About: I'm an avid thru-hiker who completed the 2,192-mile Appalachian Trail, and a lifelong dog lover. I'm active every day with hiking, walking, and yoga, so your dog will never be under-exercised. I currently feed and care for six semi-feral backyard cats, so I'm comfortable with animals of all temperaments. Reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet's routine exactly. I've also hiked Spain's Camino del Norte and run a small hiking YouTube channel (Dundee Hikes). I am retired, my days are flexible and built around staying active — morning yoga, daily walks or hikes, and plenty of time at home. Pet care fits naturally into that: I'm around most of the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and company, and I can adapt to your pet's existing routine. I will take clear and concise notes and follow your pet's routine exactly. I will care for them like they are my own and be respectful of your property.
“Eden did an excellent job with our pets. We have 1 active terrier and 2 cats. She visited 3 times a day and gave our pets the attention they needed to not feel lonely. This was a surprise trip for us and she was able to accommodate us. She also made sure our shy cat was eating and well. Our dog will miss her! She gave us updates and was really responsive. I would definitely book her again, thanks Eden!”


About: From birth I have been surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, chickens, goats, and many creatures in between. My dad trained dogs and horses (no such thing as cat training…. If you know, you know) and taught me all he knows. I have fostered and trained puppies and currently have 2 cats of my own who are great with dogs. I am a travel nurse and don’t think the long shifts would be fair to have a dog of my own, otherwise I would! I had to remove all of my bengal’s teeth after an emergency and had to fight a newly adopted bengal to give him his antibiotics and pain meds in forms of pills and drops. I have lived through many animals’s passing from old age so am well versed in senior cares as well. Through my career and life experiences no emergency is too big for me. Your pets activity level will become mine- young or old hearted I am here to hang! I got cats so I could go away for weekends and still hire folks on Rover to come give them love on trips they can’t come cause I feel too bad otherwise. Pets are our babies and alike to humans all have their own personalities. I am super excited to get to know yours and thank you for trusting me with your family members :) I work 12 hour night shifts from 7pm-7am 3 days a week, but my partner works from home so there is always someone to give them love. Off days are spent in the mountains on trails or relaxing around the house. I have a large backyard and 2 cats who are missing a dog to play with or rooms they can safely relax in if your furry friend is not other-pet friendly. I come home to go on a walk and wake up in time to drink some coffee and enjoy some hours before work. I have a high fenced yard. I like to keep the routine the same as their normal, so will rely on your directions on when to feed, exercise, and wind down if there are any specifics. Multiple walks a day during the cooler hours is my favorite way to exercise, and if your pup is social enjoy a good social outing to the local dog park. I like to fish up in the mountains so picnics and splashes in some mountain water is always a dog approved activity in my experience
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was little and have always wanted a dog of my own. Luckily, I was able to grow up with my cousins’ dogs throughout my childhood! I have a lot of experience dog sitting for my friends and family. I enjoy taking long walks through the park by my home and will make sure your dog enjoys them as much as I do! I am an observant, attentive, and punctual person so your dog will be in very good hands! I will make sure to feed and walk your dog in a timely manner all while making sure they’re enjoying their time with me! Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priority and they will be treated like family! I am a new grad nurse born and raised in NYC. I’m currently at home for most of the week, making it possible to dog-sit, house-sit, host doggy day cares, and complete drop in visits. My schedule is pretty flexible, but I appreciate clear, advanced notices if any changes were to occur. I live on the second floor of a walk up in a dog friendly neighborhood. I also live right by multiple small parks so there are many places nearby to take your dog out for walks and get all their energy out!

About: I have experience working with an wide range of animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, and goats. I treat every pet like family, providing patient, attentive care tailored to their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need extra patience, consistency, and love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I have a full-time 8–5 job, but I make time before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention.

“Jaelynn is the best! She’s amazing with the pups, incredibly reliable, and always keeps us in the loop. Her communication is fantastic, and we feel so comfortable knowing they’re in her care!”

About: Hi, I’m Savanna! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 13 and was his primary caregiver for five years. From daily walks and feedings to vet visits, training, and plenty of playtime, I learned firsthand how much love, patience, and responsibility go into keeping a pup happy and healthy. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’m committed to giving them the same care and attention I gave my own. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or making sure their routine is followed just right, your dog will be in safe, caring hands with me. I’m currently doing an unpaid internship and looking to build my hours, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs. I provide loving, reliable care; fresh food, water, exercise, play, and attention—while keeping pets safe, healthy, and happy. You can trust me to treat them like family.
About: I’ve grown up with numerous dogs throughout my entire life. I also love spending time with and caring for other animals including cats, reptiles, horses and other farm animals. I worked for a year at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I would watch over sometimes 20+ dogs at a time. I have dog sat and walked before on Wag! and through family friends. I’ve learned a lot about body language and positive feedback based basic training. I’ve cared for many pets including my own of all ages and who have suffered with various medical conditions and treatment plans. Most of all I just love to love on animals 🙂↕️🫶🏻 I’m currently just doing side gigs and focusing on making art throughout my days. I have no hard limits on availability and would love to work with you to fit you and your pets’ schedule! I have a fenced yard with 3-4 dogs at my semi permanent residence. I will mostly reside in a hotel going forward so will not be offering services at my home. I have a Lexus Rx-350 that I’m willing to transport pets in at the owners discretion and with correct safety precautions.
About: Hello! I’m a 31-year-old work-from-home entrepreneur and former flight instructor with a passion for animals. After graduating from the University of Florida in 2015, I moved to Los Angeles, where I worked as a nanny before becoming a flight attendant. It was during that time that I discovered my love for aviation, eventually earning my certifications to become a commercial airline pilot. Now, I’m looking for additional opportunities to provide exceptional care for your pets. I’ll care for and love your fur babies as if they were my own, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-looked after. I’m responsible, flexible with scheduling, and have reliable transportation, making me available to accommodate any special needs, including transporting your pets if necessary. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love the opportunity to support you and your pets! My schedule is flexible and easily accommodating to your pet’s needs.

I have easy access to walks for much needed activity and exercise.
About: Hello! I am very experienced in any and all dog needs. I work from home, can provide enriching walks, and also have a huge fenced in back yard. I live with one very well trained and friendly dog of my own and am passionate about giving dogs amazing experiences! I work from home, so I can spend as much time with your pup as you'd like! Typically, I leave my house for the gym once a day. I take care of every dog like they are my own. I have one well-trained and friendly pup of my own that yours can play with while they are here! There is a large and safe area for them to run around outside, as well as be cared for inside. No rooms or surfaces are off limits for pets, aside from sleeping in my bed.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I’ve watched big dogs like pit bulls to tiny little shi tzu’s. While I don’t have professional experience, I know a lot about dogs and I’m very gentle and tending to an owners needs. I’ve been trusted by many family members to watch and walk their dogs and have received nothing but positive feedback. I truly have a heart for dogs and am motivated to make them happy. I’m working part time due to my full time college schedule, so I have a lot of time to walk dogs or pet sit them while you are away at work! I’m looking to make some extra money to afford studying dental hygiene at UNM. I get out of class at about 2:30pm every weekday, and after that I’m free. I live in an apartment with many huge grass patches for dogs to run around, along with a dog park on the property. I also have a patio for them to play, and a huge crate for my own dog which any dog could use if needed. I’m very good with instructions, because I’m picky myself when finding a dog sitter.

About: I’ve taken care of animals within my own home ever since I became a teenager- I have experience with bathing, feeding, walking, and playing. I genuinely love all kinds of animals, but especially dogs and cats. I’m a student at CNM who is currently registered for Monday and Wednesday classes. Mondays I will still be available after 2pm, but Wednesdays I can only do nights. I make sure to keep an eye out for general well-being, checking on pets regularly. I also make sure they get what they need when they need it according to any schedules.
About: I have two dogs that absolutely adores me. Have a great rapore with dogs, they search me out in public. I am patient and loving and am known as the "puperoni lady". I have a doggie door and good sized yard. Play time is essential. I have had dogs all my life. I love giving attention and don't mind if they like being on the furniture or bed. My husband is also an animal lover. We always socialize our babies with travels and they are well behaved. We bath our dogs every two weeks. I look forward to meeting with you and your fur baby and will treat them as my own fur baby. I spend lots of time playing and interacting with my babies, talking with them and they vocalize excitement. They are well socialized as we take them everywhere. Dogs are allowed on furnitue and on the bed with us. We have lots of dog beds and toys for your babies to play with. Unfortunately, during a meet and greet, my Duchess suffered a brutal unprovoked attack from a "friendly" pitbull so I choose not to accept bullie breeds. I am retired, so home most of the time. Lots of toys and things to keep them busy. Play outside with babies. Large back yard. I have a fenced back yard and one friendly pup, recently lost our Scooter to the Rainbow Bridge. Grass and trees for shade. Would prefer having dogs in my home, instead of yours.

“Melissa was amazing with my kitty Bella. My cat quickly warmed up to Melissa even though she is a shy kitty. She took great care of my cat and sent me tons of pictures and update during my trip. I definitely recommend Melissa for her services.”

About: I lost my sixteen-year-old fur baby in October, 2018 and find myself missing that special energy only pets can bring. I have been caring for various pets for my friends and family for about 20 years and have done drop ins and overnight visits. I do have a full-time 8-5:30, Monday-Friday (and many Saturdays) job however, and am not available to provide constant care for pets. I do have more than enough time to devote myself to the love and care of your fur baby. In my home, in my life, dogs and cats are family and deserve the same love, care, and respect that human beings deserve. Perhaps more. While I have more experience with dogs I haven’t met a cat I couldn’t win over. Rest assured that if you place the care of your beloved pets in my hands they will be well loved while you are out of town. Your home will be cared for as well. I do have a “regular” 8 am to 5 pm job. My evenings and nights are free. Weekends are also more flexible for me when it comes to spending quality time with your baby. I am not able to provide constant care. I live in an apartment complex so I am more than happy to visit your fur baby in their own environment. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible so I’d prefer to maintain the schedule and comfort they’re used to.
“Carlota was wonderful! My baby was immediately attached to her. She made sure my baby had lots of time to stretch her legs and get some fresh air each time she dropped in. We scheduled Carlota in a pinch and are so glad we did! 🥰”

Daniel once again was awesome and took great care of our fur babies! We know we have a large fur family, but the care, attention, and love Daniel gives our pets is truly appreciated. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying because we knew our pets were in great hands. We highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Celeste is hands down the best pet sitter we ever had. We were so worried because we had an unexpected trip come up and were scrambling to find help with our pets. Celeste stepped up and helped us in our time of need. She went above and beyond to show us our pets were loved and well taken care of. I cannot sing her praises enough 💛💛💛
Sara watched my very energetic Labradoodle, Luffy, and my miniature schnauzer mix, Smokey, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was incredibly thorough during the meet and greet, making sure everything was in place beforehand to provide the best care while I was away. Her genuine affection and connection with my pets were evident in every check-in photo and message. She had the patience of a saint when it came to handling my very energetic dog. She even got Luffy to sit and stay, which felt like a miracle! I would highly recommend her and will definitely book again. I’m pretty sure my dogs already miss her!
