About: I got my first dog when I was 18 years old. She was the sweetest pup I have ever met! Since then dogs have become an irreplaceable part of my life. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs & few dogs with behavioral needs. I have fostered dogs through the years and learnt how meaningful this experience can be. My last foster was a young adult who was a year old. Open to pets all day subjected to advance notice/short notice. I'm mostly home so I can be flexible with your routine and needs. A small heads up is always appreciated. I live in an apartment complex which is 5 mins away from 2 dog parks. I'll take your dog for daily exercise and morning, afternoon and evening. I live in a neighborhood which has lots of space to walk for regular/short walks. I have a 7 year old mild tempered female dog who will provide excellent care and comfort while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate.

Jenning is amazing! From the time I reached out she was responsive and quickly accepted my request for last minute daycare. She was so patient and kind when we arrived and took my pup out on a walk right after I left and sent a photo of him within the first 30 minutes. I think I had more seperation anxiety thamy dog. When I checked in she responded promptly, assured me he was doing great, and shared pictures from their afternoon hike. I will definitely reach out to her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take excellent care of your fur baby!

Super thankful for Olivia! We’re so happy we found her! It’s been a challenging journey to find the doggy day care for our 11 week pup. When we finally found Olivia, she allowed us to have an informal interview with her which we were super thankful for because for some reason some sitters on here finds that offensive (?). She welcomed us into her gorgeous home and

Cindi is phenomenal with Finn! He absolutely loves going to her house and playing with all the other pups. She spends time to personally to get to know you and your pup. Makes you feel comfortable leaving your pet there. He has become more social and well-behaved for a new puppy. happy to have found her and honestly Finn never wants to leave haha!

About: Hi there! 👋 I'm Sarah, and I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. As a responsible and experienced pet owner, dog walker, and pet sitter with over 10 years of experience, I understand the unique needs of every animal. My background includes several years working at a veterinary clinic, giving me valuable insight into animal health and well-being. I've even volunteered alongside veterinarians in rural Southeast Asia, assisting with vaccination drives for stray dogs and offering free veterinary care to families. You can trust that your furry friends are in loving and capable hands with me. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pets, whether it's a brisk walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. Contact me today to discuss your pet's needs! I offer a range of personalized pet services: whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra hand, I'm here to help! I'm committed to providing compassionate and professional care for your beloved companions. Contact me today to discuss your pet's specific needs and create a customized care plan🫶 As a full-time pet care professional (and former vet tech!), pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized small dogs and specialize in creating a calm, loving environment for both small dogs and gentle giants. I have extensive experience with senior pets, dogs with special needs, and pups who just need a little extra TLC. I work from home and structure my days around the animals in my care, with walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of cozy couch cuddles. I’m rarely away for more than 3–4 hours, so your dog will have a steady, comforting presence and personalized attention all day long. Whether they’re energetic or easygoing, your pup will feel safe, cared for, and right at home here. In my home, pets are truly treated like family. I usually only care for one (and no more than three) visiting dogs at a time, in addition to my own friendly resident pups, so each guest gets plenty of individualized attention. Every dog has their own cozy private space for naps, meals, and downtime, and a large shared area for safe, supervised play if they enjoy socializing. I remove toys during group play to prevent guarding issues and ensure calm, respectful interactions. Dogs are walked three times a day and also have supervised leashed or tethered access to my private yard for fresh air, sniffing, and sunshine. When the weather is nice, we love lounging on the porch or stretching out on a blanket in the grass together. Whether they’re here for boarding or daycare, your dog will enjoy a calm, structured, and loving environment where their needs and comfort come first. When caring for pets in their own homes, I aim to maintain their usual routines and comforts as closely as possible. I provide regular walks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of companionship so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. My experience as a former vet tech gives me confidence in caring for seniors, special needs pets, and administering medications safely and gently.

About: I recently finished medical school and have a few months off before residency starts. I am not used to having so much time on my hands and would love to use the time to help care for your pet! I have been dog sitting for about 8 year now and recently got my own puppy. Depending on your pet he can come on walks with us or stay at home. I have experience with puppies all the way through senior dogs. I also have experience and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I recently finished medical school and now have a few months of vacation. Right now my schedule is very open and I am able to provide care at any time you need. I can watch your dog in my home. I do have my own 5 month old puppy. He loves other dogs but definitely had puppy energy so bringing the right dog into my home is a must. I’d be happy to walk your dog in the parks in my area. I love hiking in the woods with my dogs.

About: I started dog and cat sitting this summer using TrustedHousesitters and so far have really enjoyed getting to take care of people’s pets! If you are curious to see my reviews there, I would be happy to send you a link to my profile. Before this summer, I had pet sat before via drop-in visits, starting while I was in college. During the school year, I foster cats for a local foster agency (Project Meow). While I don't have experience fostering dogs, I did grow up in a household with two dogs, and I love being around dogs as well. I often do my research from home, which means I am generally available for drop in visits and dog walking visits throughout the week. I also LOVE to walk and run, so am happy to provide LONG walks to your dogs! It’s a bonus if they can accompany me on a run! I’m a PhD student and all my research is conducted remotely. This means I have plenty of time to play with, cuddle with, and walk your pets. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I do have classes which will keep me out of the house for about 4 hours. I take your pet’s health and care extremely seriously. I am dedicated to ensuring that your pets are comfortable at all times, and prefer to have a phone call/meet and greet before agreeing to a sit so I can understand just what kind of care your pet needs.

Deanna is awesome! She makes you feel so comfortable leaving your fur baby with her and gives you updates and replies right away! I’ve only went with her one time and feel like she’s family already. It’s a hard decisions finding someone to care for your child while you’re away but she definitely puts your mind at ease!

About: I grew up with dogs and have had cats as an adult. I love dogs but I travel too much to have my own, so pet sitting is the next best thing. I work from home and have good control over my schedule. I already take walk breaks during the day (including 45 min - 1 hour at lunchtime) and have a large fenced yard. I give lots of attention and cuddles to any dogs and cats in my care, and ensure plenty of playtime, running, and walks. Dogs and cats are welcome in my workspace while I’m working, and on the furniture throughout the house.

Anna is amazing! The test of whether my dog is well is taken care of is how he acts when I bring him back after the first day. After one day with Anna he pulled me all the way from the road to her door, impatiently anticipated her opening the door, and then flew inside to greet her like he does our closest family and friends. In addition, she is a genuinely kind person who is helpful and flexible. Don’t hesitate to book with her! Your pup will be in the best of hands with Anna! 💕
