About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and I’ve gained hands‑on experience with cats and dogs. (XS-XL) During my two years at the SPCA, I learned how to work confidently with dogs of all temperaments—whether they’re shy, energetic, anxious, senior, or dealing with reactivity or resource guarding. I’m patient, understanding, and always mindful of boundaries. I’ve helped train puppies, adults, and seniors in basic commands, and I’m comfortable administering medications and keeping animals on a steady routine. I’m currently available at any time of day, including weekends, and I can accommodate night‑shift care when needed. I also offer flexible pet‑sitting options, whether you need care for a few full days and nights or extended stays ranging from one week up to one month. I follow any schedule already in place at a client’s home—including feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, and medication administration—to help eliminate unnecessary stress for your pets. I’m also able to provide longer walks (30+ minutes), engaging play sessions such as fetch, tug, snuffle‑mat activities, and treat‑puzzle enrichment, along with plenty of cuddle time for pets who enjoy affection.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and got my first dog at 10 years old. Caring for him taught me responsibility, patience, and the deep bond we share with our pets. I have over 8 years of experience caring for senior dogs and 5+ years providing dog sitting services for private clients. Many families trust me repeatedly with their pets because I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs — from playful pups who love walks and attention to more relaxed dogs who just want companionship and cuddles. Small and medium dogs have mostly been under my care and only some larger breeds. My goal is always to keep your dog happy, safe, and stress-free while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is, especially for senior dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I know peace of mind matters when you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help. Creating a calm, loving environment is very important to me, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home on my own time so I am available pretty much daily unless I have other clients in my schedule. Requests in advance are very much appreciated. Services in your home will be as the you request, I aim to please you and your pet! I live in a tiny home that shares the fenced in backyard with my in laws who have an older toy poodle, a Chorkie and a calico cat who I will keep separate from your pet if you’re looking for daycare and overnight stays. My home is small so overnight and day cares are limited for very large dogs.

“Busara was a delight! She gave a lot of feedback on her time with Jasper. Jasper seemed to enjoy having her here. I’d definitely ask her to come another time!”

“Luie was fantastic. It was our first time using anyone from Rover but we are so happy we got Luie. Our dog is a sweetheart but is also incredibly stubborn especially when her schedule is thrown off and her pack is missing. He did great with her while we were gone. He sent lots of pictures and videos showing how happy she was. He also was very patient and calm despite a blizzard blowing through the day before we were coming back. He made sure he would be able to extend his time with our pup just in case. Luckily we were still able to come back as scheduled. Despite the snow he made sure to shovel out space and still took our dog out for walks. We are so grateful for Luie being dependable and allowing us to step away for our vacation. We look forward to using him again in the future.”

“Chelsea was wonderful, we booked her last minute after a family member became ill and could not sit our dog, Kenzie. She stayed over night and sent pictures and updates. I felt very confident leaving our home and dog in her care. Will definitely use her again.”

About: My wife and I love being with our dogs, we have 3 adopted dogs and 1 dog we received as a newborn puppy, and love meeting other owners and their pets. We take our dogs for walks at our lovely park across the street or to the dog park to let them run free with the other dogs. We also have a 5 acre yard for any animal to do what they please. We take our dogs on hikes on the red rock trails, have lots of toys for them to play with, spoil them with the right amount of dog treats. We have a specialized dog food brand we use and cook our dogs fresh meat for them to eat, they don't seem to mind.
