiko. There is also a lovely dog park across the street that she uses daily and knows just about every dog there. Your pup is in great hands if you chose to stay with Tara, I know this from personal experience as she has watched my 8 month old lab quite a few times.”
