About: I grew up in a home filled with a menagerie 2 cats, 2 dogs(one a tripod), a bird, and 2 rabbits that became many! I pursued pet-sitting after college and found my heart. Pet-sitting has allowed me to form close bonds with animals and their owners. I have been pet-sitting for over 25 years and love every minute! My experience shines with elderly pets that require extra care like medications, injections, and even bathing. I am also always up for a good hike with the younger pup(s) and love cats too! My experience with administering medications, and injections comes from first aid training and years of experience on the job. I am an active person and find that pet-sitting keeps me moving! My schedule is extremely flexible and I can fit in most requests ASAP. I follow all instructions and directions from pet parents while pet sitting or dog walking and will make adjustments only if I feel it's in the pet's best interest and only after speaking to the pet parent.
“Roger absolutely loves spending time with Ian and Valerie! They really go the extra mile to make him feel cared for, loved, and comfortable. Would definitely recommend booking with them!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was 7. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages of my friends, family, and neighbors. I've dog-sat for several days, took them for walks, gave them baths, fed them, and, of course, played with them. I love dogs and I'd be honored to take care of your furry little friend! This job fits perfectly with my schedule, as I am a college graduate currently serving as a Crisis Counselor at Crisis Text Line and I’m looking for work in the mental health field. In the meantime, I enjoy caring for animals. I have my own dog at my home, so I will not be having any clients’ dogs in my home. However, I’m more than happy to feed, walk, bathe, brush, play with, and shower your furry little friend with love and affection! :)

I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs and make sure they feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I'm currently studying for the MCAT and seeking part-time work that offers a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable pet care. I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the week. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I'm mindful of routines, clean up thoroughly, and always prioritize the pet’s comfort and safety. Whether I’m in my client’s home or welcoming a pet into mine, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment so both pets and owners can feel at ease.
