Good afternoon all, our 14 week old puppy Ollie is looking to meet some other friendly dogs in the building to build his social skills. Due to his age he can only play with those who are fully vaccinated, but he would love to find a time to make a new friend

😺 Hello neighbors! We're looking for a cat sitter to help care for our two cats--they're incredibly sweet, social, and have 🐶-like personalities. We'd love support with feeding and playtime a few times over the next few weeks, plus the occasional litter box change (we have a litter robot, so it's easy!). If you're interested or know someone who might be, please let us know. Many thanks in advance! 😃

Does anyone have a yoga ball I could borrow for a few days? Full transparency it’s for teaching a dog to push it around (he won’t be on top of it). I’d return it cleaner than I got it!!

Hi Jasmine. If you need a small one, I think I have one that you could keep. It is the size used in barre and Pilates classes.
