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.

I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.

About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.

About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 2 years and truly love caring for animals. Along with my experience providing overnight care, I currently work as a veterinary assistant, where I care for both dogs and cats in a professional setting. Working in vet medicine has helped me become comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including senior pets and anxious animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, so I fit pet care around my work schedule. I’m available on weekends and some Thursdays, which I’ve listed in my availability. I make sure to plan ahead so I can be consistent and give pets proper care and attention when I’m with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get walks and bathroom breaks, and receive plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs since kindergarten. I am extremely patient and love dogs more than humans sometimes, I haven’t met a dog that didn’t love me :) I also have owned two senior dogs and a new puppy, so I am well versed on handling different energy levels in dogs. I live in an apartment that has gated yards and a park that is 5 minutes away. I also have a crate if the dog needs one along with a one year old yorkie that is very friendly and energetic. If the dog is reactive and not great around other dogs, I have a family member that I can stay with while your dog is in my possession that is dog free and has a gated front yard the dog can play in. I am currently working part time during the late evenings. The best time for drop offs/pick ups would be in the early morning and afternoon 6am-3pm on Mondays and Thursdays. I am typically off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, so pick ups/drop offs work for whenever those days. Fridays and Saturday’s I work in the night time, so pick up/drop offs are ideal anytime before 7pm :) Any other time discrepancies can worked out to accommodate your plans. I take pet care extremely seriously. Each day consists of multiple walks along with play time either in my own home or the dog park and with dog enrichment. Enrichment is crucial because it stimulates a dogs brain and provides entertainment for a while. Dog parks are also essential because it helps the dog interact and play with other dogs

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

Nima did a fantastic job walking our Oli and I highly recommend her. She is punctual, professional, and extremely loving to all of our pets! Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking. She was also extremely patient when our Oli was being stubborn on walks or potty breaks, which we greatly appreciated, especially the photos of their walks when he was serving serious diva face! 😂 We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!

I had Taylor come walk our dog, Lola, and from the moment they met, Lola gravitated toward her. She immediately felt Taylor’s calm, kind energy , she’s soft-spoken, gentle, and very easy-going. By the time Taylor left, Lola was giving her hugs and kisses! It went so well that I booked her again the very next day for an earlier walk. Taylor was on time, super communicative, and Lola actually cried with excitement when she saw her again. We’re so happy to have potentially found our go-to dog walker!
