About: I’m definitely an animal lover. I studied Animal Biology in College, I am a Wildlife Biologist, and dogs are my all time favorite animal. My wife Tasha also studied Health Sciences. I workout daily so your pet will definitely get their proper amount of exercise. If your dog does not like small children then our home is not the right place for you. Our schedules allow us to spend most of our day around the house. We are available to sit Mon-Sun but pick-up/drop-off times on Sundays will have limited availability because we attend church regularly. We also have a 10 year old a 3 year old a 2 year old and a 1 year old so if your dog loves kids they’ll fit right in. If you’re a first time user or you know someone who is a first time user try my code on my profile and save $20. We have 4 small children so we spend a lot of time around the house. My wife also works from home 75% of the time. I have a fenced in yard and a playful labradoodle to keep your fur babies company. There are also other very friendly pups on our street.

“Thank you for taking time from your holiday to give patches some love”

“Roxy was responsive, arrived as scheduled, and checked on our pets as requested. I also appreciate Roxy bringing in our mail packages that were left at the door. Thank you!”

About: Since the age of 12, I've harbored a deep passion for caring for dogs. My journey began with my beloved Cane Corso Mastiff named Pacquiao, who was my faithful companion for five wonderful years until he passed away from Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Though I haven't had a dog of my own since Pacquiao, I've found solace and joy in pet sitting for friends and family, helping to fill the void until I'm ready to welcome another furry friend into my home. Taking walks and frequenting dog parks are among my favorite pastimes, allowing me to nurture my love for these amazing animals while staying active and engaged in their well-being. During my undergraduate years, I worked as a nanny for a family that had both a cat and an English bulldog. Through this experience, I not only cared for the children but also formed a bond with their pets. Spending time with the cat, I discovered a newfound appreciation for feline companionship and the calming presence they bring to a home. Alongside my love for dogs, this experience broadened my understanding of and affection for various animals. It further solidified my commitment to providing compassionate care to pets, whether it be through walks, playtime, or simply enjoying their company. As an aviation teacher and instructor, my schedule offers flexibility, ensuring your fur baby receives exceptional care. Living just 20 minutes from my workplace means your pet will enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In rare instances where I may be unavailable for a scheduled potty break, drop-off, or pickup, rest assured that my retired father, who lives just around the corner, is eager to lend a helping hand. Additionally, I'm available for weekends and major holidays, providing continuous care whenever you need it With a fenced yard and a location only 5 minutes away from the Hyde Park neighborhood, known for its abundance of dog-friendly parks, your pet will have ample opportunities for exercise and play. I am dedicated to maintaining cleanliness by regularly tending to litter boxes, cages, and any other pet areas. Additionally, I prioritize your pet's well-being by closely monitoring their behavior and health, promptly addressing any signs of distress or illness.

“I have one wire fox terrier and one boxer (he's 100 pounds) and crystal stayed with them an entire month and everyday I got pictures, updates, and so my babies having a GREAT TIME! Crystal also took care of my plants, house dusting, and brought in all my mail. It pained me when I moved from the city, because after six months I have not been able to find someone as good as Crystal. You can 100% trust her with your fur babies!!”

“Jorinee is a great person to be around and definitely trust with your furry pets! I have met Jorinee through volunteering at the animal shelter. She is very caring and hands every pup and kitty with gentle hands. She helps to clean and walk every pup atleast once to twice a day. Every pup loved going out with her to play or walk. Do not hesitate to ask jorinee for care for your fur babies”

“Emily has been stopping in to feed and play with our puppy a couple days a week for the past few months, and we were so lucky to find her. She is flexible, responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and takes great care of our pup. She has given us pointers on stopping bad behavior and has even brought him toys. We are very comfortable leaving him alone during the day knowing she's going to stop by to give him the attention he needs. I cannot say enough good things about her.”

“Shantell does a great job taking care of my fur baby. He feels comfortable around her and responds well.”

About: I have been a dog owner since childhood and have experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am currently Mom to a Boxer Dane mix; as such, any boarding MUST have a meet-up first to ensure there is no hostility. My oldest dog is nearing 7 or 8, and I am familiar with diet-sensitive and senior dogs. I am currently unemployed - as such, I can accommodate most requests! I love all breeds of dog, and have no real preferences! I am willing to house sit, as well as care for other animals (cats, etc). Non-local requests will be accepted on a case by case basis (as I rely on public transit). I am looking forward to loving on your fur babies!

About: I grew up on a ranch with 9 dogs (5 of them chihuahuas 😍), chickens, 4 horses, 2 chinchillas, 2 Guinea pigs, & the list goes on, I’ve always loved animals! During my time in the United States Navy I would dog sit for friends if their ship went out to sea, or on deployment and care for their babies for months❤️ I currently have two dogs with my husband, a cockapoo and German shepherd. Both beautifully trained/behaved and spoiled, I take the upmost care of my animals and won’t do anything less for your babies ❤️ animals have pure hearts and love so much they deserve the best ❤️ I have training experience in that sense, and I’m excited to meet your pups! I treat all animals as my own and give them all the love and attention possible! Im currently going to school full time and have plenty of time to go hang out with your pups ! Tuesday and Thursday mornings are the only days my schedule won’t allow! (Class) I am what they call…. A helicopter mom lol. I will always be very attentive to your baby and take care of them the same way I do for mine. I stand by giving dogs REAL, natural treats and food💕 No one wants to eat nasty fake stuff all the time !! Your babies will have a fun, yummy day with me and a special dinner if they stay long enough ! ☺️

“Kelera has been walking and checking in on Zoey and Zaya twice a week now. She is punctual, friendly, and caring for my fur babies. If you are looking for someone reliable and someone who will treat your fur babies as their own-then look no further and book with Kelera.”

“Darcelle was great and my cats loved having her drop by to check on them. I appreciated that she played with them and cleaned up the food dishes. I recommend her and plan to call on her again when I can't be home.”

About: Since I was a kid, I knew that I was born to take care of fur babies. I absolutely love them. They are the best I used to always play like I was a vet and till this day That’s exactly what I want to do with my life. They deserve the world, I love to help the strays an any way I can. Whether that’s sheltering them for a day or two, getting them vaccinated, taking them to a pet facility and etc. I don’t like seeing animals in need every fur baby needs they own human. Don’t you think I’m currently working part-time but I’m looking to take care of the fur babies and help out full time. Anytime. I can even do multiple days I have an puppy and now one cat due to my other passing, I clean my cats litter four times a day, depending on smell, and how full it is, and I walk my puppy 5 times a day because she has an weak bladder. Hygiene and health means everything.
